Hand-harvested and all fruit is de-stemmed, natural fermentation takes place at low temperatures, punch downs and pump-overs take place regularly, wine is aged for 6 months to one year in stainless. "This is the only pure Cabernet Sauvignon bottling we consistently stock, and it is not even from the grape’s spiritual home of Bordeaux—it instead hails from the craggy hillsides of Pic Saint-Loup, a top appellation of the Languedoc. Compare the price tag to what’s available from Bordeaux or Napa. Now picture the aristocratic Cabernet Sauvignon at its summer home in the south—a place where it can ditch pretension, soak up the sun, let its hair down, and breathe in the fragrances of the Mediterranean countryside." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Château Fontanès Cyriaque Rozier, the highly acclaimed winemaker and vineyard manager at Château La Roque, makes his own wine under the label Château Fontanès in Pic St-Loup in the Languedoc. A charming man with a strong sense of vocation and relentless drive, Cyriaque often works sixteen-hour days between the two domaines.

Liberté, Égalité
Liberté, Égalité . Qualité THIS JUST MAY BE THE NATIONAL MOTTO OF FRANCE’S NEW WINE REVOLUTION: INTRODUCING VIN DE FRANCE by Meridith May / photos by Nikki Ritcher rance has reinvented its wine trail. Introducing Vin de France wines, a new designation that unshackles winemakers and Fgrowers from the country’s restrictive appellation system rules and restraints, opening the doors for any grape variety to be grown, bottled and labeled anywhere in France. And it’s blessed by the French government. ANIVIN DE FRANCE, a trade organization composed of representatives from independent producers, co-ops and négociants, was established in 2009 with the goal of creating market- driven wines in France, allowing the country to better compete with the world’s other wine- producing countries, where regulations are not so strict. “Terroir in France changed the taste of the planet,” explains board member Laurent Delaunay, President and Winemaker for Burgundy-based Badet Clément & Co. As a marketer/producer and négociant, Delauney realizes that Burgundian wines are here to stay, “but grand cru wines, champagnes, etc., are for the specialist and connoisseur. Now, with more people drinking wine, Europe needs a category to adapt to the challenge for a national wine from France.” A New World of Flavor arises from Vin de France, an official national appellation created and supervised by French organization ANIVIN DE FRANCE. Its leaders toast the revolution: Laurent Delaunay, President and Winemaker for Burgundy-based Badet Clément & Co.; Valérie Pajotin, Managing Director of ANIVIN DE FRANCE; and Bruno Kessler, President, ANIVIN DE FRANCE. 56 / the tasting panel / december 2013 Winery Exchange Importers Kathleen Burns, Suzanne Bergstrom and winemaker Laurent Delaunay.

Wine List Featured Wines By the glass Riesling Kung Fu Girl 2015 Glass $6.50 This is an über-aromatic wine, with appealing notes of white peach, jasmine, honeysuckle and lime. Its taste is pure, focused and mouthwatering. It is lean in style, drinking off dry but balanced by racy acidity that stretches out the finish. Pinot Gris Acrobat 2014 Glass $6.50 A youthful wine with a delicate entrance that rounds on the mid-palate and a refreshing acidity that carries through the finish. Take in the bright citrus and honeysuckle notes complemented by green apple and a lingering minerality. Chardonnay William Hill Estate 2014 Glass $6.50 Our William Hill Estate North Coast Chardonnay offers aromas and flavors of ripe tree fruit, underscored by hints of brown spice, citrus and tropical fruit. Hailing mostly from Sonoma and Solano, with a touch of fruit from Mendocino, this well-integrated wine has excellent acidity and a creamy mouthfeel. Cabernet Sauvignon Louis M Martini 2015 Glass $6.50 Louis M Martini Napa Cabernet Sauvignon toasts a deep burgundy color and complex aromas of dark fruit, smoky cedar and dried herbs. Rich and broad in the mouth, our Napa Cabernet has an expansive mid-palate, silky tannins and sought-after balance. Finely etched flavors of black cherry and blackberry are framed by licorice and toasts on the long finish. Malbec Steele “Writer’s Block” 2014 Glass $6.50 Winemaker Quincy Steele’s experiences working in Argentina inform this wine and its style. Native yeast fermentation, extended macerations, and cooler fermentation temperatures give him as much control as possible when extracting.

France, Relaxed – a Special Feature
Français Sign Up Log in France, Relaxed – A Special Feature Twitter Email Facebook Pinterest Reddit More 2 Encapsulating French Wine Identity in the “Vin De France” Designation By Sara d’Amato with notes from David Lawrason This feature was commissioned by Anivin de France Can France’s global terroir be encapsulated and distilled in one overarching appellation? An ambitious prospect to be sure but it is the aim of the Vin De France designation that encompasses some of the country’s top value-oriented wines. It is not unheard of for a wine region or even a flagship wine from an entire country to become a brand, think: Champagne, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, or Argentinian Malbec. In each of these cases, an industry has benefitted from an indelible, distinguishing public perception. In this context, the Vin De France designation’s design is impressively enterprising: to extract a single, crystallized picture from a multi- faceted, historically steeped and traditionally defined wine producing culture. It is a lot to distill into one category known as “Vin De France”. To do so, French wine has been reorganized to fit this “one terroir” model by focusing on grape variety rather than region. Those grape varieties are coupled with the notion of an effortlessly chic “French lifestyle” to create a simple, convivial image of French wine. France is by far the largest wine exporting country in the world by value, with almost 10 billion Euros of globally exported product in 2019 (by volume, it falls third to Spain and Italy whose bulk wine markets tip the scales).
