Fleur has been one of our favourite producers since popping up on the UK scene last year with Putes Feministes 2019 being crowned our wine of the year in 2020. Although only crossing the channel last year Fleur has been on the French natural wine scene for a few years now. In 2016, after a year travelling with her friend Justine Saint Lo, the two published "Pur Jus" (Pure Juice), a comic book about the natural wine producers they met along the way aswell as another volume about winemaking.
With 'Vins et Volailles', she takes over and renames the family business, a poultry specialist farm based in the Dordogne, and starts co-producing and distributing limited editions of incredible and unique natural wines. Each Wine and label is designed by Justine, and they use the opportunity to call out on the overly patriarchal and misogynistic attitude of the wine industry and society at large.
Our Discover Fleur Godart pack includes her latest 4 releases, all unique, delicious and wonderfully crafted
First up is Amazones, a beautiful Natural Red Wine made from a blend of Regent (a red hybrid with a white flavor profile) and Sylvaner. Notes of Fruits and flowers of all colors (from blackcurrant to peach through to Lilys and Hyacinth), a complex and delicate wine oozing freshness.
