Les Vignes de Chavignol comes from vines that are approximately 60 years old, grown in clay-limestone soils with Kimmeridgian marl, which lend the wine structure and minerality. The harvest is done by hand, and vinification takes place with whole clusters and indigenous yeasts, enhancing the complexity and authentic expression of the terroir. Aging lasts...
The care and the philosophy in the winery does not change, since for the classic Mavrodaphne, which does not carry the organic certification, Slavos chooses gentle natural vinification of the grapes. The wine will mature for twelve months in 500lt barrels, exuding a pleasant herbal sensation, with fresher, red fruit than the organic Mavrodaphne and almost...
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...
To the east of the famous D974, the vineyard is located on sandy soils with several stones and the old vines have extremely complex genetic material from mass selection which seems to be able to produce fruit with intense aromas. The tannins have excellent structure, as fine as cigarette paper, but "layered" on multiple levels that make it seem more...
"Les Champs des Vosger" is one of the wonderful Fixin, a designation of origin that has a much better terroir than its "low-key" presence in Burgundy suggests. Apparently this is a "key" for the energetic Galeyrand who with his wines gives a new dimension to such -less prominent- regions or vineyards in Burgundy. For Champs des Vosger he uses a 15-20%...
Pleasant, refreshing, with ideal ripeness and breadth in the mouth, free of any harshness. An airy, clear wine from Agiorgitiko that expresses the joy of life, without stylized exuberant barrels, acquired vanillas and excessive extractions on the nose and palate. The red fruit excels, crystal clear, expressive along with some smoke, fresh acidity and...
Similar to all the wines made by the pioneering Marcel Lapierre and nowadays his family, the grapes for Raisins Gaulois comes from organic vineyards and are whole bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts. We are talking about young vines here mostly coming from the Morgon appellation but also from the wider area of Beaujolais and by labelling itself as Vin...
The harvest for the three varieties is simultaneous with Mavrodaphne at high maturity but Araklino and Korfiatiko at an earlier stage, providing the blend with serious vitality and excellent acidity. A wonderfully balanced wine with moderate volume and elegant tannins with texture that gives a sense of fullness in the mouth without a trace of astringency....
Leave the Amarone "La Stropa" in your cellar for a more special moment and enjoy Monte Dall' Ora's Ripasso "Sausto" when you want to get small doses of the richness and power of an Amarone. Cherries infused with alcohol, plum and raisins along with notes of mint and floral notes. Ripe yet fresh on the palate with very good tensions and robust, elegant...
Another winemaking process crafted with the finesse and elegance imparted by whole-cluster fermentation, which enhances the wine’s signature spicy fruit and floral character. The wine undergoes a total maceration of 40 days and is pressed using an old vertical press, just as it was traditionally done in the past. Malolactic fermentation takes place...
This wine draws on the tradition of Piemonte but equally of Burgundy. On the sandy soils of Lessona, Nebbiolo acquires a bouquet of aromas like rose, wild cherry and wild grapefruit with notes of tobacco, dried herbs and lively mineral dimension. On the palate its tannins are firm but velvety; the acidity is delicious same as the earthy dimension of the...
