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...
Another Olivier Lamy "energy bomb" coming from such a steep vineyard where everything is done by hand. The stumps were planted in 1964 and it is essentially the slope of St-Aubin bordering Puligny-Montrachet and has a south-southwest exposure. The soils are on a limestone substrate and give tremendous levels of energy and concentration to the Chardonnay....
It is produced by spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and apart from clarification to remove wine sludge, the wine is not subject to any other processing. Sulfite levels are very low in wine. Mature, rich in volume and oiliness which is "cut" and balanced by acidity. The result is soft, "tied", nothing stands out, as...
With an emphasis on bringing out the aromas of the variety, Mosaik is vinified in large centenary foudres with spontaneous fermentations and is a delicate, hedonistic expression of a dry Riesling. On the nose, it bursts with juicy citrus, night-flower aromas and the varietal's classic mineral signature. The lemony fruit on the palate and the minerality...

The aromas of the wine do not stop evolving in the glass, the ripeness plays with the freshness of the acidity, the character in the mouth is complex and the wine clearly gives you a sense of fullness. This is one of the most divine wines...
Aori means "mountain" in the local dialect and this is the name chosen by Aimilios Andrey for his project, indicating the search and revival of mountain vineyards in the White Mountains of Chania. The Muscat Spinas he produces is vinified in anodised tanks using neutral cultured yeasts and the brief contact with the lees helps the wine to build complexity...
Forget everything that defines modern. In Taganana everything is necessarily done in the traditional way. It is not a matter of choice but the wildness of the place dictates it. Only animals can help with the farming, which is done strictly by hand. The vines grow freely, without any support over cliffs. For those with acrophobia the sight is forbidding,...
A different approach to the Savvatiano variety characterized by maturity, complexity, tasty tensions and the interplay between primary, secondary (from the lees) and tertiary (ageing) aromas. Even if one is not a fanatic of the style, Aoton Savatiano is a wine with a completely unique character and gives an extra dimension to the variety and complexity of...
