    When people talk seriously about “natural” wines, they talk about the organic wines of Mas de Gourgonnier. In the heart of Provence in the 1970s, this family estate was one of the first officially certified organic wineries, back when such a practice was seen as foolish for vine growers trying to make a living.

    Yet Mas de Gourgonnier’s organic roots go back even further. Since the eighteenth century, the Cartier family has worked these fields, providing the local abbey with freshly grown fruits, vegetables and grain. It was in the 1950s when the family planted its first vines.

    The rest, as it is said, is history. Here in Mouries, you’ll find a direct, unadulterated connection between the land and each bottle. The earthy aromas of flowering rosemary, wild sage and juniper and the mountain freshness of the cooling "mistral" winds are all echoed in the estate's organically raised wines.

    Mas de Gourgonnier has been a North Berkeley partner for more than 25 years. In this unassuming, rugged appellation, the integrity and consistency of the family's philosophy and products mirrored our own as an importer. This is a vine-growing family that doesn't have to "sell" a natural philosophy; it's simply who they are, and who they've always been.

    This purity of focus and flavor is still true today. Mas de Gourgonnier is one of the bedrock estates in southern France and certainly one that has few peers.

    Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

    Uniquely dedicated to red wine production in a sea of rosé-producing regions, tiny Les Baux-de-Provence (325 hectares) is based geographically on an ancient hilltop village and viticulturally on natural farming methods. As a point of regional pride that most vignerons work their vines without artificial pesticides or fertilizers, this commitment shows itself in the high-quality, full-bodied, intriguing red blends, which make up two-thirds of the region’s production. Earthy and complex, Les Baux-do-Provence reds rival their celebrated Rhône Valley cousins. The blend takes advantage of Grenache’s jolly berry fruit, Syrah’s spicy cherry and the brooding plum of Mourvèdre. Rosé, the signature wine of Provence, is not forgotten, and the garrigue brings a lip-smacking savor to the bottles.
