- Chateau Tire Pe | Bordeaux | Mosaique Wines
Chateau Tire Pe is owned by David and Hélène Barrault, they took over this small vineyard in 1997. Blessed with rich clay and limestone soils, this vineyard possesses fantastic southern exposure and overlooks the Gironde River. CHATEAU TIRE PE Bordeaux Organic certified Chateau Tire Pe is owned by David and Hélène Barrault, they took over this small vineyard in 1997. Blessed with rich clay and limestone soils, this vineyard possesses fantastic southern exposure and overlooks the Garonne River. The Chateau takes its name from a colourful local tale about what small animals “leave behind” before climbing the Tire Pé hill. We’ll leave that to your imagination. The vineyard is composed of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, along with some rare local grapes called Castets, Mancin des Palus and vines of Pineau d’Aunis originating from the Loire. The Barrault’s farm vines of 10-35 years old organically, a practice they started to implement in 2008, becoming officially Ecocert certified since the 2014 vintage. They also practice some biodynamic principles, as well as ploughing the vines with horses. The latter fits in perfectly with equestrian centre which Hélène is running at the farm, ensuring animals, like vines, are a big part of Tire Pe. All grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed, with each plot harvested and fermented separately with natural yeast. Great care is taken to gently extract the supple fruit and terroir, that Bordeaux is so well known for, into each cuvee they produce. David and Helene’s wines are bottled without systematic filtration and only small amounts or no sulphur is added depending the vintage and the cuvee. Their naturally-made wines are vibrant, authentic and full of fruit. We personally love their texture and generosity of flavour. We are very excited to import these wines and we hope Australia will rediscover the beauty of Bordeaux with wines like Tire Pe! www. tirepe.blogspot.com Shop wines Quick View 2022 Chateau Tire Pe, AOC Bordeaux Price $59.00 GST Included Quick View 2015 Chateau Tire Pe, AOC Bordeaux 'La Cote' red Out of stock Quick View 2019 Chateau Tire Pe, Vin de France 'L'Echappée' Price $93.00 GST Included Quick View 2019-20 Chateau Tire Pe, Vin de France 'La Nomade' Pineau d'Aunis' Price $56.00 GST Included

- Domaine Francois & Julien Pinon | Vouvray | Mosaique Wines
Importer and distributor of organic, biodynamic and sustainable French wines from Champagne, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Bordeaux and beyond. DOMAINE JULIEN & FRANCOIS PINON Vouvray Organic certified It’s a rare phenomenon that the Wine Spectator, The New York Times and The Robert Parker Guide are all in agreement, yet it’s a feat managed by Julien and Francois Pinon. Mentioned in the same breath as Huet by Asimov, considered benchmark chenin blanc by Wine Spectator and the producer of ‘ethereal’ wines according to Parker’s outlet. Happily, we can confirm, these are wines deserving of their praise. Established in 1786, the estate of Julien and Francois Pinon has been built up over eight generations and now covers 13.5 hectares in the Vallée de Cousse. Today, father and son duo, François and Julien, continue the tradition of ‘old school’ winemaking with a contemporary edge, passed down when François took the reins in 1987. Leaving behind a career in child psychology, François took over the estate from his father, and focused on emphasising ecologically friendly vineyard and cellar practices. The family operation now includes his son, Julien, who also changed careers, from city planning, to join his father in the cellar. Sadly, Francois and his father both passed away in 2021. The wines are recognised as some of the very best in the region, a reflection of the dedication of the family to their craft. To allow the rich and diverse terroir to sing, Julien and Francois committed to farming organically, with Ecocert Organic certification awarded in 2003. These practices include using organic treatments when needed and only in small doses, working the clay, limestone and flint soils mechanically and banning the use of pesticides. The vineyards are mainly comprised of chenin blanc, grolleau and cot, over 14ha with an average vine age of 50 years. When the time comes, the grapes are hand harvested over three weeks, by a team of 30 to allow for optimal grape selection. As a result, the grapes come into the winery as pristine whole bunches. The first pick will always be the sparkling wines, followed by the dry, and then slightly sweeter wines. In special years when the conditions are right, botrytis affected grapes will be picked last to create the winery’s sweetest wines. After being pressed, the juice is stored in large vats for 12-24 hours, while the solid matter settles to the bottom of the tank. When the juice is clear, ferment occurs without the addition of yeast. The wines are then housed in Pinon’s spectacular cellars, tunneled into hillside rock of the hillside, in a mixture of old oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to juggle the balancing act of still and sparkling winemaking. The wines remain on their fine lees until Easter. After one rack and a filtration, they are bottled over the course of April. Forget the chocolate eggs, we’d much prefer the Easter Bunny deliver these benchmark Vouvray to our door!

- Domaine Laguerre | Roussillon | Mosaique Wines
Domaine Laguerre, is one of the finest domains in the Roussillon, with high-altitude mountain vineyards producing vibrant wines of terroir. The Domaine is run by the enthusiastic and energetic Éric Laguerre DOMAINE LAGUERRE Roussillon Organic certified and Biodynamic, in-conversion Domaine Laguerre, is one of the finest domains in the Roussillon, with high-altitude mountain vineyards producing vibrant wines of terroir. The Domaine is run by the enthusiastic and energetic Éric Laguerre, who took over his family's 40 hectares of vineyards in 1999. Resolving to go back to basics and grow / make wine as naturally as possible from the start, Eric and his wife Corinne restored and replanted most of the vine-land and bottled their first vintage in 2001. The result is organically-farmed and naturally-made artisanal Roussillon wines, offering superb wines and incredible value. A visit to Eric in the tiny village of Saint Martin de Fenouillet (not far from Maury) requires steep climbs through a mountain pass up to the highest, cooler climate vineyards in the Roussillon (500 meters elevation). Here you’ll find plantings of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cabernet for red and, Grenache Blanc, Rolle, Roussanne, Marssanne Macabeu for whites, with an average vine age of 40 years old. The vines sit on acidic terroir made of gneiss and broken-down granite with some pockets of quartz and decomposed granite. These soils combined with the cool climate, the “tramontane” winds, low yields and Éric's superb farming, create distinctive bright, balanced wine with freshness, fruit definition, excellent mineral tension that deepens with time in bottle. In the vineyards, organic and biodynamic practices are observed, with certification awarded for the former and soon for the latter. Harvest in this area is typically late for the region, starting at the end of September and lasting until mid-October. The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning to ensure freshness, with sorting done in the vines. The grapes are then taken to the cellar and fermented with natural yeast, and vinified separately in vessels such as fibre tanks, concrete tanks and old oak demi-muid. Wines from Roussillon are often undiscovered gems. The whites combine purity along with weight and ripe fruit flavours. The reds on the other hand are often high in alcohol (over 14% natural) but not heavy. “Le Ciste Blanc” This white blend is one of the most interesting whites of southern France, comprising Grenache Blanc, Rolle (Vermentino), Marsanne, Roussanne, and Macabeu. "Eos Blanc" This wine is a rewarding discovery for anyone seeking an intriguing wine of terroir at an affordable price. 65% Grenache Blanc, 35% Macabeu. The increased percentages of Macabeu have made this lovely wine even more distinctive. "Eos Rouge" An elegant and brighter red, blend of 80% Grenache from 40-year-old gobelet-trained vines, with some Carignan and Syrah. “Domaine Laguerre, in the Roussillon. An absolute gem. Superb every day wine, you can age 10+ years, for a ridiculous price. Superb farming in the altitude vineyards above Perpignan, old vines gardened with love, grapes handled with dedicated care. How can this vigneron not be more revered for offering such treats at such value. White and red. Entry level cuvée or « grande cuvée ». It makes me so happy and excited to be able to open his wines at Racines NY.

- Domaine de Brin | Gaillac | Mosaique Wines
Damien Bonnet took over the family Domaine in 2008, his understanding of this environment is evident as he can reel off the smallest details of the surrounding 10 hectares. He wasted no time gaining organic certification and experimenting with concrete and amphora to produce a natural style of wine, domaine de brin Gaillac, South-West France Organic certified The Gaillac region is undoubtedly one of France’s oldest, and fast becoming it’s most exciting. Leading the charge is Domaine de Brin, with a young gun winemaker and a revival of rare varieties. Damien Bonnet took over the family Domaine in 2008, his understanding of this environment is evident as he can reel off the smallest details of the surrounding 10 hectares. He wasted no time gaining organic certification and experimenting with concrete and amphora to produce a natural style of wine, taking biodynamic principals and lunar calendars into the process. These were significant changes for Damien and his parents, moving the farm from selling to the local coop and polyculture; to bottling and selling their own wines. South facing vines are finding their expression in calcareous and white clay soils. Sitting on the 285-metre plateau on the right bank of the Tarn river, Gaillac benefits of both Mediterranean and Atlantic unique influence. Vineyard wise, Damien is using natural weeding methods, working the soil between the vines. When needed, they use organic fertiliser including horse beans and oats to enrich the soils. His aim for the vines is to obtain an equilibrium allowing a low yield of 20-35 hl/ha with healthy and perfectly ripe grapes. Each grape variety is manually harvested at its optimum maturation. The grapes are turned into wine using natural yeasts. The maturing takes place at a slow pace according to the rhythm of the seasons, in concrete and large format old oak that is an essential part of his winemaking style, along with minimising the use of sulphites. Pierres Blanches This white blend aged in old barrel, displays apple and hazelnut aromas with oxidative sherry-like notes. La Vie en Rosé is a heady, aromatic showcase of strawberries, grapefruit, lychee, as well as blueberries with a lot of texture. Vendemia The medium bodied red Vendemia is ripe with crunchy tannins and notes of blackcurrants. Amphore This cuvee aged in amphora is very vibrant and bright with spicy red berries and pure velvety finish.

- Domaine Raphael Chopin | Beaujolais | Mosaique Wines
Young Raphael Chopin is rapidly becoming one of the most promissing Beaujolais producer from his vineyard in Lantigné. In conversion to organic Raphael benefits from older vineyards including vines in Regnié and Morgon. Domaine Raphael Chopin Beaujolais Organic, in-conversion Beaujolais represents 18,000 hectares of vines, with this Beaujolais producer only farming 5 of them. Raphael Chopin, as humble as he is, shares an artistic talent just like his namesake. It was perhaps meant to be that he became a winemaker, auspiciously born on November 21st - the celebration of Beaujolais Nouveau. Add to this, winemaking was already in his blood, having a winemaker grandfather. With the encouragement of his mother and grandmother, Raphael proudly and painstakingly revived his grandfather's vineyard, restoring it to something rather special. After studying in France, Raphael dreamed of California, but vintage was at the same time as in Beaujolais, so Australia came naturally as the place to go for a vintage stint. He then returned to Beaujolais, bringing grandfather's estate back to life with the beautiful 2009 vintage. Chopin's original vineyard in Lantignié is a beautiful mix of 28 year old young vines, planted in 1989, as well as some rare older 110 year old vines planted in 1905, with 100% Gamay as the only red grape allowed in Beaujolais. It is from this La Savoye vineyard that the Beaujolais-Villages is made from. This pocket size vineyard produces just 11,000 bottles, with Lantigné’s vintners working on a project with the AOC board to become the 11th Beaujolais, Cru and the first Beaujolais Cru to be 100% certified. Extending the family holdings, Chopin now also own small holdings in Morgon and Régnié, creating wines to express these diverse terroirs. Raphael farm the vineyard organically, working towards certification. This means no use of chemicals, instead he uses essential oils, copper and limited levels of sulphur. He is tilling the soil, hand harvesting and sorting, essentially managing his small vineyard like he would a precious garden. The result is simply delicious, with purity of fruit as the trademark.

- Domaine Turenne | Cotes de Provence | Mosaique Wines
A gem in the heart of Provence, Domaine Turenne is located northeast of Bandol in the heart of the Triangle d’Or in the Côtes de Provence, between Cuers and Pierrefeu (Var). In 1990, Philippe and Cécile Benezet took the reins, realising their dream of crafting their own wines, rather than sending the estate fruit to the co-op. Domaine Turenne Côtes de Provence Organic certified REVUE DES VINS DE FRANCE: Domaine Turenne ‘Camille’ rosé “60 best rosés of France” RVF (N° 601) When you’ve watched and celebrated your own family produce a much-loved Rosé, one that was the first wine you imported, it’s hard to consider opening the door to another. And yet, after a long seven year search, we’re delighted to welcome another winemaking family with the same exacting standards - Domaine Turenne. A gem in the heart of Provence, Domaine Turenne is located northeast of Bandol in the heart of the Triangle d’Or in the Côtes de Provence, between Cuers and Pierrefeu (Var). This family-owned estate has been a fixture in the region for over a century, named in homage to the familial connection to the Chocolaterie de Sedan which produces Turenne Chocolate. In 1990, Philippe and Cécile Benezet took the reins, realising their dream of crafting their own wines, rather than sending the estate fruit to the co-op. Their dedication paid off in 1994 when the estate's cellars were established, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. The now 20 hectares of vineyards at Domaine de Turenne are planted to classic regional varieties including Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Rolle, and Petite Clairette, with an average age of 40 years, with some vines dating back over a century. They are a testament to the marriage of tradition and innovation, and proudly bear organic certification (Ecocert), with a growing commitment to biodynamic practices. The secret to Turenne's exceptional wines lies in the unique terroir of the vineyards. The alluvial cone's stony clay-limestone soils, and well-drained sandy subsoil with small stones known as "Gavroches" bring a distinct minerality and impeccable drainage to the vines. The result is wines that carry the unmistakable signature of their origin. Cécile and Philippe Benezet approach their work with thoughtful care in the vineyard and cellar, aiming to produce wines that are sincere, respectful of their terroir, and as natural as possible. For them, winemaking is an alchemy of choices, craftsmanship, and principles, creating healthy and balanced wines that capture the essence of their land. When vintage rolls around, winemaking is a harmonious blend of traditional practices and modern techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested in the morning to preserve their freshness and to exercise better control over the initial stages of vinification. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, with techniques adapted to the requirements of each vintage. This approach results in well-balanced wines, free from excessive acidity or sugar levels. Domaine de Turenne is more than a winery; it's a philosophy that seeks to balance tradition and innovation while respecting the essence of Provence - honouring Rosé with a more vinous style, and celebrating the often forgotten white and red wines of the region alongside it. The wines are an invitation to share in the dedication and passion of the Benezet family, and every bottle reflects the hours spent in the vineyard and cellar. They are wines that are honest and elegant, without pretension or artifice. They are wines for sharing, wines for celebrating and to be celebrated. http://domaineturenne.com/ Shop Wines Quick View 2022 Domaine Turenne Cotes de Provence 'Antoine' white Price $47.00 GST Included Quick View 2024 Domaine Turenne Cotes de Provence 'Camille' rosé Out of stock Quick View 2021 Domaine Turenne Vin de France 'Histoire d'Haut' light red Price $42.00 GST Included Quick View 2022 Domaine Turenne Cotes de Provence 'Bastien' red Price $47.00 GST Included
- Domaine Marius Bielle | Mosaique Wines
Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. DOMAINE MARIUS BIELLE Lalande-de-Pomerol, Bordeaux Organic The face of Bordeaux is changing. For a region so steeped in wine history, the pace is perhaps slower than other regions, however the Bordeaux our parents knew is quietly beginning to share the spotlight with a group of energised and talented new blood, including Damien Bielle of Domaine Marius Bielle. We met Damien around a table of laughter, pizzas and of course wine. This unique character was introduced to us by Olivier from Chateau Gombaude-Guillot, both young rising stars of Bordeaux who became fast friends. A passion for wine was an obvious shared connection, which has evolved into sharing a warehouse, however they also discovered a joint love of MMA fighting. Word is they’ve even fashioned a simple yet effective gym and a fighting ring in the warehouse! Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. There are no blends, the wines are 100% Merlot, a ‘one terroir, one cepage’ approach championed by Burgundy. It is this approach that allows Damien to focus on making wines that highlight the nuances of this grape. Graduating as an agronomist engineer, he went onto oenology school in Bordeaux and then worked for some of the most prestigious producers in the world - Chateau Petrus (Pomerol) and Chateau Cheval Blanc (Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe), before finally deciding to return to the family estate to create his own expression in 2020. The process starts on the famous Pomerol soils of sand and gravel, with 13 hectares of organically farmed vineyard (certified 2021). Weaved in between the oceans of surrounding vines, you’ll find the Domaine Marius Bielle ecosystem - breaking the monotony with trees, grass and flowers growing in the vineyard, freeing space to create orchards, vegetable gardens and allowing a few animals in the vines. When vintage rolls around, the grapes are handpicked and sorted, before maceration by infusion, and a slow natural fermentation with vinification occuring in stainless steel tanks. Like a painter in his workshop, it’s a moment of focus and presence - creating a sketch of the vintage. The ‘slow but steady’ ethos continues through to aging, using concrete tanks and amphoras to gently and softly raise his Merlot. Damien grew up in contact with les “vins d’avant”, an old school style of wine in the best of ways, those wines that took the time of aging in the cellar and then in bottles before being released. This has without doubt influenced his winemaking, insisting the wines reveal themselves in time, finding their complexity along the way and without the use of sulphur, filtering or fining. We are excited to be bringing these vibrant and contemporary wines to Australia. It’s Damien’s wish that these Bordeaux wines that are opened at tables filled with laughter and good friends, enjoyed with some quality meat on the barbecue, not to be intimidating and tasted in suits and silence. He wants his wines to bring conversation. Having tasted his line up and a range of spectacular back vintages, we’re sure they will.

- Domaine de l'Alliance | Sauternes | Mosaique Wines
Domaine de l’Alliance is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The cooler terroir of Barsac ensures a freshness and energy that set these wines apart, making them a favorite among France’s finest Michelin-starred restaurants and the press. La Revue des Vins de France hails Daniel as “a rising figure in the Sauternes vineyards,” praising his wines for their “balance, energy, and quality on par with many classified growth Châteaux.” DOMAINE DE L'ALLIANCE Sauternes Organic certified The journey from Atlantic fisherman to deeply respected Sauternes producer is not a common one, however for one half of Domaine de l’Alliance, it was one fueled by love (we know, so French). Nestled in the prestigious Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, Domaine de l’Alliance is the passion project of Valérie and Daniel Alibrand. Their journey into winemaking began long before they established the estate, first meeting while studying at Château La Tour Blanche, a Premier Grand Cru Classé de Sauternes 1855 and renowned School of Viticulture and Oenology. Unlike the grand châteaux that dominate the Sauternes region, the Alibrands have charted their own path, crafting extraordinary wines with precision, dedication, and a deep respect for nature. The pair took over vineyards from Valerie’s family in their hometown in 2005, bringing their shared expertise and passion to every bottle. From the outset, Domaine de l’Alliance has been committed to organic farming, solidifying this with organic certification in 2015. Their holistic approach extends beyond the vineyard, with minimal intervention in the cellar and a deep respect for the land they cultivate. To promote biodiversity and soil health, the Alibrands employ Solognot sheep, which naturally graze between the vines, managing cover crops without the need for machinery or herbicides. Their seven-hectare vineyard, situated in Fargues between the esteemed Château Rieussec and Château de Fargues, benefits from Fargues’s unique and cooler microclimate. The confluence of the Garonne river and Ruisseau de Fragues stream creates the perfect conditions for noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), essential for producing the region’s world-renowned sweet wines. With old vines of 80% Sémillon, 18% Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris, and 2% Muscadelle, planted on gravels, sand, clay and limestone, their low yields (10-13 hl/ha, comparable to Yquem) result in wines of remarkable intensity and complexity. Domaine de l’Alliance is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Harvesting is done entirely by hand in up to seven vineyard passes to select only the finest botrytised grapes. In the winery, they prefer to be as hands off as possible, letting the grapes and the terroir reveal themselves in the final wine. Grapes undergo rigorous sorting and slow pneumatic pressing (4-5 hours), followed by fermentation with natural yeasts in carefully chosen barrels. The cooler terroir of Barsac ensures a freshness and energy that set these wines apart, making them a favorite among France’s finest Michelin-starred restaurants, including Anne-Sophie Pic, Troisgros, Gagnaire, and Bras. La Revue des Vins de France hails Daniel as “a rising figure in the Sauternes vineyards,” praising his wines for their “balance, energy, and quality on par with many classified growth Châteaux.” The wines have also captured the attention of Decanter and Vinous along the way. This recognition underscores the Alibrands’ ability to push beyond tradition, crafting exceptional wines that capture the essence of Sauternes’s terroir. While best known for their beautifully balanced Sauternes, the Alibrands have also garnered acclaim for their Bordeaux Blanc (Which may become Sauternes Sec?), showcasing the untapped potential of the region. At Mosaique Wines, we believe in championing vignerons who create wines with soul, and from our very first conversation with Daniel, we knew Domaine de l’Alliance belonged in our portfolio. We invite you to discover these exceptional wines and experience the magic of Barsac in every sip.

Domaine ROHRER Alsace Organic and Biodynamic certified Alsace is a region that is still largely misunderstood by wine lovers and professionals alike.

Protected on the West by the Vosges mountains, the vineyards run along 170 km, known as the famous ‘Route des Vins d’Alsace’. This region borders with Germany, and grows many of the same grape varietals although the Alsatian expressions are generally drier. Domaine André Rohrer is based in Mittelbergheim, in the northern part of Alsace region and is run by young and talented Ludovic Rohrer.

The vineyards are spread across three villages: Eichoffen, Mittelbergheim and Barr. Each village produces different varietals and expressions of terroir. Eichoffen produces Riesling and Gewurztraminer on silty sand over marl, Mittelbergheim south of the village with the lieu dit ‘Stein’ is known for powerful Riesling on grey marls and limestone, Mittelbergheim west of the village with the lieu dit ‘Le Forst’ produces Pinot Noir on sandstone and Mittelbergheim east of the village with the lieu dit ‘l’Oberscheuer’ brings Pinot Gris on deep soils made of marls and sandstone. The Rohrer family became early adopters of sustainable and organic farming methods. In the 1960s Ludovic’s grandfather had already stopped the use of herbicide and encouraged herbs to grow between the vines. In the 1980s they ceased the use of all chemical pesticides and finally in 2001, André started the conversion of the Domaine towards organic certification. Today they are certified both organic and biodynamic. This conversion in the vineyard over the past decades has allowed them to improve the purity of their wines, with the full expression of their terroirs. Perfect expertise of vinification and natural winemaking, these wines are as pure as they come. Organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyard along with hand harvesting is followed in the cellar by traditional ageing in old Alsacian oak foudres. Most of the wines have no filtration and no sulphur added, only the wines with residual sugar are lightly filtered and lightly sulphured so they remain stable. It is also common that the family will hold wines longer in the cellar when a vintage or a cuvee needs it, for example the 2019 will only be released for 2021 Spring. With such care comes outstanding wines of purity, texture, honesty, generosity and length. These are wine to be sought out and savoured. ‘Esch Hab Di Garn’ Meaning ‘I love you’ in Alsacian. this is a multi-vintages blend of Gewurztraminer, Auxerrois, Sylvaner (with skin contact) and a little Riesling and Muscat. ‘Riesling’ Dry, powerful and driven with an incredible fleshy texture and length. ‘Gewurztraminer’ Ginger meets pineapple and the smokiness and drive from the terroir make it incredible example from the region. ‘Hors Piste’ Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer is a superb Alsacian skin contact wine with incredible texture and flavours definition. ‘Nouvelle Lune’ A lively, fresh and bright Pinot Noir aged in old barrel offering a vibrant energy and an array of flavours.

- Domaine Louis Chenu et filles | Savigny-Les-Beaune | Mosaique Wines
Now in its fifth generation, sisters Juliette and Caroline are a dynamic duo firmly at the helm of the 9.5ha of vines in Savigny-Les-Beaune, composed mostly of 40 to 60 years old vines. They are proudly continuing the family commitment to producing quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, considered as some of the best ‘under the radar’ wines from the Côte de Beaune. DOMAINE LOUIS CHENU & FILLES Savigny Les Beaune, Burgundy Organic When first buying parcels of vines in Savigny-les-Beaune, Burgundy in 1914, Louis Chenu began a family winemaking dynasty. Now in its fifth generation, sisters Juliette and Caroline are a dynamic duo firmly at the helm of the 9.5ha of vines, composed mostly of 40 to 60 years old vines. They are proudly continuing the family commitment to producing quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, considered as some of the best ‘under the radar’ wines from the Côte de Beaune. From humble beginnings largely selling grapes to negociants, the Domaine and indeed the terroir of Savigny-les-Beaune are now making a splash. It all starts with respect for the organic certified vineyards, working the vines as the season demands - never too much, never too little. When the time comes, grape sorting occurs on the vines, before they are hand harvested and bought into the winery. From here, the winemaking process doesn’t deviate too much from tradition, starting with de-stemming and crushing of the grapes and cold-macerated for a few days, which are then trodden down on a daily basis. The wines then go through a natural fermentation with native yeasts, and are aged in the cellar for over 18 months. The process for the white wines includes immediate pressing, racking and then stored in barrels for fermentation. Unlike the red wines, the white wines are then filtered before bottling (which occurs a year later). The result of this care in the vineyard and observance of tradition in the winery results in wines truly reflecting their place - the Premier Crus of Savigny-les-Beaune. These include “Aux Clous”, “Les Hauts-Jarrons”, “Les Lavières” or “Les Talmettes” wines, along with a rare white Savigny-les-Beaune Village wine. Chenu’s wines are pretty and elegant, they are truly great value Burgundy!

- Domaine Ludovic Bonnardot | Côte de Beaune | Mosaique Wines
Today, Domaine Bonnardot is farmed organically, Ludovic believes this approach is key to revealing the best nuances of each site across 18 appellations and 50 plots, along with the practice of natural vinification with no addition of sulfur or oenological products during vinification and low to no addition at bottling. Their vineyards are located in Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Santenay, Maranges, Pommard, Chassagne Montrachet and Puligny Montrachet. DOMAINE LUDOVIC BONNARDOT Côte de Beaune, Burgundy Organic There are not too many teenagers who would choose to spend their days in the vineyard, let alone experimenting on their grandfather’s grapes with natural winemaking. But then again, Ludovic Bonnardot was not your average teenager. Burgundian born and bred, Ludovic now guides the winemaking at the family estate - Domaine Bonnardot, taking over from his parents in 2006. The estate covers 15-hectares with two operations: one centered in Santenay, the wine-growing focuses on Côte de Beaune and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellations, while blackcurrants (cassis), asparagus and cereals are grown in Bonnencontre near the family home, just south of Dijon. The polyculture approach is a reflection of the long heritage of winemaking in the family, which dates back to 1470. Throughout the centuries, it was (and arguably still is) essential to have year-round agricultural output to spread the risk of crop failure and ensure a source of income for the family. Ludovic’s interest in natural winemaking at an early age was influenced by his mother Elisabeth, the Domaine’s winemaker while he was growing up. Elisabth graduated her enology studies in Beaune, studying alongside and eventually interning with Jules Chauvet - who is considered to be the father of natural winemaking. As a result, Elisabeth’s approach to winemaking was very much shaped by Chauvet, and she began to practice more natural approaches to her winemaking with her Burgundies. Today, Domaine Bonnardot is farmed organically, with the conversion starting when Ludovic returned to the family lands after graduating his winemaking education. Ludovic believes this approach is key to revealing the best nuances of each site across 18 appellations and 50 plots, along with the practice of natural vinification with no addition of sulfur or oenological products during vinification and low to no addition at bottling. The vineyards include Hautes Côtes de Beaune ‘En Chaignot’ and ‘Sur Evelle’, Bourgogne Côte d’Or ‘Clos Botaveaux’ Monopole, Bourgogne Aligoté, Santenay ’Saint Jean’, Santenay 1er cru ‘Clos Rousseau’, Maranges ‘Sur le Bois’, Pommard, Chassagne Montrachet and Puligny Montrachet 1er ‘La Garenne’, with vineyards average age of 45 years old. Before the beginning of Spring, natural fertiliser made from vegetal or animal matter is added to the soils to bring life. Then all the vines are plowed to encourage the decomposition of the organic matter and aeration of the earth. From here until vintage, Ludovic and his brother Emilien tend to the vines with debudding, relevage and trimming. Once vintage arrives, plots are harvested by hand at their best maturity and bought into the winery for hand sorting. Vinification of the white grapes includes slowly pressing the whole bunches, with the must then put into oak barrels for a 12-18 month fermentation. The fermentations are natural, with no addition of sulfur or addition of oenological product. After natural settling in the barrel and light filtration, the whites are ready for bottling. The red wines range between 30% and 100% whole bunch inclusion, with the berries macerated in oak tanks between 20 and 180 days. Again there is no addition of sulfur or product, and fermentation occurs with indigenous yeast. After the pressurage the wines are put into oak barrels for up to 12 - 18 months aging. The reds are not fined or filtered before bottling, with low or no addition of sulfur. This sometimes generates a light deposit however doesn’t alter the quality of the wine. Domaine Bonnardot wines are fresh, vibrant and pure, reflecting the considered approach to farming and vinification to ensure transparency of place. We love how they express each site with a very minimal extraction or oak influence. Most of all we appreciate the rare value for money these wines offer - something we don’t see much of in Burgundy these days. We’ll drink to that!
