Evacuated Tuesday from our cute 1924 cabin at #tamaracklodge. No Power was actually welcome for 24hrs but another incoming snow storm left the resort no choice but to close. Cross-Country, back-country skiing and snow-shoeing. Transferred luckily to Mammoth Mountain Inn. Happy New Year everyone!!

Apremont is all about Limestone but Coeur has slate boost, while MK is powered by schistes. Super serious single vineyards by Masson but we can also choose to just giggle ;-)

New from Roc des Anges. Marjorie’s answer to ‘orange’ wines? ‘I prefer to explore wine made under veil, more precision, more interesting to me’. After Cioran, Alquimia makes its debut : Grenache Gris- Macabeu is left 2 years under flor.

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

Of course the wines were insane. Thumbs up to the chefs though, what a dream team! Everything came out so perfectly and vignerons were amazed by the local baguette 😗 #lapaulee #lapauleela
