0.72 + De Vini "Melon de Bourgone"

Vinilibre is a dynamic natural wine estate and import project helmed by Christophe Bosque in Gorges, the heart of France's Nantes region. Rejecting the conventional chemical practices of the local appellation, Bosque intentionally steps outside the Muscadet AOP to craft deeply expressive, zero-sulfite expressions of Melon de Bourgogne from a 1.6-hectare estate of old vines planted around 1950. Farmed traditionally without chemicals and worked by horses, his deeply rooted vines thrive on unique gabbro and granite soils. In the cellar, Bosque utilizes traditional subterranean, sandstone-tiled Nantes vats and experimental sandstone jars to produce highly personal, low-intervention wines. Celebrated across the Parisian natural wine scene and exported worldwide, Vinilibre’s lineup complemented by meticulously sourced grapes from grower-friends in the Loire, Rhône, and Languedoc combines serious terroir precision with witty, pun-filled labels like Gabbrodô and Armageddon.
