Plan B Les Maoù is an incredibly vibrant, refreshing natural white wine crafted in the sun-baked Vaucluse region near Ventoux in southern France. Produced by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo Vincent and Aurélie Garreta, this low-intervention blend captures both the warm Mediterranean sun and the cool mountain air of the region using old, organically farmed vines. In the glass, it pours a beautiful, bright pale straw yellow and immediately opens with an expressive nose of fresh citrus peel, crisp green pear, delicate white blossoms, and a subtle hint of wild, sun-baked garrigue herbs. On the palate, the wine delivers a wonderfully crisp, light, and zesty profile with a texturally clean mouthfeel that makes it exceptionally thirst-quenching.
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.
