View Inomessiniaki's Producer Page Inomessiniaki 2023 Mati Fortuna Moschofilero Moschofilero is a wonderful grape, with its hauntingly piercing floral scent, moderate body and fine acidity. It has more than a passing resemblance to fine Gelber Muskateller, and Mantinia is acknowledged to be the place in Greece where it shows its greatest possible expression.

View Frontonio's Producer Page Frontonio 2021 El Casetero Garnacha ORGANIC Just to the northwest of Valdejalón, and enjoying a similar climate and topography, strongly influenced by the cold, north-eastern cierzo winds, this IGP styles itself the “Empire of Garnacha”. With good reason! We were frankly stunned by the price-quality ratio of this entry-level wine. Produced from dry-farmed, head-pruned vines and fermented with indigenous yeasts, this shows the ripe, plummy and spicy side of the grape, with good freshness and length. It is dangerously grapy and gulpable in the new vintage.

Paul Louis Eugène We recently paid a return visit to Paul Durand and were elated by what we tasted. Andrew Jefford describes him as a “peasant philosopher” (a sobriquet that Paul happily accepts), and also says, aptly, that “there is no more interesting person in the world of wine”. Paul is a man of his region, speaking a wonderfully eloquent French in the heavy accent of the south-west. Devoted to the heritage of the Languedoc, he is nonetheless not above making wines from utterly non-traditional grapes if he feels that they have a statement to make about his terroirs. His life in recent years has not been easy, but he has emerged from his troubles with a clarity of vision and a modest determination that translate into wines of unabashed power, endowed nonetheless with a grace and poise that are almost unheard-of in this region. Ever his own man, he was one of the very first producers in France to shun the Appellation Contrôlée system and make only “Vins de Table”. He has essentially reinvented himself by planting vines in long-abandoned vineyards buried deep in the nooks and crannies of his beloved Minervois hills. Without any special efforts on his part (he is somewhat averse to the hurly-burly of commerce), his wines have developed a cult following amongst a small band of cognoscenti. It is our confident belief that Americans will be added to their numbers when they experience these unique wines for the first time. 1/0 Producer: Paul Louis Eugène Country: France Region: Bordeaux Subregion: Siran Download Info Sheet Property History: History of the property Owner History: History of the property Wines By Paul Louis Eugène Paul Louis Eugène 2007 Trois Pommes View Wine Paul Louis Eugène 2006 Canto Pebre View Wine

View Léguillette-Romelot's Producer Page Léguillette-Romelot N.V. "Cepages d'Autrefois" Brut This latest iteration of the wine formally known as “Festival” draws heavily on the arcane varieties planted in the Clos du Montdorin, a small vineyard situated right at the winery. As such, it is impossible to dismiss comparisons with Aubry. But it stands on its own feet by dint of its seething mass of flavours - white fruits, citrus, salt – and its prodigious length on the palate. It is dosed at 6.5 gm.. It is a blend of 82% 2017 and 18% 2016, vintages that imbue the wine with uncommon nervosity and cut.

View Eladio Pineiro's Producer Page Eladio Pineiro Frore de Carme 2018 Brut Nature This is the second vintage of this “ancestral method” sparkler made by Eladio (to call it a PetNat does not do justice to its stature). Like everything else he makes, it derives much of its character from a prolonged exposure to the lees during a tirage of more than three years. But the wine also enjoys a long maceration on the skins before bottling, which imparts a beguiling golden hue. It is disgorged, so cloudiness is avoided. The resulting wine has real grandeur and texture, with Albariño’s characteristic mineral expression and splendid acidity.

Fragas do Lecer Monterrei’s distinction as a D.O. lies partly in its prevailing granitic soils, but also in its climate, which features extreme diurnal temperature ranges, that can reach 30 degrees Celsius in the dog days of summer.

Our low yields are the natural outcome of old, deep-rooted vines that sit on a stony soil of ancient riverbed and garrigue. Coupled with the Mediterranean climate of long, hot, dry summers and the rot-inhibiting Mistral wind, our vineyard is the perfect environment for berry maturation, giving a pure expression of terroir. Lunatique is our prestige cuvee made from a parcel of Grenache planted in 1910. It is only made in exceptional years and has extended ageing potential. VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand-harvested into small containers, then crushed but not destemmed. Wild yeast fermentation and maceration for 4 weeks in open barrels (600L demi muid). The mature stems have been kept in order to naturally aerate the must during fermentation, allowing us to bring different nuances of tannin and acidity to the wine. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in aged French oak demi-muid for 30 months. Hand bottled at the Domaine by gravity and without filtration. Minimal sulphite addition. TASTING NOTES: Colour: Deepest garnet. Nose: Ripe black fruits, plum pudding and warm spices. Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with dark berry flavours carrying on from the nose, evolving to hints of coffee and black forest gateau. Excellent balance and well-structured tannins, coupled with a pleasing freshness, give this wine great length. WINE AND FOOD MATCHING: Serve at 17°C. After decanting, enjoy this fine wine with wild boar ragout, braised venison, slow roasted lamb, mature cheeses or rich chocolate desserts. All Dom. Rouge-Bleu Wines Dom.
