Antidote

At a Glance

Why We Love It

We love Antidote because it is the morning-after bottle and the Monday-night bottle at the same time: refreshing, botanical and genuinely delicious.

Description

Antidote is Romain des Grottes' non-alcoholic sparkling elixir, made from Gamay juice blended with fruit and botanicals such as apple, lemon, ginger and plants from the vineyard. It is crisp, fruity, gently spicy and refreshing, with bubbles that lift the palate and make it feel celebratory without alcohol.

About the Producer

Romain des Grottes is one of the true originals of the natural wine world. Based in the rolling hills of Beaujolais near Saint-Étienne-des-Oullières, he produces vibrant, living wines that challenge conventions while remaining irresistibly drinkable. His wines are bubbly, slim, joyful and radically original, made from Gamay and unusual hybrids. Beyond wine, Romain also grows cereals, makes beer and non-alcoholic creations, and famously brings a piano on wheels into the vineyards during harvest and the Bojalien festival.
