From the family's biodynamic vineyards on the slopes of Goumenissa, the rosé Negoska stays in contact with the skins for about eighteen to twenty-four hours and then ferments at low temperatures with indigenous yeasts. It is not filtered and the sulphur content is low. The nose has a combination of ripe fruit, poppy seeds and peppery spices. And while it...
Precision winemaking, with a percentage of the grapes coming from the famous unripe bells that are usually left back in the vineyard because they are not ripe enough. But here they are vinified separately in 400lt perle barrels that don't let the dioxide escape. There they will remain in the absence of oxygen in anaerobic conditions for three months. The...
Located on the plateau of Gouye, from which it actually borrows its name, Domaine de Gouye shows an absolutely timeless feel and tranquillity. Mistral passing through the vineyards and Ramses, the estate horse ploughs the vines are the most vibrant movements in between. Along with the stumps of Syrah planted since the 50s, there are also a few plantings...
Outside of Saint-Joseph appellation of origin, although in similar soils, and in a cooler mesoclimate due to altitude and orientation, Domaine de Gouye's Gabouillon Syrah is lighter in alcohol and structure, but bursting with flavour. Peppery elements, fresh fruit, acidity and freshness that one can only find in this part of France when it comes to Syrah....
Orange Santameriana triggers explosions in both the nose and mouth. And while the aromas escalate to remind you of peel, bergamot, sweet orange and orange, on the palate you are confronted with intense and heterogeneous elements. It's as if a supercharger has exploded the overall taste experience. The tannins are the perfect wrapping to the oily texture...
Silky, with aromas of dried rose and violet, layered aromatic complexity with extra spice, red fruit and traces of leather. The year gave the wine a fine balance of alcohol and acidity with mild - for the variety - tannins. Combined with plenty of fruit on the palate, they help it to be enjoyable and expressive without requiring long cellar ageing. Its...
The vines are scattered throughout the commune of St-Aubin, on the western slopes of the region and the fruit for 'La Princée' is harvested from many different places. The vines are planted between 1985 and 2000 and are cultivated using organic methods. The wine is matured in 300 and 600lt barrels for a year, followed by 6-12 months in bottle before being...
Let's leave any marketing gimmicks aside and focus on the substance of the matter. 1979 Wines' two Kallos micro releases from the 2022 vintage are two stunning and fascinatingly different resins. The research in the first stage highlighted the quality of the aromas from a sustainably harvested resin and in the second stage, taking this pure - capable of...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
