Description
From the first spark of the idea, L'Octavin Cariboom was born as a bold leap towards the natural and the pure. Alice Bouvot, an oenologist in the Jura, felt that her vines - both her own and those of others - were asking for more: less intervention, more character. The inspiration came after working with her friend Rémi Pujol, a biodynamic farmer in Languedoc, whose old vines of Cariñena, Muscat, Viognier and Molette - over 45 years old - were planted on granite and quartz soils. There, in a raw, mineral terroir, vibrant fruit was born, perfect for winemaking without make-up. The philosophy is radically organic, without compromise: biodynamic farming, hand harvesting, minimal intervention. A conscious decision to let the earth speak without filters, without SO₂, without added sugar, without additives. Just fruit and ferment.
Winemaking
The grapes that will give life to L'Octavin Cariboom enter the winery as they arrive from the field: whole bunches, without destemming. A semi-carbonic maceration is carried out for twenty days in tanks, where the fermentation starts from inside the berry, generating explosive aromas and tamed tannins. Once the maceration is complete, L'Octavin Cariboom continues its transformation in neutral tanks, without wood, in order to preserve its juicy and sincere character. It is not filtered, clarified or stabilised. Each bottle is a small living organism, a raw photograph of the vintage. Nothing added, nothing taken away: that is the premise.
Taste
In the glass, L'Octavin Cariboom is pure freshness: a translucent red that already promises lightness. The first hit on the nose is fruity and vibrant: red cherry, tart raspberry, a touch of ripe citrus fruit reminiscent of pink grapefruit. Then come herbal notes, a wink of wild thyme, and a spicy tip - cinnamon, clove, something earthy. The palate is fluid and sparkling, almost electric. A lithe body, very drinkable, with barely perceptible tannins and a lively acidity that pushes each sip towards the next. At the centre of the palate, a juicy freshness envelops the notes of red and citrus fruit, while a slightly saline nuance emerges on the finish, like an echo of quartz soil. The sensation is that of a joyful, free-flowing wine that does not seek to please everyone, but seduces with its authenticity and nerve. It is a wine for those who love the living, the mutant, the untamed. In short, Cariboom is not just a natural wine: it is a vibrant experience to be drunk with pleasure and remembered with curiosity.
