  • Château De Pommard Restores Clos Mareymonge
    CHÂTEAU DE POMMARD RESTORES CLOS MAREY­MONGE NAME, BEGINS BIODYNAMIC CONVERSION WITH ANTOINE LEPETIT DE LA BIGNE Château de Pommard Press Release st Pommard, France, May 31 ,​ 2016 ​ Château de Pommard Restores Clos Marey­Monge Designation In the 1855 publication entitled History and Statistics of the Great Wines of the Côte d’Or, ​ ​ Jules Lavalle presented the official classification of the Comité de Viticulture de Beaune. ​ ​ With a consideration for traditional regional hierarchies, Lavalle ranked Clos Marey­Monge—renamed Clos du Château de Pommard in 1936—amongst the region’s ​ ​ ​ ​ premières cuvées, a qualification now designated for today’s premier cru. ​ ​ ​ With the deepest respect for the region’s values, history, and Lavalle’s 1855 classification, in May 2016 Château de Pommard proudly announces the restoration of its historic walled­enclosed vineyard to its original title – Clos Marey­Monge. ​ ​ “The team at Château de Pommard is delighted to have the opportunity to reappoint the Clos Marey­Monge name. We take great care to constantly consider the historical legacy of our vineyards and the region’s historic roots. Restoring Clos Marey­Monge to its earliest designation is a step to blend local traditions with forward thinking,” said Michael Baum, owner. Château de Pommard’s Conversion to Biodynamic Wine Production Developing over a series of tiered phases, and beginning early in this year’s season, Château de Pommard is delighted to announce its conversion to biodynamic wine production. Since 2007, Château de Pommard’s technical director, Emmanuel Sala, has produced all of the château’s wines. His simple philosophy, “to nurture and develop the specific vintage, ​ to listen to nature and never upset its balance,” is a belief built on many years of local ​ knowledge and intuitively understanding the region’s landscape.

  • LE CLOS Single Vineyard
    RED CROZES-HERMITAGE LE CLOS Single Vineyard APPELLATION RED CROZES-HERMITAGE VINEYARDS : the vineyards are the largest of the northern Rhône appellations. They cover 11 communes in the Drôme "département", on the left bank of the Rhône River. SOILS : the soils vary: from the north, these are mainly over granite subsoils that follow on from those of the Hermitage hill; to the south where are both fluvial-glacial alluviums, with terraces of rolled stones from the old river bed, mixed with loess. CLIMATE : the climate has a southerly exposure in the hillside areas. PREVAILING WIND : the "Mistral" is the dominant wind. SURFACE AREA UNDER PRODUCTION : Production area is 1,683 hectares/3,485 acres, for an annual production of 61,000 hectolitres/678,000 cases. Authorized maximum yield is 45 hectolitres/hectare (2.6 US tons/acre). GRAPE VARIETIES : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed). CHARACTERISTICS This cuvée is a vineyard plot selection. The grapes come exclusively from a "Clos", that is located on the "Les Chassis" plain, on the left bank of the Rhône river. This is a wine which is only made in the very best years, and its production is deliberately limited to 7,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Grape variety : 100% Syrah WINE MAKING "Le Clos" grapes are harvested manually at optimum maturity. The winemaking is done in traditional open-topped concrete tanks, following a 2 day period of skin contact at low temperature. The fermentation follows at controlled temperatures from 82°F to 86°F (28°C to 30°C).

  • Clos Apalta 2012
    Clos Apalta 2012 GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS Apalta is located at 170 Kilometers South West from Santiago in the Colchagua Valley. The Vineyard is situated on a North to South exposure, which is quite rare in Chile. The Tinguiririca river rests on one side and the hills from the A world class Blend in the Coastal Cordillera surround the vineyard like a horseshoe on the other. They are both integral in forming this unique terroir. This geography is responsible for the Bordeaux tradition. The conditions that ensure balance for our vines and a slow ripening for the grapes. At sunrise and sunset, the Cordillera block the sun’s rays, limiting the vines exposure earth offers it up and we to intense sunshine and the river has a cooling influence on the climate. respect the gift. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF APALTA VALLEY Apalta has a special meso-climate that is different from the rest of Colchagua Valley. Its climate could be described as semi-dry Mediterranean; with a winter only rainy season and a long dry summer season. Rains are highly concentrated during the winter reaching over 550 mm in on average. During the growing season (oct- april), we have beautiful days and warm temperatures with no rain due to the height of the Coastal Mountains which partially block the cold influence of the Pacific Ocean. There are cool breezes in the afternoons and the night-time temperatures are cold. We benefit from a wide temperature fluctuation between night and day; which is a key quality factor for color and tannins in reds. Slow maturation allows the grapes to reach their ideal maturity with high concentration and character, preserving the fruit and high levels of natural acidity, ensuring a long ageing potential.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.
