Volnay 1er Cru Les Lurets Rouge 2021

Domaine de Chassorney
From one of the finest climates in Volnay, this premier cru red wine is opulent, balanced, and dense. It offers abundant notes of red and black fruits, including a full, ripe, and flavorful cherry. This is a voluptuous wine to be enjoyed at special occasions. Its velvety structure is fine and delicate, soaring into notes of airy lightness. The Lurets plot, in the Volnay AOC, produced this Pinot Noir. Its steep, west-southeast-facing terroir is located between 230 and 280 meters above sea level. The soils are primarily composed of pink limestone supported by white schist pebbles. The grapes macerate in whole bunches for two weeks in open wooden fermenters. The aging is about a year in old and new oak barrels.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for some time as a wine broker before creating the Chassorney estate with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc, and elsewhere. At his farm, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are tended according to biodynamic principles: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper, and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.

Terre des Anonymes Blanc 2015, Domaine La Sorga
This 100% Colombard white wine comes from the basalt sandy soils of the Hérault Valley, in Adissan. The grapes are vinified in whole bunches for forty-five days, then macerated for eleven months in vats. Its mango notes give it a real affinity with Asian cuisine and seafood such as scallops, cuttlefish, or squid. Its aging potential is ten years.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Pommard Rouge 2021

Domaine de Chassorney
The illustrious Burgundy vineyard of Pommard, the epitome of Burgundy red wine, is represented here by Frédéric Cossard in the form of this beautiful wine full of red fruits and voluptuousness. On the palate, it is supple and light, but also has presence and personality. A straightforward, loyal, taut wine, adored by the ancient Dukes of Burgundy. The soils are clay-limestone and well-drained at the lower slopes, and at higher altitudes are Oxfordian marl, brown calcic and brown calcareous soils. Occasionally, a red tint emerges, revealing iron oxide. Pommard retains a virile and assertive reputation, especially inherited from the 19th century. However, it reveals itself to be sensitive, supple, and feline, tending towards leather, pepper, and chocolate with age. It is best to let this wine age a little to allow it to express its full potential. The Pinot Noir harvest on clay-limestone soil is macerated for three weeks in whole bunches before aging for a year in concrete eggs.

Magnum VN Vinel.lo Ancestral Sparkling Red 2016

Partida Creus

VN, Vinel·lo Ancestral Red Sparkling Wine, is a natural sparkling wine resulting from a blend of indigenous grape varieties: Samsó (Cinsault), Garrut (Mourvèdre), Trepat, Ull de Perdiu, Queixal de Llop, Sumoll, and Grenache Noir, harvested from predominantly limestone soils. After crushing, the musts from the different grape varieties ferment one after the other and are gradually added, thus extending fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Fermentation completes in the bottle for ten months on fine lees. No filtration, no additives, no added sulfites. A fruity, very fresh sparkling wine with floral and yeasty notes. Very long finish. Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum Rosso Red 2011

Le Coste

This generous Italian red is made from a blend composed primarily of Grechetto (a local variety related to Sangiovese), with the secondary grape varieties being Cannaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, and Vaiano, indigenous varieties planted in the vineyards on the volcanic soils of the Le Coste estate. Fermentation lasts about a month in French oak and chestnut vats. Rosso is then aged in Slovenian oak barrels. At first glance, a beautiful ruby color, a crisp and juicy palate, with notes of red and black fruits.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum Munjebel CS Red 2015

Frank Cornelissen

This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from an ungrafted vine in the Zottorinoto contrada, growing on the Chiusa Spagnola plot, surrounded by lava rocks, somewhat hidden in an amphitheater-like landscape and at an altitude of 620 meters. This plot was planted in 1925 and produces a deep, tannic wine, somewhat reminiscent of Nebbiolo, with a slightly less intense color than the estate's other reds.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

L'as des années folles Sparkling Rosé 2021

Jean-Pierre Robinot

The free breath of natural bubbles

Poet, winemaker, visionary, Jean-Pierre Robinot has successfully imposed his vision of natural wine: slowness, precision, and spontaneity. He crafts his wines without additives or artifice, allowing the wine all the time it needs to reveal itself. In this sparkling cuvée, he combines aromatic finesse and material depth with rare elegance.

Ancestral method on schist and barrels

L'As des années folles is a sparkling rosé wine made from a blend of Chenin and Pineau d'Aunis. The grapes, grown on schist soils, are vinified using the ancestral method, meaning without the addition of yeasts or sugar. Fermentation is interrupted and then resumed in the bottle for natural effervescence. The wine is then aged for a long time on lees, in used barrels, which gives it texture, complexity, and persistence.

A full-bodied and floral sparkling rosé

On the nose, the bouquet evokes old rose, violet, crisp red fruits, and a spicy touch characteristic of Pineau d'Aunis. On the palate, the bubbles are fine, the texture fleshy, almost velvety, with well-integrated freshness. The extended aging brings length and depth, without losing the joyful vivacity of the pét-nat style.

Pairings & serving: a gastronomic bubble

Enjoy from aperitif, with fine artisanal charcuterie, tapas, or subtly spiced cuisine. This natural sparkling rosé is best served between 10 and 12°C. It can be cellared for over 10 years to gain complexity, or enjoyed now for its delicious freshness.

Cardonohay White 2011

Bodega Barranco Oscuro

Volnay 1er Cru Les Roncerets Rouge 2021

Domaine de Chassorney
On the nose, raspberry, strawberry, violet, candied fruit, spices, a touch of undergrowth and animal notes. On the palate, more red fruit and violet, blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry. A very fine, gourmet, complex wine, endowed with finesse and great aromatic concentration. Solid, well-structured tannins. This robust wine for laying down, which can be left for some time before drinking and will age magnificently, comes from vines around forty years old. The twelve-month aging is done mainly in barrels, a third of which are new oak. The Roncerets climate consists of very stony clay-limestone soil. This wine has excellent aging potential. It is aged for one year in barrels and vinified without the addition of sulfites.

Sylvaner Origin White 2020

Jean-Marc Dreyer

With Sylvaner Origin 2020, Jean-Marc Dreyer brilliantly reinterprets this often underestimated Alsatian grape variety. Thanks to whole-bunch maceration and eleven months of aging in foudres, he gives it remarkable depth and structure. A natural, vibrant, and refined wine, a cross between a dry white and an orange wine.

Natural vinification for a pure expression of the terroir

Grown biodynamically, this Sylvaner benefits from meticulous work in the vineyard and the winery: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no filtration or clarification, and no added sulfites throughout the process. Maceration extracts fine tannins, giving the wine body and a silky texture, while preserving a beautiful mineral tension.

An intense and structured Sylvaner

Behind its golden color with amber highlights, this wine reveals an expressive nose with notes of candied citrus, orange peel, and fine spices. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied, driven by perfectly balanced acidity and a straight, elegant structure. The subtle tannins provide a lingering length, marked by a saline and slightly tannic touch that invites tasting.

Food and wine pairings and tasting moments

Served between 12 and 14°C, this macerated Sylvaner shines as an accompaniment to seafood, fine fish, and shellfish. It also excels with more gourmet dishes such as financial vol-au-vent, porcini mushroom ravioli, or mature cheese. Its balance between freshness and opulence makes it a wine equally at home as an aperitif or on a fine dining table.

"Maceration is a tradition in Alsace!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the pomace to the press. » Whole-bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, the remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at first, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then came the sweet period: all his wines contained residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he swore never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserts his style around skin maceration, quite advanced, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, of which it brings out the structure without sacrificing the delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.

Riesling Blanc 2022

Domaine Einhart
Riesling from Domaine Einhart is, as its name suggests, a dry white wine made from 100% Riesling from the Alsace region, organic (Ecocert) and natural, classified as a Vin de France. Riesling, the lord of Eastern European grape varieties, finds here an expression worthy of its nobility.

Vinification
The twenty-five-year-old Riesling vines from Domaine Einhart grow on the muschelkalk (oolitic limestone) soils of the Kreutzweg area. The grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed directly. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. Aging on fine lees is ten months in century-old beer barrels (an Alsatian specialty) and precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, Riesling was produced without any additives or sulfites.

Tasting
A beautiful orange-yellow color. The first nose is very delicate, slightly musky, with notes of grapefruit and dandelion flower. The second nose is fresher and mineral with aromas of thyme, aromatic herbs, and flint. The palate begins with vivacity and a beautiful verticality, a minerality typical of limestone. The finish is persistent and saline. Decanting is recommended so that Riesling can spread its wings and express its mineral notes. You can serve this gem from the Einhart estate with any kind of dish; it is easy-going, but it also pairs well with cheese, roast poultry, sauerkraut, or smoked fish.

Learn more about the Einhart estate
In the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines grow in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, or shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone).

A family estate
Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products, and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic (Ecocert and AB) since 2011. The estate produces white wines from maceration or direct pressing and a Pinot Noir red.

The best of Alsatian terroirs
Entirely manual harvests, destemming of the bunches, light punching down, and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees, and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are pure grapes, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of these very beautiful terroirs in the Vosges foothills.
