Skin Contact Sous Roche Red 2016

Domaine de Chassorney

This Pinot Noir comes from a plot with a steep, south-southeast facing terroir located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level in the Saint-Romain appellation. The soils are mainly marl, limestone and clay. The grapes, from fifty-year-old vines, macerate in whole bunches. Aging takes place for about a year in barrels. Beautiful structure, well-rounded tannins, and lovely notes of black fruits.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Jeannette White 2015,

Damien Bureau

This sweet, oxidative Chenin comes from vines planted on schist soils. The grapes are pressed directly, and aged in oak barrels.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Xarab Silver White 2006

Bodega Barranco Oscuro

On south-facing schist hillsides at an altitude of 1,300 meters, Manuel Valenzuela has created this astonishing sweet white wine from the Xarab series, made from Pedro Ximenez and Xarel·lo grapes, raisined on the vine and harvested in December. Golden-amber in color, with a nose of candied grapes and buttery caramel, the palate is rich and taut, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive richness and syrupiness. The finish lingers on dried fruits and caramel, and the cellaring is very long.
Natural wine without added sulfites.

Into the Wine Red 2016

La Sorga
The Mourvèdres that make up this single-variety red wine come from the Saint-Chinian appellation. The destemmed grapes macerate in demi-muids (thick 500- to 650-liter barrels) for sixty days, virtually in an infusion, then the wine is aged for six months in amphorae. Notes of violet and black fruits: perfect for a tagine, borscht, or red cabbage velouté. Aging potential: twenty years.
