GIGONDAS Cuvée Des Blaches 2020
Field of ESPIERS
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The vineyard now covers 9,5 hectares including 3 to Gigondas, 4 en Cotes du Rhone et 2,5 en Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Sablet. The grape variety is largely dominated by the main 3 Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in struggle and receive no chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the soil and the environment, with yields particularly lower than 35 hl / ha.
Harvesting is manual for traditional winemaking and aging in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to produce robust, gourmet but also refined wines. Proof of the quality of its work, Lavinia boutiques offer its wines.
This wine consists of a single plot of vines in the commune of Gigondas.
The vine is aged 40 and composed of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. The harvest is manual and often the grapes picked are slightly overripe in order to obtain wines more full-bodied.
The vinification is done with a very high temperature (+ 34 ° c) in order to extract a maximum of aromas and color. The harvest is complete to allow a good homogeneity of the grape marc and long pumping over.
This wine is then aged in barrels for about 12 months, then bottled without sticking or filtration.

MEURSAULT 1ER CRU GOLD DROP DOMAIN HENRI DARNAT 2018
It is in 2000 that Mr. DARNAT took back with his wife the domain exploited by his family since the middle of the 19eme century.
And it is together that they are at the service of their land and their wines. As worthy successors of their ancestors, the vines are worked by hand, without chemical fertilizers or weedkillers.
Nothing like a good plowing that keeps the soil alive and healthy, and that's why the word terroir makes sense.
Each plot, according to its terroir, its climate, its exposure, gives the wines subtle and different aromas. And it is this diversity, preserved by dynamic soils, so typical of Burgundy, that makes Chardonnay and Pinot so tasty.
The vinification philosophy is that of common sense and patience. Common sense and patience is the courage to wait ...
Wait until the grapes are ripe before harvesting them, even if the weather is scary…?
Wait, let the wine be done, at its own pace, in its cask, do not rush it, let it live and grow to be at its peak on our tables ...
To wait is the experience ...
To wait, it is frequent and thorough tastings of casks ...
To wait is the joy of finally being able to taste them ...
The estate was born from the association of Pascal Brunier and his wife Christine Bonheur.
Pascal Prunier created the estate in 1983 in the town of Auxey-Duresses, it is now based in Meursault. This estate operates eight hectares of vines on the Côte de Beaune.These wines vinified and matured for the most part in barrels, the essence of his work is to favor the vine in order to offer us great chardonnay and pinot noir.

Robert SEROL had taken over the family farming of 1964 polyculture, with 2 ha of vines at a time when the vineyard was in distress. Persevering and passionate, he still chose viticulture. Accompanied by his wife Marie-Thérèse, they grew the estate and obtained the AOC Côte de Roannaise classification.
Stéphane SEROL took over the torch in 2000. Respectful of its soil and wine lover, he enlarges the estate, broadens the range of reds, plant Viognier and offers new rosés. After modernizing the farm, with Carine, his companion, they focus on the environment and the selection of terroirs.
Today the 27 hectares of vines in organic farming conversion, produce a range of reds and rosés which all reveal a different personality of the Gamay and give wines fresh and easy to drink. Since 2010, a white from Viognier comes in addition.

Producer Benjamin & David DUCLAUX
Created in 1928, our estate was mainly developed by our father Edmond Duclaux. Today, we cultivate by hand 5,8 hectares of vines on the sloping slopes of Tupine and Semons. Our ambition is to produce elegant Côte-Rôties. typical of the southern Côte-Rôtie appellation (from a Gneiss bedrock).
The Cuvée La Germine is the main cuvée of the domain. It is a typical example of Côte-Rôtie from the south of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. It is composed of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier. It comes from several so-called places (Coteau de Tupin, Tupin, le collet, Maison-Rouge, Coteau de Bassenon) all located on a source of Gneiss or Migmatite. This cuvée, both complete and balanced, primarily expresses the elegance of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.
Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.
Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais.
The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character. Anxious to preserve the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring traditional agriculture and farming methods linked to observation.
In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The grapes are thus harvested healthy, at maturity and remain intact on arrival at the vat room for vinification in whole bunches.
The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while retaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.

The Domaine des Grecaux is located in Saint-Jean-de-Fos, near the Hérault gorges, in Languedoc.

Syrah grape varieties 75%. Grenache 25% Both grape varieties come from high altitude vines (300m) located on the Causse overlooking Montpeyroux.
Two brothers united by the same passion for wine, that is the very essence of this company. They take the liberty of going beyond the conventions of the appellation while preserving the unique identity of each of their terroirs. The brotherhood that binds the eight people working in this area reflects their commitment to sharing over a glass of Chablis, whether big or small...
CHÂTEAU CHALON DOMAINE BERTHET BONDET 2016
The Savagnin harvest takes place in October, two weeks after the Chardonnay harvest.
The grapes are harvested manually, crushed and pressed. The juice is decanted then left to ferment. At the end of these fermentations, the wine is racked and put into oak barrels for a period of at least six years and three months. These 228 liter barrels are stored in cellars characterized by their dry atmosphere and their temperature differences between winter and summer. During these six years the barrels are not completed. We say that they are not "oiled", that is to say that we do not add wine to compensate for evaporation as is done every week in Burgundy.
A veil of specific yeasts then develops on the surface of the wine which will work slowly in the darkness of the cellars and give this wine its own character which will make it one of the premier vintages of France.
The only grape variety used to make Château-Chalon wine, as with all yellow wines, is Savagnin, the old synonyms of which are, among others, naturé or fromentin.
Its origin is poorly known. From a botanical point of view, it is close to Klevener d'Heiligenstein grown in Alsace and belongs to the Traminer group. Also the legends reporting a Hungarian or Spanish origin have never been taken seriously. Some texts suggest that savagnin was already cultivated in the XNUMXth century.
It is characterized by an erect habit, an embossed and downy leaf on its underside, small grains, with thick skin, resistant to rot and allowing late maturation.
Located in the heart of Jurançon in the commune of Monein, between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic, the Cauhapé vineyard extends over 54 hectares generously facing south-east.
The first vines were planted in 1558. Representing only a few acres at the time, the Cauhapé vineyard now extends over 54 hectares. This unique terroir benefiting from a very particular climatology is ideal for the production of very aromatic white wines.
The soil, made up mostly of clay and silica, allows our native grape varieties to express their full potential. The vines are steep and planted on hillsides, at varying altitudes of up to 400 meters.
The significant thermal amplitude of day and night during the end of summer and autumn helps to preserve this precious acidity which affirms the unique character of our wines.
