The vineyard is located at the top of the slope facing the iconic Corton hill that stands opposite with its famous grand cru. The clay-limestone soils and the vines, averaging forty years old, are cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic farming. The east-northeast exposure of the vineyard means a slightly cooler mid-climate and a later...
Almost all of the estate's red vineyards are located around the cellar in the famous Amboise and for "Ad Libitum" the three typical varieties are picked in succession, first Gamay, then Côt and finally Cabernet Franc from the estate's biodynamic vineyards. The grapes are vinified separately with short macerations and after pressing (before fermentation is...
Philippe Desbos' approach is based on his respect for tradition, not because of a tendency but bades on the his belief that it makes better wines. Far from all viticultural and technological innovations, he produces his Saint-Joseph from the "fillet" of the great wine-growing zone, following techniques used by his ancestors. He plows the vineyard with the...
Nerello Mascalese gives excellent rosés and Etna Rosato from younger vines in different parts of the zone, is a rosé that is imprinted in memory. A real firework of intensity and minerality, it is nothing like the candied fruit and sweetness that comes to mind when it comes to rosé wines. Serious, with pulsating energy and tensions, salty minerality and...
Vanessa produces this beautiful red blend from the famous slopes of Chaume. The Cabernet gives extra depth and power to the exquisite fruit and freshness of the Cabernet Franc. Black and red fruit and a fine line of herbaceousness that is so characteristic of the Loire. Extremely enjoyable, expressive from the first moment you taste it which is its charm....
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...
Old Roots comes from a single-vineyard Xinomavro vineyard in Goumenissa and due to its single-vineyard character, it cannot bear the appellation of origin on the label since legislation requires at least 20% Negoska in the blend. Biodynamic farming as well as the age of the vineyards helps to harvest Xinomavro earlier and at better maturity levels. The...
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...
A fifty-year-old vineyard that shines thanks to the efforts of Panagiotis and his ancestors to help it live effectively and without chemical interference. It is nature itself that is radiant and seeing it makes you realize the importance of standing a step back, observing carefully and listening to the needs of nature. She in turn reciprocates with a wine...
