Semi-dry, Sweet and Spirited
With their own sugar content, sweet wines and vins liquoreux are becoming increasingly popular. Although production has now spread to wines from all over the world, France is still the largest producer with multiple grape varieties located in several regions of France.So, if the reference in this field is Jurançon, you can also find equally recognised AOCs such as Loupiac, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont and Sauternes. These same wines are also available in the vineyards of Bergerac, the Loire Valley, but also in Alsace, Anjou and Touraine. You can, for example, taste a Gewurztraminer AOC or a Pinot Gris. Foreign sweet wines are also available on the website www.lespasssionnesduvin.com, offering wines that are pleasant on the palate and a little different from the regional wines, while offering beautiful colours and flavours. We have taken care to offer you a selection of quality wines to suit every budget, whether you choose French wines from small producers whose quality we guarantee, or choose perfectly rated grands crus. In addition to sweet wines, we also offer more than 3,000 references among white, red or rosé wines , champagnes , sparkling wines and spirits, applying the same selection criteria.
Le vignoble
Albert Boxler
"Vingt millésimes après son arrivée, Jean Boxler a lentement fait évoluer les réglages pour aujourd'hui vinifier à égalité avec l'élite de l'Alsace. Les vignes sont splendidement situées, aussi bien sur le Sommerberg ou sur le Brand, deux terroirs en riesling. La viticulture est exigeante et soignée, et les élevages adaptés aux vins et aux millésimes. Ici, aucune fausse note, quel que soit le cépage." 5*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
Albert Mann
"La famille Barthelmé est l'une des figures de proue des grands vins d'Alsace. Leurs rieslings font référence, en Schlossberg comme en Furstentum, les Gewurztraminers sont souvent remarquables et les Pinots Noirs sont parmi les plus accomplis de la région, rivalisant régulièrement avec les meilleurs spécialistes bourguignons de la catégorie." 4*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
André and Michel Quénard
Guillaume Quénard is now the leader of the estate. He is beginning to make his mark with more straightforward, fine wines of superb balance.

Antoine Arena
"De tous les vignerons corses, Antoine Arena est sans doute celui qui a eu la plus grande volonté de faire connaître ses vins au-delà de l'île. Il a repris le domaine familial en 1975, avec l'aide de sa femme Marie, et l'a hissé parmi les meilleurs de Corse, travaillant dans une approche naturelle, sans produits de synthèse et avec l'apport de fumier naturel, aujourd'hui certifié en agriculture biologique.

Jurançon with a dizzying complexity!
Carole Bouquet
Pantelleria, a small Italian island between Sicily and Tunisia, with its dark, steep, wind-whipped slopes, is where Carole Bouquet has taken up the challenge of resurrecting an anthological wine, Passito.
Château d'Yquem
"Yquem jouit d'un statut unique qui le place pratiquement hors de tout jugement critique. La centaine d'hectares exploités se répartissent entre sémillion et sauvignon, sur des croupes graveleuses avec un sous-sol plus argileux.

Domaine des Bernardins
The reputation of Muscat à petits grains des Bernardins grows vintage after vintage. With its exceptional ageing capacity, the Muscats de Beaume de Venise des Bernardins is a nectar capable of rivalling the greatest natural sweet wines, and is surprisingly greedy when young.
Dominique Auroy
It is on the atoll of Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago, in the heart of the South Pacific, that Dominique Auroy's precious Vin de Tahiti is produced. White and rosé Tahitian wines, with a unique identity, freshness and remarkable aromas reminiscent of the local coral... An ultra original gift!

Viré Clessé wines, unique because of their very high balance, of great class, capable of sublimating many dishes. Full-bodied, rich wines with great ageing potential.
The Rectory

Based in Banyuls, between the sea and the mountains, the two brothers produce Banyuls and Collioure wines of very high quality, without doubt the best in the region, always marked by a striking balance
La Soumade
"André Roméro est la figure de l'appellation Rasteau. Aidé désormais de son fils Frédéric et des conseils de Stéphane Derenoncourt, il produit des vins colorés et complexes, avec des corps denses.
La Taille aux Loups
"Le millésime 2019 est sans doute le meilleur de la carrière de Jacky Blot. Le domaine compte 25 hectares de chenin au bord de la Loire et du Cher, dont cinq hectares à Vouvray.
Labet
"Julien Labet, with the help of his brother and sister, has taken over his father Alain's vineyards, which are now grouped together under a single entity: Domaine Labet. (...) Numerous micro-parcels (between 15 and 80 ares, often from old vines) are vinified by Julien, both in white (all ouillés) and in red, the latter being perhaps the most exceptional to be born today in the region. Sulphur levels are very low but the balance is impossible to fault in the wines. The estate is now one of the spearheads of the Jura revival." RVF Guide 2018
The Fagayra Lands
"Stéphane et Marjorie Gallet, les propriétaires surdoués du Roc des Anges, explorent ici avec passion le monde des vins doux naturels. Le résultat est plus convaincant et compte parmi les plus belles expressions du terroir de Maury." 3*/5 Bettane+Desseauve 2022
Marcel Deiss
The Marcel Deiss estate is undoubtedly one of the most exciting estates. Located in Bergheim in the heart of the most beautiful Alsatian terroirs, the family estate now has 27 hectares of vines on 220 separate plots where three Grand Crus and nine Premier Crus are produced each year.

Montus - Bouscassé
Château Montus and Château Bouscassé are the two masterpieces of Alain Brumont, the pioneer of Madiran, who was the first, as early as 1980, to detect the value of these fabulous terroirs and to compose, vintage after vintage, what can be done best in this sector, by revealing the quintessence of these very great terroirs. Great wines for ageing, capable of competing without difficulty with the greatest Bordeaux wines...

U Stiliccionu
"After making wine in Cahors, New Zealand and Tokaj, Sébastien Poly took over this small family estate in 2006. He benefits from a heritage of old vines planted in the 1960s in the granite and clay valley of Taravo, not far from the Comte Abbatucci and Vaccelli estates. He vinifies without yeast, with very little or no sulphite. His wines retain a great aromatic frankness. Certified organic since 2009, he is currently converting to biodynamics, and offers wines of a greediness and digestibility rare in Corsica. Not to be missed." RVF Guide 2018
