The company "Era Nova" brought you the Moon by incorporating it into a prestigious sparkling wine .

Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut , both from the Jura area were challenged to bottle the Moon and Mars. 

This was achieved thanks to the work of Dr. Jean Alix Barrat, professor of geochemistry at the University of Western Brittany, specialist of planetary meteorites, coordinator of the consortium "Theodore Monot" led to the publication of the Martian and Lunar meteorites discovered by Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut. 

Professor Barrat has developed especially for the event a complex and confidential process to solubilize Lunar and Martian basalts from meteorites in order to incorporate them in a wine and some cigars. 

Nobody has ever met the material, scientific contacts, the knowledge and the means to realize a concept as bold. It takes a lot of discipline and effort to complete a project that at first may seems totally crazy.

  This is a World first, a unique creation in the history of wine, a scientific achievement.

We wanted to offer an exceptional product that intrigues and seduces while marking out the spirits with a concept and design innovative and futuristic.

  Our primary mission was "to discover the inaccessible taste of another world, offering the subtle marriage of Earth and another  planet."

What's more extraordinary in these times a little gloomy, to move our customers closer to the stars.

Through this ambitious project, we truly captured you the Moon ... !  

Era Nova with feet firmly on the ground, has analyzed these wines by two independent laboratories to obtain the certificate of purity, proving the safety and quality of the
product.

August 09, 2012, appointment is made by the four in the cellars of the “Domaine de la Pinte” close to the city of Arbois to incorporate the extraterrestrial solutions in Jeroboams (3 liters). 

  A series of 60 Jeroboams "Essence de Lune" and 60 Jeroboams "Extract from Mars" are bottled front the bailiff of Arbois Mr. Brun.

Era Nova decided to complete its range by offering a limited edition of 77 Lunar cigars and 77 Martian cigars.

August 14, 2012, Bruno, Carine, Jacky and Roger go to "Edito" one of the last two French manufacturers of tobacco where cigars are still hand-rolled by expert Dominican torcedor Jose Reyes and the owner Valery De Guisa. 

"It was a real willingness on our part to choose a quality tobacco, rolled in the traditional way. We were able to directly impregnate at heart the tobacco leaves of each cigar  with our extraterrestrial liqueur. The whole process was carried front of Maître Pertuisot, bailiff in Macon. "

Our range of cigar collection "Phoenix" and "Apollo" are dressed by a meteorite ring covered with platinum, and presented in a box specially created to keep cigars in extreme environments. Passport explanatory and certifications will also be provided with each cigar numbered by impossible to falsify holograms.

Frequently Asked Questions:  

how do we know that these meteorites come from the Moon / Mars?

In the same way that the DNA of each human its own, the chemical signature of the composition of rocks from a planet is unique. Lunar rocks reported to Earth by the Apollo missions and the different rovers analyzing the Martian surface have enabled scientists to discover that some meteorites families come from the Moon and Mars

Is it dangerous to consume Lunar and Martian meteorites?

Lunar and Martian rocks are volcanic rocks similar to Earth's basalts . The sources of many mineral waters are from basaltic 

rocks, their high concentration of minerals is particularly sought after for their benefit.

Similarly, our wine is rich in volcanic minerals with the only difference that these elements come from the Moon and Mars.   

World first !

Who are Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut:  

Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut are confirmed meteorite researchers , they have to their credit the discovery, among other things, of nine Martian meteorites (published on the website of the NASA http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/ snc / )  their findings helped the scientific community to refine the knowledge of the geology of Mars and the Moon. Hundreds of scientific papers have been since written on their meteorites.
