Natural wine, Organic wine, Biodynamics, what are the differences?

In the 1950s, Jules Chauvet, the father of natural Beaujolais wines, said natural wine is a living wine, is not filtered or fined and without added sulphur.

Currently, a fashionable phenomenon or a change in our way of consuming?

France is one of the pioneers in terms of wine regulations, also in the production of organic and natural wine.

Natural wine today has consistency issues because it lacks a wine stabilizer like sulfur, as well as availability issues.

On the other hand, natural wine is produced in small quantities by independent producers, organic grapes harvested by hand, without added sugar.

added and without foreign yeast, and without acidity correction.

The more the years pass and the wine is better because the soil is more and more healthy.

On the other hand, many organic wines, although made from organically grown grapes, are technologically manipulated after harvest in the cellars.

In biodynamics, ethics and philosophy take precedence over the financial side, ensuring the health of the soil and the plants, then there is an overall qualitative vision of nature.

Nowadays the prices of natural wines are excessive and we cannot be sure of the aging capacity of these wines.

This is why a natural wine is not the same as a wine from organic or biodynamic agriculture. Winemaking processes are not yet regulated for certain types of wine, which raises many questions for the future.
