The family story has a certain poetry: Jean-Luc Hubert descends from Gironde river sailors who transported wine, and Catherine from a line of vignerons — their ancestors worked together for generations before the families united. After a violent storm in December 1999, the couple converted fully to organic and biodynamic farming, certified since 2000. Now in its sixth generation, siblings Rachel and Guillaume lead the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNouvelle Vigne is a 50\/50 blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from 45-year-old vines on limestone-clay soils, hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, with no inputs beyond a small addition of sulfur, no fining, and bottled on a fruit day of the biodynamic calendar. It is released as a Vin de France — outside the AOC system — giving the family freedom to express the wine on its own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Nouvelle Vigne is a fresh, precise, and quietly characterful right-bank red that plays to the strengths of both varieties without pushing either too hard. It opens with aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, and green pepper, with a thread of chalk and dried herbs. On the palate it is medium-bodied and lively, with supple tannins, good acidity, and a clean, mineral finish with a plummy softness from the Merlot and a lifted, aromatic edge from the Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Duck confit with lentils and mustard greens, a charcuterie board with cornichons and country pâté, roasted beets with goat cheese and walnuts, or a relaxed weeknight dinner of steak haché (in 'Merican talk, it's a burger patty that's elevated) with a glass poured before the pan is even off the stove.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bianco-Rosso Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45817012125892,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0350\/8676\/files\/DSCF1973-NV.png?v=1776837071","url":"https:\/\/offsetbottleshop.com\/products\/peybonhomme-vdf-rouge-nouvelle-vigne-2021","provider":"Offset Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
