Chateau des Rontets was founded in the 1700s in Pouilly Fuissé, Burgundy. It’s safe to say the 7.5 hectares of vines were not thriving when Claire and Fabio took the reins of the estate in 1995. From day one, the pair set upon farming organically to repair the health and biodiversity of the vines, and in 2005 attained their Ecocert organic certification. Today thanks to their hard work and patience they produce some of the most vibrant and pure natural wines in the region. CHATEAU DES RONTETS Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy Organic Home is where the vines are, as it turned out, for Claire Gazeau. After pursuing a life outside of wine, working in architecture in Milan and meeting her now husband doing so, the vines of Gazeau’s family vineyard in Pouilly-Fuissés eventually called her home. Thirty years later, Chateau des Rontets is producing its best wines yet. The estate was founded in the 1700s, taken over by Claire’s great-great-grandfather, François Varambon in the mid 1800s. The estate holds many treasured family memories, and upon moving there in 1995 Claire and her husband Fabio saw it as a wonderful place to raise a family of their own. It’s safe to say the 7.5 hectares of vines were not thriving when Claire and Fabio took the reins of the estate. From day one, the pair set upon farming organically to repair the health and biodiversity of the vines, and in 2005 attained their Ecocert organic certification. Organic farming, according to Claire and Fabio, is the best way for their vines to express the vocation of their place. Ploughing and the avoidance of chemical weeding allows the root system to absorb the mineral elements of the soil, exploring the unique layers of limestone and granite that come with straddling the Burgundy/Beaujolais divide. Above all, abolishing all synthetic chemical products allows Chateau des Rontets to respect the environment and the natural expressions of the living ecosystem, but also to preserve the health of their family, workers, neighbours and that of those who drink their wines. The main estate is situated on the top of the hill which closes the valley of Fuissé towards the south. Sitting at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level, the daily temperature range here is key to gradual ripening and the preservation of good acidity even in the warmest and earliest vintages. This is where the grapes producing the Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées Clos Varambon and Les Birbettes are grown. The bedrock is composed of hard limestone from the Jurassic period, with layers of silt and silty clay, and a high presence of stones and silica. These characteristics guarantee very good drainage and the development of the roots, which can burrow down between the stones, following their cracks. There are 5.5 hectares of vines within the Clos, planted on a light slope increasing gradually as it approaches the woods separating them from the village of Fuissé. Just 500m south of the Clos sits the revered Pierrefolle (or crazy stone) vineyard, producing the Pouilly-Fuissé cuvée of the same name. Although situated so closely, and at the same altitude, wines from Pierrefolle are completely different from their brethren. Being further south, the bedrock here is granitic, the soil is much deeper and composed only of quite thick silts. Its eastern exposure provides shelter from the north wind and tends to be slightly warmer, leading to a more rapid ripening process and less acid in the grapes. When it comes to vintage, all grapes are hand harvested, then, in the winery, Claire and Fabio continue to let their wines take a relatively uninterrupted course. Alcoholic fermentations are made only with natural yeasts, without any addition of sugar or acid and without enzymes, and the malolactic fermentations are never inhibited or artificially stopped. This practice can lead to long fermentations, often lasting several months, increasing the aromatic complexity of the wines and amplifying their expression of place. One part of the winemaking journey that is especially important at Chateau des Rontets is the extended lees ageing. Lees have a fundamental role in the specificity and texture of these wines, as the team chooses to let the wines sit on lees, without stirring, to take maximum advantage of the autolysis while limiting the tendency of reduction and ensuring the extraction of glycerol. Lastly, there is no fining or filtering of the wines. Instead, to help the wines settle before bottling, ageing in barrels takes place across two winters - a rare, yet effective approach.

Third-generation winemaker Bernard Landron initially began his career alongside with his brother Jo in the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine area. In 2002 Bernard moved to Ancenis in the village of St Géréon, about 35 min drive from Nantes, and was joined by his eldest son Benoît in 2008. DOMAINE LANDRON CHARTIER Muscadet Organic certified What’s the first grape varietal that comes to mind when we say Loire Valley? We bet its Sauvignon Blanc – which is delicious. However, there’s more to discover in this region. Domaine Landron Chartier is a wonderful example of a small producer continuing to work with lesser known grapes which equally represent the terroir of the Loire. Third-generation winemaker Bernard Landron initially began his career alongside with his brother Jo in the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine area. In 2002 Bernard moved to Ancenis in the village of St Géréon, about 35 min drive from Nantes, and was joined by his eldest son Benoît in 2008. Benoît had returned to the family vineyard after completing his degree in viticulture and oenology, facilitating a conversation to organic practices in 2009. The family now farm around 25 hectares, with a patchwork of vineyards mostly situated around the towns of Ligne and Udon planted with a mix of Melon de Bourgogne, Folle Blanche, Pinot Gris, Gamay and Cabernet Franc. The decomposed volcanic material in the soils, along with a moderate climate and ocean winds to reduce humidity, results in a hallmark freshness to the wines. To ensure both the terroir and fruit purity are front and centre, extreme care during the winemaking process is followed – from the vineyard through to the cellar. Vines nurtured with organic farming practices are hand harvested and vinified separately based on terroir with a natural yeast fermentation. There’s minimal intervention in the cellar, with light to no filtration and low to no sulphur added depending the cuvees. The result is spectacularly pure and vibrant Muscadet, both at an entry level and at a precise, complex cru level. Expect textural, generous notes of fresh quince and white peach pinned together by a terroir driven acidity that will leave you begging for another glass. www.landronchartier.fr Shop wines Quick View 2020 Domaine Landron Chartier, AOC Muscadet Cru ‘Le Bois Mouchet’ Price $104.00 GST Included Quick View 2022 Domaine Landron Chartier, ‘Pinot Gris Aussi’ Maceration Out of stock Quick View 2019 Domaine Landron Chartier, AOC Muscadet Cru ‘Le Bois Mouchet’ Price $85.00 GST Included Quick View 2019 Domaine Landron Chartier, AOC Muscadet Cru ‘Le Ponceau’ Price $85.00 GST Included

Spread across 6.9 hectares, the vines of Chateau Gombaude Guillot are planted to 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% old vine Malbec, which is more than 80 years of age. The wines are known for their elegance, finesse, and balance. chateau Gombaude-Guillot Pomerol, Bordeaux Organic certified JANE ANSON: "There is a brilliant, brilliant estate that I love called Gombaude Guillot. They are a very small producer, organic, biodynamic - great to look out for and very good value." True to the foundational spirit of Bordeaux, the estate dating back from 1860 was secured via marriage. The Bélevier family were well established as vignerons in Pomerol and Néac when this property was passed down to Marie Bélevier as a dowry in 1868. Later, in 1922, the actual chateau would be added to the property, retiring itself as the local post-church cafe for a grander life. Fast-forward to 2010, and you’ll find 6th generation Olivier Techer at the helm of this certified organic estate. Perhaps it was this extensive knowledge of healthy soil that also fostered a passion for sustainability that has extended to a pursuit of biodynamic certification Chateau Gombaude-Guillot are recognised as one of the first in area to spearhead an organic approach in the vineyard, with the Château Gombaude-Guillot 2000 vintage the first organic certified Pomerol wine, along with their 1.15 ha Clos Plince. The desire to lessen the environmental impact of the chateau extends beyond the vineyard, sourcing local oak for use in the winery. Planted across 7 hectares, the vines of Chateau Gombaude-Guillot are located in the unique plateau of Pomerol; with 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% old vine Malbec, which is more than 80 years of age. Surrounded by decent neighbours (Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Lafleur, Chateau Clinet and Chateau Trotanoy) the vineyards are comprised of glacial gravel deposits and clay, and vineyard work is focused around soil health, low yields, and maximising ripeness. To encourage microbiological activity between vineyard rows, Olivier has planted a range of cover crops, and avoids using chemical or synthetic herbicides or fungicides. The importance of the vineyard’s ecosystem is the priority here. When the time comes to harvest, grapes are hand-picked, then sorted, de-stemmed and lightly crushed. The wine then undergoes natural fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel tanks for 3-4 weeks, with regular pumpovers occuring at the beginning of fermentation (2-4 times a day). Once ferments are complete, depending on the cuvee the wines are aged in a mix of stainless steel tanks, old oak barrels or amphora before bottling (unfiltered). The resulting wines of Château Gombaude-Guillot are known for their elegance, finesse, and balance. They are recognised as showcasing the unique terroir of Pomerol and we are thrilled to share their legacy in Australia.

After selling to larger Cognac brands for years, the family bravely chose to create their own house style, one that focused on putting nature and mankind back at the heart of the Cognac making process. The result has been a resounding success, selling to scores of Michelin star restaurants and even the prestigious Elysée Palace. BOURGOIN COGNAC Cognac Organic conversion Cognac Bourgoin is a family estate located in the village of Saint Saturnin, in Charente. It has existed since 1933, when Leon Marcel Bourgoin traveled to the area for vintage and fell in love with his boss’s daughter. He then decided to put down roots in the area, literally, planting vines of Ugni Blanc that had arrived in France via Italy (there called Trebbiano) after phylloxera had decimated much of the local rootstock. Fast forward a few generations to the present and you’ll find Frederic, Leon Marcel’s grandson, humbly and proudly continuing the family’s Cognac production. This generation, however, has decided to shake things up. After selling to larger Cognac brands for years, the family bravely chose to create their own house style, one that focused on putting nature and mankind back at the heart of the Cognac making process. The result has been a resounding success, selling to scores of Michelin star restaurants and even the prestigious Elysée Palace. The Bourgoin Cognac journey is one which starts and finishes on the clay, limestone and alluvial soils of the estate. The grapes are grown organically, harvested, vinified with indigenous yeasts, distilled and bottled entirely by hand, all on site, allowing the family to closely monitor the tiny 20,000 bottles they make per year. Production is done entirely without the use of sulphur, colouring or added sugar at any stage. Furthermore, these Cognacs are produced without blending or filtration. The precision of this approach is purely expressed in the single vintage and terroir cuvees, with the additional option of cask cuvees. We are so excited to be able to bring a small amount of this incredible Cognac to Australia, sharing the heart of Cognac with these vibrant, artisanal expressions.
