Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

400+ Years of Passion

Great wines are not born just anywhere, by accident. A unique set of climatic and geological conditions combine to form a rare equilibrium.

This is undoubtedly the case at Yquem, which epitomises all that is best about the singular wine growing environment in Sauternes. CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM's topsoil is warm and dry, accumulating heat thanks to smooth flat pebbles and coarse gravel. The clay subsoil contains good water reserves and there are numerous springs on the estate. Drainage pipes were installed some time ago to prevent waterlogging (100 km of drains since the 19th century).

Yquem's large size made it possible to plant 113 hectares of vines on a very representative sampling of the rich tapestry of the Sauternes region's soil types. This extraordinary variety of soils is a key factor in the quality and complexity of CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM.

Average Annual Production = 65,000 to 100,000 bottles a year.

Alsace, France

JOSMEYER is a notable wine producer in the French region of Alsace. It was established in 1963 by Hubert Meyer, but the Meyer family's négociant business dates back to 1854. The domaine is best known for its grand cru wines made from Riesling from the Brand and Hengst vineyards and for its artist series wines.

Towards the end of the nineties, the vineyards were turned over to fully organic and bio-dynamic culture.

In 2004 we received the AB (agriculture biologic) certification. This alternative route, more demanding and expensive than conventional viticulture, allows man to work in harmony with the sky, the earth and the vines.

This close relationship between these four elements produces superb grapes which, in their turn, give birth to deep, balanced wines with a unique personality.

Chablis, Burgundy, France

DOMAINE LAROCHE is involved in a large-scale approach of sustainability that implies an environment-friendly viticulture.

It all relies on taking the relationship between vine, soil, climate and environment into account. We therefore observe if plants are well-balanced, we can reduce treatments significantly, as they can naturally fight against pests and diseases.

Its headquarters, the Obédiencerie of Chablis, reveals a heritage dating back from the Middle Ages when the Canons of Saint Martin of Tours were making wine. Saint Martin’s relics were hidden in the Obédiencerie for a decade.

This exceptional testimony is very much alive: DOMAINE LAROCHE still elaborates and ages its Premiers and Grands Crus in these historical cellars. Its wines are a testimony of 1,000 years of history!

Burgundy, France

Founded in 1988 by Henry Roch. Henry is the son of Pauline Roch – older sister to Lalou Bize-Leroy – and Henry is also co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

Since 1998 Mr Roch had acquired vineyards in some of Burgundy’s most famous villages with Prieure Roch having an enviable holding of 14 hectares which include the notable Grand Crus of Clos de Beze & Clos Vougeot.

PRIEURÉ ROCH also farm several monopoles including the Clos de Corvées in Nuits St Georges which has a history dating back to the middle ages & Clos Goillote in Vosne Romanée which is a rare .55-hectare plot fifty metres from La Tache.

The Domaine has been farming with organic viticulture since it’s inception and produces extremely low yields in all it’s plots to enhance the intensity and quality of the cuvees produced. In the winery, they employ natural yeasts for all wines & 100% whole bunch fermentation for all red wines, except for the rare Pinoterie Pure which is only released in certain years. There is no fining or filtering & sulphur is only used in the smallest of homeopathic doses at bottling.

Côte des Blancs, France

SALON is a unique champagne. Defined by its singularity since the very beginning, this exceptional wine is the champagne of a single terroir: the Côte des Blancs; a single cru: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape variety: Chardonnay; a single year: that of a great vintage; and of one man: Eugène-Aimé Salon.

Champagne SALON comes from a single hectare plot called « the SALON garden » and nineteen other small plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger selected by Eugène-Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century. The wines are aged in our cellars for an average of ten years, after which they finally start to reveal their complexity and finesse.

The fact that Salon still conserves bottles in its cellars from nearly every vintage is testament to its legacy and honours it. Today, Champagne SALON is run alongside Champagne DELAMOTTE by Didier Depond, President, and Michel Fauconnet, Cellar Master and Production Manager of the Laurent-Perrier group.

Just 37 vintages were produced in the 20th century, a unique phenomenon in the world of wine.

Bernkastel-Wehlen, Mosel, Germany

Prüm wines have a reputation for being long-lived because if their slow development. Dr. Prüm suggests even his Kabinett can be cellared for up to 5 years. Prüm wines possess full-flavored pure fruit and piquant spiciness that express the true characteristics of Mosel wines.

"Few estates in the world can claim to have maintained the highest quality standards uninterrupted for half a century and more. JOH JUS PRÜM, the most famous of the many Mosel wine estates bearing the Prüm name, is one estate that can. Since the early 1920’s its wines have been among Germany’s best, Rieslings with the Mosel’s vivacious aroma and racy elegance in its highest form.”
