Natural Trailblazers (English edition) by Camilla Gjerde

Pionniers de la Nature is a must-read work in English, written by Camilla Gjerde, renowned author of the bestselling book Nous ne voulons pas de merde dans notre vin. This new publication highlights thirteen exceptional visionaries from the world of natural wine, which are transforming viticulture into a true ecological lever, aiming for a significant reduction in their carbon footprint.

Through captivating stories accompanied by the magnificent photographs of Cecilia Magnusson, meet inspiring and committed individuals. Discover, in particular, the story of bold winemakers who have chosen to completely abandon tractors to never disrupt their soil, thus preserving the biodiversity of their vineyards.

Also explore the adventure of a winemaker based in the heart of a metropolis, who sells her bottles exclusively at the local level, delivers her wines by bicycle, and actively encourages the reuse of bottles. This account demonstrates how it is possible to combine urban wine production with a sustainable approach.

Finally, follow the journey of a visionary importer who exclusively favors sail-powered maritime transport to deliver his bottles of natural wine. This bold choice perfectly symbolizes the growing commitment of the wine sector towards a circular and decarbonized economy.

Pionniers de la Nature is much more than just a book about wine: it's an invitation to think differently about the methods of production, transportation, and marketing of natural wines. Accessible to everyone, whether you are a knowledgeable enthusiast, a wine professional, a sommelier, or simply passionate about ecology, this work is a valuable source of inspiration for adopting more environmentally friendly practices.
