Château de Verreux lies in Arbois, in eastern France’s Jura region, surrounded by vineyards and ancient marine fossils.The estate dates back to the 18th century and is officially listed as a protected historical monument.

The Brunel family has been present in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region for generations. In 1954 Lucien Brunel, Fabrice’s grandfather, gave the domaine the name Les Cailloux, “the pebbles,” a reference to the round stones that shape the soils of the appellation.

What if you could enjoy wine without the alcohol, and without losing the flavor, the feeling, or the ritual? Moderato Wines is making that possible. I spoke to co-founder Fabien Marchand-Cassagne to understand how they are using technology, tradition, and a lot of care to shape the future of wine.

I met Alban Cacaret, co-owner and director of Château Peyrassol, on a rainy day at Hotel Grand Joanne in Copenhagen. It’s the kind of day that feels like November, even though it's the end of May. But today, I’m tasting rosé. The contrast is not lost on Alban Cacaret, he laughs as he glances toward the windows: “Rosé is sunshine,” he says. “It’s meant for terraces, laughter, and warm evenings.”

When I had the chance to sit down with Nicolas Joly, one of the most passionate advocates of biodynamic winemaking, I knew it would be a conversation filled with insights.
