We also joined with a number of our other colleagues from this event to hold a trade tasting at The Bentley Bar and Restaurant on the Monday following Mental Notes. We are now gearing up for the other two major events on the natural wine calendar – Rootstock in Sydney and Soul For Wine in Melbourne. We are delighted that both Tony and Philippe Bornard will be attending Rootstock this year. To celebrate their visit we will be holding two very special events. The first will be a late lunch in Hobart at Franklin Restaurant and the second will be a dinner at the wonderful Bar Brosé in Sydney which will be cooked by Analeise Gregory as described below. And now to the special packs. We have a rather long story on the Côte de Beaune and a 6 pack of wines selected from that region of Burgundy. We have a special dozen comprised of wines that include very rare grape varieties that we like to seek out from the hidden corners of France. There is a pack of wines from our winemaker of the month, namely Domaine les Grandes Vignes from the Loire Valley.

  • 50089414 Tm Elian Daros Abouriou Marmandais
    ELIAN&DA&ROS,&“ABOURIOU”& CÔTES&DU&MARMANDAIS&2018& ! ! ! Grandson of Italian immigrants who settled in Cocumont, little village of the Lot- et-Garonne, in 1922, Elian Daros has become a figure in the South-West, with wines considered as models of excellence. After working at domaine Zind- Himbrecht during 6 years he took over the estate in 1997, 3 years after, his estate was certified organic and fully biodynamic in 2002. ! In Cocumont the pallet of Terroir is incredible, a diversity that call for an eclecticism in the choice of grape varieties. With the South-West indigenous Malbec, Abouriou & Cabernet Franc he blends Bordeaux varietals, as well as Syrah, Rhône Valley’s favorite. In a region known for powerful and high alcohol wines, Elian chooses another path, finding balance, finesse and elegance through savant use of each grape’s particularity. Abouriou is indigenous to the South-West of France, very popular in the early 1900s for its resistance and precocity (“Aboriu” means early ripening in local dialect), it nearly disappeared and now represent only 700 acres in the Marmandais and in the coastal part of the Loire when it found a new Eldorado. In Elian’s quest of wild varieties suitable to the global warming Abouriou is ideal since it shows a great tolerance to heat and sun while preserving great balance with alcohol and physiological ripeness. SOIL TYPE Clay and gravel (Abouriou) & clay and limestone (Merlot). VARIETAL 90% Abouriou, 10% Merlot. Massal selection exclusively. CULTURE Organic treatment such as Trace element, essential oils as well as infusion of horsetail and nettle manure.

  • South West France Buying Report “Mille Cent Kilos, Oui
    The Sampler – South West France Buying Report “Mille Cent Kilos, Oui Monsieur, Mille Cent. Pourquoi est-ce qu’il rigolé?” Hello folks, and welcome to our little trip report following a recent marathon trip across the south west of France in search of wines of character and value. If that’s not what you were looking for, for instance a recipe for boiled asparagus, or how to fix a leaking roof, I’d check your typing and re-google. Still here? Good, lets get stuck in. The Planning So why bother? Well, the wines of south west France are not that well known in the UK and so not that many agency businesses bother to stock many wines from the area. Those that do seem to have largely stuck with the same old names for many years (Montus in Madiran, Cedre and Clos Treguidina in Cahors), and though good, a lot of these wines have recently become extremely expensive. Once you move away from Madiran and Cahors, there is almost nothing available at all, yet there are a vast range of different terroirs and plenty of young vignerons keen to make a name for themselves. So we thought we would have a look and see if we could find something. Sebastien was on the phone for at least 3 months in the preparation, talking to winemakers, journalists, local experts, mates, random people, relatives, and dogs, and after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing we agreed a list of about 30 estates to visit. The hope was to find wines in one (or more) of three categories: • Great value wines which over-deliver when compared to their more famous competitors.

    AOC : Bergerac red Cépages : Périgord (Mérille) Abouriou Merlot Cabernets (Franc et Sauvignon) Côt (sélection massale) Fer Terroir : Clayey-limestone soils Vinification : Wine without sulphur. All bunches are destemmed, before being put directly into the vats on indigenous yeasts (thanks to the pied de cuve method of doing a very small pre-harvest to start the natural fermentation going). 20 days of maceration, during which 10 days a quick fermentation takes place until there are 0 grams of sugar left. The malolactic fermentation occurred in December 2015. The wine was bottled without being filtered in April 2016 without the addition of sulphur. 13,5% alc and no trace of Brettanomyces when analysed. Potentiel de garde : between 2 ans 4 years. Albert, him, drinks it in the year ! Style : The 2017 vintage boasts a deep grenat-colour with a bright purple touch. It lets off intense aromas of very fresh & ripe fruit, with a soft floral note too. The mouth is full, round and delicious with a delicately light sweetness and a lovely freshness. A real fruity wine! Label illustration : [email protected] Histoire : Albert planted this plot in the 60's., helped by his brother Primo. They deliberately blended several grape varieties in order to obtain a very fruity, complex and low-alcohol wine. Albert (Francis' father and Guillaume's grandfather) used to pick grapes on this plot to make his own wine, elaborated without any sulphur addition. We wanted to pay tribute to him by making a wine the way he used to make it, the way he liked it - and still likes it today! La Vigne d’Albert is fruity, easydrinking wine - uncork a bottle now !.
