A grand cru parcel of slate (rich in iron content) situated to the right of the Marienburg. Clemens considers it a 1er Cru and does not make a GG from it. That said, he dubs it the "Rheingau from the Mosel" by Clemens for its baroque minerality. Nonnengarten "Fass 29" is a special barrel selection...

Grapes for this cuvée are harvested on the steepest terraces of the Fahrlay grand cru, a volcanic formation of blue slate that is hundreds of millions of years old. The Terrassen (terraces) cuvee is always slightly "sweeter" than the GG from here.  

Full of deliciously ripe pear and berry fruit, just juicy enough, just slatey enough, just EVERYTHING enough! Sourced from cooler sites higher up the slope of the Marienburg, it usually hovers in the 30-40g R/S range in any given year, but zoomed up to 58g/l. Marked in this vintage by exotic...

Available in 12/375ml only. Extremely limited.  

From predominantly ungrafted vines on gray slate, the Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Raffes is a rich and powerful yet elegant and balanced Riesling with great tension, juice and expression. The finish is very long and complex. This is a great dry Mosel Riesling coming from the best part of the...

”From grey slate,” sourced from the same sites that supply Clemens’ GG wines. Stone dust and lemon/lime flavors surge through the nose and palate in a wine of extremely fine purity and energy.

From 30 year old vines planted on grantic slopes ten miles from the Atlantic ocean in Pontevedra. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation, aged on the lees for 12 to 18 months in vats. 2500 cases produced.

100% Grenache. From 80+-year-old vines on classic sandy, gravelly soils laden with the stones known as galets roulés.  They are planted in a flat, north-facing parcel in the lieu-dit of Bois Sénéchaux and are certified organic.

50% Grenache/30% Cinsault/20% Clairette. Mainly from vines planted on a south-facing slope on granite soils in the warm St-Julien en St-Alban zone (in the Ardèche on the northern bank of the Ouvèze--to the west of the Rhône River, at the southern edge of the northern Rhône Valley). Some of the...

50% Bourbolenc/50%Clairette. Eric Texier has worked closely for many years with Jean Riché, the owner/farmer of this small plot of organic vines which lie 1 km. from the Rhône River in the lieu-dit of Bois Sénéchaux.  The north-facing site is flat and stony with the classic glacial galets roulés ...

100% Syrah.  From 70+ year-old vines of an old, pre-clonal variety known as "Serine", planted on a south-facing, limestone marl slope of the Brézème zone (on eastern side of the Rhône River at the southern edge of the northern Rhône Valley). They are organically farmed and harvested by hand. The...

From declassified fruit from Savigny-Les-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. Destemmed. Though 2016 produced some excellent wines, it was a trying vintage, not least because of the devastating frost of April 26-27. Gelée Royale (Royal Frost) is an assemblage of the hard hit crus in Savigny and Pernand-...

This cuvée comes from four parcels which total 1.12 hectare, situated mid-slope and spread in homogenous fashion over the whole appellation, giving a nice typicity of Bressandes. The soils are deep and made up in equal parts of limestone and clay, giving the wine lovely balance and great length on...

Mid-slope and predominantly limestone. Lavières comes from the word “lave” which in this case has no volcanic reference, but was the term used in the past to describe the flat limestone tiles used to cover the roofs. In fact, these famous stones are found here in the sub-soil. The vines are more...

Many argue that Île des Vergelesses should be classified as a Grand Cru. It’s true that in the best years, with it’s eastern exposure and mid-slope location, it behaves as a Grand Cru. Chandon de Briailles has a healthy three hectares planted to pinot noir, located in an area with a nice slope, and...

In Remington Norman and Charles Taylor’s book, The Great Domaines of Burgundy, Les Vergelesses and Île des Vergelesses are described as top sites in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, “wines of weight and structure, capable of aging for twenty years or more.” Les Vergelesses is just below Île,...

Located just below Corton Bressandes, the vineyards have east-southeast exposure; Claude explained that here, you begin to see some similarities to the soil you find in the Cote de Nuits. The soil is red as it is very ferruginous, and you find limestone rocks throughout the vineyard. Chandon de...
