December Wine Club Selections

2017 Remoissenet Père et Fils Bourgogne Blanc– Burgundy, France

Chardonnay

Winemaking details: Remoissenet Pere & Fils was founded in 1877 and is housed in a charming 14th century building in Beaune. The Remoissenet’s cellar, originally built in the 1300s, connects to the medieval walls of Beaune itself. They own 13 hectares of vineyard land in Beaune and Gevrey-Chambertin, which they farm according to organic and biodynamic principles. The estate also purchases fruit from other growers by quality, not quantity. Roland Remoissenet was the most recent family member to make the wines, and in 2005, at the age of 75, he decided to retire and sold the company. Now Bernard Répolt, a famous winemaker, runs operations and stewards the wines. The winemaking philosophy of the domaine is wholeheartedly non-interventionist. This Chardonnay comes from Estate-selected fruit from vineyards in northern Burgundy (declassified fruit from Chablis) as well as from plots in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. After hand harvesting, the grapes are pressed whole cluster, fermented by indigenous yeasts in 25% new French oak barrels and steel, and in then aged in the same vessels as fermentation.

Color: Pale Gold

Bouquet: Lemon zest, lime blossom, white peaches, pear, and chalk.

Palate: This is a classic, fresh, and lively white Burgundy with great texture and tension. The few years of bottle ageing have this wine in a great place right now, still bright and zesty, but rounding out with subtle savory notes. It is medium bodied with a slight creamy and silky texture, high acid, and has a long and mineral driven finish. A pleasure to drink on it’s own, this Chardonnay would also be a great companion to chicken, seafood linguini, soft rind cheeses, or sushi.

This wine is in a great place to enjoy now, however could be laid down 3-4 years if desired.

2018 Château de Janicon Graves Rouge – Bordeaux , France

52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot

Winemaking Details: : The region of Graves in Bordeaux is known for it’s gravelly soils, which are relatively poor in nutrients, well-draining, and can make incredible wines. Château de Janicon is led by its third generation winemaker, Lou Rochet. She lives on the property with her family, and helps to tend the 40 or so acres of vines in addition to making the wine. The Rochet family plants cover crops between rows to increase biodiversity, does not allow any herbicides, and have introduced bees and bat boxes to support local flora and fauna. The soils are stony, and of corse gravelly, with subsoils of clay and silica above a limestone core. For this Bordeaux blend, the grapes are all hand harvested, destemmed, and undergo a sold soak for a few days. The varietals are fermented separately by native yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Aged in French oak barrel for one year.

Color: Dark Ruby

Bouquet: Black cherries, tobacco, plum, wet stone, cassis, wild herbs.

Palate: This is a full bodied blend with powerful yet fine tannins, medium acidity, and great balance with only 13.5% alcohol. It is quite classic with earthy, leather, tobacco, and a spicy finish. The bountiful fruit is ripe, not jammy, and there is subtle elegance with notes of violets and wet stone. Enjoy this wine with aged cheese, dark game, red meat, or hearty autumn stews.

This wine is approachable and enjoyable young, yet could age for 5-7 more years if desired.

November Wine Club Selections

2020 WEINGUT MATTHIAS HILD “TROCKEN” – UPPER MOSEL, GERMANY

Elbling

Winemaking details: Matthias Hild is the 4th generation of his family to farm these old terraced vines on the steep hillsides in the village of Wincheringen, in the Upper Mosel. Elbling is one of the oldest European grape varietals, and this family has been growing, championing, and preserving the cultural heritage associated with this grape for over a hundred years. There is just a tiny percentage of Elbling planted in Germany, and most of it is in this area. It is unique in that particular vines are neither red nor white. Rather, white and pink grapes grow together on the same vine. It is known for being light and high acid, and often is made into a sparkling wine. The Upper Mosel is the start of the limestone vein that runs through regions like Chablis and Champagne, and are known for producing some of the most mineral driven wines. The Hild family practices organic farming with no insecticides, pesticides or herbicides, and tillage in the vineyard is reduced to help form a natural biomass that increases the health of the soil. The Elbling is hand harvested and goes through a 21 day cold fermentation in stainless steel and full malolactic fermentation. It rests in steel for a few months before bottling.

Color: Pale Straw

Bouquet: White flowers, lemon pith, sorrel, quince, chalk, green apple.

Palate: This wine is nervy, lively, bright, and oh so thirst quenching. The nose is like springtime coming out of the glass, with plentiful yet delicate citrus and mineral notes. The palate is chalky, rocky, and on the lighter side with a touch of sweetness at the beginning, but because of the beautiful high acid, the wine finishes dry. Enjoy this wine with fall fruit salads with bitter greens, sushi, smoked salmon and potato chips, or a citrus seafood linguini.

With the high acid this wine could age for 3-5 years, but because of the freshness and lightness of the grape, it is recommended to drink within 2 or so years.

2018 ROVELLOTTI “VALPLAZZA” COLLINE NOVARESI D.O.C. – ALTO PIEMONTE, ITALY

Nebbiolo

Winemaking details: The Rovellotti family traces its roots to this particular commune, Ghemme, in Northern Piemonte, to the latter stages of the 15th century. Starting in the 1980s, the vineyards have been maintained with the intention to use zero chemicals in the vineyard in order to re-establish the natural balance of environmental and ecological elements. The majority of their vineyards are planted to Nebbiolo, but they also grow Vespolina, Bonarda (Uva Rara), and Erbaluce (Greco Bianco). The soils are a mix of different acidic red clay soils with ancient glacier influences. There are large diurnal shifts here because of the exposure and alpine winds, which help the grapes mature slowly. These grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and undergo a native fermentation in steel. After a light pressing, the wine ages on fine lees in steel for 6 months, and also goes through a native secondary fermentation. After a light filtration, the wine is bottled and aged another 6 months before release.

Color: Deep Ruby

Bouquet: Wild raspberry, black currant, orange zest, white pepper, alpine flowers, rose petals, violets, light tar

Palate: The nose is quite classic and expressive on this wine, and the palate is just slightly lighter than most Barolos would be. It still has structure with grippy tannins, brisk acid, and a long, rustic finish. Pair this wine with cheese and meat boards, charred veggies, pasta Bolognese, or any wild game.

While this wine is delicious in it’s youth, Nebbiolo is known to age and this wine would gain complexity and depth over the next 5-10 years.

October Wine Club Selections

2018 DOMAINE DE SULAUZE “GALINETTE” BLANC – COTEAUX D’AIX EN PROVENCE, FRANCE

40% Grenache Blanc/ 20% Vermentino/ 20% Ugni Blanc/ 20% Clairette

Winemaking details: Karina and Guillaume Lefèvre bought this property in the heart of Provence in 2004. There were 29 hectares of vineyards, an abandoned winemaking barn, a few stone buildings, and an olive grove. They quickly converted everything to organic, and soon after biodynamic and polycultural farming. Now the entire 500 hectare estate is Demeter certified and includes vines for wine, olives for olive oil, wheat fields for bread, barley for beer, orchards for cider, livestock, chickens, and a vegetable garden for feeding their family and employees. The vineyards are planted to sandy, limestone heavy soils, and they cultivate grape varietals that are traditional in the region. These white grapes are hand harvested and gently pressed to stainless steel tanks for a co-fermentation with native yeasts. After fermentation, some of the wine rests in steel and some in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. The wine is not fined nor filtered, and sees just a small amount of sulfur before bottling.

Color: Pale Straw

Bouquet: Lemon, orange blossom, lychee, pear, honeycomb, oyster shell

Palate: The bursting aromatics of the nose continue on the palate, with citrus, white flowers, and light stone fruits. This white is on the fresher and brighter side for these grapes, but still has a great weight and texture with medium plus acidity, only 12.5% alcohol, and a medium body. There is a mineral core, and a long finish with light spice and herbaceous notes that leave you begging for more. This versatile wine would be great all year round, but is especially intriguing for welcoming in the cooler weather. Enjoy this wine with an endive, feta, olive, pear salad, a grilled artichoke with lemon aioli, a creamy asparagus and goat cheese risotto, or a seafood casserole.

With additional bottle aging before release, this wine is drinking great now. It would go for 2-4 years longer if desired.

2020 DOMAINE SEROL “ELCAT DE GRANITE” COTE ROANNAISE – LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE

Gamay St. Romain

Winemaking details: The Côte Roannaise is technically part of the Loire Valley, but is actually closer to Beaujolais. Like Beaujolais, Gamay is the dominant grape and thrives here at high elevation sites with granite based soils. Stephane Serol is the 5th generation in his family to farm this estate, and when he and his wife took over in 1996, they converted everything to organic farming and are now certified organic and biodynamic. They have some old vine plots, and have been expanding with massale selections on new plantings on their property. They work with the local heirloom clone of Gamay, Gamay Saint Roman, instead of the more common Gamay Noir. Gamay Saint Romain tends to have smaller bunches and berries, which often translates to a more concentrated expression of the fruit. The grapes, which are mostly coming from 80 year old vines, are hand harvested and fermented by native yeasts with about 50% whole cluster in temperature controlled concrete tanks. After a cool fermentation, the wine is pressed and ages in concrete as well. It is bottled with a no fining, a light filtration, and a low dose of sulfur.

Color: Ruby

Bouquet: Blackberry, wild herbs, iron, light anise, black cherry, violettes, ripe cranberry, white pepper

Palate: The wine is soft, finessed, and nuanced, yet still packs a punch with a full body and lush texture. It is spicy, earthy, and fruity, with a bright balanced acidity and a polished, long finish highlighting the granite soils and this unique clone of Gamay. Enjoy this wine at room temperature during colder months, or with a chill on warmer afternoon. Pair with a charcuterie board, chili-garlic grilled salmon, or tenderloin with a blackberry sauce.

This wine is meant to be consumed within 5 years.

September Wine Club Selections

2018 DOMAINE DES HUARDS “PURE” CHEVERNY – LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE

85% Sauvignon Blanc/15% Chardonnay

Winemaking details: Domaine des Huards was founded 1846 and has been certified biodynamic and organic since 1998. They tend vines, forests, fields, and a flock of sheep on the estate where the winery is located. Today, the land is looked after by Michael Gendrier and his son Alex, who is now the 8th generation winemaker in the family. Domaine des Huards is in the village of Cheverny in the Loire Valley, which is known for its cool continental climate and bright whites and lighter red wines. The soil on the estate is composed of chalky limestone bedrock with various clay and sandstone top soils. The grapes are hand harvested and pressed whole cluster to stainless steel tank, where the juice settles overnight before being racked to steel. All of their wines undergo native yeast fermentations and they use no oak. They do not inoculate for ML either, and this vintage went through partial secondary fermentation. After aging on fine lees for 5-6 months, the wine sees a light filtration being bottling with minimal added sulfur.

Color: Medium Straw

Bouquet: A complex yet subtle nose with green apple, key lime, lemon zest, white pear, violettes, and gooseberry.

Palate: This is a “pure”, precise, and focused wine that showcases the best of both grapes. Refreshing medium+ acidity and a nice mid palate weight, this wine finishes long and dry, with a nice texture from a bit of time on the fine lees. Enjoy this wine with soft cheeses, radicchio and almond salad, summer ricotta ravioli, or local halibut in beurre blanc.

Enjoy this wine now for a fresh and bright expression, or cellar it for 5-10 years for added depth and complexity.

2018 DOMAINE CHRISTOPHE MITTNACHT “TERRES D’ÉTOILES” – ALSACE, FRANCE

Pinot Noir

Winemaking details: Domaine Mittnacht Freres was founded by two brothers in 1963, and were one of the first estates in Alsace to become certified biodynamic and organic (1999). A few years ago, Christophe branched away from his brother and started his own domaine, still on the estate and still making wine from the same vines. He believes that healthy soils and ecosystems ultimately produce better, more expressive and refined wines, hence his commitment to these farming practices and light hand in the cellar. These vines average over 40 years in age and are planted high density on clay and limestone soils. After hand harvesting, the grapes are fully destemmed before they undergo a native yeast fermentation. The wine undergoes a native secondary fermentation as well, then rests for 18 months in neutral french foudre before being bottled with a small addition of sulfur.

Color: Pale Ruby

Bouquet: Pomegranate, ripe cranberries, cherries, roses, damp forrest, light prosciutto.

Palate: Christophe has grown and created an expressive and elegant Alsatian Pinot Noir. It is fresh, balanced, earthy, floral, and savory. It has fine, powdery tannins, low alcohol, classic red fruits, light spice, and typical cool climate high acid. This would be a great wine to accompany a charcuterie board, mushroom burger, or duck breast with fried maitake mushrooms.

While drinking great now, this wine could also be enjoyed after 5-7 years of aging

August Wine Club Selections

2020 TORETA – KORČULA, CROATIA

Pošip

Winemaking details: Toreta is perched above the Adriatic Sea in the village of Smokvica on the island of Korčula in Croatia. Toreta is named after the small round stone shelters built centuries ago to protect workers from the fierce winds and elements. There are only five of these old structures left on the Island and all of them are on the Toreta property, hence the name for the winery. Here Frano Banicević continues the family legacy of grape growing and winemaking that has been going on for generations, on the same land that his great grandfather originally founded the winery. This island is where the grape Pošip was first discovered, and Frano works wonders with this grape, as well as with other local varietals. He farms 5 hectares on red and iron rich soils, and the vines sit atop a windy hillside with good expose, helping to minimize disease pressure. The grapes are hand harvested and see 4 hours of skin contact before they are pressed whole cluster to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Once racked after dry, the wine ages in 80% steel and 20% neutral Slovenian oak for 8 months prior to bottling

Color: Pale Yellow

Bouquet: Melon, green apple, honeycomb, acacia flowers, orange zest, light almond and herbs.

Palate: This is an incredibly well balanced expression of Pošip - pleasant fruit notes without being overly fruity, great texture without being too weighty, and present acidity with a mineral core. It has a great concentration of flavors and a lingering finish, yet somehow it is still quite refreshing and finishes light. This wine is great with a variety of dishes, and on the island most locals enjoy it daily in the summers with simple food. Try it with local bread, cheese, olive oil, and cured meats, or with grilled garden vegetables and local fish. For more special occasions the locals will make squid ink seafood risotto, octopus salad, fresh sea urchin, or local herbed goat cheese pasta.

This wine is meant to be consumed relatively young, and we recommend enjoying this wine now or within the next three years.

2019 NOELIA RICCI “IL SANGIOVESE” - EMILIA ROMANGA, ITALY

Sangiovese

Winemaking details: Noelia Ricci is the woman this winery is named after, and in 1980 when her father passed away, she took over operations, planting new vineyards and building a new winery. She is now training her son to be the fourth generation in the family to showcase the potential of the land and the wine they have been farming as a family for generations. They are located in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains in the sub-appellation of Predappio, next to the Rabbi River. The soil is calcareous yellow clay, having heavier clay content at higher elevations and more sand influence lower down closer to the river. These grapes are organic certified and all hand harvested, with the different clones harvested separately and then blended together later. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is pressed to tank where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for 6 months. Once bottled, it rests for 8 months before release.

Color: Ruby Red

Bouquet: Roses, red currant, tobacco, tart cherry, light spice and herbs

Palate: This is a fresh, light hearted, and easy drinking wine. It has vibrant acidity, fine yet firm tannins, and crunchy fruits. While this is quite a fun and lighter bodied style of Sangiovese, it is still serious at the same time with energy, elegance, tension, depth, a light spice, and nuanced earthy tones. We recommend decanting this wine for an hour before enjoying with dishes like grilled squid, mushroom, and shishito skewers, fresh tagliolini with clams and chorizo, or grilled local salmon with tomato sauce, bacon, and herbs.

Drink this wine now, or cellar it for up to 3-5 years

July Wine Club Selections

2019 PEDROLONGA RIAS BAIXAS BLANCO – GALICIA, SPAIN

Albariño

Winemaking details: The Pedralonga Estate Vineyard has been farmed organically since it was planted in 1982, and in 2007 biodynamic practices were introduced. They have seven small plots planted on granitic based sandy loam soils in the Rías Baixas region in the Northwest of Spain, just 10 miles from the Atlantic. These grapes are hand harvested and whole cluster pressed to stainless steel tanks where they undergo a cool fermentation by native yeasts. The wine completes a full secondary malolactic fermentation, and is aged on lees in stainless steel tanks for an extended period of time before it is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with just a small addition of sulfur.

Color: Pale Yellow

Bouquet: White peaches, pomelo, beeswax, golden apple, lemon curd, grapefruit pith, ocean air

Palate: This wine is quite a classic example of Albariño, with bountiful aromatics, racy acidity, a medium body, and a mouthwatering mineral finish. It is long, lively, and playful with a slightly creamy texture from the time on lees. The notes of subtle white flowers, stone fruits, citrus, and honey carry on from the nose to the palate. A great wine for summertime, pair this with local halibut ceviche, grilled padrón (or shishito) peppers, fresh stone fruit salad with Burrata, or an herbed lemon seafood pasta.

Enjoy this wine within 1-3 years.

2019 ROTERFADEN “TERRACES” ROSSWAG RED – WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY

55% Lemberger (Blaufrankisch), 35% Trollinger, 10% Regent and 10% Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier).

Winemaking details: The village of Rosswag, in the Württemberg wine region of Germany near Stuttgart, is an amphitheater of steeply terraced vineyards on shell limestone soils, made of stone walls built by hand well over 1,000 years old, overlooking the Enz river. It is also an official nature preserve. It sounds idyllic, but because of the price of farming without machines and because it is not a well known wine region, many young people have left the area and most grapes get sold to the local co-op. Enter the young couple, Olympia and Hannes, who started Roterfaden in 2014 with half a hectare of Lemberger from a parcel planted by Hannes’ grandfather. They now have four acres of vines and farm all organically with biodynamic practices (she is also an herbalist and makes preps/teas from their garden for the vineyard).. These grapes are hand harvested (it’s impossible not to), spontaneously fermented, aged in large neutral oak barrels, and bottled unfined/unfiltered.

Color: Medium Ruby

Bouquet: Black pepper, wild herbs, plum, blackberries, baking spices, light vanilla, and cassis

Palate: This is very unique and enjoyable wine that is savory, earthy, juicy, and spicy. It has a smooth and soft mouth feel with light tannin, a medium body, and pleasant acidity to balance it out. It is enjoyable at room temperature, however on a hot summer day it can be especially refreshing with a light chill. This is also a great food wine, and can pair with anything from soft cheeses to BBQ lamb, and lots of things in-between such as a roasted vegetable salad with fresh herbs, mushroom ragout, paella, or squid ink pasta.

This playful red is meant to be opened young and fresh - enjoy within 2 years

June Wine Club Selections

2018 TENUTA DI FESSINA “ERSE” ETNA BIANCO – SICILY, ITALY

90% Carricante, 10% Catarratto and Minnella

Winemaking details: These grapes come from two vineyards in the Etna Bianco DOC, Biancavilla and Milo. The former sits just under 3000 feet elevation on the West side of Etna with Southern exposure and was originally planted in 1950. Milos, planted in 1930, is just a tad higher and is on the East side with Eastern exposure. While the soils of Etna are all influenced by volcanic activity, the Biancavilla is sandier with limestone influence, and Milo is more fertile and iron rich. These hand harvested grapes go directly to the press, and then the juice is cold settled in a stainless steel tank. After racking, a cool and long fermentation carried out by native yeasts occurs in steel tank. The wine is aged in steel for 6 months, bottled with minimal sulfur, and aged an additional 6-8 months in bottle before release.

Color: Pale yellow

Bouquet: Lemon flowers, lime oil, nectarine, oyster shell, petrichor

Palate: This is a more elegant Etna Bianco with a slightly lighter body and more delicate herbaceous no than some other whites you may find from this area. This is primarily because of the high elevation, cooler sites, as well as from the stainless steel vinification. It is bright and polished, and has the classic Etna mineral driven backbone and long salty finish. Pair this with hard cheeses, a simple salad with feta and pistachios, herbed ravioli, or stuffed sardines Sicilian style.

This zesty white is drinking great now, and could be cellared 2-4 more years if desired.

Further information can be found here: Tenuta di Fessina

2019 FLORAIN ROBLIN “CHAMP GIBAULT” COTEAUX DU GEINNOIS – LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE

80% Pinot Noir, 20% Gamay

Winemaking details: A relatively young appellation Côteaux du Giennois was created in 1998. The Coteaux du Geinnois is a lesser known region in the Loire Valley, just North of Sancerre and specializing in Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Gamay. Florian Roblin planted his estate vineyard Champ Gibault in 2006 and farms it without pesticides and herbicides. He has about 3.5 hectares of vines planted to clay & flint soils over a chalk base. The hand harvested grapes are all destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts and partial carbonic maceration. The wine is then racked to neutral Burgundy barrels where it rests for 10 months, bottled, and aged a few months in bottle before release.

Color: Pale Ruby

Bouquet: Red cherries, casis, wild raspberries, forest floor, spice

Palate: This blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay is lovely match, with great structure and elegance at the same time. It is juicy and packed with crunchy red fruits, yet there is a lovely lingering spice and earthiness to balance it out. It has vibrant acidity, a medium body, and soft dusty tannin. It would be great with a light chill on a hot summer day, accompanied by a charcuterie board, pasta primavera, or grilled duck.

This vibrant wine is drinking great young, but could be rested for 3-5 years as well.

May Wine Club Selection

2020 Clos Cibonne “Tentations” Rosé – Côtes de Provence, France

50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 15% Tibouren

Winemaking details: Clos Cibonne is a historic and organic certified estate in the picturesque Côtes de Provence, just a stones throw away from the sea. The estate is known for making rosé from and championing the grape Tiburon (which is part of this cuveé). Their secret to this refreshing wine is that the grapes are picked at night and pressed off the skins when still cold, and the fermentation also occurs at low temperatures, helping to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas. The fermentation is spontaneous, and both ageing and fermentation occur in steel. The wine is aged on lees for a few months before being bottled fresh and young with minimal effective sulfur.

Color: Pale salmon

Bouquet: Sea breeze, grapefruit blossom, stone fruit, wet rocks

Palate: Dry with racy acidity, and nice mid-palate texture coming from extended time spent on lees. Flavors of grapefruit pith, apricot, and light strawberries. 2020 was a great vintage with cool nighttime temperatures, which helped keep the acid high on this classic yet slightly lighter styled Côtes de Provence rosé. Enjoy with local grilled salmon, pesto primavera, or a hot afternoon poolside.

This wine is fresh and meant to be enjoyed young! Drink now or within the next 1-3 years.

2019 Filomena Ricci Vineyards – Carneros, California

St. Laurent

Winemaking details: Luke Nio is the owner and winemaker of Filomena Wines. He has worked in cellars throughout California and New Zealand, gaining knowledge, skills, and clarity for his vision of winemaking. St. Laurent is a rare grape that originally hails from Bordeaux, but found its way across France to Germany, and is now most widely planted in Austria. The owner of the Ricci vineyard imported cuttings from the last remaining St. Laurent vines in Germany to plant in his vineyard. These grapes come from the Ricci vineyard in Carneros on the Sonoma Coast, which is mostly acidic Huichica loam soils. This area benefits from morning fog and mild daytime temps moderated by the bay. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented 30% whole cluster with carbonic maceration with native yeasts. After pressing the wine is aged partially in stainless steel and partially in new 400L oak puncheons. Native malolactic fermentation occurs, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur.

Color: Medium Ruby

Bouquet: Cranberry, cherry, suede, clove, hibiscus, nutmeg, light vanilla

Palate: This is an easy drinking but also a very layered wine. The silky smooth and slightly powdery tannins are met with medium acidity and a medium body. The flavors are bursting in the glass with bright fruits, baking spices, savory undertones, and long finish. Enjoy with spicey wontons or gyoza (may we recommend our favorite local spot Full Steam Dumplings), smoked brisket, or grilled seasonal veggies.

This wine is fresh and great now, but could be cellared for 3-5 years if desired.
