2022 Conservatoire des Vignes Anciennes Art Naïf
Description
WINEMAKER: Karine & Cyril Alonso
REGION: Beaujolais, FR
VARIETY: Giboudot Chardonnay, Villard Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
There are literally more than 140 varieties of grapes in this emblematic cuvee from Karine and Cyril Alonso’s ground breaking Beaujolais domaine The Conservatoire des Vignes Anciennes. This tiny ampelographic conservatory, high in the hills near Marchampt, grows on grey and pink granite and the wines are brutally precise, pure and correct. We’d go so far as to say this is one of the most fascinating farms and wineries in France. The farming is only a few steps away from permaculture and the property is surrounded by 400 hectares of forest. Having made wine under their negoce label ‘PUR’ for many years, Karine and Cyril pruchased this property in 2016 and bottled their first wines from the 2019 vintage. Across the board they are exceptionally well made.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
