Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussane, from vines of an average age of 20 years, planted on sandy and clay slopes with northern exposure. Each variety is vinified separately. Direct pneumatic press, with a slow, cool fermentation in themo-regulated tanks for 3 to 5 weeks. The wine is then...

50% Grenache and 50% Syrah; half of the grapes for the blend are de-classified Laudun Village and half are just outside the appellation. The terroir of Laudun distinguishes Pélaquié from other southern Rhône appellations. The wines from this side of the river typically have higher acidity, with...

Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussane, from vines of an average age of 20 years, planted on sandy and clay slopes with northern exposure. Each variety is vinified separately. Direct pneumatic press, with a slow, cool fermentation in themo-regulated tanks for 3 to 5 weeks. The wine is then...

White Grenache 20% , Roussanne 20 %, Bourboulenc 20%, Clairette 20 % Picpoul 20%  It’s uncommon to find Bourboulenc in a Châteauneuf Blanc; Alexandre likes it in the blend because it tends to have lower alcohol than the other grapes, and brings acidity and balance to the wine. Fermentation and...

From one of the most well-known sites in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 100% Grenache from the famous Pignan parcel on sandy soils. The vines are 40 years-old. After sorting and only keeping the best fruit, the juice is slowly infused for 18 to 24 days with gentle punchdowns and pumpovers. Aged for 15 to 18...

A blend of mostly Grenache with a compliment of Roussanne, Vermentino and Clairette grown in the rare limestone soil of the area. The northern exposure of this terroir provides a cooler environment for the vines and inflects the harsher extremes of the mediterranean summer. This northern site also...

50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre Organic, Pre-fermentation maceration: between 2 hours (Syrah, Mourvèdre) and 4 hours (Grenache). Fermentation under controlled temperature (16° then 20° at the end of the process). Ageing on lees (1 month) with stirring if necessary. No malolactic fermentation...

100% Syrah. Made with partial whole-cluster fermentation. Aged two years in two to seven year-old barrels. "Patou" is the top site south of the village of Cornas with decomposed granite and a rich soil that gives supple tannins and perfumed wines. The oldest vines are 100 years old!

100% Marsanne from the tiny appellation of Saint-Peray, south of Cornas. Serrette purchased land here and planted vines in 2017. The soil is typical with granite and gore. The vines have north, north-east exposure. Made entirely in stainless steel. Total production is only 600 bottles.

57% Chardonnay/29% Pinot Noir/14% Pinot Meunier. Each year the Tarlants make a single multi-parcel wine intended to encapsulate that particular vintage: the name Etincelante evokes the "glimmering" nature of the sunny 2002 harvest, "a dream harvest" per Benoìt Tarlant. From six parcels across four...

100% Chardonnay. From a plot of ungrafted or non-greffée vines on very sandy soils in Oeuilly, planted by the Tarlants` grandfather, and unsurprisingly named "Les Sables". The name "Antan" means essentially "yesteryear", a reference to the historical roots of this bottling as well as the old-...

58% Chardonnay/42% Pinot Noir. Most vintages, the Tarlants make a unique, usually multi-parcel wine as a snapshot of that particular vintage's personality. This blend came from three plots--L'Enclume, Crayons and Sablés--hence the "Triumvirat" moniker. 2009 was according to Benoît Tarlant "a very...

50% Chardonnay/44% Pinot Noir/6% Pinot Meunier from organically farmed, hand-harvested estate vines. The vines are grown across 63 parcels in 4 villages near Oeuilly in the Vallée de la Marne and average around 40 years old. The parcels are all vinified separately. The Tarlants' "Zero" rosé isone...

32% Pinot Noir/32% Chardonnay/32% Pinot Meunier/4% Petit Meslier + Arbanne + Pinot Blanc. This cuvée is the majority of Tarlant's production and "is my daily obsession", says Benoît Tarlant. Zero reflects the Tarlant emphasis on unadorned terroir, with no selected yeasts and no dosage. The...

From 75 year old vines on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soil. Butteaux is a sub-climate of 1er Cru Montmains. A chalky soil mixed with clay gives this left bank 1er Cru richness.

From a plot on a plateau on the left bank of the Serein, across from Fourchaume, from vines planted in 1974. A fresh cuvée because the grapes never have direct contact with the sun, as the rows are planted east to west. Fermented and aged in tank. Pear and crunchy, crisp apple notes.

From a single parcel of 70-year-old vines located on the right bank of the Serein River in the sub-climate of Montee de Tonnerre.

Vau de Vay only gets morning sun and wind enters the valley from the north making this a cooler climate. The topsoil is shallow and sits on Kimmeridgian marl. Like all of Piuze’s 1er and Grand Cru the wine is fermented and aged in neutral barrels.

Sechets is a sub-climat of 1er Cru Vaillons. Minots is the warmest part of the valley; as the valley opens up, the sites are cooler. This wine has nice concentration with passion fruit and a salty minerality.

New cuvee in 2020 - from a parcel that touches 1er Cru Butteaux. Fermented and aged 60% in barrel and 40% in tank.

Roncières is a sub-climat of Vaillons with 35 year-old vines and eastern exposure. A quintessential Chablis that checks all of the boxes, full fruit, structure, and racey acidity, all in perfect balance.

New to the line up in 2023. A very special site planted in 1982 situated below the Chapelots climat in the premier cru Montée de Tonnerre. Fermented andaged 20% in oak and 80% in tank. It’s approachable, with notes of pear, lime, and a noteworthy lengthy, mineral finish.
