66% Marsanne 33% Viognier

Pauline Maziou started Petite Nature in 2019 in Quintenas (northern Ardèche) with half a hectare of vines and a 2,000-bottle production, after retraining with Jean Delobre of La Ferme des Sept Lunes and Daniel Sage. The cellar lives in her basement, equipment is hand-operated, vineyards are organically farmed with a strong biodynamic streak. Paysages is a Marsanne-led white (66% Marsanne, 33% Viognier), direct-pressed and vinified without additives. The wine's character runs to acacia blossom, white peach and a touch of warm stone, with the supple Northern Rhône texture pulled into salinity by the cellar's restraint. 11% alcohol on the 2024 release is on the lower end of Petite Nature's published range; expect freshness over weight.

Direct-pressed Marsanne and Viognier. Native-yeast fermentation. Bottled without additives, no added sulphur. Hand-worked vineyards under organic and strongly biodynamic-influenced practice.

Sérine Viognier Cinsault

Sorcière is Pauline Maziou's Northern-Rhône-feeling estate red, blending Sérine (the old, small-berried Syrah clone associated with Côte-Rôtie's heritage parcels) with Viognier and Cinsault. Maziou started Petite Nature in 2019 in Quintenas (northern Ardèche) with half a hectare of vines and a 2,000-bottle production; the cellar sits in her basement and the equipment is mostly hand-operated. Vineyards are organically farmed with strong biodynamic influence. Vinification runs to native yeasts, no additives, no added sulphur. 11% alcohol on the 2024 is a deliberate early-pick choice; the wine reads more like a brisk, peppery Northern Rhône natural red than a southern blend, with Sérine pulling the spice and Viognier softening texture.

100% Gamay

Tombée du Ciel is Pauline Maziou's solo-Gamay bottling at Petite Nature in Quintenas (northern Ardèche), where she started with half a hectare in 2019 and built the project from a basement cellar with mostly hand-operated equipment. Vineyards are organically farmed with strong biodynamic influence, and the cellar runs without additives or added sulphur, native yeasts only. Gamay in the northern Ardèche reads quite differently from Beaujolais: the granite and clay-granite soils push the variety toward dark fruit, peppery lift and a more savoury finish, with the early-pick house style holding the alcohol to 11% on the 2024 release. A useful natural-wine Gamay for accounts looking past the standard Beaujolais reference points.
