Vent y Tourne 2020 is a natural wine crafted by Patrick Desplats, in the Loire region in France. Here in this Amphora red with no added sulphites, Patick uses Pineau d’Aunis, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon and a tiny bit of white grapes.

Patrick Desplats is quite an icon of the natural wine scene, having started Domaine Des Griottes in 1999 with Sébastien Dervieux of Domaine des Babass joining in 2001. The two went their seperate ways in 2011, with quite different styles and an alleged disagreement over whether to plough the soil or not, and disagreements on using tractors Vs horses.

Patrick makes wines in Qvevri Amphora buried in the ground, and like Sébastien Dervieux is strictly zero-zero in the approach to sulphites.


Patrick Desplats is quite a character. He avoids using fuel, meditating for hours on end in the sun, lives in a unelectrified 2m squared shack next to the vines and Qvevri garden to be as close to wild nature as possible,  is joined by cats and armed with a unique vision to his winemaking process not commonly found in France, but more Georgia. For example, he is known to train some of his vines up trees.  He does not use Sulphur or Copper in the vines. There is a polyculture of herbs, flowers, fruit trees amongst his wild looking vines, which he farms 6 hectares of. He no longer works with an actual winery, but lives and works outside, amongst the vines using Qvevri amphora to work without the need for electricity.


These VERY RARE, super low quantity wines are low alcohol, wild, vibrant and often with elements of Volatile Acidity, so be aware of this before you buy.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES BY PATRICK DESPLATS

Patrick Desplats is a legend in the natural wine world. He started Domaine Des Griottes in 1999, and Sébastien Dervieux of Domaine des Babass joined him in 2001. They went their separate ways in 2011, each developing their own style, with some differences over farming techniques like plowing, using tractors vs. horses, and more.
Patrick genuinely lives and works off the grid. He avoids using fuel, meditates for hours in the sun, and lives in a tiny, off-the-grid shack right next to his vines. His winemaking philosophy is unconventional, and it’s more in line with practices from Georgia than France. For example, he trains some of his vines up trees! He now farms 6 hectares of vines, surrounded by a wild mix of herbs, flowers, and fruit trees. He doesn’t use sulfur or copper in the vineyard, nor sulfites in the wine. He doesn’t even work in a traditional winery—he works outside, using Qvevri amphora to make his wines, staying as close to nature as possible.
These wines are super rare, low in alcohol, and often wild and vibrant with a bit of volatile acidity, so just keep that in mind before grabbing a bottle!

I never had a problem with one of their orders, the packaging was always perfect and they always added something as a surprise that was always welcoming (I'm still using the wine cloth).
