A light, delicate Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a green pepper note from the whole-cluster maceration, that spends a year in barrel before bottling.
Willy got his expertise first working wines in Clos du Moulin aux Moines to Auxey-Durresses, where he developed a rich understanding of the land of Cote de Beaune. Now he and his lifelong friend are making a name for themselves with AMI, In conversion to biodynamic farming, the wines come from chemical free, healthy ecosystems.
This year Sunier bottled the Montmerond plot of vines in Regnie separate from his regular Regnie blend. The wine has a gorgeous violet bouquet and an excellent balance of body and acidity.
Single vineyard Cabernet Franc with a strong maceration and some age in oak casks and concrete. Dark fruited, leathery, and tannic, this wine is a great pairing for richer game dishes.
For those seeking a wine that captures the essence of its terroir and a natural, unadulterated approach to winemaking, this bottle is an absolute must.
Château Cambon Brouilly is the kind of wine you just don't want to stop drinking. - Eric Asimov
Micro-vinification from vines on Jurrasic soil .02 degrees north from the Colline Rouge and with slightly higher elevation, giving it a brighter acidity. Since cold air flows down, the lower parts of the vineyard are at greater risk of spring frost. Diminished water at the top, facilitated by natural drainage, also means less mineralization in the wines. It results in a lower pH level, which makes the wines “finer and more elegant.” Fruit grown lower down is slightly riper and makes wines which are “rounder and more melting.”
Nothing's better than a Burgundy Pinot Noir, except maybe a Burgundy Chardonnay... D'Edouard farms biodynamically in vineyards surrounded by cherry trees and wheat fields. Pinots like this are elegant and light, with brighter acidity than warmer regions. Red berries in a bed of roses and forest underbrush.
From Cabernet Franc grown organically in clay, raised in old oak and cement. The 2020 shows hints of just-snapped pencil lead and damp flowers under a layer of earthy brett. The palate is fresh, with very fine, friendly tannins that allow the black cherry-like fruit to speak. Superb.
