SAINT-NICOLAS-DE-BOURGUEIL

Clos du Vigneau is a family estate located in Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil. Six generations of Jamet winemakers have been here since 1820. The soils are composed of sand and pebbles called ³graviers², a type of soil which very quickly heats up and makes for supple, light, fruity wines. The 22 hectares of vines are of the Cabernet Franc variety. The average yield is intentionally limited to 55 hectolitres per hectare, so as to improve the intrinsic quality of the wines. Manual harvesting methods allow the grapes to be picked quickly and at optimum ripeness. Fermentation is carried out in modern, temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, offering a guarantee of irreproachable hygiene. The wine stays there for 3 to 5 months, then goes down to the cellar, where it matures at its own speed in wooden casks providing perfect oxygenation. The wines have a fine, brilliant ruby-red colour, the aromas of raspberry are subtle and complex, the wines elegant and supple, harmonious and perfectly balanced. These are clean, honest wines with good ageing potential.

TOURAINE

They have been vine-growers for three generations; the great-grandfather, Albert Denis, set up the Domaine de la Renaudie in 1928. Since 1982, Bruno Denis has been running the estate. He is a perfectionist, thoroughly committed to his profession, and since he started making the wines, they have progressed steadily in quality. His wife, Patricia Denis, is a trained oenologist, but mainly deals with sales. The age of the vines (35 years on average) and the poor, shallow soils result in wines for laying down. The winery is a complex of buildings, each with its own specific role in the various stages of winemaking. The main, recently-built vinification winery is set apart and is equipped with stainless-steel vats and all the equipment required to turn grapes into wine and to control temperatures. The storage and ageing cellar has a capacity of 120,000 bottles and is also used to prepare orders, while a former cellar, which has been turned into a client reception, can hold up to 50 people.
Several wines are most successful, such as the very fruity Touraine-les-Guinetières, the Touraine-Cabernet, a colourful, rich wine with silky tannins, aromas of raspberry and underwood, and the Tradition, rich and aromatic, with a powerful, lasting nose in which red fruit and spices stand out, a round, well-structured wine which is mellow in the mouth and which has excellent ageing capacity. The Touraine white, very typical of the Sauvignon, is fresh and fruity with characteristic notes of lime and dried fruit, combining roundness and aromatic freshness in the mouth - as does the rosé, Perle de Rosée.

POUILLY-FUME

A family estate of 21 hectares, including some parcels of vines of more than 80 years old, run by two sons, Gérard and Bernard, who combine traditional practices with the modern techniques they have learned in legendary wine-growing areas: Beaune, Macon and Bordeaux. The estate is planted on the best hillsides overlooking the Loire, with very representative soils of the region: hard limestone, flinty clay, sandy terraces and Kimmeridgian marl, with each type of soil contributing its own qualities and creating a wine which has very particular characteristics on a terroir which does not. Their Pouilly-Fumé Cuvée Silex is quite superb, combining complexity and finesse, with a subtle nose of notes of honey, flowers and spices. The mouth is very marked by the soils, giving it a mineral taste and great freshness. It is a racy, very well-balanced, powerful, ample wine with very good development. The Pouilly-Fumé Coteau des Girarmes is remarkable, with notes of fresh fruit and lime-tree, a fleshy, aromatic wine which is ample, fruity and lasting in the mouth.

2011-01-26T22:46:00.000-08:00

Château de Lugagnac was built during the Hundred Years War and the traces of the former fortress can still be seen today in the foundations of the wall that surrounds it. Today, it is a splendid house which has been renovated with taste and skill by Maurice and Mylène Bon. Located on the watershed between the Dordogne and the Garonne and enjoying a temperate climate which is particularly dry in Summer, the 80 hectares of vines are planted high up on sloping terrain, two-thirds on iron-containing clay soils on a limestone subsoil and one-third on limestone with fossilised sea-shells. This varied terroir gives the wines of Lugagnac, made using the traditional methods, a lot of personality. An excellent estate producing top-quality Bordeaux Reds which have regularly won medals.
Since 1994, François Bon, their son, has been working with them, making a Château Lugagnac White - a rarity in that only some 12 000 bottles are made - with strong Sauvignon character and lots of fruit. It is already enjoying a certain success. Château de Lugagnac is a very pure, coloured "free-run wine" - full-bodied, well-balanced and round in the mouth with aromas of fresh red fruit, intense and tasty with good ageing potential. The wines of Château de Lugagnac are harmonious, consistent wines. They are guaranteed "free-run wines" without addition of "press wine" and are bottled after two Winters of maturing. The wine is presented in antique-colour heavy bottles. It is most refined and excellent for laying down. The Bordeaux Rosé is remarkable.

Beautiful quality-price-pleasure ratio, which does not spoil anything.

Piece with the fermenting room, at all the stages, qualitative criteria is imposed and controlled to answer the orientation taken by the Cellar since many years: followed control of the vine by a technical commission, inciting remuneration of the contributions co-operators, step HACCP in a preoccupation of traceability and a food safety. By this mobilization, all Vignerons of the Cellar of Producteurs de Coteaux of Lyonnais are the guarantors of a production of quality. These efforts are found in their excellent red Coteaux-du-Lyonnais Benoît Maillard 2008, with the very open blackberry and undergrowth nose, of mouth complex and marked by the red fruits.

Château La Galiane

2008-03-22T02:04:00.000-07:00

Château La Galiane owes its name to Galian, an English general who commanded his troops here during their occupation of Aquitaine in the 15th century. This has been a family estate for several generations and has a surface area of 5 hectares planted with 50 % Merlot, 45 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, a combination which gives that perfect, classical balance which is so typical of the Margaux appellation. The vineyard is planted on slopes with fine gravel soils. These wine-growers from father to son produce La Galiane wines with a lovely ruby-red colour and a fine bouquet, very harmonious and smooth in the mouth. The tannins are fine and elegant and the wines have good ageing capacity. Château Charmant has 5 hectares of vines which are a hundred years old and planted on fine gravel soils with lots of pebbles which are ploughed. Harvesting is done by hand and the vatting process is long in order to extract all the aromas before maturing the wine in barrels for 12 months. Château Charmant produces an aromatic wine with good colour, very complex and elegant, perfectly balanced, well-structured and supple at the same time and opening out delightfully with age.

Je ne m’en lasse pas. Voilà bien 2 approches du vin. La 1ère, risible et mercantile (je vous laisse juge) quand on avoue (Marie Schyler, ici chez Kirwan -éliminé de mon Guide depuis quelques années, aujourd’hui chez Pichon Baron, n’en est certes pas moins sympathique, mais il vaut mieux se taire, parfois, devant une caméra…) que l’on “fait” un vin pour avoir de bonnes notes chez Parker (ce dernier particulièrement attaqué sur ses méthodes en ce moment dans un livre de son ex collaboratrice…), nonobstant toute idée de terroir et de caractère, et, l’autre, défendu par ce grand monsieur du vin, qui pense comme nous, bien sûr. Ne vous en privez pas. Notation : 2 pour les premiers, 18 pour le second, ce qui fait la moyenne.

Bourgogne : gare aux prix

Mes sélections (voir celles de MILLESIMES) sont sévères cette année, tant il y a des crus trop chers et d’autres à des prix déments dans la région, difficilement cautionnables désormais, souvent “ciblés” pout l’export, intelligemment délaissés en France comme en Belgique. En fait, ce n’est pas un problème de prix, mais bien de rapport qualité-prix. Une bouteille simplement “bonne” à 30 e (minimum) ce n’est plus acceptable, voilà tout ! Et, connus, anciens, réputés ou non, il s’agit vraiment de faire attention à certains noms dans la région pour ne pas se faire avoir. La notoriété, comme à Bordeaux, ne suffit plus.

J’aime le Champagne. Mon Classement 2008 est un vrai coup de cœur, entièrement actualisé, et vous montre le véritable visage de la Champagne, qui tient compte de la qualité, du prix, de la régularité, de l’accueil et de la passion des hommes. C’est ce qui fait tout son intérêt ; récompenser les meilleurs (voir la Sélection de MILLESIMES), les plus connus comme les autres, ceux qui respectent les consommateurs. L’image de marque n’est plus suffisante, c’est la régularité qualitative et des prix justifiés (ou pas) qui comptent.

J’aime les vrais vins de Bordeaux, du plus grand au plus modeste, et les consommateurs comme les producteurs savent que je défends ce qui les intéresse, et les distingue : le rapport qualité-prix-typicité. Si l’on fait un grand Margaux ou un Pomerol racé à 40 ou 80 e, il les vaut bien. Idem pour une gamme plus abordable, en Graves, dans les Satellites, les Côtes ou en Bordeaux Supérieurs, où les progrès sont exceptionnels.

What is the difference between this and the multitude of other charts with their complex mixture of stars and grades ? Two things : the first is the rigor, the severity with which Patrick Dussert-Gerber has graded the intrinsic quality of the vintages. The second thing, the enormous “plus” in the Vintage Code, is the second grade (upper right, in Italics and in red on our plastic coated card).

The properties have been "strictly selected" and cover the full range of wines, from the most affordable to the most expensive. What they all have in common, though, is an exemplary, personal character. A choice selection of wines and an attractive presentation of the estate, the men and women who live and work there, the quality of the vintages, the wine-making methods and the prices - just like in a real book.

The goal of our site is to bring together, in a single site, everything the surfer needs or wants to know about the service or the product. If you are looking for a wine and visit our site, you will have immediate access to all the information you need. And from the site, you also have links to other wine sites. Our site is truly international (French and English language).
You can get into direct contact (we do not take any profit) with the owner of your choice who, thanks to us, has his or her own web.

For the wine-makers, the site is a truly exceptional opportunity to be referenced on web at a low price, a much cheaper solution than creating their own web site that offers a much greater impact than a mere e-mail address.
