They saw the huge potential of this particular area of the Maremma, the Colline Metallifere, mineral-rich hills that have been mined since Etruscan times.  Not the coastal lowlands one usually associates with the Maremma, the Colline Metallifere are located more inland, at altitude.  For example, Ampeleia's vineyards just outside the hamlet of Roccatederighi reach 600m.   This part of the Maremma has never been home to intensive agriculture, and it has some of the lowest population density in all of Italy.  In fact, the Colline Metallifere are a national park and also a UNESCO Global Geopark site. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco Tait has been at the helm of Ampeleia since the very beginning. He's originally from Trentino, where his father was the agronomist at Foradori.  As a kid, he remembers doing after-school vineyard tasks and playing hide-and-seek in the cellar.  After enology school and working for some larger, more conventional wine operations in the North, he came to Ampeleia, initially skeptical about the power of biodynamics.   But Ampeleia is a special place, and its unspoiled nature and inherent biodiversity allowed biodynamics to take root much more quickly than in places that are more anthropized.  All activities at Ampeleia had been converted to biodynamics as of the 2009 vintage. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farm Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41849163546811,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/01_02d1de1d-da15-477b-8053-6005f54bd45f.jpg?v=1703723574"},{"product_id":"pignier-trousseau","title":"Pignier \"Trousseau\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/b\u003e Trousseau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Jura, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: \u003c\/b\u003eBiodynamic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/b\u003e Gravelly Limestone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYeasts:\u003c\/b\u003e Native\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/b\u003e Destemmed then fermented in neutral barrels + stainless steel tanks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAging:\u003c\/b\u003e 12 months in neutral barriques\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFining or Filtering:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes from the Importer: \u003c\/b\u003eEstablished by monks in the 1300 the Pignier family took over in 1794, the family grow all their own fruit over 37 acres at the foothills of Jura mountains.

The objective has always been a search for quality and an expression of the terroirs. In the beginning of the 1990’s, the work was essentially focused in the cellar. But quickly, we understood that the cellar and vinification have their limits. It was necessary to do more work in the vineyard. The opportunity to acquire exceptional terroirs like Curon, La Mailloche, Les Bruyères or Château-Chalon came our way. Today, our 50 hectares of vines are cultivated in bio-dynamic viticulture to allow the soils to live, the grapes to be untouched by chemical products, fermentations made with natural yeast, and to reduce the amount of sulphur used in the cellar. This evolution is a means and not an end - a means to enjoy what we do and to put our terroirs first.

The objective has always been a search for quality and an expression of the terroirs. In the beginning of the 1990’s, the work was essentially focused in the cellar. But quickly, we understood that the cellar and vinification have their limits. It was necessary to do more work in the vineyard. The opportunity to acquire exceptional terroirs like Curon, La Mailloche, Les Bruyères or Château-Chalon came our way. Today, our 50 hectares of vines are cultivated in bio-dynamic viticulture to allow the soils to live, the grapes to be untouched by chemical products, fermentations made with natural yeast, and to reduce the amount of sulphur used in the cellar. This evolution is a means and not an end - a means to enjoy what we do and to put our terroirs first. Today, there are 24 people who work year-round at the domaine in order to produce a harvest limited to 25 hectolitres per hectare. A research for diversity led us to produce 35 different cuvées. Often, terroir by terroir, with lots of innovation keeping account of the extaordinary potentional of the Jurassien vineyard with its white varietals - chardonnay and savagnin - and its reds - poulsard, trousseau et pinot noir.

One year, a large buyer cancelled their purchase at the last moment, and in 2009, the young brothers Francesc and Joan decided to produce their own wines in order to find their independence and create their own wines that properly reflect their proud hometown of Corbera.

Before starting the winery, Eduard made conventional wine with his father in Styria, and Stephanie’s family owned and operated the Michelin starred restaurant Taubenkobel. They painstakingly restored the 17th century winery that had been abandoned for 20 years, including its 200-year-old screw press. The vines’ 20-year period of neglect was fortunate, as this allowed for all pesticide and chemical treatments to be washed away. This let them begin working immediately on vines biodynamically, where they are now fully Demeter certified.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen they began to work with the wines in the cellar, they noticed that each wine seemed so alive with its own personality, that they decided to craft labels centered around the personality inside each bottle. Thus they created a family of wines: each wine is given a name of one family member and the artist Jung von Matt draws a face for each label. The children, Atanasius, Theodora, and Winifred, are wines that are more forthright, light, bold and energetic. The parents, Joschuari, Emmeram, Timotheus, and Josephine, come from vineyards with a little more direct sun exposure and therefore more ripeness producing wines with more body and power. And finally the grandparents, Mechtild and Bertholdi, are from two single vineyards of older vines that produce the most traditional wines from their lineup. Most of the vineyards are field blended, and therefore there is little mention of grape varieties here, but they do work with 6 main grape varieties– Blaufrankish, Zweigelt Grüner Veltliner, Welchriesling, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), and Gewurtzraminer.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWiltrude and Joshuari’s son.

He farms a balanced \u0026amp; completely chemical free 13-hectares of vines in the heart of the VDP Sologne. Courtois also grows organic wheat, which he feeds to his cows. “Nothing comes into my vineyard,” he says, meaning no chemicals ever. He has created a well-balanced, bio-diversity with trees, fruit trees, vines, woods, and fields. No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, or synthetic chemicals of any kind are allowed on the vines or in the soil of the vineyards. He has his own methods for promoting the diverse life of the soil. The grapes—Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Côt (Malbec), Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc \u0026amp; Pineau d’ Aunis—are harvested by hand and only indigenous yeasts are used during fermentation. Claude regards the soil on his farm as a living organism. He lives in harmony with nature and the wines he crafts are a pure and vibrant testament to outstanding Biodynamic winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaude, who is growing older, has started to pass off the winemaking to his son Etienne, who is already showing immense promise. Currently Claude only makes the Racines cuvées and Etienne is in charge of the others. Etienne is another example of the new generation taking over, bringing a new level of precision to winemaking, much as Baptiste cousin has with some of his father Olivier’s wines. As Claude did before him, Etienne is continuing the tradition of very long elevage in barrel, including up to 4 years in barrel for the cuvée des étourneaux gamay! Etienne has begun to experiment with slightly shorter elevage times, and so far we have been excited by the added freshness and acidity we see in these wines.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amy Atwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744609145019,"sku":"","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/01_3448d5fa-c4e8-4ede-ac3a-0a0f54a4cea6.jpg?v=1719186043"},{"product_id":"justin-dutraive-beaujolais-les-bulands","title":"Justin Dutraive Beaujolais \"Les Bulands\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/b\u003e Gamay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Beaujolais Villages, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: \u003c\/b\u003eOrganic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/b\u003e Clay + Granite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/b\u003e Cold carbonic maceration for 12 hours, then 2-4 weeks fermentation without pumpovers.

This allows him to have total control over the farming and vinification – or as much control as possible when winemaking is done naturally. As a “side job,” Justin works alongside his family at Domaine de la Grand’Cour in Fleurie, where he absorbed the natural Gamay ethos from his father Jean-Louis (as well as from the rotating band of winemakers who regularly pass through the gates). As Jean-Louis nears retirement, Justin has taken on more of the winemaking for the mishmash of labels that permutate from the Dutraive enclave.

With an educational background in horticulture and many years of experience in attentive vegetable growing, Damien learned from Jean-François Ganevat in the Jura and star Chasselas producer Dominique Lucas (Les Vignes du Paradis). He created his own vineyard and took over 0.75ha of Chasselas in the Marignan appellation, two west-facing vineyards in Sciez, planted in 1985 on a glacial moraine not far from Lake Geneva. His first cuvées, still very discreet, had impressed us with their determination. In 2020, he decided to take over a total of 3ha. Chasselas was joined by Altesse and he also started to press red wines, from Gamay and Pinot Noir. If you want to rediscover Chasselas aka Chasselas, don't miss these wines. Vinified without sulfur, they are crystalline, pure, precise and delicate. They are already amazing wines and they will develop even more with a little time in the cellar. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42882070347963,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/01_c44b5c90-f977-418e-ac5e-59285848aaf0.jpg?v=1713480201"},{"product_id":"sebastien-david-hurluberlu","title":"Sebastien David \"Hurluberlu","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/b\u003e Cab Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Loire, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: \u003c\/b\u003eBiodynamic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandy + silex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/b\u003e C\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003earbonic maceration for 25 days.

They, thus, leave 1.5m of permanent natural cover crop in the middle of the rows. The other vineyards are plowed by horse by Gilbert Simond, who is a master in his field. He is the most coveted horse plower of the Côte, hired by everyone from Domaine de Montille to Domaine Des Comtes Lafon. The soils are tilled from mid-April to mid-July only, with no tilling for the other 8 months of the year. In mid-July, after the last tilling, they manually sow a mix of 13 different perennial and annual plant species to de-compact the soil and build organic mass for better water retention, increased biodiversity and healthier soil composition.

Natural winemaking may bring some producers fleeting popularity, but for Julien Guillot it communicates a deep and personal sense of practice and responsibility. Here, attention is paid not only to the life of the vine in a given place, but how life at large has been sustained over the course of 1,100 years ‐ a conception of winemaking that is centered on stewardship, not mere maintenance.

The Bohn family members have been winegrowers for well over three centuries in Reichsfeld, a small village at the far end of the valley, where until recently, the local Alsatian dialect was still more common than French. Today, Bernard and his son Arthur farm just over 9 hectares and go beyond organic agriculture to incorporate uncommon techniques, such as completely abandoning vineyard plowing and allowing cover crops to coexist to create balance in the vines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBernard has always had an independent streak. While still in high school, he decided to leave his Jesuit boarding school and enroll in the local winemaking program. With the bare minimum certification in hand, he returned home and announced to his father that he would like to take over the winery. At the time, the domaine was spread out over many small parcels in the village, but Bernard had his sights on the Schieferberg, a backbreaking steep slope composed of nearly pure schist, where the Bohn family had constructed a small chapel many years earlier. Through a series of purchases, inherited vineyards, and trades with other winemakers who preferred flatter and easier to work parcels, Bohn managed to cobble together a single 5-hectare parcel of old vine Riesling and Pinot Gris.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mission","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44063388958907,"sku":"","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/01_74e576f2-3236-4563-8aaf-b26751b46b5f.jpg?v=1729373546"},{"product_id":"thierry-hesnault-la-centenaire-du-vauperroux","title":"Thierry Hesnault \"La Centenaire du Vauperroux\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/b\u003ePineau d'Aunis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: \u003c\/b\u003eLoire, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: \u003c\/b\u003eOrganic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils: \u003c\/b\u003eTuffeau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification: \u003c\/b\u003e3 week whole-cluster fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAging: \u003c\/b\u003e18 months in old barrels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFining or Filtering: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSulfur: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes from the Importer:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e A native of Touraine, Thierry comes from a family of vignerons and travelled the world working in vineyards before returning to the Loire and working alongside the likes of Eric Nicolas and Jean-Pierre Robinot, whilst teaching at the Lycée Viticole in Amboise.

Following the example of traditionalist Jules Chauvet, Marcel and three other local vignerons Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton, soon hoisted the flag of Chauvet’s back-to-nature movement. Kermit dubbed this clan the Gang of Four, and the name has stuck ever since. The Gang called for a return to the old practices of viticulture and vinification. Sadly, the 2010 vintage was Marcel’s last. His children, Mathieu and Camille continue the great work that their father pioneered, introducing biodynamic vineyard practices and ensuring that Marcel's legacy lives on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy now, with this thirty-fourth consecutive vintage of the domaine’s Morgon we’ve shipped to American shores, many are familiar with the significance of the name Lapierre on a wine label. Kermit summed it up concisely in 1992 when he wrote, “Lapierre is the Beaujolais renegade who does not chaptalize, does not add yeasts, and does not filter.” Marcel’s rejection of industrialized, production-oriented agriculture in favor of the labor-intensive traditional farming his father and grandfather practiced marked a turning point in the Beaujolais and beyond, as countless vignerons would later follow in his footsteps and embrace more natural ways of viticulture and winemaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e    One part of the story often left out is that a young Marcel Lapierre, back at the domaine following military service in the early ’70s, initially convinced his father to abandon the old-fashioned ways of working for the modern techniques he had just learned in winemaking school. Not only were the Lapierres assured a consistent crop from year to year, but they could wave good-bye to the laborious days spent tilling the vineyard soils when a quick pass spraying synthetic herbicides would easily do the job.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e    One little caveat, however: Marcel realized he couldn’t stand to drink his own wines, which he deemed insipid. He always found himself reaching for the bottles his late father had produced via those “archaic” methods. And so began, with the mentorship of an eccentric old biochemist named Jules Chauvet, a return to tradition: no more herbicides or chemical fertilizers, but also no more laboratory yeasts, massive doses of sulfur, acidification, chaptalization, or sterile filtration in the cellar. The 1978 vintage would be Marcel’s very first “natural wine.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e    Forty-four harvests later, Marcel’s son, Mathieu, and daughter, Camille, manage the domaine with the same sense of humility that their father learned in his early days. They have taken his life’s work and elevated it in the face of new challenges, namely a capricious and changing climate. The wines remain as good as ever: this is Gamay in its purest form, from some of the very best terroirs in the Beaujolais region. The newly arrived 2022 is a pleasure bomb, chock-full of silky ripe fruit, earthy tones, and a stimulating juicy energy.

He believes in letting wines stay in their old oak barrels until fermentation is complete. Robinot operates under a \"no rush\" mentality and is fascinated by the changes the wines go through during this time. To the outsider Robinot’s process may seem like total chaos, but he is certainly the master of chaos knowing exact information about every barrel and bottle. Adding to the confusion, the labels on each wine are changed every year. The labels are frequently his or his daughter’s paintings or manipulated photographs, and are always identifiable as Robinot’s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe currently makes two different lines that are both made without sulphur or any other interventions.

After spending his youth in the military, opening six successful Italian restaurants in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka, and becoming a well-respected sommelier and advocate for natural wine, it was time to take the next step. Transitioning to farming and winemaking at fifty is a brave feat, but his exuberance and dedication compelled him to try. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir winery was completed in 2017 in Nan’yo. The city has been in steady decline for the past fifty years, with over ten thousand residents (25%) leaving for larger urban centres. Despite its fame for the Chrysanthemum Festival, Kumano-Taisha Shrine, and the hot springs, many are opting out of agriculture. Kazuomi has adopted many abandoned vineyards, hoping to inspire a new generation to return to the land via his captivating, terroir-driven wines. He foresees a day when dozens of vignerons will work side-by-side, elevating the region to the level of prestige it is capable of. Hence the name Grape Republic – it’s a goal, not just a moniker. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe region is mostly between 200-450m above sea level, surrounded on three sides by mountains, far enough from the ocean to be considered a continental climate. These factors lead to massive diurnal swings, a variable that helps grapes retain their acidity. By Japanese standards, Yamagata is slightly less humid, which makes organic agriculture a fraction more manageable. The soils drain well and are often comprised of granite and schist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe majority of grapes grown in this region are hybrids – crossings of Vitis Vinifera (European grape vines) and varieties from North America. Most were created for culinary applications, favouring large, uniform berries, delicate flavours, lower sugar levels, thinner skins, little to no seeds, and softer acids for the ideal eating experience. They tend to be more resistant to Japan’s humidity and easily adapt to alternative training systems like overhead pergolas. The flavour profile of these grapes is entirely new for many consumers, making them as shocking as they are delicious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJapan’s lack of a robust appellation system is a double-edged sword for Kazuomi. It leaves the door open for questionable practices like adulteration and fraud but also allows for experimentation and exploration.

After studies in business, instead of pursuing a more standard career path, Thibaud decided to go for his passion – wine – and to create his own winery. He established his own operation in Condrieu following experiences working with winemakers in France (André Perret, Domaine Joblot, Chateau le Devay, Domaine Duclaux…) and in Australia (Adam Foster, Syrahmi). After first renting a basement, he recently moved to a new winery with all the room he needs to experiment and grow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44645769576635,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/shot_20250314125244.jpg?v=1745550506"},{"product_id":"o2y-rouge-pourquoi","title":"O2Y \"Pourquoi Non\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePinot noir + Pinot gris \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEguisheim, Alsace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eViticulture: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBiodynamic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoils: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClay + limestone + mussel chalk + marl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis metisse is produced with fully de-stemmed grapes which come from the biodyamically-farmed vineyards of Domaine Hertz in Alsace.

Having settled here in late 1983, he set up his family farm over 6 hectares of vines rimmed by woodlands and rolling lowlands. Nowadays, Le Raisin et l’Ange (translates to: The Grape and The Angel) is a joint project between himself and his son, Antonin. In addition to their own vines they’ve really committed themselves and their project to an increasingly négociant bent in order to promote and grow the renown and awareness of the awesomely transparent organic grape-growers of the Southern Ardêche. Among the many farms they will purchase grapes from is a shelf perennial of ours, the brothers over at Domaine Ozil. Despite the famously rocky and recalcitrant soils of the southern Ardêche, this father-son team has long been reviving the viticulture from yesteryear here, replanting loads of cereals, fruit trees, and more specific woodland trees  like Boxwoods that help reinvigorate the deeper soil layers.

Yields are extremely low, but the fruit delivered is of the highest quality, producing an exceptional wine with intense fruit extract, without a long extraction on the mash. The rugged terrain does not allow mechanical processing, so all cultivation is done by hand. After careful selection of the grapes left on the skins for 4-5 days and fermented spontaneously in open vats. More than half of the wine is aged in fiberglass tanks, while the rest goes into neutral 500-liter oak barrels.

In 1998, Giusto invited her to help him out at Vinitaly for four days. Arianna was 16 at the time and knew nothing about wine; the experience was such a good one that she decided to study viticulture and oenology in university. This quickly proved counter-intuitive, since everything she had learned from her uncle (organic viticulture, hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentations) clashed with what she was being taught in school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndeterred, Arianna started making her own wine with just one hectare of abandoned vines in the commune of Vittoria. Over the years, she has progressively expanded the estate by replanting 10 hectares of the region's indigenous Frappato and Nero D'Avola in selection massale. A few years later, she was able to start renting 50 year old Frappato and 45 year old Nero D'Avola vines, both independently bottled as single varietal\/vineyard cuvées. In 2012, an additional eight hectares of 19 year old vines were acquired, which for the time being will be used to produce more of her \"SP68\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinually pushing things forward, Arianna built herself a new cellar in 2014, a huge step up from the cramped, chaotic space she used to work in.

By this time, Silvio had already developed a passion for wine in the United States. With the certain impossibility of finding an affordable rent in New York with three growing sons, Silvio and his wife Catalina decided to stay on after his mother’s death, turning the Chianti Classico farm into their home with a portion of the farm converted as a half-year bed-and-breakfast.

Jean-Louis' door is always open, as are his bottles. He makes himself regularly available to young people in the region who are interested in farming naturally, and he is among the first to lend a hand, a tractor, or words of advice to colleagues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine de la Grand Cour dates back to 1969 when it was purchased by Jean Dutraive, making it one of the oldest in the village of Fleurie. Jean Dutraive was joined by his son and fifth generation vigneron Jean-Louis in 1977. By 1989, the reins were fully in Jean-Louis’s capable hands. The foundation of the property are the lieux-dits of Clos de la Grand Cour, Chapelle des Bois and Champagne which make up a total of 9 hectares of vines in Fleurie, surrounding the house and cellars. Additionally, the family has 1.6 hectares in the cru of Brouilly where the Dutraive family originates. The average age of the vines are around 40-50 years, with a good chunk over 70 years of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Louis is a devout practitioner of organic viticulture with the property certified by ECOCERT since 2009. Jean-Louis, however, was practicing organic viniculture many years before that. Harvest is done by hand and grapes are immediately placed in tank at low temperatures to begin carbonic maceration (without sulfur). The wines ferment naturally with indigenous yeast and are macerated on the skins for anywhere from 15-30 days depending on the vintage and the particular wine. The wines are then gravity fed to the cellar for a period of ageing of 6-15 months, depending on the cuvée. Elevage occurs mostly in used burgundy barrels, though the Fleurie Grand'Cour, Fleurie Chapelle des Bois and Brouilly are sometimes aged at least partially in old foudres or cement tanks depending on the vintage. S02 is rarely added during the élévage, only when necessary, though a small amount is added when the wines are racked and assembled for bottling. And in general, no fining and filtration is used unless absolutely required. In the words of Jean-Louis, he practices \"low intervention, high surveillance\" winemaking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Source","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":46727789838523,"sku":"","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2023","offer_id":46727789871291,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5335\/0843\/files\/01_085967d0-2d91-42af-8659-69f04340c7ba.jpg?v=1729367818"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.buvonswine.com\/collections\/red.oembed?page=11","provider":"Buvons Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
