Bars à vin naturel : la nouvelle tendance des bars à vins

Natural wine bars: the new trend in wine bars

If there is one place that makes everyone agree, it's the bar. Small, large, modern, retro, gastro or bistro atmosphere, in a bar you feel good and there is something for everyone. Today, we are talking to you about natural wine bars , a concept that is becoming more and more popular.


A natural wine bar, kesako?

Is it really necessary to remember what a bar is ? Necessary we don't think, but just for fun, we'll do it. The bass is a very good fish and it is also a place where there is life , a place where you meet with friends, family or lovers to enjoy a moment of escape, a good glass in hand, tapas to nibble on and lots of stories to tell. Sometimes when we walk, the simple fact of passing next to a full terrace, where we can see smiles emerging, glances being exchanged and glasses clinking, fills us with joy.

What we love about bars is their great diversity. There are identical bar chains, like restaurant chains, but most bars are authentic creations, unique places of independent traders who have created a cocoon place in their image. In addition to the choice of decoration, the layout of the tables and the place itself, the owner also chooses his wine list and his assortments of aperitifs . Getting settled is one thing, eating and drinking well is another.


According to the feedback from our partner bars and restaurants , you really like our wines on the table and on the terrace, it makes us very happy and we thank you for this good feedback.

Natural wine, star of bars in 2021

Isn't wine necessarily natural? Not quite. Winegrowers do not yet have the power to transform water into wine, at least not with the snap of their fingers. To obtain this sweet beverage, the grapes from the vineyard must be transformed following the winemaking process . Viticulture and viniculture are not basic natural, they can be conventional, so let's see the methods of a natural wine together .


What is natural viticulture?

To make good natural wine, you need healthy, non-pesticidal grapes that breathe fresh air. Far from conventional viticulture , winegrowers who produce natural wine follow the principles of organic viticulture by using natural fertilizers to protect the soil in an effective and responsible way.


In this article we explain everything about soil maintenance in organic viticulture

Filled with love and fresh water, the natural grapes contain a healthy juice and the winegrowers do not stop there, the natural cultivation process goes all the way to the harvest . For harvesting , there are two options: either by hand or using a harvesting machine . Even if the harvesting machines are not Ferraris, it is still much faster than the hand of man. You surely know La Fontaine's fable about the hare and the tortoise, speed and haste should not be confused. Harvesting by hand is a long-term job, which requires time and energy but which is less aggressive for the vine . It is therefore on their two legs and equipped with their secateurs that the winegrowers who produce natural wine harvest the bunches of grapes to ensure that they have the best fruit with the most tender treatment possible.

What is natural viniculture?

That's it, the grapes are in the cellar , ready to be vinified . Once again, the winemaker uses his hands and his heart to produce good wine. The credo of winegrowers who produce natural wine is to get as close as possible to the original juice. There are like airs of Adam and Eve. To find the good taste of the wine without it being denatured by external elements, the winegrowers limit the inputs and additives as much as possible , there are almost none in natural wines . Some wines are even called SAINS wines (Without Any Inputs Or Added Sulfites) .


The sulfur levels of natural wines are as low as possible, which gives a completely different flavor to these unique wines. Some are fans, others are more reluctant, in any case these wines are worth the detour and the tasting . That's good because it's in the bars that these wines are beginning to settle down, ready to be enjoyed by any bon vivant.
