100% Gamay. From 3 hectares of vines in the historic Morgon lieu-dit of Javernières at the foot of the famous hill of the Côte du Py. The soils are much heavier with deep, iron-rich, red clay here versus the more schistous "rotten rock" up the Py hill. The vines are certified-organic, are 40 years...

100% Gamay. This bottling from the celebrated climat of Corcelette is the first Desvignes wine from sourced, organically farmed fruit. Desvignes harvests the fruit by hand from a 0.8-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines on poor, sandy pink granite soils on a south-facing slope (see the dark green...

100% Cabernet Franc. 2020 is the first individual bottling of this particular 1-hectare plot, Mollières, which previously was incorporated into another cuvée. Mollières lies in the extreme west of Chinon, at the highest hillside location of any of Baudry's vines. It is a windy, well-exposed site...

100% Chenin Blanc. From around 1.2 hectares' worth of parcels of 10-20-year-old vines on clay soils featuring limestone and flint. The farming is certified-organic with all vineyard work and harvest done by hand. The whole clusters are pressed slowly and gently, followed by natural settling in tank...

100% Cabernet Franc. Close to the town of Chinon, Clos Guillot is a hillside vineyard with south-southwest exposure, near the top of the hill, with clay soils rich in yellow tuffeau (the soft local limestone) and iron. The vines were planted between 1993 and 2000.  The farming is certified-organic...

100% Chenin Blanc. "Trois Argiles" or "three clays" is named for the 3 parcels of Pinon's most clay-forward soils which go into this demi-sec bottling. They lie on an east-facing plateau and tend to be cooler and slower-ripening thanks to the water-retaining soils. Overall the Pinon vines average...

100% Chenin Blanc. "Buvez du Bon Pinon" is a very special resurrection of a wine by Julien Pinon, starting in the 2020 vintage, in honor of the preceding generations of the family. His great grandfather Camille planted the vines for "Bon Pinon" in 1945 on silex noir or "black flint" soils unique to...

100% Chenin Blanc. Pinon makes two traditional-method sparkling wines, from bunches picked earlier than for the still wines and from the more clay and flint-forward parcels. The vines average 45 years old and have been certified-organic since 2007. For the non-dosé--versus the straight brut--the...

All Vergano products are made by the same process in very small quantities in the Vergano lab in the city of Asti. A botanical extract (concia) is made by macerating carefully sourced herbs, flowers, fruits and spices in a neutral, beet-sugar-based spirit for 20 to 30 days in 30-liter, stainless-...

The Vermouth Sec is brand-new, created by the second generation of Verganos now in charge of the family business and lab in Torino. It differs from the other four Vergano classics in two main ways. It is the first one with a non-Italian wine base, in this case estate Romorantin from their close...

Arneis/Cortese/Sauvignon Blanc/Favorita/Vermentino. The name "Arcese" is a whimsical mash-up of Arneis and Cortese, historically the main base of this field-blend white. Cortese and Arneis are classic Piemontese varieties, in Gavi and the Roero hills respectively; also native to Piemonte, Favorita...

100% Moscato. From organically farmed estate vines averaging 30 years old, planted on south-southeast-facing slopes on sandy calcareous soils. The whole bunches are harvested by hand and gently pressed. The must is settled naturally and fermented slowly with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur in...

100% Moscato. Bianchdusèt is a unique and "accidental" wine. A tank of Moscato destined for Moscato d'Asti went too far in its fermentation to be used for it. The wine was left untouched in the tank, where it fermented to complete dryness over 2 years and developed a layer of flor over its surface...

From a 0.6-hectare parcel in Monforte (Perno), planted in 1998 with western exposure at 390m above sea level. The grapes were destemmed and crushed; fermentation occurred spontaneously in cement vats, with maceration lasting around 20 days with pumpovers. After malolactic, the wine was racked in...

2019 was the debut of Barolo Perno, from the Santo Stefano di Perno sub-section, facing east, with Arenarie di Diano d'Alba sandstones, more sandy than Schiavenza's Serralunga plots. This makes for a somewhat more lithe Barolo. A rare chance to taste a Barolo at 13.5% without losing typicity!

Schiavenza’s 0.9 hectares in the Prapò cru are located at 350m above sea level, with southeast exposure; the vines were planted in 1993.  Of all their crus, this is the one in which the soil is most representative of Serralunga: its high percentage of light-colored limestone naturally limits yields...

Broglio is Schiavenza's largest cru holding, with 1.5ha owned here.  The vineyard is located at 360 meters above sea level with a south-east exposure.  Due to a bit more clay in the topsoil, Broglio is also the most productive site in the Schiavenza range.  To achieve balance and to let the...

Sourced from 2.2 hectares in different vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba, at altitudes of 370-400m. The oldest vines date back to 1965, while the youngest were planted in 2006.
