Pinot Noir grape variety

P Red 2022

Patrick Bouju

With the initialed cuvées (trading cuvées) of master Patrick Bouju, we are all beginning to learn our alphabet. Here, in the presence of this supple, deep, mineral, and complex wine, we have the letter P. P is for Pinot Noir, and not just any Pinot Noir! A Pinot Noir from vines growing on the legendary Gergovie plateau, where long ago Vercingetorix won a memorable victory. Now, it is the vine that triumphs on the beautiful basalt soils of this volcanic region of Puy-de-Dôme. The harvest is macerated in whole bunches and vinified with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. In any case, it's very good, it tastes wonderful, and it's perfect for any occasion.

Near Billom, the Limagne clermontoise rises eastward to form a hilly area with a mild climate, dominated by volcanic hills. This is the Auvergne Tuscany, so named because of its resemblance to the Italian province. This land of mixed subsistence farming was once covered in vines and was the preferred domain of Gamay d'Auvergne, a robust ancient strain, the origin of dense, deep, and fruity wines. This is where Patrick Bouju cultivates and vinifies, on these high-quality volcanic soils and mainly on old vines. The soils vary between basalt, limestone, clay-limestone, and pozzolan. Patrick collects and cares for the best terroirs of Puy-de-Dôme, often abandoned, and gives them new life. He also preserves native grape varieties, of which he cultivates a good fifty, and also works as a wine merchant using purchased organic grapes. The current renaissance of the Auvergne vineyard (which was once the third largest in France) owes a lot to Patrick. The fact that he likes to lend a hand to his winegrower friends in France and elsewhere only confirms his image as a model, a leader. His partnerships are famous: with Action Bronson for the A la Natural series, with Jason Ligas in Greece for Sous le Végétal… Patrick practices long macerations, and the wines rest for up to six months after bottling. Very sensitive to sulfites in wines, Patrick has found that his own wines do very well without them. He has also observed that if the grapes are healthy and concentrated, the balance is achieved on its own, regardless of the successive phases a vintage goes through. His noble, chiseled, distinguished, never bland wines are immediately recognizable in the glass. They are straight, clean, precise, often marked by floral notes and a spicy minerality. They also constitute a formidable anthology of the terroirs and ancient vines of Basse-Auvergne and its volcanic soils.

Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris Red 2019,

Frédéric Cossard

This Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris 2019, by Frédéric Cossard, is a pure and unique interpretation of this exceptional Côte Chalonnaise appellation. Through an entirely natural approach and qvevri vinification, it reveals a rare expression of Pinot Noir, marked by finesse and depth.

The Mercurey AOC enhanced by qvevri vinification

Located in Burgundy, the Mercury AOC is one of the most prestigious in the Côte Chalonnaise, renowned for its reds elegant and structured. Here, Frédéric Cossard goes further by exploring an ancestral method: fermentation and aging in buried terracotta jars, as in Georgia. This bold choice promotes gentle micro-oxygenation, giving the wine a velvety texture and great aromatic purity.

A natural, full-bodied, and refined Pinot Noir

Produced through whole-bunch maceration, this Mercurey reveals a complex nose of morello cherries, black fruits, and delicate notes of roasted. On the palate, it impresses with its sap, fullness and density, supported by tannins of remarkable finesse. The clay-limestone terroir provides balance and freshness, while a year of aging in qvevri refines its airy character.

A wine for gastronomy and aging

Served at 16-18°C, this Mercurey will pair wonderfully with a grilled rib-eye steak, beef fillet en croute, or roast duck. Natural, with no added sulfites, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit or aged for 5 to 10 years to reveal its full complexity. A rare and sought-after wine, a testament to the talent of Frédéric Cossard.

Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris Red 2020,

Frédéric Cossard

Fresh, wild, and intense, this Mercurey is definitely a pleasure to drink with abandon. Morello cherries, black fruits, cherry, raspberry, and complexity on the nose give way to floral, then mineral and roasted notes. On the palate, there is plenty of sap, fullness, and density, with silky, melted tannins of great finesse, completely devoid of harshness. The finish is long, fruity, and distinguished. Les Vignes Blanches is a Mercurey vineyard where Frédéric Cossard is producing his third vintage. For the occasion, the winemaker vinified and aged it in qvevri (a Georgian-style buried jar), which rounds it out and accentuates its velvety texture and depth. Perfect for entrecôte, filet of beef en croûte, and roast duck.

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 wine-growing 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 domaine de Chassorney 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.

Champagne Fleur d'Etoile Extra-Brut White non-vintage,

Champagne Fleury

Fleur d'étoile is a zero-dosage extra-brut vinified without sulfur. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 228-liter Burgundy barrels and aging is 99 months on slats. The result is a ripe and distinguished champagne, a textured wine with a brilliant color with golden yellow highlights, very emblematic of the Aube terroir. The nose, clean and aromatic, offers floral and vinous aromas. The attack on the palate confirms the balance, the mid-palate is characterized by freshness and acidity, and the finish offers aromas of citron peel with a nice bitterness. To serve it at the table, think of a galette des Rois filled with almond cream with candied citrus peel, aged comté cheese, or fine dishes in sauce (fish or poultry with yellow wine).

To find out more

Four generations of winemakers have succeeded one another at the head of Maison Fleury, a pioneer of biodynamics and natural wine in Champagne. Organic farming has been practiced for around thirty years with Demeter and Biodyvin certifications, and the vines have not seen any herbicides for fifty years. Fleury stands out for its organic and natural vintages, typical of the Côte des Bar, where Pinot Noir dominates, the main grape variety in this Fleur d'étoile vintage, with a touch of Chardonnay. The vines grow mainly on Kimmeridgian limestone, with a few plots on calcareous marl.

Volnay Qvevris Red 2020,

Domaine de Chassorney

The nose reveals beautiful notes of red fruits (strawberry), spices, and candied fruits. On the palate, it reveals warmth and power, with floral aromas and a great minerality on the finish. This warm, straightforward wine from the Volnay appellation, with notes of red and black fruits, is balanced and lively on the palate, with lovely, gently spicy notes. It comes from old Pinot Noir vines growing at the bottom of the slopes, on dense, stony soils of ferruginous red clay and limestone. The plots are steep, facing west-southeast and located between 230 and 280 meters above sea level. The vines are worked on horseback, respecting the soil and the earth. The harvest is manual and is carried out when the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Aging in qvevri (buried Georgian-style terracotta jars) further develops the wine's velvety texture and depth.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC, an exceptional terroir

Renowned for its structured and expressive wines, the Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC offers powerful and distinguished reds with long aging potential. The Charmottes plot, located on deep clay-limestone soils, gives this wine a beautiful concentration and a satiny feel.

Beaune Les Chardonnereux Qvevris Red 2020,

Frédéric Cossard

This is a magnificent red wine from Beaune with dark harmonies: blueberry, black fruits, black cherry, alongside aromas of red rose petals and fresh violets. It is a calm and elegant wine, endowed with elegant richness and admirable fruit concentration, in which the slight astringency of well-evolved tannins blends gracefully. It comes from a plot of land that has been cultivated organically for three years and faces south. This Chardonnereux plot is known for ensuring early ripening of the grapes. To highlight the minerality of this red Beaune, Frédéric Cossard decided to ferment and age it in qvevri, a Georgian-style buried jar. Aging in qvevri lasts twelve months, after a month and a half of fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The passage in qvevri is preceded by a three-month passage in stainless steel vats.

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.

Burgundy Bedeau red 2022

Fréderic Cossard

Bedeau is an organic and natural red wine from Frédéric Cossard in the AOC/AOP Bourgogne region. While a "generic" red Burgundy, it perfectly evokes the character of its appellation and is suitable for all occasions. This is the red counterpart to the Bigotes cuvée.

Vinification

Bedeau is made from Pinot Noir vines grown on clay-limestone soils, on forty-year-old plots in Volnay and the surrounding area, as well as a plot of fifty-year-old vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The harvest is macerated in whole bunches.

Tasting

The nose is fresh, natural, evocative of tangy red fruits (morello cherry, plum, redcurrant). Bedeau is a beautiful, delicious and refined Pinot Noir, bursting with fresh, tangy and satiny fruit with a touch of insolence to enhance the whole. Lively and voluminous on the palate, spicy, with velvety and well-integrated tannins. Pair it with Red Meats, charcuterie, freshwater fish matelotes in red wine or beefstewed in sauce.
