Nestled in the sun-baked village of Visan within France's Southern Rhône Valley, Rémi Pouizin's Vice Versa is a playful, boundary-pushing co-ferment that flips the script on convention—a declassified Vin de France red born from the unconventional marriage of red and white grapes, embodying the biodynamic ethos of Domaine Dieu-Le-Fit, Rémi's 15-hectare certified organic estate (biodynamic practices since 2010). Hand-harvested from a single parcel of 50% Cinsault and 50% Viognier vines rooted in the region's classic galets roulés (pebble-strewn clay-limestone soils) that soak up Mistral winds and Mediterranean warmth, the grapes are destemmed and macerated together for six days before wild-yeast co-fermentation in concrete tanks—no fining, no filtering, just a whisper of sulfur (30 ppm) added before bottling on a biodynamic "fruit day" for a pure, hazy expression at 12% ABV that dances between worlds with effortless grace.Translucent ruby-pink in the glass with a gentle haze and inviting sheen, it leaps with an aromatic rush of tart cranberries, ripe raspberries, and blood orange zest, laced with juicy peach, apricot, honeysuckle florals, and a subtle earthy undertone that echoes Visan's flinty terroir. On the palate, it's light and electrifying—crunchy red berries and stone fruit mingle with bright, quenching acidity, whisper-soft tannins, and a savory, herbal snap of white pepper and saline minerality, finishing crisp and clean with a lingering fruit echo that's as refreshing as it is moreish. Serve well-chilled (10–12°C) for its chillable swagger, pairing it with BBQ lettuce wraps, chicken tagine with apricots, honey-drizzled goat cheese, or grilled sausages under the stars. Dive in now through 2027 to savor its youthful zip—this is Rhône's natural rebel, proving a vice-versa twist can yield the most deliciously approachable thrill.
