  • FAMILLE LIEUBEAU Muscadet Cru Goulaine the ESTATE Granite Rock Was Used for Centuries to Build the Massive Fortresses That Dot the Landscape of Muscadet
    FAMILLE LIEUBEAU Muscadet Cru Goulaine THE ESTATE Granite rock was used for centuries to build the massive fortresses that dot the landscape of Muscadet. Its density and structure were rarely breached by arrow, cannonball, or the good ‘ole medieval siege. Because of its density and the fact that it is everywhere in Muscadet, its unclear why anyone would think that this was the place to plant hectares and hectares of vines. The Romans might have gotten a few things wrong in France, but they did get something right: they planted vines on this lunar rock of a landscape. Today, this area is called Muscadet and is home to over 8,000 hectares of Melon de Bourgogne. Famille Lieubeau farms over 40 hectares of vines and produces both Muscadet Sèvre et Maine and Vin de Pays from grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Regardless of the varietal, the vines are planted on rock, and in most cases, sheer cliffs of rock through which the roots have to bury for meters for any hydric source. The vines, and the wines, are fed by water that is awash in wet rock. It’s not a big shock that the wines smell and taste more like rock and minerals than fruit or flowers. Combine this with the cold Atlantic breezes and you’ve got an amazing cool climate, high cut, precise bottle of white wine. The Lieubeau family takes great care to vinify the wines according to exposition, density of granite, and harvest date. Farming for their Folle Blanche, Chardonnay and Sauvignon is certified by Terra Vitis and all of their Melon is now certified organic by Agriculture Biologique.

  • 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.

  • Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
    Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape. A White Wine That Breaks the Rules of White Wine Most White Wine… Chardonnay… • Contains residual sugar for a hint • Usually fermented bone dry. of sweetness. • Sometimes put through malolactic • Malolactic fermentation is avoided fermentation to reduce acidity and to bring out fruit flavor and enhance buttery qualities. freshness. • Often aged in oak barrels. • Aged in stainless steel tanks. Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties.

  • Schildknecht
    Down from the Niche: How can a soft-spoken grape raise its voice in the marketplace? David Schildknecht Talk at the Spatium Pinot Blanc, 2018 Revered sponsors and guests: The honor of speaking to you gives me great pleasure. But I take even greater pleasure in knowing that there exists such a thing as a Spatium Pinot Blanc, and accordingly I’d like to thank all of those responsible for the genesis of this event and its perpetuation. How can we help Pinot Blanc down from its largely overlooked niche? Or perhaps I should first consider whether such a helping-down is even desirable? The concept of a “niche” surfaces regularly in conversations with Pinot Blanc winegrowers, but often in a positive context. Asked, for instance, how he pictures the future of Pinot Blanc in his winery after forty-four years of efforts on its behalf, Traisental vintner Ludwig Neumayer replies affectionately that Weissburgunder will retain “the status of a very exquisite niche grape variety.” I can completely concur with “exquisite.” Shouldn’t that suffice? Maybe I just have a bug up my ass because this niche-existence offends my sense of justice. To quote my colleague Ian d’Agata: “Only rarely does Pinot Grigio reach the levels of refinement that Pinot Bianco is capable of“. And yet Pinot Gris – largely precisely as Pinot Grigio – is familiar to every wine lover the world over. Jason Lett of Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon is of the opinion that the tiny amounts of Pinot Blanc that he and a few of his winegrowing neighbors in the Willamette Valley produce “are not successful commercially because it’s too hard to differentiate the variety in people’s minds from Pinot Gris.” My own bottom line is: Having once been convinced by my palate of the virtues and superb potential of Pinot Blanc, I won’t permit myself to be dissuaded from acting as a megaphone in the service of this by nature soft-spoken grape.

  • 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.
