The VILLA RAIANO Estate is located in IRPINA in southern Italy.
27 hectare property
White wine produced only with Greco grapes from three different vineyards located in as many municipalities of the province of Avellino and precisely: Montefusco, Tufo and Altavilla Irpina. The bunches are harvested manually and transported to the winery in small crates to avoid crushing the berries. The grapes are gently pressed in whole bunches to obtain the flowery must. Vinification and aging on fine lees for 4 months take place entirely in steel vats.
Vat vinification.
SAVENNIERES BELLEVUE 2019 DOMAINE PATRICK BAUDOUIN
Today, Domaine Patrick Baudouin has thirteen and a half hectares of vines in production. Ten hectares of Chenin, three and a half of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, in the communes of Chaudefonds sur Layon, Saint Aubin de Luigné and Rochefort sur Loire (Quart de Chaume). Patrick also planted one hectare of Savennières in 2009.
The Estate undertook to convert all its vines to organic farming in 2002. Any new plot rented or purchased is immediately converted, if it is not already organic.
Since 1997 they resumed tillage, then abandoned chemical weedkillers, and from 2001 they no longer used synthetic treatment products. In the cellar, since 1994, no more wine from the Domaine has been chaptalized ("sweetened", as the ancients said), by limiting sulfur to a minimum.
In the vineyard, certified organic farming, constant search for the best human labor / biotope ratio, for a non-destructive, sustainable culture.
CAYRELIERES WINE OF FRANCE JEAN LIGNIRES 2020
Grenache from the new cuvée les Cayrelières from Chateau La Baronne is a 100% Grenache cuvée with no added sulphur.
The story of the Lignères family is that of doctors who have wine in their veins! The next generation of André, a general practitioner and Suzette, a pharmacist, was assured by their children, Jean, a village doctor like his father in Moux, and his wife Anne, Paul, dentist, and Geneviève, pharmacist-biologist. the Lignères Family's links with the world of wine go back to the 16th century in the villages of Fontcouverte and Moux. Louis Lignères founded the Maison de Vins in 1890 and it was in 1957 that Suzette and André Lignères acquired La Baronne.
A team of passionate people serving the terroir of the Montagne d'Alaric. In the wines of La Baronne, they try to translate this respect and passion, by practicing a biological culture highlighting the terroir of this privileged region of Languedoc - Roussillon.
At La Baronne, Languedoc's traditional grape varieties have always been in the limelight ... but the Lignères family has a penchant for Carignan. Magnify the expression, convey the finesse and elegance of this emblematic grape of the region in wines is a constant challenge.

Method of cultivation: vine cultivated in biodynamics certified DEMETER by ECOCERT.
In 1155, the monks of Bèze had built at this place a chapel called Clos de Bèze because it was facing him and was therefore on the east side of the path that goes from Gevrey to Morey. A portico spanned even the path from east to west.
This chapel was dedicated to Our Lady.
Fallen into disuse in XVth century, it is rebuilt in 1547 by the vine growers. It is Philibert de Beaujeu, bishop of Bethlehem, who dedicates again the 4 July. She was shaved after the Revolution of 1789.
The locality was initially named Sous la Chapelle (the first mention date of 1457), with a High and a Low part.
The Chapel is on a slightly declining area. It is one of the most solar and early sectors of finage Grands Crus.
The situation of the plot is just below Chambertin.
The exhibition is perfect in the Levant.
Its soil is brown, stony and very shallow. At about 30 cm, there is a band of limestone rocks (called lava) which sometimes outcrop. The lavas are flat, gray limestone slabs; they were once used to cover the roofs of houses and churches. Similar roofs can still be found in Burgundy today.
A low slope ensures excellent natural drainage thanks to permeable white limestone scree that line this remarkable plot.
The low thickness of the soil and its rather warm nature lead to La Chapelle-Chambertin a portly and sensual wine, with finesse and elegance, always with great aromatic richness and exceptional density.
The average age of the vines is 60 years (the first plantations date from 1930) and planted only in fine Pinot Noir from mass selection with a planting density of 12 500 plants / ha.
The Chapelle-Chambertin appellation brings together two localities under its name, “Chapelle” proper and “Les Gémeaux”.
Less solar than upper chapel (in a slightly deeper soil), Gemini gives fleshier wines, very dense, tannins a little more formed.
Only this Domain owns these two parcels and is able today to diffuse an assembly of Gemini and Chapel.
Varietal: Pinot Noir.
Family owned: 4 ha
Cultivation method: vines grown biodynamically certified DEMETER by ECOCERT.
The parcels grouped in the Vieilles Vignes cuvée of Gevrey-Chambertin come from three different situations:
– The vines furthest north of the village at places called “En Combe” and “Clos de Combe” are quite deep and clayey plots, on a regular slope, which produce sappy, dense and robust wines.
– The plots further east and closer to the estate, at places called Les Crais, Justice, Grandes Raies, are made up of colluvium from the Combe de Lavaux which overlooks Gevrey-Chambertin. These soils, very gently sloping, gravelly and very filtering, produce wines of finesse and elegance.
– The vines located to the south of Gevrey-Chambertin (at places called “Clos de l'Arche”, “Fourneaux”, “Croix des Champs”) are on fairly loamy soil and on limestone bedrock. They produce wines with great complexity and great aromatic power.
The blending and bottling of the wines come from these different terroirs, with vines whose average age is around 50 years, resulting in a single vintage of Gevrey-Chambertin at the Domaine.
Each plot brings its qualities to the entire vintage.
Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil La Croisée Domaine de la Cotelleraie 2022 75 cl
The Vallée family has been established for several centuries on the best wine-growing sites of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil. Currently, four generations live in the village: the grandmother Denise Vallée Moreau, the father Claude Vallée and Gérald, the grandson and son. Bertille, Gérald's daughter, was born on the first day of that famous heatwave in August 2003. Gérald took over in 1997. The estate extends over 26 hectares shared between the gravels of the terrace, the siliceous limestones of the low hillside and the gravelly hills of the Loire Valley. This is where the vines of prestigious places flourish like: Les Mauguerets, La Cotelleraie, La Mineraie, Le Vau Jaumier, Les Perruches... The cultivation of vines is ancestral as evidenced by the numerous Gallo-Roman remains ( villas, Roman roads, amphorae). It evolves with man and with generations. In 2004 the manual harvest was carried out on the entire estate. Then came the pleasure of welcoming beautiful bunches of grapes into the cellars. Thermoregulated vats are undeniable progress for the successful vinification of larger volumes and their storage. Four small vintages are transported into wooden vats, which means punching down by foot during fermentation. They will give L’Envol. In 2002 the barrel cellar and in 2003 the barrel cellar were completely restored, in 2004 it was the turn of the old barrel cellar: tufa stone, rubble stones, beams and oak and chestnut flooring. They arbitrate the oak barrels. For a year, the beautiful vintages evolve there. In 2004 the manual harvest was carried out on the entire estate.
