CONDRIEU LA COMBE DE MALLEVAL 2021 STEPHANE OGIER

Stéphane OGIER winemaker at AMPUIS

Viognier grape variety

It was in 1997 that Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate, rooted for seven generations on the hillsides of Ampuis. By taking over from his father Michel, he chose to do precise work on his different terroirs in order to reveal the unique character of these places full of history.

Over the years, the estate has gone beyond the limits of the village with the desire to discover and sublimate new terroirs. From his experience in Burgundy, Stéphane Ogier retains the taste for elegance and finesse that has become characteristic of his wines. Each year, the winemaker strives to vinify the plots separately, to bring out the best of their potential. The blends are adjusted according to the vintages, like so many stories to tell around its cuvées.

Born in a wine estate in Moselle, he sees his father leading a reasoned culture with a considerate and gentle approach.
Imbued with the values ​​and knowledge of viticulture, he naturally turned to oenology. In Macon, then Beaune, his career will lead him to perpetuate the family business in the northern Rhône valley.

He took his first steps in Tournon-sur-Rhône in the Maison Chapoutier, then, the Domaine du Tunnel of Stéphane Robert for 3 years.

Sylvain Gauthier set out on his own and planted his first Saint-Joseph vine in 2004 in Arras-sur-Rhône.
Born, thus, Le Domaine des Pierres Sèches.

BEAUCASTEL ROUSSANNE OLD VINES 1998

Owner PERRIN Family

Variety 100% Roussanne

A real reference in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel is a model of biodynamics in France. The property consists of a vineyard in one piece on a spectacular floor of pebbles. Beaucastel therefore cultivates the 13 historical grape varieties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape biodynamically. And that leads to 4 wines: the Côte du Rhône (red and white), the Châteauneuf-du-Pape (red and white), the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes and finally, the emblematic "Homage to Jacques Perrin ".
The Perrin family strives each year to produce wines combining power and elegance. Wines marked by aromas of red fruits, blackberry, thyme, spices ... Beaucastel wines offer a supple and fresh mouth, supported by tannins combining finesse and maturity.
It is said that in Beaucastel, one does not undergo the influence of Grenache, one tames it! It is the same for the Mourvèdre of the prestige cuvée which plays a role almost as big as Grenache. It is from this incessant chatter with his environment that the reputation of Beaucastel has been forged.

In the footsteps of Beaucastel Castle

Go back the history of the domain leads us in 1549. That year, Pierre de Beaucastel bought a barn and some land. It is only later that a mansion will be built, the Beaucastel coat of arms carved in stone. Another important date, when in 1687, Pierre de Beaucastel is made Captain of the city of Courthézon by King Louis XIV.

Respect for the earth

It was at the beginning of the last century that Pierre Tramier took over the estate and left it to his son-in-law, Pierre Perrin. Afterwards, Pierre's son, Jacques Perrin, will be able to put the estate in the Châteauneuf elite. With an innovative field that in the 50 years will be converted to organic farming, then in the 70 years, biodynamic will be established with conviction, this vineyard becomes a muse of the great wines of the Rhone Valley.
Today, Jean-Pierre and François, his sons, have taken over the estate. And it is with the 5th generation of the name that the story continues now. Respect for the land has always been the theme of the estate. This philosophy of life has given strength and elegance to highly esteemed wines.

CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE ROUGE OLD VINES DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE 2013

In 1967, Aimé Sabon returned from his military service. He took over the vines from his father (who brought his grapes to the cooperative cellar) and his father-in-law (who sold the wine to the trade).
In 1973, Aimé built his own cellar. Thus was born the Domaine de la Janasse, named after the family farm which was located in Courthézon, at a place called “La Janasse”. Aimé is ambitious. Aware of having a fabulous terroir, he continues to expand the estate by acquiring new plots. From 15 hectares yesterday, La Janasse now occupies 90 hectares.

In 1991, after a BTA in viticulture and oenology in Beaune and a BTS in marketing in Mâcon, Christophe Sabon joined his father who, from the start, left him the keys to the cellar. Under his leadership, La Janasse produces different cuvées, conquers new markets and is firmly in keeping with its time.
In 2001, Isabelle, Christophe's sister, a graduate oenologist from the Faculty of Toulouse, joined the team in 2001. With Hélène, Aimé's wife and Christophe and Isabelle's mother, the family is reunited at La Janasse, which becomes, in a few years, one of the jewels of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

CÔTES DE PROVENCE BLANC 1610 CHATEAU GRAND BOISE 2019 75CL


Grapes:  50% Vermentino, 50% Semillon

On a naturally favorable site, 77 plots of vines are scattered within a vast area of ​​500 hectares on the mountainside.
They form here and there small terraces facing the Sainte-Victoire mountain. The vine has been cultivated there for several centuries.
Patiently, in harmony with nature and the woods that surround him, man walks the paths to cultivate the vine where it gives him the best grapes.
The terroir is that of the new Sainte Victoire appellation, an ecosystem naturally favorable to vines since Roman times. Château Grand Boise is the highest estate there, with vines between 300 and 640 meters.

The combination of altitude with good sunshine makes it possible to obtain wines of great freshness and great balance. No chemical fertilizers or weedkillers are used. The known origins of

La Grand'Boise as a domain dates back to 1610, the date of the oldest property deed found. It was in 1879 that the three estates (Grand'Boise, Cabassude and Les Brunets) united to form one. Traditionally family owned, the estate only changed hands three times in its entire history. Under the impetus of its new owner, a passionate doctor, the estate has very recently been thoroughly renovated. It has equipped itself with efficient and qualitative technical means. The olive-growing activity is revived with 800 olive trees on 3 hectares.

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.
