The entire "Les Fossiles" range comes from fossil-rich soils in the Reuilly region and is vinified exclusively with indigenous yeasts. The small appellation of origin, just off the banks of the Loire River, can offer just as pleasing and enjoyable Pinot Noir as the neighbouring Sancerre. "Les Fossiles" has a very nice cherry expression on the nose and...
The just four acres of vineyards, about forty-five years old, which are biodynamically cultivated and ploughed with the horse, give an appealing Pinot Noir with exceptional purity in its expression. Elegant in style, a source of fruit expression reminiscent of ripe strawberry and strawberry, along with floral and mineral notes. Although dense on the...
On the lower part of the slope, on the border with the vineyards of Pernand-Vergelesses, Aux-Fournaux sits on deep soils with clay and limestone, which becomes more pronounced towards the highest point of the vineyard. The combination of this soil with vines that are more than 60 years old gives a fine Pinot Noir, which balances between fresh fruit...
Such a nose defines the Old World; it recalls some great aged Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from Emidio Pepe, with a slightly aggressive initial impression that ultimately transforms into something soft. Like a wild hand that, over time, has learned to caress. Tremendous energy and a complex character, where primary and especially tertiary aromas such as...
The wine is vinified with whole bunches, typically around 80% depending on the vintage. Whole bunch fermentation gives the wine remarkable depth of texture while preserving its elegance and ethereal style. It is defined by vibrant acidity and the ability to captivate Pinot Noir lovers with its refined character—a hallmark of great Burgundy wines. Give it...
Along with Imaginador from the Cinsault variety, Vinista is the second of Pedro Parra's village wines (following Burgundy standards), which means that the fruit comes from different vineyards. And even though Pedro was a super-fan of the Cinsault variety for many years, Pais gradually managed to attract his interest much more. It is perhaps this...
To make life easier for those who sell his wines, Pedro Parra follows the Burgundy model because everyone can understand it. So he categorizes his wines hierarchically as village, premier cru, and grand cru. Imaginador is one of the two village wines he produces. (The other is Vinista). His inspiration for these wines was Italy and a simple Langhe he...
Canavar Bağları's Ampelo is a natural wine made from 100% Karasakız grapes, sourced from 36-year-old vineyards in the Ida Mountains of the Çanakkale region, at an altitude of 250–310 m. The soils are sandy-loamy, facing north to southeast, and yields are extremely low. Cultivation is completely gentle and sustainable, without mechanical means; the soil is...
The Vajra family avoid a more fancy or modern version of the variety that would mean new barrique in plenty, leaving their classic Barbera to rest solely on stainless steel tanks. And even though it remains a wine with toned alcohol, strength and intensity, the wonderful fruit of the variety shines on through clearly and reminds of wild cherries and...
A Barolo with lovely glossy fruit, delicate floral notes reminiscent of rose blossoms and violets and a subtle minerality. The palate is well-rounded, with beautifully digested barrel and a freshness that pleasantly surprises. The fine, almost silky, tannins have excellent depth and length at the same time, leading to a persistent finish with a spicy,...
