A Verse Les Maoù is a remarkably fresh, fluid natural white wine crafted in the rugged, sun-drenched landscapes of Vaucluse in southern France. Masterminds Vincent and Aurélie Garreta turn traditional, heavy Southern French white wine expectations completely on their head with this cuvée, opting instead for a bright, laser-focused, and low-alcohol profile that champions ultimate drinkability. Pouring a vibrant, clean pale straw yellow, the wine leaps out of the glass with a lively bouquet of fresh citrus peel, crisp green orchard fruits, white spring blossoms, and a fragrant whisper of wild Mediterranean garrigue herbs. On the palate, it is incredibly light on its feet at just nine and a half to ten and a half percent alcohol, offering a crunchy, thirst-quenching fruit character balanced by a fine, chalky minerality and an energetic, ultra-clean finish.
Before turning to winemaking in 2014, Vincent Garreta was a mathematics statistician with a PhD in climatology, and Aurélie was a postal worker. Drawn by a love for natural wine and a desire to honor Vincent's grandmother’s history with the land, they established Les Maoù near the stunning limestone cliffs of Gordes. Today, they farm around 10 hectares of old vines featuring over 18 diverse grape varieties. Their estate is run like a polyculture farm, integrated with fruit trees, cover crops, and high biodiversity to revive soil health. In the cellar, they completely step aside—using zero chemical additions or harsh filtrations to craft light, soulful, and deeply "digestible" wines that reflect pure fruit energy.
