Behind the Bottle
In the appellation of Arbois, Philippe Chatillon has tended to his small, 2 hectare vineyard of steep, marl rich soil since 2013. Working biodynamically with no pesticides or chemical fertilizers whatsoever, his extreme philosophy is perhaps best exemplified by his work in the cellar. Although spontaneous fermentation, no fining, and no filtration is normal for natural wine — he uses the vibrations of singing bowls and crystal harps to achieve balance within the large wooden barrels of aging wines. Trust us, it works.
