Glou is the de rigueur term used for natural wines that you can just glug back and enjoy. This is one of those wines. Light and dangerously drinkable, enjoy this slightly chilled should you care to do so. Floral and red berries abound with a touch of wild strawberry and perhaps just a hint of spice

Organic, Low Sulfur, Vegan

Le Ferme des Sept Lunes is a 10-hectare farm perched in one of the highest areas of St Joseph. Visiting involves a tortuous 350m road-climb from the valley floor. The hair-pins are not for the faint-hearted. The latest of three generations on the same farm, Jean converted to organic and biodynamic agriculture in 1997 and only uses sulphur in his wines when it’s absolutely unavoidable. The vineyards in the upper part of St.Joseph have a south-eastern exposure, the altitude bringing freshness to the wines. The climate has been tending to Mediterranean in recent year, with wind coming from the north.
