DOMAINE L'OCTAVIN Le Roi des Cépages

"Domaine de l’Octavin Le Roi des Cépages is a Riesling that reigns supreme in the world of natural wine, hailing from the Jura region of France via Alsatian grapes. Crafted by the talented Alice Bouvot, this biodynamic beauty comes from organic vines tended by Philippe Brand in Ergersheim, Alsace. Whole-cluster fermented for weeks on its skins and aged in tanks with native yeasts, it’s bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfur—pure juice, no compromises. Expect a lively dance of tangerine zest, stone fruit, and flinty minerality, with a textured, aromatic finish that lingers. From the vibrant 5-hectare estate in Arbois, where wild grasses and insects thrive alongside the vines, Le Roi des Cépages (King of Grapes) is a testament to Bouvot’s minimalist mastery. Pair it with stinky cheese or roasted meats, and let this royal pour steal the show!"
