A unique and innovative white wine from Clos Bateau, born out of creative necessity after the loss of part of the Sauvage. Babatise combines biodynamically grown Sylvaner, Riesling, and a touch of Gewürztraminer from Alsace, sourced from schist-rich soils. With a peachy hue and a velvety texture imparted by aging on the lees of Mayga (Gamay), this wine defies convention while delivering a fresh and intriguing experience.

WHAT TYPE OF GROWERS WE WORK WITH
OIur wines are a reflection of nature's truest form. We partner only with biodynamic vineyards—places where vines are nurtured with a reverence for the earth and a deep respect for natural rhythms. These vineyards view the soil not as a means to an end but as a living, breathing ecosystem. By working in harmony with the land, they cultivate wines that are as alive as the soils they spring from.
Our wines hold the pure expression of the vine, untouched by chemical interference and guided by the wisdom of traditional methods. Each bottle carries an honest snapshot of its origin: the seasons, the hands that tended the vines, and the character of the soil itself. These are wines with a pulse, honest and unapologetic, offering a taste of nature in its unaltered state.
