A few domaines that we are privileged to represent

A few domaines that we are privileged to represent have been cited in ‘The New French Wines’ by @jbonne
We can argue about the selection of course but I tend to look at my glass half full 🍷. In any case, a great read.

‘La Déchirée’. Domaine Jean-Claude Masson. T

‘La Déchirée’. Domaine Jean-Claude Masson. This single vineyard sits right below the famous Mont Granier that collapsed between November 24-25th of 1248 creating its dramatic North side cliff. Most of the large rocks were excavated and ‘La Déchirée’ slope is lower than its surroundings making it visible from far away. The name means ‘torn’ as it is surrounded by thorny blackberry bushes 🗯️🩹

Poured this weekend @freakinalltime

Stunning line-up straight from Comblanchien by @do

Stunning line-up straight from Comblanchien by @domaine_chopin_arnaud . Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vougeot, soon Chambolle-Musigny. Brilliant wines yet low-key winemakers. Bourgogne without attitude. Intro this month in CA and later this year in NY.

50/50 Pinots Meunier/Noir from Vrigny without dosage.

Guillaume told me : ‘for the name Bossa Nova it appeared as an evidence during tasting : Based on a simple and refined rhythm that gives a rich yet refreshing sensation in the mouth, it has a warm, comforting poetic approach, where everything is offered without imposing itself.

To better understand, enjoy Bossa Nova while listening to ‘The Girl from Ipanema’ by Astrud Gilberto.”

I took his advice quite literally.

Rebirth of a forgotten grape, Le Bouysselet blanc

Rebirth of a forgotten grape, Le Bouysselet blanc in Villaudric (Fronton). It all re-started about 12 years ago with 60 pre-phylloxeric vines, re-grafted by Diane and Philippe Cauvin and biodynamic certified. For the first time, we received a few cases of a skin-contact version. Still so much to learn about this varietal…@chateaulacolombiere #bouysselet
