Wines here combine a classic Champagne elegance with the signature Bouzy power, especially in wines such as the estate’s ‘Oeil de Perdrix.’ This unique rosé is a taste of Champagne history, a style of wine long forgotten before winemaker Delphine Vesselle—to honor the traditions of her Champagne-making grandparents—brought it back with great success.

    JR-Diffusion-Portfol

    BRAND PORTFOLIO When you’re seeking earth’s natural chemistry, microbiology & true love for the fruit in one single wine, your best bet is to turn to small producers. These wine makers have the luxury to craft quality because they don’t cater to mass-market demands. And when you want to reach them, only independent wine merchants will roll up their sleeves to find them for you. When you live in a world overwhelmed by technology, there’s a constant search for simplicity & urge to go back to old, traditional ways. JR Diffusion is exactly that! Based in South of France, we handpick rising Artisan vine growers from surprising “terroirs”. We’re bringing you back the lost origins of French wines & the true meaning of what “terroir” stands for! From sustainable practices to humble farmers that follow early monks’ practices, we work with vine growers that dedicated their life to create wine masterpieces. Dreamers, agronomists, vintners... I spent times in vineyards across France and overseas to unearth “artists vignerons”. The raw experience that comes with soil under your nails is the most authentic knowledge. I have learned their way of growing vines, making wines and drinking `brut de cuve`. This portfolio is promoting years and years of vine growing tradition with the same philosophy; growing organic, biodynamic or natural berries. Why JR Diffusion? It’s wine simplicity. It’s an attitude. It’s harkening back to lost ways of living. It’s a philosophy. Yours & Ours. Sylvain Boutee Marcel Gisclard Vincent Rapin Lionel Faury Clos des Boutes Domaine

  • 250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne

    250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne

    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.

    Natural, Organic & Biodynamic Wine

    Natural, Organic & Biodynamic Wine “NATURAL” Wine: • General, broad reference to wines made in low-tech, non-interventionist style, e.g…. o Low or no use of chemicals in vineyard o Native yeasts used in fermentation o Low or no use of sulfur in winery o No chemical or technical “adjustments” to the final wine • Technically, zero regulations about what can/can’t be declared “natural” “ORGANIC” Wine: • Organic defined by USDA National Organic Program (NOP) as a product that uses no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation • To be labeled as organic in US, must be inspected and approved by USDA • TTB, USDA and NOP labeling laws for wines sold in the US: o Organic: at least 95% organically produced ingredients and NO added sulfur allowed (or less than 10 ppm) o 100% Organic: 100% organically produced ingredients and NO added sulfur allowed (or less than 10 ppm) § Additional approved labeling: USDA Organic seal; “Certified Organic by ____” o Made from organic grapes: MUST note “contains sulfites” § Is it a problem if “made from organic grapes” can also include up to 30% non- organic grapes or “other ingredients”? § Is it a problem if many wines are made entirely organically yet with sulfur and so can’t be labeled organic when sold in US? § In the EU, wines with up to 100 ppm of sulfites can be labeled organic “BIODYNAMIC” Wine: • Biodynamic agriculture is a sustainable system proposed by Rudolf Steiner that involves using natural preparations in the field and following the lunar calendar for viticulture/vinification steps o Natural preparations are all organic, herb-, root- or animal-based products o Lunar calendar suggests fruit/flower/root/leaf days corresponding to certain tasks such as picking, pruning, racking, bottling • Many producers practice biodynamics but are not certified (expensive process) • Major certifying body is Demeter; certified wines can carry seal on their label All class outlines are copyright of Corkbuzz Wine Studio.
