Due to the cool climate of the vineyard, Galeyrand aims for the latest possible harvest in order to achieve greater phenolic ripeness while maintaining the intensity of the acidity. The vineyard is cultivated organically (uncertified), and no sulfites are added during vinification. The grapes are pressed in a vertical wooden press, and fermentation takes...
The exceptional southern exposure vineyard in the cru village of La Haye-Fouassiere is biodynamically farmed and has been distinguished for centuries for the top quality of the wines it produces. Le Fief du Breil is slowly fermented with indigenous yeasts and then left for thirty months on the lees in Landron's large underground concrete tanks. The result...
Delicate, fragile, difficult to cultivate since if it becomes "stubborn" it can get stuck at 9% potential alcoholic strength and is difficult to go higher. Not many leaves you see and it sometimes has a hard time feeding the fruit. So it is delicate and elegant as a wine, has a beautiful aromatic character with pear, apple, lemon and herbal and floral...
Direct pressing in pneumatic presses, gentle browning of the juice and fermentation exclusively with indigenous yeasts and light sulphurization before bottling only, for the excellent grape which comes from organic farming with some biodynamic practices. The wine will be fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels and will "rest" for...
Next to Marcel Deiss's sensational grand cru in which the message of the place goes beyond the winemaker and the year, in a take-off of the concept of terroir, a "humble" village like Alsace Zellenberg is not only humble. The village and its characteristics offer a flavor context, a signature, which the Deiss winery graciously comes to endorse, and which...
A "hegemonic" in character grand cru that will stand without any complexity against a great Montrachet of Burgundy. Field blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Meunier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Beyrot with a high planting density, higher than all the other Deiss vineyards. The cultivation is certified organic and biodynamic and the vinification is done by whole...
Dragon Langhe Bianco is much more exciting than one would expect from the usual white wine vinified in steel tank. Wonderfully floral in aromas, like it has come for a stroll in a spring field with refreshing notes of citrus fruits, pear, kiwi and a hint of petrol and minerality like flint. On the palate it has richness and the oily character associated...
High acidity is just one of the characteristics of the Aligote variety. Next to it, in the best wines, there is a surprising salty minerality and a high-voltage energy that, in the case of Pierre Morey and with the help of biodynamics, is "dressed" with complex and beautifully ripened fruit. The wine is deliberately vinified and remains mainly in tanks,...
A classic expression of Chardonnay from biodynamic vineyards fermented and matured in 100% barrel, but not new, for 22 months. Fermentation, as in all Pierre Morey wines, is spontaneous and sulfites are minimal, while malolactic conversion was done slowly adding more volume and thickness to the vibrant fruit and acidity on the palate. All processes are...
The characteristically stony, limestone-filled soils of Les Tessons, combined with the biodynamic cultivation of Pierre Morey's privately owned vineyard, clearly illustrate the gifts of this terroir in wine. More nerve and stony minerality than fruit, in a wine that is "vertical" rather than "broad" as one would expect from a Meursault on the palate. And...
