THIERRY DELAUNAY TOURAINE GAMAY « LA VIGNETTE » Thierry Delaunay’s 21 hectares of vineyards are situated in Pouillé above the banks of the Cher, 50 kilometres east of Tours. This is the very center of the appellation contrôlée region of Touraine. These vineyards have been cultivated by 5 generations of the same family, passing from father to son. The first wines were bottled at the domaine in 1971. Since then, the Delaunay family has worked to improve the quality of their wines by combining the best of traditional practices with the latest wine making technology. Their wines have steadily gained a reputation both in France and abroad as exceptionally well-crafted, modern-styled expressions of Touraine wines. To satisfy the ever-increasing demand for his wines, Thierry has developed a successful negociant trade. Sourcing grapes from his own vineyards and from local growers, Thierry has created “La Vignette” Touraine Sauvignon and Touraine Gamay and Rosé. These wines offer exceptional value in the charming, refreshing style of classic Loire Valley wines.

Exploring an Oregon Biodynamic Treasure: the Johan
Exploring an Oregon Biodynamic Treasure: The Johan Vineyard 6 bottles, 4 grapes, 3 wineries, 1 Special Site $150 (36 available) The Johan vineyard was planted in 2005, and from the very beginning its 85 acres under vine have been Biodynamically farmed with the goal of creating and nurturing an ecosystem above, below, and in between the vines. It is a very special place for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and a host of other grape varieties planted there. It is located in Oregon’s newest sub AVA (American viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley, The Van Duzer Corridor AVA. There are many factors that differentiate this area from those surrounding it. The primary factor is that the vineyards are directly affected by powerful and cooling winds from the Pacific Ocean that are funneled through a break in the mountains of the Coast Range. This cooling influence delays ripening and helps balance alcohol levels. Simultaneously the strong winds cause the grapes to develop thicker protective skins which impart flavor and structure into the finished wines. The unique soils at Johan help to balance the wines. There is a large amount of calcareous material found throughout the vineyard which helps keep acidities high and the wines bright. We wanted to explore this unique site through the different lenses of a few producers who make wine from it. Hopefully you will geek out as much as we did! Pét-Nat Rosé (of Pinot Noir) Johan Vineyards, 2019 The Johan team specifically farms one block of their vineyard to make this sparkling wine, they value it for its fruitiness and high acidity levels.

Lapierre Morgon Tech Sheet
M. LAPIERRE MORGON ILLINOIS MARKET ONLY The late Marcel Lapierre was an icon to artisan producers of top-quality Beaujolais. Working his vineyards near Villié-Morgon, in the Cru Beaujolais appellation of Morgon, Marcel began employing techniques that at the time were considered radical: organic viticulture, natural yeasts, minimal or no use of sulfur dioxide, unfiltered bottling. This style of production is often referred to as “à l’ancien” or “in the old manner,” and today has become widespread among quality growers. The results are wines of very pure fruit aromas and bright flavors, a wine that is slightly drier and a bit less alcoholic. The Lapierre wines are fruity and refreshing, yet more substantial and structured, with the ability to age. The domaine is now run by Marcel’s son, Mathieu, who continues to work according to the ideals of his father and the traditions he created. Region: Beaujolais Appellation: Morgon Owner: Mathieu Lapierre Established: 1950s Farming Practices: Organic Vineyard: 15 ha Soil: Granite Grape Varieties: 100% Gamay Avg Age of Vines: 70 years Yield/Hectare 50 hl/ha Avg Production: 100,000 bottles Vinification and Elevage: Traditional Beaujolais production methods. semi-carbonic fermentation with no added yeasts or sulfur. Aging takes place in 216 L vats for about 9 months. The wine is assembled in tank and then bottled in two different ways: unfiltered but with a small of sulfur, or “sans sufre”, without any sulfur additions whatsoever. Tasting Notes: This structured and lovely Morgon is a benchmark wine for the region; cherries, concord grape and plums abound along with a firm structure, licorice, mineral and taut acidity.

Ranging from 1400 – 2000 feet in elevation these low yielding vines are challenged by chalky limestone soils and afternoon blasts of cool marine air, a diurnal temperature swing of 40-50 degrees. Gamay Noir is the grape variety associated with Beaujolais in Southern Burgundy. Rarely found in California, Dr. Stanley Hoffman planted one acre of Gamay and 33 acres of Pinot Noir on the HMR Vineyard in 1964. Situated on the southernmost portion of the vineyard at the lowest elevation, it is cooler than the surrounding terrain. All Beaujolais style wines are not the same. Winemaker Jeremy Weintraub has made Adelaida’s first “Cru Beaujolais”. Cru Beaujolais is the term awarded to 10 villages that have the best terroir, meeting a higher standard than basic Beaujolais i.e. smaller vineyard yields and traditional barrel aging protocols. Previous Gamay wines at Adelaida have been in the “Nouveau” style producing a simple, fruity, drink now, celebratory wine, released a mere 7 weeks after harvest. Winemaking this year employed foot treading, stem inclusion, open top fermenting with punch downs and 14 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Inspired by the diversity of the Willamette Valley’s soils and microclimates, Grochau sources fruit from seven organic and sustainably- farmed vineyards.
