The grapes of the different varieties are harvested and vinified together for as long as it takes, having first ripened to perfection with the help of the winery's most meticulous attention to cultivation. With no additions or interventions during vinification, Complantation is the ultimate expression of the Alsace terroir. Calm, complete and ripe on the...
A "hegemonic" in character grand cru that will stand without any complexity against a great Montrachet of Burgundy. Field blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Meunier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Beyrot with a high planting density, higher than all the other Deiss vineyards. The cultivation is certified organic and biodynamic and the vinification is done by whole...
Dragon Langhe Bianco is much more exciting than one would expect from the usual white wine vinified in steel tank. Wonderfully floral in aromas, like it has come for a stroll in a spring field with refreshing notes of citrus fruits, pear, kiwi and a hint of petrol and minerality like flint. On the palate it has richness and the oily character associated...
Aromas of apricot, tobacco and chaga and a mouthfeel with a rich honeyed texture but freshened by a generous dose of acidity in excellent balance with the ripe fruit. A few years in bottle and it will develop a lovely smoky expression rather reminiscent of toasted bread and reminiscent of the great terroirs of the world, such as that of Chablis....
In the background, the noble hints of oak provide the framework for the extremely ripe fruit to "shine", reminiscent of white peach and ripe lemon. The palate is delightfully delicious, medium-bodied with nice creamy textures and notes reminiscent of pastry cream but with plenty of freshness due to acidity and minerality. In its youthful period you will...
Nicolas Bourget tries to render the terroir of Paros without intermediate interventions and winemaking fioritures. His approach is as simple as possible. Native yeasts take over to "run" the alcoholic fermentation, after directly pressing the whole bunches of Assyrtiko, and the whole process takes place in stainless steel tanks where the wine remains in...
The grapes come from two different vineyard plots in the zone of Archanes with clay-clay sloping soils that drain well and are cultivated by two Archanian vine growers who take care of them with absolute diligence. The vines are still young, 7 and 12 years old, one at an altitude of 600m and the other a little lower at 470m. The grapes will be kept at a...
High acidity is just one of the characteristics of the Aligote variety. Next to it, in the best wines, there is a surprising salty minerality and a high-voltage energy that, in the case of Pierre Morey and with the help of biodynamics, is "dressed" with complex and beautifully ripened fruit. The wine is deliberately vinified and remains mainly in tanks,...
A classic expression of Chardonnay from biodynamic vineyards fermented and matured in 100% barrel, but not new, for 22 months. Fermentation, as in all Pierre Morey wines, is spontaneous and sulfites are minimal, while malolactic conversion was done slowly adding more volume and thickness to the vibrant fruit and acidity on the palate. All processes are...
The characteristically stony, limestone-filled soils of Les Tessons, combined with the biodynamic cultivation of Pierre Morey's privately owned vineyard, clearly illustrate the gifts of this terroir in wine. More nerve and stony minerality than fruit, in a wine that is "vertical" rather than "broad" as one would expect from a Meursault on the palate. And...
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...
