History :  The name Cos (with the ‘S’ pronounced) refers to a “hill of pebbles” in Gascon dialect and the name Cos d’Estournel was given in 1810 by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel – he rebuilt the cellars in sandstone, reflecting his many travels in the Orient and beyond, which brought him the nickname of the Maharajah of St Estèphe , the cellars sprouted tall pagodas which would be more at home on a Chinese temple than here in the Médoc. The doorway, decorated with vines, grapes, flowers and leaves, was...

Because of its unique terroir the Burgundy region excels in both white and red wines. The soils of Burgundy are extremely varied, in their richness, depth, and mineral content. The soils vary not only from one end of the region to the other, but also within a single area — for example, from the top of a hill to the bottom, or from one vineyard plot to the next.

It is a black wine with a great purple hue. Intense, young purple fruits and flowers combine with meat, earth and fresh bitumen to yield an intense, extremely inviting aroma. The palate starts with a huge Wam! of flavour. Thick, ripe mulberries, blackberries and blueberries progress into a rich, gutsy, liquorish and bitumen palate, followed by masses of powerful, youthful, gritty fruit tannins, layered with tonnes of flowery, cranberry and dark fruit flavours, and a youhful acidity. This is a wine...

An important aspect of bio-dynamic grape growing is the social/ community one. It is more labour intensive: there is a real benefit to working manually in the vineyard. Using a horse to plough might seem a bit excessive but hands always beat machines at pruning and picking. Bio-dynamic growing methods help keep rural communities alive and are a more sustainable form of growing.

This is one of Kollmann-Lex's estate wines, and it offers great value and excellent quality. It has a straw yellow/gold colour, with limpid appearance. On the nose are aromas of stone fruits, principally apricots. Crisp, dry, & refreshing on the palate, there is good concentration of fruit with notes of underripe orchard fruit, minerals, and stone fruit on the finish. Quite good length. Works well drunk chilled with white meats, fish, and spicy sausages, or just on it's own.

There were some true sleepers made in this vintage. Montrose, Leoville Las Cases and Latour in particular showed firm tannins and will all require long term ageing. 2010 was also a year of exceptional ripeness and for many, alcohol levels were at a record high. Cos d'Estournel recorded 14.5%, La Mission Haut Brion 15.1% and Latour 14.4% alcohol. But there was also an abundance of ripe and dense fruit found in many wines we tasted. Fruit profile was not as flashy as in 2009 but in the...

Area History and Terrior:   Looking full onto the river from the earliest days, with an important port activity, traces of which go back to ancient times (shipment of bronze as long ago as 2000 B.C.), Pauillac’s life has always been intimately linked to the history of wine. Although port activities were at the root of its prosperity, Pauillac had to wait until the eighteenth century when Bordeaux ceased to hold its privileged position to become a wine port. The town then became the natural outlet...

The system relies on the fact that reflectivity at different wavelengths can give information both about the vines’ foliage and the soil in which they are growing. The quantity of foliage is linked to the quality of the grapes because it is an indirect measure of the amounts of sugars and tannins contained in them. There is an ideal time to harvest each bunch, but not all bunches are ready at the same time. The satellite data cuts the vineyards into two-metre-square “pixels”, corresponding to about...

Massimo Pastora Barbero is the present owner of this vibrant innovative cantina situated in the heart of Barbera d’Asti in the ‘Valle del Nizza’ area, acknowledged by experts to be the indisputable heart of the Barbera d’Asti production. The La Ghersa vineyard comprises 15 hectares of Monferrato, which with heavy pruning produce a limited yield of 22-23 litres per hectare – coupled with a judicious selection of oak, result in a wine of great character and diversity.

One very important thing to keep in mind when sampling any syrah-based wine is that the wine requires more “breathing” time than most other varietals for the aromas to open up and the palate to soften. Decanting is highly recommended, since very little is accomplished simply by opening the bottle and letting it sit on the table a while before serving. In lieu of decanting, pour a glassful and allow the glass to sit a bit before sipping.

The vines, planted at a standard density of 6000 vines/ha, see controlled yields, as evidenced by a figure of 38 hl/ha for the 2005 vintage, achieved through a rolling process of pruning and bud-thinning, with leaf-thinning to improve quality of ripening. The harvest is manual, with the fruit sorted by an arrangement of four sorting tables, and destemmed prior to a cold maceration and fermentation which is carried out according to plot of origin. The malolactic tends to begin in vat, prior to running...

The history of the winery started in 1962, when Valentino Paladin achieved the dream he had had in his heart for a long time: to commit himself to vine cultivation and to wine production, following his family’s tradition started by his grandfather. In 1977 he purchased the first fields in Annone Veneto – the estate was called “Bosco del Merlo” – the name present on the topographical maps in memory of the oak woods that anciently covered the area. The old vineyards were gradually substituted by plants...

The juice is clarified at 20 NTU and left to ferment with French yeasts at 54°–55°F (12°–13°C) for approximately 30 to 40 days. The fine lees were stirred in 40% of the must in stainless steel tanks during the month following fermentation. 1% of the blend consists of fine lees conserved in new French barrels for three months with daily stirring for the first month and once a week for the remaining two months.

Founded in 1818 the Billecart family has lived in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ since the mid-sixteenth century. The House was established when Nicolas-François Billecart married Elisabeth Salmon. The Grande Marque quickly established an international reputation with a US subsidiary set up in the early 1840’s. The US agency, however, handled the business badly and cost the House a small fortune, which set the company back for many years. Russia became the company’s major export market but this trade, too, collapsed...

The name Santa Carolina was born from the great love its founder, Luis Pereyra Cotapos had for his wife, Carolina Iñiguez Vicuña.  Luis Pereyra Cotapos invited to Chile a group of three French professionals, lead by the prestigious enologist Germain Bachelet, who sourced a selection of the noblest grapevines of the Bordeaux region in France. Together with their families, they established themselves in Chile and began the plantation and production at the new winery. In this way, grapevines of Cabernet...

Most people have a natural preference for sweetness and dislike bitterness. The taste for sharp, tart flavours is acquired, which is why the majority of drinkers start off liking sweet, white wines then develop a taste for drier ones, and only eventually come to enjoy full-bodied reds. Your own preferences are also likely to evolve over the years in the same way as you might graduate from drinking your coffee with milk and two sugars to preferring a strong blast of double espresso. When you first...

“Me and my brother, Baptiste, are the third generation of our family working at Domaine de Cristia. We started working here back in 1999, taking over from my father. The soils were in excellent condition thanks to Dad’s biodynamic conception of agriculture. But trying to change old mentalities was a challenge! After our first few vintages, we really found our own style in 2003. That vintage produced some wonderful wine, and The Wine Advocate called us the ‘New Superstars from Chateaueuf-du-Pape’...

The Area: Côtes de Gascogne is a wine-growing district in Gascony producing principally white wine. It is mainly located in the ‘Departement Gers’ in the French region Midi-Pyrénées, and it belongs to the wine region South West France. The designation Côtes the Gascogne is used for a Vin de Pays (“country wine”) produced in the Armagnac area. The decree of the 13th of September 1968 created the difference between a Vin de Pays and simpler table wine, the so-called Vin de table. The designation Côtes...
