Belly Wine Experiment
Auvergne, France
A fearless Auvergne collective founded by Claire Sage, Aimé Duveau, and Guy Enoch in Chanteuges, exploring fermentation without limits — blending Catalan Xarel-lo with Auvergnat Gamay, Alsatian Pinot Gris with southern Carignan, and crafting meticulous heirloom perries alongside experimental pét-nats. Forgive the name-dropping, but we need to mention the circle of family, friends and mentors: Aurelian Lefort, Manu Duveau (Yahou Fatal), Adrien Sage (natural wine importer) and the star of the show, Gamay d'Auvergne. We're proud to support these young experimental winemakers' introduction to the US. The wines are certainly experimental, but we took our small allocation to get in on the ground floor of what is sure to be an exceptional journey.
