There is no lack of solutions to deepen your knowledge or discover natural wine. You can take a walk around our site for example, but you can also read some books. Small selection.

Naked Wine 

ALICE FEIRING / jp rock editor New Yorker, Alice Feiring travels through the vineyards from the Ardèche to California to make the apology of natural wine. A fascinating story, rich in anecdotes and written in a sincere language.

Manifesto for natural wine

ANTONIN IOMMI-AMUNATEGUI / Editions de l'épure Antonin Iommi-Amunategui, host of the famous blog "No Wine is Innocent", discusses the issues and urgencies that weigh on all the players (winemakers, wine merchants...) who claim natural wines. A useful manifesto that seeks to name the idea of natural wine for good and to offer a consensus on the subject.

To finally know who we drink 

SEBASTIEN BARRIER / southern acts Originally an incredible spectacle of crazy confessions from a natural wine lover, Savons enfin qui nous boire is also a book. Same thing, the love of words shines brightly here, the portraits of winemakers and digressions follow one another. Sebastien Barrier is definitely the genius that natural wine needed!

In the Vineyards

CATHERINE BERNARD / éditions du Rouergue In January 2005, Catherine Bernard, a forty year old journalist from the west of France, bought three hectares of land in the Languedoc hillsides and set up her own business at Winemaker. She begins another life, a new life. This book tells the story of her installation, her doubts, her acclimatisation.

Today's Thirst 

SYLVIE AUGUEREAU ET ANTOINE GERBELLE / tana éditions A 100% grape book. Undertaken by Sylvie Augereau (whose wines you can find on our site) and Antoine Gerbelle, "thirst of today" lists about 250 winegrowers, 300 100% natural wines. More than a simple guide, the directory also gives the floor to some winegrowers and offers always pleasant articles on the rebirth of the horse in the vineyards for example.

And also comics!

The Ignorant

DAVODEAU STAND / futuropolis For a year, Étienne Davodeau tasted the joys of pruning, cooperage, and even wondered about biodynamics. Richard Leroy, for his part, read comic books, met authors, went to festivals, went to a printer, looked at drawing boards... A success story of a unique cross initiation.

Mimi, Fifi, Gurgling (1 & 2)

MICHEL TOLMER / Editions de l'épure Mimi, Fifi and Gobblegook don't drink too much, they drink all the time. Tasting is all they think about, they dream about it at night, it's a passion that overrides everything. Des square bubbles full of humour and derision!
