The wines of Lucien Boillot et Fils aren't the type to take a back seat. They have been variously described as meaty, substantial, tannic, robust, spicy and austere. People talk of them having a big presence on the palate. Sons Pierre and Louis Boillot now manage the domaine. There style is powerful and a wine that will cellar and soften, for years. The 1998 vintage is produced from vines over 70 years old and this is reflected in the powerful tannic structure of the wine. A ruby red colour with strong fruit flavoured aromas with a long powerful finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Rossignol Trapet TEURONS 1er Cru Beaune
Description: Since the 16th century, the ROSSIGNOL family have been winegrowers in Volnay. The TRAPET family were also traditionaly in the wine business; they were originaly set up in Chambolle-Musigny and moved to Gevrey-Chambertin at the end of the 19th century. Recently, 1961 to 1990, Jacques Rossignol with his wife Mado Trapet were both partners in the Domaine Louis Trapet which the activities ceased with the 1989 vintage. By 1990 Jacques Rossignol and his two sons, Nicolas and David subsequently set up the Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, located in Gevrey-Chambertin and owns vineyards in the internationally renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Morey-Saint-Denis and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. The grapes are exclusively hand-picked and the local pichers come every year and know perfectly how to pick the ripest grapes. When arriving to the harvesting bins, the grapes are again very severely selected. The grapes are put into harvesting bins in the fermentation room, crushed and put into vats.The grapes are destalked between 60 to 80% depending on the year. Pre-fermenting maceration, pumping-over and numerous pigeages also depend on the characteristics of the grapes. The vatting time lasts from 14 to 16 days. Every must is tasted several times a day to decide precisely when decuvage is needed. The Domaine use about 20% new oaks-barrels for each vintage and this proportion of new oak keeps the aromatic finesse and the elegance of the Pinot Noir. In January, generally, malolactic fermentation is finished and the wines are racked. The wines mature slowly in oak-barrels and therefore develop their bouquet and get their stability and structure. Before bottling, wines are slightly fined , and then bottling occurs between 11 and 14 months of barrels maturing. The 2001 vintage has a purple robe, red fruit aromas. An ample wine endowed with a beautiful delicate structure and soft tannins. (12 x 75 cl)

Louis Latour DOMAINE DE VALMOISSINE Pinot Noir Vin de Pays des Coteaux du Verdon Rouge
Description: The Domaine de Valmoissine is located on the site of the ancient monastery and university of Valmoissine at 500 metres above sea-level which guarantees sunshine during the summer months whilst remaining cool and limits the possibility of spring frosts. The ideally exposed south-facing vineyards bring the grapes to maturity at the same time as our Corton Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. They are entirely hand-picked before being fermented in stainless steel open-vats for a short period of 3-4 days. Pigeage will take place 2-3 times a day to extract colour and tannins. The wine is then matured in old oak casks from Maison Louis Latour's cooperage in Beaune in which the wines flavours and aromas develop naturally, and harmonise with the mellow wood flavours of the oak. The style of this wine resembles Burgundy's classical 'Vin Vermeil' that the first Louis Latour was producing at the end of the 18th century. Elegance and finesse packed with fruit, and a vivid 'vermeil' or bright red colour. Bottled after 8 months of maturation, it can be drunk with pleasure only a year after having been made. The resurrection of this style of wine already has a dedicated following. Soil: Argilo calcareous. Vinification: Traditional Burgundy techniques with oak-ageing. The Wine Magazine, April 1999: 90 points. 'Domaine de Valmoissine, located on a limestone plateau 50 miles North of Saint-Tropez, is cooled by mistral winds. There are no restrictions on grape varieties in this vin de pays zone which was created in 1992. Louis Latour has picked up the experimental gauntlet and created this stunning Pinot Noir. A lovely plum and blackcurrant nose. The palate has a bitter cherry, farmyard feel with an edge of ripe red plums and rich spice. A good characterful wine.' New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopaedia, Tom Stevenson: 'This stunning wine is easily the greatest vin de pays Pinot Noir ever produced. It could be the greatest vin de pays that has ever been produced from any grape variety, but it is not possible or fair to compare wines of totally different grapes and styles and say which is best. I am certain, however, that it is the most exciting vin de pays I have ever tasted. It is so soft and silky, with such a purity of fruit and so much finesse that few Burgundians would believe this is not a Burgundy, and a fine one at that. It's not cheap for a vin de pays, but it is better than many Burgundies twice its price.' The Wine Enthusiast November 15, 1998 tasting Domaine de Valmoissine 1996: 87 points. 'Pale ruby cast. Medium-bodied. Balanced acidity. Highly extracted. Mildly oaked. Brown spices, red fruits, dried herbs. Pleasantly aromatic, with a full and flavourful palate. Complex, yet delicate, with a well-balanced mouthfeel. Shows fine length and excellent varietal intensity.' Decanter October 1997 tasting Domaine de Valmoissine 1995 recommended: 'Smoky, chocolate aromas of medium intensity following onto the palate.' (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Heresztyn Grand Cru Clos Saint Denis
Description: An estate founded by a former Polish vineyard worker of Louis Trapet. Domaine Heresztyn has been one of the consistently fine producers in Gevrey Chambertin. However, as Florence Heresztyn increasingly takes the reins, they have clearly reached another level of quality. Clos Saint-Denis is situated in Morey-Saint-Denis between Clos de la Roche and Clos des Lambrays. The vineyard is planted on Liassic and Triassic limestone, a terrain that allows the roots of the vines to delve deep for mineral nourishment. Heresztyn's wine is delightful; the subtle weaving of fragrances hints at a grand cru with nuance rather than sheer power, a point reinforced by the tender fruity palate, aromatic, pretty, oozing finesse. The tannins, nevertheless, remind you that this is a true vin de garde. (6 x 75 cl)

Chateau de Pez Cru Bourgeois Saint Estephe
Description: The domaine of Pez, created in the 15th century, is, along with Calon, the oldest in Saint Estephe. In 1452, squire Jean de Briscos ruled the estate: in 1526 the nobleman Ducos was master, followed by Jean de Pontac in 1585. The Pontac family, who likewise created Haut Brion, gave Pez its vineyards. The property remained in the hands of descendants... the marquis d'Aulede and count de Fumel, until the French Revolution. Sold as a property of the state, the domaine belonged to the Tarteiron and Dousson families in succession. It was purchased in 1995 by Champagne Louis Roederer. Chateau de Pez is located west of the town of Saint Estephe, the estate consists of 30 continuous hectares, with 24 hectares under vine, planted to prime grape varieties, mainly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Chateau de Pez winery remains resolutely faithful to wood. The blend is composed in December, then the wine is stored on barrels and racked every 3 months. After approx. 1 year, roughly midway through the maturation process, the wine is fined using fresh egg whites. It is to be noted that the wine undergoes absolutely no filtration. Chateau de Pez exhibits deep colour and harmonious composition. This complete, rich, dense wine merits ageing. Thanks to the quality of its production, Chateau de Pez is counted amongst the most highly reputed crus of the Medoc. Deep, opaque ruby hue. Forward, opulent spice box, black fruit and mineral aromas. A lush entry leads to a moderately full bodied palate with velvety tannins. Supple and hedonistic with very good flavor intensity. Grippy finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnal Saint Estephe Bordeaux
Description: The domain of Pez, created in the 15th century, is, with Calon Segur, one of the oldest in Saint-Estephe. In 1452, Squire Jean de Briscos ruled the estate followed in time by Jean de Pontac in 1585. The Pontac family, who also created Haut-Brion, gave Pez its vineyards. The property remained in the hands of their descendents until the French Revolution after which it was sold as a property of the State. When Louis Roederer bought it in 1995 they immediately set about improving the vineyards and cellars. 1996 was the first vintage fully made under the new ownership, and quality has been improving ever since.

After approximately 1 year, roughly midway through the maturation process, the wine is fined using fresh egg whites. It is to be noted that the wine undergoes absolutely no filtration. A lovely, fairly sustained colour with light crimson highlights and subtle orangey tones suggesting the beginnings of evolution. The nose is Very fruity initially, then after a brief airing reveals traces of lush, ripe fruits mingled with aromas of toast and Virginia tobacco. The Palate is Elegant and supple with a rounded, supple attack. Impressive, fairly tight-grained tannins but with the softness to be expected from such a hot vintage. The alcohol content creates an impression of fatness, leaving the palate with an unusually ‘sweet’ sensation. The finish is so wonderfully rounded that you could easily mistake this for a wine from a hot terroir if you did not know otherwise. Rather atypical in style, but with that immense framework characteristic of a great Médoc. Chateau de Pez exhibits deep colour and harmonious composition.

Jean-Marc Brocard JURASSIQUE Chardonnay Bourgogne AC
Description: The Bourgogne Jurassique comes from a blend of different parcels whose the soils are dated from the upper Jurassic geological era. Within the three Geological Chardonnays, the Jurassique is the more classic and balanced. The wine produced on these soils displays subtle mineral characteristics while it is dry, lemony and fresh in style with good acidity and fruity finish it is a wine made to be drunk young. Jean-Marc Brocard's origins lie in the Cote d'Or. For he is a farmer's son from the village of Chaudenay-le-Chateau, not even the son of the vigneron. It was an accident of marriage that brought him to wine, he married Claudine , a vigneron's daughter from the village of St-Bris-le-Vineux in the valley of Yonne. Starting with a hectare of vines from his father-in-law, Emile Petit, he has created an estate of some 120 hectares vineyards in Chablis and Burgundy today. Jean-Marc acknowledges a considerable debt to one of the old vignerons of St-Cyr les Colons, a man Louis Petit, who despite the name is unrelated to his father-in-law. The oldest vines of the Domaine Sainte Claire came from Louis Petit and it was he who gave to Jean-Marc the sense of tradition and a respect for nature, showing him that you can still maintain the old traditions, while practicing modern methods.
