The grapes are organically grown (without certification) and come mainly from the mountainous area of Thapsani in the centre of the island. The "Nees Rizes" are not so new since they come from a combination of vineyards, the oldest of which in cups and traditional "aplotaria" are 150 years old. The vinification is entirely non-intrusive, with spontaneous...
Monemvasia, after the harvest at the end of August from organic autochthonous vineyards in various parts of the island up to 500m altitude, will follow a gentle natural vinification, where the wine will be vinified in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. The wine will remain in contact with the lees for 8 months before being bottled with only a small...
A Gevrey of amazing "form", athletic, muscular, full of power and energy from the old vineyards in an exceptional vineyard in the middle of a south-southeast facing slope on limestone with embedded marine fossils. The vineyard is farmed with certified organic farming and biodynamic practices and Galeyrand's non-intrusive, old school winemaking is the same...
Galeyrand"s winemaking philosophy finds perfect application in the Côte de Nuits Villages Vieilles Vignes. It"s not just the depth and play of the aromas but these beautiful textures that characterize his wines.

The Roditis of mountainous Aigialeia proves its dynamics in both its white and orange expressions, with the latter standing out for the excellent balance between the tannic structure due to extraction and the depth of taste. The natural freshness and energy of the mountain terroir act as an ideal counterbalance, giving harmony and vitality. The...
Delicious, expressive, fresh red fruit, reminiscent of cherry and wild strawberry along with some mineral notes that suggest iodine and herbal hints that bring to mind coriander and mint. A fine thread of tannins unfolds on the palate, just enough to provide the structure that even a wine so fine in line and delicacy would need. "Les Pierres Plates" comes...
The entire "Les Fossiles" range comes from fossil-rich soils in the Reuilly region and is vinified exclusively with indigenous yeasts. The small appellation of origin, just off the banks of the Loire River, can offer just as pleasing and enjoyable Pinot Noir as the neighbouring Sancerre. "Les Fossiles" has a very nice cherry expression on the nose and...
"Le Chatillons" is produced from vineyards in soils characterised mainly by gravel. The Pinot Gris is harvested early in order to preserve the freshness of the grapes.
