Pinotfile Volume 6, Issue 37 the First Wine Newsletter Exclusively Devoted to Pinotphiles
The Proof of Pinot is in the Drinking PinotFile Volume 6, Issue 37 The First Wine Newsletter Exclusively Devoted to Pinotphiles August 24, 2007 Inside this issue: When I’m Sixty-Four Kalin Cellars 6 Sixty-four is not a major age milestone, but I will take it anyway. Paul McCartney School House Vnyd 7 memorialized aging in his love song, “When I’m Sixty-Four,” written at the tender Tipsy Dog Pinot 8 age of 16. I gathered up a few wine cronies, most of whom are hovering around my Lost Canyon 9 same age, raided my cellar for some good Burgs and sat down on a Sunday after- noon to celebrate another year. The well-cellared wines turned out to be vinous Bien Nacido Redux 10 treasures resulting in a very memorable tasting. Here is the lineup with some Small Sips 12 commentary. All wines had appropriate fills and there were no corkage issues. Central Coast 13 1943 Bouchard Pere & Fils Volnay 11-14% alc.. You never open a bottle like this with high expectations, but it is nevertheless always a thrill when the wine is this old. The black cork came out cleanly. The wine was a surprise to all. The color was medium ruby with only a trace of orange tinge at the rim. There was still notable sweet red fruits on the palate with a little spice and fecundity. The wine was delicate with cashmere tannins. It was a brief, but memorable fling for the wine was spent an hour later. There were great diffi- culties to overcome to make wine in France during the war years. -

Craft + Estate Presents
CRAFT + ESTATE PRESENTS Location: Morey-Saint-Denis Grape Variety: Pinot Noir Domaine Michel Magnien has evolved into a Burgundy producer of a singular style and philosophy in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Michel Magnien was born in 1946 and worked alongside his father Bernard from an early age. The Magniens sold their grapes to the local cooperative until 1993 when his son Frédéric joined the family business and persuaded his father to bottle the entire harvest themselves. Frédéric Magnien began experimenting with organic practices in the late 1990s and the entire production was certified biodynamic by Demeter in 2015. BIODYNAMIC VITICULTURE In both organic and biodynamic viticulture, no chemical inputs sprays and compost in minute doses, much like homeopathic remedies are used in the vineyard. In organic viticulture, chemicals such as are for humans. Timely applications revitalize the soil and stimulate herbicides and pesticides are forbidden. The philosophy behind root growth, enhance the development of microorganisms and humus biodynamic methods is to revive the soils through holistic means. formation, and aid in photosynthetic activity. Biodynamics strengthens the vitality and resistance of plants by The cosmic phase of biodynamic viticulture allows the plant to improving the natural exchanges between soil and the roots, and strengthen and to energize itself thanks to natural force rather than between sky and the plant. This is accomplished in two ways: the working against nature. The moon strongly influences the way sap use of specific preparations in the vineyard and the consideration runs through the vine and brings rhythm to each step of Frédéric’s of moon phases. -
