Grown on the flat and hilly (at 150-200 m. above sea level) areas of the North-Eastern regions of Italy. Vineyards: 4,000/5,500 grapevines per hectare (average age: 10 - 15 years). The grapes are harvested by hand in September and are de-stemmed and crushed. The crushed grapes undergo fermentation /maceration, which lasts 5/6 days at a temperature of 24/25° C; then the wine is drawn from the marc and undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Then it is cleared and stabilized and is allowed to age a couple of months after bottling. Astoria "Caranto" Pinot Noir is ruby red in color with pleasant aromas of strawberry and raspberry. This wine presents intense fruit flavor with a soft round lingering finish.

Established in 1850 by Emile Dubois, today the Domaine is run by grandson Claude Chevalier with his two daughters, Julie and Chloé. The Domaine totals 15 hectares, lying on south-easterly facing chalky-clay soils, and is situated in Ladoix, right on the doorstep of Aloxe-Corton, in the north of the Côte de Beaune. This is a Pinot Noir of incredible purity and elegance. Very characteristic ruby garnet in colour, with soft red fruit perfumes of raspberries and red cherries and excellent depth of flavour.

This remote vineyard, 10km west of Arcenant, sits at 400 meters’ altitude, with steep (40% incline) south-facing slopes of white marl and limestone. The vines here were planted in 1986 and 2002. It always achieves really good maturity. A deep bouquet for a Hautes Côtes but the fruit is pure and still spritely, sporting cherry, wild strawberry and light spice flavors, with a hint of smoke.

Maurice Drouhin was for many years Administrator of the Hospices de Beaune and was then Vice-President of its administrative Commission from 1941 to 1955. At the same time, he ran the Beaune négociant-éleveur Joseph Drouhin. His generous donation of top vineyards constitutes one of the largest Cuvées of Beaune 1er Cru in the Domaine des Hospices (covering 2.69 ha.). 40% of the land lies in Les Avaux, 25% each being Champs Pimonts and Boucherottes, the balance Les Grèves. Bright cherry-red color. A good level of concentration both on the nose and in the palate. A well-balanced wine, sometimes discreet but with a real charm.

The fruit for this wine comes from old vines, mostly from the Côte de Nuits, which ensures that the quality of the blend is far higher than that of a standard Bourgogne. The vineyard management here is stringent and uses specific techniques to control yields, guaranteeing a good concentration of flavours in the grapes. These techniques include de-budding, cluster thinning, little or no use of fertiliser and environmentally-friendly vine protection. Bright ruby red in color with pronounced aromas of wild strawberry and raspberry with hints of black pepper. On the palate, flavors of juicy red fruits and sweet spice are well-balanced with bright, lifted acidity and round, silky tannins. An excellent value Red Burgundy.

The wine keeps juicing up out of its tannins with delicate yet persistent power, the unambiguous message of the vineyard charged by its marriage with oak into something delicious.

Coteaux Bourguignons only became an appellation in 2011 and allows both Burgundian red grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Gamay, to be blended. This wine has a red fruit palate of cherry and redcurrant, with a touch of licorice and rose petal for good measure. A versatile food wine that pairs well with anything from red meat to poultry to mild cheese. Drink now to enjoy all of its fruitiness.

Ethereal, layered and nuanced with red fruit, herbs, and spices. Light in colour, but mighty in intensity.

Born and bred in Marsannay you’d think that Sylvain Pataille would have had wine in his veins. He is not from a winemaking family however, and went to wine school in Beaune from the age of 14. Vineyard holdings are managed according to organic and biodynamic principles and when replanting is necessary is is undertaken via massale selection with cuttings from some of the most outstanding producers in Burgundy. In the winery SO2 is used to a minimum, and oak is more of a vessel than a flavouring, aiding the elevage.
