A pioneer in natural winemaking
In 2020, France was the first country to approve an official label for naturally produced wines - wines packaged with “"Vin Méthode Nature" must be made from chemical-free grapes, handpicked, fermented with native yeast, and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide can be added (with the final wine containing less than 30 milligrams per liter).
