Lightness and freshness of character, like biting the crispiest cherry that ever was. Right along aromas of lavender with the freshness of fennel and freshly ground green pepper. It goes for pleasure and finesse rather than complexity and muscle. But this is there adding of this specific terroir on the variety. And the Baudrys as obedient servants try to...
From the steep slopes of the Pfersigberg and the fossil-rich limestone soils, the Riesling manages to combine amazing levels of ripeness and juicy character, with intense minerality and refreshing acidity. Citrus aromas, juicy white-fleshed fruit, honey and smoky mineral character lead to a rich, honeyed mouthfeel, with spicy notes and a persistent...
Dense aromas of black and dried fruit, truffle, liquorice, anise, snuff and leather on a nose that is austere but complex. On the palate the fierce attack of tannins that the nose's concentration prepares you for never comes. The wine is robust, how else could a Serralunga be, but at the same time refined and beautifully balanced. Dark fruit, earthy notes...

This particular vineyard is located a few kilometres away from the estate surrounding the winery, towards Lake Garda and the vineyards are 15 to 40 years old on limestone soils. The label is painted by the daughter of Carlo and Alessandra. Fermentation is spontaneous, as in all the winery's wines, and takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks...
Youthful in aromas and character, it is bursting with cherry, plum and raspberry fruit while oak ageing holds it up nicely. On the palate the wine is full of energy with the lively acidity and fine tannins weaving a net around the crunchy fruit. Earthy aromas, smoke, botanical notes and minerality on the palate frame the fruit, while the finish is...
The first of Serge Ferigoule's two red cuvees has the peculiarity that its name changes from year to year. Each year the wine bears the name of one of the producer's three daughters. It is a blend of mainly Grenache with secondary blends of Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre and Cinsault, all classic grapes of the region. Farming is organic and biodynamically...
This particular Haute Densité, high density planting piece, is a small part of the 1er Cru vineyard "Derriere Chez Edouard" at its steepest and steepest point. So steep and densely planted that everything is done by hand. Scary when you consider the work required, as it's not just planting densities but Olivier applies all his vine-related "craziness"...
