Pinot Pinot Pinot! The best, the Noir.
Its glowing color swirls on the crystalline walls of your wine glass, as Fafnir's flames set the lands of Nidavellir ablaze. The food and wine pairings are infinite, which the quantities produced of this cuvée are not, so we recommend the exceptional: a dragon-fire BBQ, a stellar tortilla, or a Viking cheese soup accompanied by young wild shoots and roasted turnip crisps served with butter.
ruby red, intense and deep, with luminous highlights
a limestone hand in a velvet glove. Concentrated, powerful and elegant at the same time. Ripe, fine, biting tannins. The finish is enveloping, lively and soaring towards the stars.
racy, complex, with hints of black fruit, black pepper, cedar...
feathered game roasted pink, its dark flesh and full-bodied juices leaning on the limestone hand of the wine, with pan-fried ceps and a turn of Sarawak black pepper, to reveal the cedar and the slender finish of the wine. In the veggie version, the ceps take the lead role, roasted whole in butter and thyme, over a creamy polenta.
Climate: Scorching heat, with record temperatures and persistent drought. The vines showed remarkable resilience despite extreme conditions.
Yield: Generally good, except in regions hit hard by drought like Languedoc and Roussillon.
General Profile: Rich, sun-kissed wines, ripe and concentrated.
Vineyards on a plateau at an altitude of 300 metres, with soils composed of chalky clay and rounded pebbles.
Hand-picked, with grapes sorted on the vine. Maceration in whole bunches for five days, then matured in French oak barrels (Rousseau) for 16 months. Spontaneous fermentation (indigenous yeasts), vinification without added sulphites, bottling without filtration, clarification or addition of sulphites. The ingredients used are simple: healthy grapes.
This wine was crafted by Christophe Kaczmarek, as part of a secret collaboration full of (non-carnal) love and Dionysian audacity. Henri Jayer’s AI was not involved in the natural production process of this cosmic wine.
From the vineyard to the cellar, everything is done with respect, with the aim of regenerating the soil, encouraging biodiversity and respecting the people who are part of it.
Jordi, wine merchant at Le Sourire au Pied de l’Échelle, Paris 11
“From the very beginning, I was convinced by Caaaaaaat. First of all, the way Christophe shouts the name, again and again, you immediately sense there is an idea behind it. I was never worried that, in the end, the wines would be offbeat and built on strong convictions. And when I first tasted the Caaaaaaat wines, it was obvious. Free wines, original, yet approachable, with unbeatable price-to-pleasure ratios. From day one, the wines were an instant success at Le Sourire. The label catches attention, and then we can tell the story of the wine and the people behind it. Many times, customers bought a bottle saying ‘it’s for the joke’ or ‘my friend loves cats’. Then, not long after, they came back for more, simply because they loved the wine. In the end, there is no better compliment: when it’s good, you come back for it.”
Olivier Criou, Director at Miam Miam, Lithuania
“Caaaaaaat is a collection of Vin Méthode Nature wines that reflects a wide range of regions and grape varieties. Each cuvée is crafted with precision, in outstanding estates, by talented artisans. Caaaaaaat brings them together and embodies an approach that delights my customers as much as it delights me.”
Rachel Gay, France's Best Young Wine Merchant
“I remember the first time a Caaaaaaat landed in my glass. I said, word for word, ‘Whoaaaaa, I’m going to drink gallons of this stuff! Show me the label! Oh my gosh!’
It was Atomic Caaaaaaat, and I fell in love with the project. Then I met the creator, and it was love at first sight all over again.
Having a Caaaaaaat in your glass guarantees a good time, a great drink, and the chance to hunt for Easter eggs all over the label,all thoughtfully designed and crafted by a fantastic person who deserves to be in the spotlight!
Drink Caaaaaaat!”
