1 x Domaine Duseigneur Sakura Rouge 2022 - Rhone, France

Organic

Winemaker "the color is dark purple. The nose is fine, intense, on sloe, cherry stone; pepper and sweet spices. The palate is round, ample, velvety, with a pulpy/juicy texture with expressive fruit, and a more vegetal touch. The latter is accentuated on the finish, reinforced by the bitterness of the stone, complemented by a delicious black fruit."

Syrah 100%
Alcohol: 13%

In Japan, cherry blossoms are considered symbols of evolution, change and transition. They mean that we should not get attached to things because time always moves forward, and we are bound to lose them.

The Samurais made this tattoo to remind us that life was fragile, and that they could lose it at any moment.

Bernard Duseigneur "Seizing the opportunity that nature gives us; that is the essence of biodynamics for me"

Bernard Duseigneur, hailing from a lineage of winemakers, assumed control of the family's domaine in 2002 after a stint in investment banking. Returning to his Mediterranean origins, he continued the legacy of his father and brother, ultimately settling in Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the left bank of the Rhône.

In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the terroir isn't solely defined by iconic orange pebbles; it comprises diverse soils like red clays, limestone, sandstone sands, and loams from the Rhone's banks. Acknowledging that exceptional terroir alone isn't enough for quality wines, Bernard prioritizes soil vitality. His team nurtures a diverse flora and fauna that mobilize trace elements, fostering symbiosis between plant and soil.

1 x Les Centenaires La Bergerie Rouge Costières de Nimes (Organic) 2018 - Rhone, France

14/20 La Revue du Vin de France

Organic

Winemaker "A full-bodied mouthfeel with notes of strawberry, cherry and white pepper, with supple tannins and a lovely length."

40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Carignan

Clos des Centenaires was founded Luc Baudet of Chateau Mas-Neuf fame, and Californian wine industry veteran, Jack Edwards who both share a passion for artisan wines and the terroir of France’s Southern Rhone.

Clos des Centenaires is a historic vineyard situated in Costieres de Nimes, close to the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyard boasts 70-year-old Grenache vines which are deeply rooted in the pebble stones overlooking the picturesque lakes of Petite Camargue. The vineyard also features Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, and Cinsault, and is known for producing unique, high-end, elegant wines of excellent value.

The vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost). Inputs are limited to organically approved natural products.

Costieres de Nimes is the most southerly appellation of the Rhone wine region in southeastern France. The wines of the area are reputed to have been consumed by the Ancient Greeks and thus figure among the oldest known wines in the world. The Costieres de Nimes AOC covers an area between the towns of Nimes and Arles.

The Rhone Valley is one of France's key wine regions and is divided neatly by a gap of about 25 miles (40km). Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.

Southern Rhone Red Blend refers to a wide range of grape varieties often blended together to make wines in the southern reaches of the Rhone Valley in the south of France. While the blend could theoretically consist of any of a wide range of grape varieties, it is usually made up of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, in varying proportions, typically with Grenache and Syrah as the dominant partners.

1 x Domaine Blanc Lenoir Macon-Villages Blanc 2022 - Burgundy, France

Bronze - Wine Enthusiast (2013 vintage)
Bronze - Wine & Spirit Magazine (2010 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "Tight, crisp and fruity, this is a refreshing and bright wine. Lively acidity cuts right through the lightly mineral texture. Full of fruit, fresh and lively." (2013 vintage)

Winemaker "A brilliant pale gold colour with green tints. Intense white blossom aromas delicately enhanced by hints of lemon. The palate confirms this delightful bouquet, offering a whole range of fruit and floral aromas. Superbly full-bodied. A seductive wine."

100% Chardonnay

The LENOIR family has been making wine, father and son, for more than five generations. The Domain is located in Saint Maurice de Satonnay (13 km north of Mâcon), and well-known for the high quality of its Mâcon-Villages. Part of the typically Mâcon-style home was built at least 300 years ago.

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors. By law, if a label says “Chablis,” it must be Chardonnay.
