Organic and biodynamic vineyards at the end of the village with the classic non-interventionist winemaking of Deiss, which allows the terroir to express itself freely in their wines. Whole bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and maturation with the lees for 12 months in foudres. The soils are rich in silica, with a clay-limestone subsoil. A dry...
An incredible "polyphony" of aromas and flavors in yet another unique Deiss style. Grasberg is perhaps the finest of their premier crus, a vineyard at altitude that combines minerality, energy, the coolness of the location, and limestone soils with notes of botrytis, which here does not feel heavy against the wine, but rather gives the wine a...
All 13 Alsace varieties with Riesling making up 50% of the blend. Soft but with some "edges" at the same time and a dense texture. Perfectly balanced, a fantastic wine for spicy salmon tartare, Athenian fish, and fried foie gras. Old-school vinification, fermentation with whole bunches, spontaneous fermentation and maturation in contact with the lees for...
Grapes of different varieties are harvested and vinified together for as long as it takes, having first ripened to perfection thanks to the winery's meticulous attention to cultivation. With no additives or interventions during vinification, Complantation is the ultimate expression of the Alsace terroir. Calm, complete, and mature on the palate on the one...
Vines of rare beauty, in many cases steep and inaccessible, which have preserved in their “innards” local Cretan varieties that deserve to stand on a global level. Southern Rethymno has unique vineyards at altitude, with pre-harvest roots that are over 100 years old and complex plantings of varieties such as Vidiano, Plyto, Thrapsathiri, Melissaki and...
Vineyards with newer plantings and old ones, whose age exceeds 140 years and managed to survive the great fire of 2022 in Melamps and gave this wine a very small production. A truly unicorn wine, produced by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and with low sulphites. A terribly difficult year after the fire, but the result shows the dynamism...
Ripe fruit in the foreground along with spicier, mineral aromas and floral notes of dried flowers and nuts. The palate has a nice texture and moderate volume, balanced acidity and citrus peel with ripe apricot and banana. It is extremely enjoyable to drink and does not lack personality and character. Not intended for long aging but will evolve over 3-4...
Tensions and aromas that are universally captivating. Concentrated apricot, jams, figs, figs, raisins, thyme honey and spices, always, of course, through the floral signature of Muscat, which here emerges in the form of candied rose. It's hard to describe the explosion but also the crystal clarity of the aromas. The palate has a very nice richness but...
The wine is vinified in a combination of large foudres and oak barrels and matured for about 12 months without stirring the lees. No other intervention is made in the wine and sulphites are at very low levels. Delicate and intense at the same time in its aromatic intensity, it unfolds aromas of lemon curd, peach, quince and fresh pineapple, along with...
Marsannay is the northernmost part of one of the world’s most prestigious wine-growing regions, the renowned Côte de Nuits. And while the Côte de Nuits is primarily a source of red wines, Marsannay is the village that stands out for both the white and rosé wines it produces, part of the appellation d’origine contrôlée. This particular vineyard, with its...
Moinoterra's Vilana comes from a single vineyard at 500 metres altitude. And while in the fertile lowland parts of Crete and with management leading to high yields, the wines will lose their character by being watery and with little flavour, mountainous steep dry vineyards on poorer soils will give weight and concentration. At the vinification level after...
Un 1er Cru en Bourgogne est toujours une affaire très sérieuse, et Grésigny, situé dans la partie sud-ouest de Rully, compte parmi les meilleurs climats classés 1er Cru de l’appellation pour le Chardonnay. Grâce à une viticulture biologique et biodynamique et au soin attentif de Pierre de Benoist, la santé de ce vignoble de 80 ans est remarquable. Le...
