  • Vintage Notes
    VINTAGE NOTES The following chart is a compilation (or cuvee if you will!) of notes from the major Bordeaux critics – Jancis Robinson (JR), Decanter (DC), Wine Spectator (WS), Robert Parker (RP), James Suckling (JS), as well as the lesser known, but thorough, website – Wine Cellar Insider (WCI). If there is anything that was solidified while compiling all the information, is that each critic can have widely different opinions regarding each appellation and each vintage, which can result in conflicting information with regards to the quality. The best advice is to find a critic whose palate and assessments you respect and align with your own palate. This is by no means meant to be taken as gospel, but rather hopefully a way to view & compare several opinions about each vintage in a succinct way, rather than flipping through various tabs and websites. Although there was some editing done on our part on the verbiage used by each publication, we did our best to remain true to their words. Not every vintage has notes from each critic for a few reasons – their publication didn’t offer anything specific enough, or any information at all in some cases, or just a blanket assessment was offered. If there are specific appellations mentioned in each column, it’s referring to the lauded overall quality of the appellation for that vintage. One of the top 3 questions any wine professional or Sommelier is often asked “when can I drink this (insert wine name here)? The answer is rarely an easy one but there is this basic guideline you can follow: if you like your wines to have big fruit flavours and assertive structure, drink the wine soon (and don’t forget to decant it), if you prefer to drink wines that are starting to show tertiary or savoury characteristics (more earthy and leather notes, maybe some smokiness and mushroom), tuck the bottle to the back corner of your cellar or wine fridge and try to forget about it for a few years.

    Domaine Luneau-Papin Muscadet from Domaine Luneau-Papin. Pierre-Marie Luneau and Marie Chartier. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Pierre and Monique Luneau. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Profile Pierre-Marie Luneau heads this 50-hectare estate in Le Landreau, a village in the heart of Muscadet country, where small hamlets dot a landscape of vineyards on low hills. Their estate, also known as Domaine Pierre de la Grange, has been in existence since the early 18th century when it was already planted with Melon de Bourgogne, the Muscadet appellation's single varietal. After taking over from his father Pierre in 2011, Pierre-Marie became the ninth generation to make wine in the area. Muscadet is an area where, unfortunately, a lot of undistinguished bulk wine is produced. Because of the size of their estate, and of the privileged terroir of the villages of Le Landreau, Vallet and La Chapelle Heulin, the Luneau family has opted for producing smaller cuvées from their several plots, which are always vinified separately so as to reflect their terroir's particular character. The soil is mainly micaschist and gneiss, but some plots are a mix of silica, volcanic rocks and schist. The estate has a high proportion of old vines, 40 years old on average, up to 65 years of age. The harvest is done by hand -also a rarity in the region- to avoid any oxidation before pressing. There is an immediate light débourbage (separation of juice from gross lees), then a 4-week fermentation at 68 degrees, followed by 6 months of aging in stainless-steel vats on fine lees.

  • Ft Extrazyme Terroir (En)
    DATA SHEET EXTRAZYME TERROIR ENZYMATIC PREPARATIONS Enzymes for maceration and extraction highly concentrated. ŒNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS EXTRAZYME TERROIRis a pectolytic enzyme preparation with highly concentrated additional capabilities that considerably accelerates the breakdown of the cell walls making up the grape's berry. Thanks to its wide and active spectrum, EXTRAZYME TERROIR is the enzyme formula best adapted to preparing red-grape wines of high potential. Indeed, with this type of grape harvest, it provides rapid colour stabilisation, concentrating the structure whilst also encapsulating it through the action of the polysaccharides arising from the hydrolysed pectins. With poorer grapes, EXTRAZYME TERROIR provides significant gains in colour and tannins whilst also reducing the mechanical pulverisation and other operations needed for their extraction. The ratio of free-run juice to pressing wine is improved, which contributes to the overall quality of the resulting wine, giving more volume in the mouth and more structure but less astringency. PROPERTIES - Origin: Concentrated and purified extracts from various strains of Aspergillus niger. - Main enzymatic reactions: polygalacturonase, pectin esterase, pectin lyase. Suppresses secondary pectolytic enzymes for the hydrolysis of the pectic hairy regions, as well as hemi-cellulase and cellulase enzymes that help to weaken the grape berry. Suppresses secondary glycosidase enzymes. - Cinnamyl esterase reaction: average. - Format: Perfectly soluble micro-granules. DOSE RATE • 3 to 6

  • Silvaner Subtle, Shapely & Stylish
    Silvaner subtle, shapely & stylish A RENDEZVOUS WITH TRADITION 3 THE STYLE OF SILVANER WINES Silvaner is one of the most important white grape varieties in German viticul- tural history. From its debut in Germany in the second half of the 17th century through the mid-1960s, it was the most widely planted grape variety in Germany. At its peak, it was cultivated in ca. half of Germany’s total vineyard area. It replaced inferior grape varieties, including Elbling and Gutedel, until it was supplanted by the more prolific grape Müller-Thurgau. But Silvaner has made its comeback. The world’s largest acreage of Silvaner lies in Germany, with ca. 5,000 ha (12,500 acres), where it is the fifth most important grape today, equal to 5% of the country’s vineyard area. Of this 2,371 ha (ca. 5,859 acres) are planted in Rhein hessen and 1,406 ha (3,474 acres) in Franken, the world's largest Silvaner regions. The grape is particularly adept at reflecting its terroir: mineral tones clearly underscore fruity, spicy or herbal / vegetal aromas remi- niscent of honeydew melon, apricot, apple, orange or lemon peel; coriander; celery and new-mown hay or grass; and sometimes, toasty notes – as depicted in the glass to the right. Silvaner 4 A RENDEZVOUS WITH TRADITION Leading producers plant Silvaner in top sites that are protected from wind and cold, yet have good circulation and sufficient moisture. If left unchecked, it is a prolific bearer of grapes suitable for uncomplicated everyday wines. With quality-oriented vineyard maintenance, including stringent pruning, Silvaner grapes can produce very good and excellent Prädikat wines.
