CROZES HERMITAGE BLACK ETOILE DOMAIN MELODY 2020
Now unavoidable, the vintage Etoile Noire comes from vines older than 50 years and raised for a year. The Black Star 2018 is a balanced and powerful wine at the same time, offering beautiful aromas of ripe fruit and black cherry. A great success.
The vineyard is planted on 3 very different types of soil:
The objective of the domain is toexpress the authenticity of the terroirs, this involves different approaches: - A reasoned fight for phytosanitary treatments: contact products such as Sulfur and Copper are preferred
- The use of organic fertilizers - The absence of weed killers and soil cultivation throughout the vineyard for balanced vines - Naturally controlled yields
- Manual harvesting with a first sorting at the plot

RIVESALTES RED DOMAINE CASENOBE 1977 75CL
Bottling in 2017
The AOC Rivesaltes defines a natural sweet wine (VDN). It is produced near the town of Rivesaltes, over a large part of the Pyrénées Orientales. The appellation covers 5200 hectares and produces approximately 127 hectoliters per year. The climate is like in all of Roussillon, of the Mediterranean type. The territory of this AOC is crossed by three rivers, the Agly, the Têt and the Tech, which have drawn a relief composed of stepped terraces and hills, with various types of soil: pebbles, granite, clays and silts as well as shales.
All the wines of this AOC must undergo mutage, a process initiated by Arnau de Vilanova (Arnaud de Villeneuve) in the 96th century which consists of stopping the alcoholic fermentation of the must by adding wine alcohol at a minimum of XNUMX°. This traditional operation, which characterizes Vins Doux Naturels (VDN), makes it possible to better preserve the sugars and enhance the natural aromas specific to the grape varieties used. The Rivesaltes are produced with four main grape varieties: Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Grenache Noir, Maccabeu, and two accessory grape varieties which are Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and Muscat d'Alexandrie.
The name of the Rivesaltes appellation wines may be supplemented by the words "amber" (aging in an oxidative medium for a minimum of two years), "garnet" (minimum 75% Grenache noir and storage in a reducing medium for a minimum of 12 months, including 3 in bottles), “tuilé” (ageing in contact with air for a minimum of two years) and “out of age” (for amber and tuilé Rivesaltes aged for a minimum of 5 years). White Rivesaltes are amber in color as they age with an aroma of vanilla, cooked cherry or honey. Red Rivesaltes are more potent and can be kept much longer.
CONDRIEU SAINT COSME 2019
100% Viognier. Granitic arenas. Eight months old. Breeding 40% in pieces of a wine - 30% in pieces of two wines - 40% in pieces of three wines. Condrieu leaves no amateur indifferent. We like or we do not like Condrieu. There is no half-measure, it's a fact. But it is a paradox that I have trouble understanding. Condrieu is criticized for being a wine difficult to marry with food. The good deal: it is precisely because it is difficult to marry that it is a great wine of gastronomy. Its strong identity opens fertile paths in the gastronmie but it does not support the approximation. From this point of view, I would like to compare it to the yellow wine of the Jura, which is the wine of gastronomy par excellence but which is "marriageable" with few products. However, just be a little daring: forget the sugar on a poached foie gras and replace it by the maturity of Condrieu. Or try the Condrieu on a Stilton, the pinnacle remaining the Condrieu with the bouillabaisse: certainly a dish that is not cooked every day but everything deserves. Our 2017 comes with its usual depth and nice bitters that contribute to the freshness of the wine. Salinity is still there, deploying the granitic mineral of our soils. The "white wine" version of Cote Rotie is, like its alter ego, a great wine of maturity. There are no great wines without ripe grapes: this simply does not exist. Fennel, licorice, elderberry, old rose, anise.
COTES DU RHONE VILLAGE BLANC SABLET 2019 DOMAINE DES ESPIERS
Grape variety: 100% Clairette
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The vineyard now covers 9,5 hectares including 3 to Gigondas, 4 en Cotes du Rhone et 2,5 en Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Sablet. The grape variety is largely dominated by the main 3 Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in struggle and receive no chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the soil and the environment, with yields particularly lower than 35 hl / ha.
Harvesting is manual for traditional winemaking and aging in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to produce robust, gourmet but also refined wines.
CÔTES DU JURA RED TRIO DOMAINE BERTHET BONDET 2016
Made from 45% of trousseau, 45% of poulsard and 10% of pinot noir, this wine is characterized by its lightness and complex aromas between red fruits and animal character. It can be kept for 5 years and must be served at 14 ° on cold cuts, smoked meats, grilled meats or dishes combining salty and sweet (white meat and cooked fruits for example).
CÔTES DU JURA UNDER SAIL DOMAINE BERTHET BONDET 2018
Grape Chradonnay / Savagnin
These wines are aged for two years in 228L oak barrels, the containers never being filled. (Under veil)
Through evaporation, the level drops in the barrel and a veil of yeast forms on the surface of the wine which protects it from direct oxidation and gives it very specific aromas.
Côtes du Jura Savagnin Domaine Berthet Bondet 2018 75 cl
Made from the Savagnin grape variety alone, this wine is aged for three years in barrels under veil. Often less opulent than the traditional, it combines finesse and character. It will reveal itself better after a few years, its aging can be twenty to thirty years. The food and wine pairings can be those of Tradition or those of Château-Chalon.
DOMAINE BERTHET BONDET STRAW WINE 2018
The blend of Chardonnay, Savagnin and Poulsard grape varieties can vary from one year to another depending on the yield and health status of each grape variety. Likewise, the duration of drying - on racks and in the attic - and the date of pressing can vary depending on the initial richness of the grapes. A duration of 3 months is the most common. After aging for three years in barrels, the wine obtains its structure and is based on a balance between 14 to 15% alcohol and 90 to 100 grams of residual sugar per liter. The wine then develops a rich aromatic palette mainly on dried and jammy fruits: grapes, apricot, quince...
VOLNAY 1ER CRU MITANS NICOLAS ROSSIGNOL 2018
Winegrower in Volnay
Nicolas Rossignol was born in 1974 and represents the 5 generation of vine growers on the terroirs of Volnay. After a technical training acquired at the Viticultural High School of Beaune between 1989 and 1994, he put into practice his knowledge acquired during various internships like the Domaine JOSEPH VOILLOT in Volnay or the Domaine du VIEUX TELEGRAPHE in Chateauneuf du Pape, and began vinification on the family estate ROSSIGNOL JEANNIARD.
Anxious to master other techniques of cultivation and breeding, he went to win in South Africa Domaine BOSCHENDAL in 1995 and Bordeaux in Château LA CARDONNE governed by Château LAFITE ROTHSCHILD. It was not long before he created his own estate in 1997 with a surface of 3 Hectares distributed in the communes of VOLNAY, POMMARD, BEAUNE, ALOXE CORTON and PERNAND VERGELESSES, while continuing the vinification and marketing of the wines of Domaine Familial ROSSIGNOL JEANNIARD

The Domain NICOLAS ROSSIGNOL currently operates 6 ha 25 which gives a total area of exploitation areas of nearly 16 ha.
COTEAUX DU LYONNAIS RED BENOIT MAILLARD 2021
Reserve of the Grand Prior
In the XNUMXth century, the Abbey of Savigny used to collect a tithe in kind from its farmers. As a fine connoisseur, Benoît Maillard, one of the most famous priors of the Abbey thanks to his work as a historian and whose writings have allowed us to better understand the life of the abbey at that time, "reserved" the best cuvées for the consumption of the Abbot and his distinguished guests.
The selected plots are placed in the commune of Savigny where the enclosure of the abbey stood, of which only a fortified tower remains today. The terroir of Savigny offers sandy crystalline soils covering in places basalt rocks.
The raisins, from the Gamay grape variety, are defined when ripe. The harvest is then partially destemmed and benefits from a long vatting period of 8 to 10 days. After pressing part of the cuvée continues its fermentation and aging in oak barrels (barrels of 2 to 3 wines). A more fruity base is also kept in vats.
The aging lasts 7 to 8 months in vats and oak barrels in order to obtain a round wine offering a subtle alliance between notes of stone fruits and silky tannins. After bottling, the Réserve du Grand Prieur allows itself a rest of at least 30 days before being marketed.
It can be kept while improving for 3 to 5 years.
COTEAUX DU LYONNAIS ALIGOTE AGAMY 2022
Born from ancient lands, the vineyard of the Cave des Coteaux du Lyonnais extends over 230 Ha of vines planted with Gamay, for the reds and rosés, and with Chardonnay and Aligoté for the whites. The cellar produces 60% of the wines of the appellation and is the only one to have plots in each municipality of the appellation area.
The selection of plots is spread over all the communes of the appellation. The soils are sometimes stony, sometimes sandy or sandy-loamy.
As soon as they are harvested, the grapes, made from the Aligoté grape variety, are delicately pressed. Vinification and aging take place in thermo-regulated vats. The malolactic fermentation thus ends naturally at the beginning of spring. The wine is then bottled to preserve all its freshness.
CÔTES DE PROVENCE CHÂTEAU MINUTY PINK AND GOLD 2022

Gevrey Chambertin René Bouvier 2021 75cl
Winemaker at Gevrey Chambertin
The René Bouvier estate is a family house created in 1910 by the grandfather of Bernard Bouvier, current master on board with his wife. The farm covers 13 hectares in pinot noir and 4 in chardonnay for a total of 18 appellations in Burgundy , Côtes-de-Nuits-Villages , Fixin , Marsannay et Gevrey-Chambertin , including Premiers and Grands Crus.
The vineyard is managed in sustainable agriculture and is the subject of a conversion to organic farming, with tillage, disbudding, green harvesting, harvesting and manual sorting. In 2006, the estate inaugurated a new 1 m² vat room, the care taken in vinification and aging making it a sure value in the Burgundy .
When we ask Bernard Bouvier what a good wine is, he replies that "it's a wine that makes you salivate, that makes you want to finish the bottle you have uncorked." Far from marketing, he prefers to evoke the expression of vintages and terroirs, and rejects a certain standardization of wines. This search for quality associated with respect for the terroir defines the Bouvier touch: round and powerful wines with perfectly tamed tannins.
