Beaujolais-Villages Perdrix Rouge Alexis de Benoist 2010 75cl
Varietal: Gamay Noir
Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.
Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais.
The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character. Anxious to preserve the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring traditional agriculture and farming methods linked to observation.
In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The grapes are thus harvested healthy, at maturity and remain intact on arrival at the vat room for vinification in whole bunches.
The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while retaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.

Harvest / Sorting the harvest in the vineyard with the pickers
Vinification / Between 5 and 10 days of maceration in vats, followed by fermentation between 24 and 28°C
Aging period / 6 months in vats

Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Joseph Drouhin 2020 75CL
With 80 hectares, Domaine Joseph Drouhin is one of the largest in the region. It is distributed throughout Burgundy: Chablis (38 hectares), Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, (38.5 hectares), Côte Chalonnaise (3.5 hectares), and comprises a majority of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, planted of the two Burgundy grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Location: Les Clos is the largest and arguably most famous climat in Chablis, located between Valmur to the west and Blanchot to the east. Its exposure gives the wine a characteristic generosity and power.
History & traditions: Considered the cradle of Chablis, Les Clos was spotted in the Middle Ages by wine-growing monks. The name “Les Clos” probably evokes the surrounding walls that they had erected to demarcate the plot, which have now disappeared for centuries. It was hit hard by phylloxera at the end of the 1960th century, like the entire region. In the XNUMXs, Robert Drouhin was one of the first owners of Beaune to undertake its rebirth.
Type of soil: The “Kimmeridgian” limestone soil contains countless marine microfossils in a whitish cement, testifying to its oceanic origin hundreds of millions of years ago. This marine characteristic gives Chablis wines a unique and inimitable flavor.

History & traditions: In the 1960s, at a time when the Chablis vineyards were in decline, Robert Drouhin had faith in the potential of this soil which had been ravaged a century earlier by phylloxera. He was among the first Burgundian owners to promote this terroir, producing authentic wines reflecting their geographical origin.
Type of soil: “Kimmeridgian” limestone soil contains billions of marine microfossils in a whitish cement, testifying to its oceanic past several hundred million years old. This marine origin gives Chablis wines a distinct and inimitable flavor.

Since Henri Lurton took the helm in 1992, he has been committed to the mission of producing the best possible wine,
strengthen Brane's position as a second classified growth in 1855.
The Clos des Centenaires estate extends over 7 hectares, nestled in the heart of a hill dotted with rolled pebbles typical of the Villafranchiens region. The arrangement of the vines varies depending on their age and the variety cultivated: the young plants are arranged from north to south on a slope facing south-southwest, with a trellising system, while the older vines (Grenache , Syrah and Cinsault) are planted in cups on an east-west oriented slope, thus benefiting from an east-southeast exposure.
Located less than 2 km as the crow flies from the ponds of the Petite Camargue Nature Reserve and less than 20 km from the Mediterranean, our vineyard enjoys a climate of exceptional mildness and regularity. The prevailing winds, such as the Mistral from the north, and the thermal breezes, notably from the south-southwest and the sea breeze, contribute to a remarkable precocity of budburst and to temperate summers. This combination promotes a long period of progressive ripening of the grapes, thus providing ideal conditions for their optimal development.
