One of the most remarkable aging wines of Chinon which Baudry manages in the cellar only inbarrels due to the density and strength of the fruit. Indigenous doughs, fermentation in oak barrels and maturation in old barrels bought second hand from Burgundy for at least 18 months. The depth and intensity of the fruit is amazing, the wine is extremely complex...
Aoton Savvatiano represents one of the most unique winemaking approaches found in Greece today. Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, approximately ten days of maceration on the skins, fifteen months on the fine lees with regular batonnage, and bottling with minimal sulfur remain constant elements of the winery’s philosophy. The 2025 vintage,...
Cuvée Céleste is produced from old, ungrafted Xinomavro vines in Amyndeo, planted on sandy-clay soils at an altitude of 650 metres. Only the free-run juice is used, with no press wine included. The first fermentation takes place in large foudres following a natural, low-intervention approach, with no added sulphur or oenological additives. The wine then...
The grapes are sourced from a 1.4-hectare vineyard situated at 700 metres above sea level, planted on sandy limestone soils with a high chalk content and farmed using gentle, low-intervention practices. Fermentation is carried out exclusively with indigenous yeasts in 600-litre barrels, with minimal sulphur additions and no oenological additives. The wine...

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...
Almost explosive in the nose. Lime and herbs over ripe honeyed fruit and intense mineral notesreminiscent of stone. Citrus freshness on the palate which has tremendous depth and complexity leading to a long honeyed finish. Stunning “chewy” texture and dominant minerality that vibrates the palate in a wine that will age “upshifting” giving ultimately...
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....
