Traditional Burgundian cellar approach, with partial fermentation of whole bunches in oak fermenters for 14 days. This is followed by maturation in barrels from 1 to 5 years old, for a total of 12 months. Concentrated on the nose, which offers complex notes of red cherries, plum and game, while the palate is powerful and quite full-bodied but with...
The oldest vines are planted on clay-limestone soils planted in 1956. The vines are grown using organic farming and biodynamic methods and a small percentage of this wine's grapes will undergo whole bunch fermentation, enhancing the fruit and a spicy floral quality to the bouquet. The fermentation is spontaneous in old barrels with very gentle extractions...
Unforgettable like the steep terraces of the vineyards of the region from which the grapes come from above the winding river. The conditions are ideal for Mencia to deliver its fleshy delicious fruit and sense of freshness. Fermentation takes place with whole bunches at 100% and the wine is matured for a year in different neutral barrels of 500, 350 and...
Although not a single-vineyard wine like Camino Novo and Seoane, Rosende comes from a particular granite slope with a percentage of sand that is reminiscent of vineyards in the Northern Rhône and Cornas. The vineyards are between 28 and 60 years old, complex in varietal composition, but the majority are Mencia. The grapes are vinified in a large concrete...
Cuvee Lopy is produced from vines over seventy years old on the characteristic stony soils of the region, cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic farming. At the winery, vinification is done in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts and the wine is matured for twelve months in already used 450 lt barrels. It is bottled with minimal sulphites...
Roger Coulon’s Coteaux Champenois Vrigny Rouge is made exclusively from organically grown Meunier grapes in Vrigny, harvested by hand and rigorously sorted right in the vineyard. Vinification is carried out with whole bunches, using semi-carbonic maceration and foot treading, while fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts. This is followed by...
The Syrah vines, which are over 20 years old, yield low yields per acre and are cultivated using meticulous organic practices. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts, while maceration is particularly brief, contributing to the wine’s lighter, juicier, and more direct character. There is no barrel aging, preserving the purity of the fruit. The result...
The fruit for Les Bressandes comes from four small pieces of the famous vineyard with its combination of clay and limestone. The vines are grown biodynamically and the overall philosophy of the winery is entirely traditional, with little inclination to interfere even with sulphite levels. Vinification is 80% whole bunch, in concrete open tanks and the...
Old pre-phylloxera vines of Grenache and Carignan along with Syrah make up the great trio of varieties in the Muntada blend. The winemaking is old-fashioned with native yeasts, concrete tanks and maturation in old foudres for eighteen months. Muntada has excellent depth and intensity while managing to maintain its characteristic elegance. It is a “raw”...

Silky, with aromas of dried rose and violet, layered aromatic complexity with extra spice, red fruit and traces of leather. The year gave the wine a fine balance of alcohol and acidity with mild - for the variety - tannins. Combined with plenty of fruit on the palate, they help it to be enjoyable and expressive without requiring long cellar ageing. Its...
Thierry Valette acquired the historic Clos Puy Arnaud in 2000 and dedicated himself to producing wines based on the principles of biodynamic viticulture and minimal intervention in the winery. The 2019 Grand Vin is a pure, unpretentious expression of Bordeaux, without any unnecessary “makeup.” Although already approachable, it possesses the structure and...
