COTE ROTIE STEPHANE OGIER 2019

Côte-Blonde, But de Mont, Lancement, Côte-Rôzier, Champon, Besset ... this vineyard is rich in a mosaic of plots located in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie whose soil diversity and the northernmost climate of the Valley du Rhône gives the wines an incredible finesse. As close as possible to the vineyard, it strives to reveal the typical elegance of this appellation. The range he offers is therefore faithful to his roots and represents, for him, the culmination of a long history and fascinating daily work.

Gigondas les Grames 2022 Domaine des Espiers Magnum
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 very largely dominated by the 3 main Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in reasoned fight and do not receive any chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the terroir and the environment, with in particular yields of less than 35 hl/ha.
The harvest is manual for traditional vinification and aging taking place in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to develop robust, gourmet but also refined wines.
The grape variety is not classic since it is 65% Grenache noir and 35% Syrah. The nature of the soil is clay-limestone, and the yield for the traditional vintage is faithful to the decree of the appellation, i.e. 35 hl. The vinification is traditional, without destemming, cold at the beginning, then raised to temperature (35°) and stripped in order to extract maximum fruit. The harvest is carried out manually and the cultivation of the soil is mechanical (without chemical weedkillers) the wines are generally unfiltered. Aging is carried out for 6 months in 225 liter barrels.
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE CUVÉE CHAUPIN DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE 2018
In 1967, Aimé Sabon returned from his military service. He took over the vines from his father (who brought his grapes to the cooperative cellar) and his father-in-law (who sold the wine to the trade).
In 1973, Aimé built his own cellar. Thus was born the Domaine de la Janasse, named after the family farm which was located in Courthézon, at a place called “La Janasse”. Aimé is ambitious. Aware of having a fabulous terroir, he continues to expand the estate by acquiring new plots. From 15 hectares yesterday, La Janasse now occupies 90 hectares.
In 1991, after a BTA in viticulture and oenology in Beaune and a BTS in marketing in Mâcon, Christophe Sabon joined his father who, from the start, left him the keys to the cellar. Under his leadership, La Janasse produces different cuvées, conquers new markets and is firmly in keeping with its time.
In 2001, Isabelle, Christophe's sister, a graduate oenologist from the Faculty of Toulouse, joined the team in 2001. With Hélène, Aimé's wife and Christophe and Isabelle's mother, the family is reunited at La Janasse, which becomes, in a few years, one of the jewels of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
This cuvée comes from the cold and late terroirs of Chapouin (sand) and La Janasse and from the plateau of La Crau (sand). Area: 7 ha.
100% Garnacha. Vines planted in 1912 for the older ones. Vineyard: The vines are grown without pesticides or insecticides and the manure is of natural origin. The land is worked without weedkiller to maintain the aeration and flexibility of the soil.

Tasting: The quintessence of Grenache in its finest expression from its birthplace of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Between notes of black fruits and violets, this cuvée advances in time quite supplely, with already melted tannins.

CHAVEYRON 1422 DOMAINE SALADIN WINE OF FRANCE 2020
Domaine Saladin is located in Saint Marcel d'Ardèche, a southern village of the Côtes du Rhône du Sud, halfway between Montélimar and Avignon, on the right bank of the Rhône.
Elisabeth, Marie-Laurence, Louis and Annick Saladin are at the head of Domaine Saladin, a family property passed down from father to son and father to daughters since 1422. The 18 hectares and 13 grape varieties
Rhodanians of the estate offer the particularity of having always been harvested by hand, cultivated and vinified organically.
“Chaveyron – 1422” is a selection of plots located in Saint Marcel d'Ardèche. The archives show that in 1422, Raymond Saladin bought a vine planter at a place called “Chaveyron”. A composition, a XNUMXth century copy of which is kept in the departmental archives of the Ardèche, attests: “Raymondi Saladini de Trihano Item unum Planterium situun in Chalvayrono”.
Since then, the generations of farmers-vine growers have succeeded one another.
The terroir is made up of “red” earth, ferrous, dotted with rolled pebbles. The exposure is oriented South-East on hillsides. To the north, oaks, a “Clapas” (heap of stones in patois) and a hedge of high cypresses authorized the plot. The yield reaches 28 hectoliters per hectare. No use of pesticides, herbicides or insecticides since the origin of the Domain. The harvest is entirely manual. Certified Organic Agriculture by Ecocert. Since 2006, Elisabeth and Marie-Laurence have chosen to downgrade this cuvée to Table Wine because it does not meet the standard of the approval commission. Vinification method: Syrah and Viognier are harvested by hand and vinified together. One month vatting in indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place in oak casks for 9 months.

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.
