  • Chiroubles 2017 Maison Passot
    MAISON PASSOT CHIROUBLES 2017 MAISON PASSOT || Maison Passot is a small 11 hectare family property spread over 4 crus in Beaujolais. Owners Dominique, Rémy and Simon continue the family tradition, going back generations. The family tends 21 plots - half of which are in Chiroubles, one quarter in Morgon, and smaller holdings in Fleurie and Régnié - in addition to some Viognier vines. All farming follows strict tenets of la lutte raisonnée for a more “natural” wine, surrounded by signs of life and rich biodiversity. BEAUJOLAIS || Located north of Lyon in eastern France, Beaujolais overlaps Burgundy in the north and Rhône in the south. The picturesque Beaujolais vineyards run along the Saône River where the Crus form a meandering path on the granite terrain. From south to north, Brouilly is followed by Côte de Brouilly, Régnié, Morgon, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Juliénas and Saint-Amour. CHIROUBLES 2017 || BLEND | 100% Gamay VINEYARDS | Chiroubles is considered “the most Beaujolais of the Crus” with its thin sandy, degraded granite soils (known locally as gore) that produce very delicate wines. Passot’s plots are 50 year old vines on slopes oriented to the southeast at 300-400 meters (the highest altitude in Beaujolais). WINEMAKING | Hand harvested grapes that undergo primary and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and cement vats. ALCOHOL | 12.7% PRESS | 92 VIN “Bright violet color. Vibrant, sharply focused red berry, cherry and floral pastille scents, along with suggestions of musky earth and licorice. In an elegant, seamless style, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up.

  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

    Beaujolais, and more specifically, the Morgons of Marcel Lapierre have a long history at Le Bouchon. Marcel Lapierre and Jean Claude Poilevey were good friends, Chef Oliver worked the wine harvest there in 2009, and I worked it in 2014. The wines of Beaujolais remain our favorite wines, and not just Lapierre, there are many producers in Beaujolais making extremely delicious (the most important wine quality) and food friendly wines from all 10 Crus, we have highlighted them here.

  • Beaujolais Master Class
    Bon jour! Some background info on me, etc. 1 2 Here ‘s some comp maps showing overall geological formations of France, and a map of the Beaujolais Cru 3 4 5 6 France accounts for almost 2/3 of sales In the US, it represents 9% of all French wine sales: of which half is Beau. Village, ca. 30% Nouveau, 11% Beau or Beau Sup. And 9% Crus 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 The vatting can last even longer up to a month or so, if one is attempting a ‘cru’ style serious wine for aging. 15 Fermentation usually starts within a day for the whole berries, while the slightly crushed fruit/juice at bottom will begin fermenting fairly quickly, before oxygen in tank is depleted. 16 17 Topographically, if one just considered the more limestone, sandy soils, one would think that the southern Beaujolais is pretty flat, but in fact much of it is still quite hilly and beautiful-perhaps more so than some of the Cru areas to the north. 18 19 Some of the Crus are NOT grown on granitic, but often a combo of metamorphic/volcanic soils. What is true is that limestone is generally not good for fine gamay, so no Cru has limestone as a main component. 20 Of course you may think that…I couldn’t possibly comment! (with apologies to the original House of Cards Sir Francis) 21 The 2013 vintage in Beaujolais was late - cool and rainy spring, which delayed flowering-- a summer of high temperatures and sunshine brought hope of reprieve.
