The idea was conceived by a group of French winemakers called Vini Be Good, who work together to distribute their wines across France. The wines are vinified by various members of the Vini Be Good network using their own grapes or grapes purchased from friends and neighbors in the Loire. They are proud to present these wines made by their friends and family, as several of the cuvées are vinified by Gérard Vallée, brother of Mathieu Vallée from Château Yvonne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels for Les Athlètes du Vin are drawings by French artist, illustrator, and cartoonist Michel Tolmer, who has been the unofficial lead artist of the French natural wine movement since the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Athlètes du Vin","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51971672703293,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Les-Athletes-du-Vin-Sauvignon-Blanc-2024.jpg?v=1783988327","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/les-athletes-du-vin-sauvignon-blanc-2024","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
