A856 BRUNO CIOFI(BERET ET COMPAGNIE) VdF ZE CHENIN 2020 750ml A607 BRUNO CIOFI(BERET ET COMPAGNIE) VdF ZE BULLE VIN PETILLANT (LZB21) 750ml
Biologique Chenin Blanc 100% in dry style. 50% from Schiste + 50% from Tuffeau(Loire Valley's local limestone). Ze Bulle is made by a unique and original method which was invented by Philippe Gourdon of Château La Tour Grise . All the carbon gas and aromas generated during the fermentation process are recharged into the wines before bottling.

The new lot Ze Bulle 2021 has pale pink colour, softly bubbled, a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet-Sauvignon from biodynamically farmed vineyards. Grolleau Noir and Gamay were not blended in this year.

Françoise and Phillipe Gourdon retired in 2015 and then Bruno Ciofi's “Béret & Compagnie” had taken over the production of Ze Bulle in 2018. This lot has freshness and bright details. Alc 9.0%

Bruno Ciofi started his career as a wine-maker at Domaine Pierre Frick, one of the pioneers of biodynamic farming and natural wine making in Alsace. After 13 years of experience with Jean-Pierre Frick, Bruno moved to Arbois(Jura) in 2008 and he had worked for Domaine de la Pinte until 2016. Bruno brought biodynamic farming to the vineyards in 2009(Domaine de la Pinte has been biologic since 1999), and then Domaine de la Pinte improved its quality dramatically.

While he was on a streak, Bruno met
Virginie Joly, daughter of Nicolas Joly and it was another turning point of his life. Bruno decided to leave Jura and move to Anjou to start a new life with Virginie. It was in the mid 2010’s. At that time, Mark Angéli - La Ferme de la Sansonnière, another deified natural wine producer in Anjou - was looking for a partner and Mark approached Bruno. Mark and Bruno clicked and they began producing wine together in 2016.

Bruno also started the project “BÉRET et COMPAGNIE” on his own. BÉRET et COMPAGNIE assists small producers in Loire Valley who are working in a natural way but don't have enough power to bottle or commercialize their products. BÉRET et COMPAGNIE selects only grapes or wines from biodynamic/biologic vineyards, and also supports converting their vineyards from conventional farming to natural farming.
