Penetrating tensions with beautiful oxidation supported by notes of citrus peel and candied lemon. Give it time to open up and it will throw a party of aromas with saffron and curry, tobacco leaves, nuts such as walnuts and roasted almonds, and earthy notes of truffle. Full of umami on the palate, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense...
It is not only the old stumps but also the clonal diversity and biodiversity, which is the reason for the exceptional complexity of wines from such vineyards. The above, combined with the slow natural vinification and the Tatsis brothers' non-intrusive approach to the winery, result in a wine that has excellent layering and multiple layers in the glass....
Made like champagnes, from biodynamically grown vines and nearly two years of contact with the lees after fermentation in the bottle, Jo Landron's Atmospheres is a blend of 36% Folle Blanche, 33% Pinot Noir and 31% Chardonnay. Yeast character, earthy notes and super dry mouthfeel in a wine that drinks like a wine two and three times more expensive than it...
For more structure and minerality turn to Marcel Lapierre's Morgon, but here, from the family's second estate (which after Marcel Lapierre's death is run by his wife with Jean Claude Chadunet) you will taste a more accessible, fruity example of Beaujolais typical of the cru of Brouilly. The wine is produced from old vines, which are grown using organic...

Antigone takes you on a unique journey into a world where perfection is defined by concepts such as authenticity and truth. An important terroir, defined here by the great Liatiko grape and the old pre-phylloxera vineyards,...
This wine draws on the tradition of Piemonte but equally of Burgundy. On the sandy soils of Lessona, Nebbiolo acquires a bouquet of aromas like rose, wild cherry and wild grapefruit with notes of tobacco, dried herbs and lively mineral dimension. On the palate its tannins are firm but velvety; the acidity is delicious same as the earthy dimension of the...
Wonderfully rich and concentrated, in a combination of fresh fruit with quince, honey and tahini. Those who love Rhone white wines will love it. The acidity is not prominent but perfectly balances the slightly oily texture of the wine. The combination of Macabeu and Grenache Gris from average ninety year old vines is vinified with indigenous yeasts in...
It is a blend of 50% Sangiovese, 40% Montepulciano and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, which is the classic blend of the appellation of origin. Sangiovese is more ethereal and elegant while Montepulciano gives the blend more body and richness. The wine comes from organic vineyards and is produced with minimal intervention in the winery. The fermentation and...
