Black cherry aromas, licorice and violet intertwined with finesse, paint a sensation of freshness and energy on a canvas of refined silky beautifully structured tannins. And don’t forget to add to that mix the superb stony minerality associated to the Morgon terroir. It is hard to resist the bright fruit of this wonderful Beaujolais at its youth but give...
The region is considered the "heart" of France's pet-nat wines, the oldest method of sparkling wine production in the world. Damien and Coralie "fell in love" with this style and have been producing this stunning rosé sparkler, with only the one fermentation, for over a decade. The pet-nat trend is significant, a return to the roots often associated with...
The grapes of the different varieties are harvested and vinified together for as long as it takes, having first ripened to perfection with the help of the winery's most meticulous attention to cultivation. With no additions or interventions during vinification, Complantation is the ultimate expression of the Alsace terroir. Calm, complete and ripe on the...
The wine is vinified in a combination of large foudres and oak barrels and matured for about 12 months without stirring the lees. No other intervention is made in the wine and sulphites are at very low levels. Delicate and intense at the same time in its aromatic intensity, it unfolds aromas of lemon curd, peach, quince and fresh pineapple, along with...
Winemaking of La Digoine follows the same philosophy as La Fortune with about 2/3 use of whole bunches in the oak winemakers. The maceration time is no more than two weeks and the wine will be aged in barrels aged 2 to 5 years. The aromas are delicate and elegant, the fruit, although a little shy at first, is distinguished by its depth and power. The...
Clearly Corton in style, tight, robust, and powerful, but truly a lovable wine from Anne Morey. The vineyard here is cultivated according to the principles of integrated management and this is a wine that is more robust than the Volnay or Pommard wines from this great producer. Nevertheless, as with all great Burgundies, elegance is not lacking, offering...
The best vineyards of the small commune of Volnay can have much in common with the stunning aromatic elegance of a Chambolle Musigny from the Cote de Nuits. And at the Santenots level this is matched with structure and depth of fruit that you only find in the top Burgundies and the best vineyards. The vinification is completely traditional with destemming...
Piercing tensions with beautiful oxidative hints supported by citrus peels and candied lemon. Give it time to open up and it's a party of aromas with saffron and curry, tobacco leaf, nuts like walnut and toasted almond, combined with earthy truffle notes. Mouth umami-driven on the full, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense nut flavors and...
The historic "house" has the peculiarity and uniqueness of having vineyards not only around Vertus (the village where they are based) but in most of the leading villages of the Cote de Blanc including Cramant and Avize. For the sensational Vieille Vigne du Levant the grapes, after gentle pressing and clarification of the juice, are transferred to...
