A cuvée born from dialogue, instinct, and artistic conviction. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grown on limestone hillside soils, 100 Phrases pour Éventails 2023 is the result of a rare collaboration between Hervé Bizeul and Jean-Yves Bizot. Whole-cluster fermented, with no added sulfur and aged in carefully selected barrels, it’s a wine of quiet tension and clarity.

Inspired by Zen philosophy and Paul Claudel’s poetic calligrams, this Pinot is an exercise in restraint and presence — a wine that evolves gently in the glass, never rushed. Labeled by Gianfranco Pontillo, this limited edition is as much a visual meditation as it is a vinous one.
Born from a deeply personal journey, 100 Phrases pour Éventails 2023 is Hervé Bizeul’s most introspective and poetic cuvée to date. Inspired by his exchanges with Jean-Yves Bizot and the minimalist elegance of Japanese Zen, this Pinot Noir is an exercise in restraint, silence, and trust in nature. Whole-cluster fermentation, no added sulfur, and aging in carefully selected Rousseau barrels reveal a wine of clarity, tension, and depth. Named after Paul Claudel’s meditative calligram poems written in Japan, the cuvée echoes the spirit of non-action — “ne rien faire” — where the winemaker becomes more of a guide than a technician. This is Pinot as meditation: pure, vibrant, and unforced. A wine that unfolds slowly in the glass, rewarding patience with fine texture, aromatic lift, and quiet intensity. A limited edition with a label designed by Gianfranco Pontillo, this bottle is both a vinous and visual tribute to the fleeting beauty of things — like a fan held in the hand of a passing breeze.
