Corton whites cannot carry the name of the specific vineyards on the label, as is the case with the red grand cru wines of the hill next to the word Corton. This wine comes from three different parts of the hill within the Corton Les Bressandes, Corton Chaumes and Corton Renardes vineyards. The wine was spontaneously fermented in barriques, demi-muids and...
Wine is meant to be drunk, not just tasted. And Sylvain Pataille's stunning Aligote range starts with a blend from his diverse vineyards that “overflows” with elegance, freshness and pulsating tensions. Without a doubt, Sylvain Pataille's four single vineyard versions celebrate the sensitivity that Burgundy's forgotten third grape shows to changes in...
Tournebride, like all Gaudry wines, is made from observation and emotion. Tournebride has no classic winemaking recipe and the wine itself each year shows the producer what to do. It is a blend of different regions of the appellation of origin on different soils, each adding multiple layers to the wine. Precision of expression and tensions, with fruit and...
Elegant and introverted aromatically, it has elements of the character of Muscatella, which anyway constitutes 70% of the blend. Ripe fruit, bergamot and ripe lemon, with citrus blossom and a vegetal quality reminiscent of the green part of the bud before it opens. Wet earth and earthiness intensify the layering of the aromas. The palate is more spicy...
With blanc de noir vinification the image of red Xinomavro changes completely, producing a different style of wine. After the grapes are destemmed, a very gentle crushing of the grapes follows, with only 30% of free-flowing juice being quickly removed to avoid picking up pigments or other phenolic elements of the grapes. Fermentation is slow, spontaneous...

The 18-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils produce grapes with high natural acidity and a clean mineral identity.

At a time when the house was betting on the bigger, richer wines in terms of barrel and maturity, Gauby worked against the grain. In a hot region where over-ripeness can often be achieved in a flash he found the trick in biodynamic farming and shading the vineyards. Large trees spread their shade through the vines, protecting the old cups from the hot...
The vineyard of Santameriana was first planted in 2007 after the research and efforts of Panagiotis Dimitropoulos to revive the variety that belongs to the Asproud family of the Peloponnese.
