Octave White 2018

Sous le Végétal

Octave because okto (eight), eight terraces of four terroirs. This dry white conveys the mineral expression of the rocks present on the island and constitutes a good synthesis of its pedological profile. Schist, limestone, quartz, and volcanic rocks on the eight selected plots. The schist brings salinity, the quartz freshness (acidity), the volcanic rocks austerity, and the limestone tension. The iodine aromas of the Muscat are elegant, avoiding the heavy side of the grape variety. A complex and taut wine, prolonged by a mineral finish. Decanting is recommended to allow it to flourish.

Where?
Villages of Pagondas and Platanos, on the foothills of Mount Karvounis, and on Mount Karvounis itself. Schist, limestone, quartz, and basalt soils.

Vinification without aeration or stabilization, only settling, pumping over and topping up are carried out. Vinification in 500-liter Stockinger barrels.

Chiroubles Red 2017

Damien Coquelet

A very seductive cuvée, devilishly Beaujolais, Chiroubles to the max, where the Gamay expresses all its freshness and red and black fruits. The nose offers aromas of red and black fruits; the palate is supple, delicious, round, and fruity with a lovely refreshing acidity. Pair it with good stews or the best country hams; even pata negra will melt with pleasure.
