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.
Made with whole cluster, spontaneous fermentation from grapes grown midway up the hill in the Champs Pimonts climat. A relative bargain for a Burgundy 1er Cru in these times of exceedingly high prices for the region. Available in Canada only at Ellement; talk about exclusive!
Dessus les Vermots refers to 1 of the 29 Lieux-dits of Savigny-lès-Beaune between the Hill of Corton and Beaune. Care must be taken to harvest at the right time; too early will result in an unripe, green- tasting wine, too late and the wine loses its vital freshness. It benefits from a meticulous, customized vinification. Roundness, volume, power, and balance are all here, and in just the right proportions.
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.
Handcrafted Grenache with the grape's signature combination of high-toned red fruit and floral notes and punchy high alcohol. This wine comes from Chateauneuf-du-Pape vineyards but is declassified to Vin de France because the appellation favours blended wines.
Sunier's first vintage from 30-year-old vines planted on deep granitic soils, in the Regnié appellation, but which Antoine automatically classifies as a Beaujolais-Villages.
Antoine Sunier is working with some of the best single vineyard sites in Beaujolais. This is the perfect wine to match dark poultry meat. Also available in party size!
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.
Classic varietal character of dark berries, white pepper, tobacco, and chalk. The palate is full and energetic with long-lasting flavours of dark cherry, blackcurrant, violet, lavender, and rose petal.
