🍾 W**e of the week : Simonnet-Febvre “Cuvée S” Blanc de Blanc 2019 – Crémant de Bourgogne | 17/20, 94/100

🇫🇷 Maison Simonnet-Febvre est une des plus anciennes maisons de Chablis, en Bourgogne. Ce domaine emblématique produit des vins de Chablis précis et droits, en reflétant dans chaque cuvée les multiples facettes et la richesse du terroir chablisien. En allant du Petit Chablis au Grand Cru, Saint-Brice et Grand Auxerrois, la gamme de vins de Simonnet-Febvre exprime l'identité de chaque parcelle dans ses cuvées. C’est aussi la seule maison chablisienne qui produit du Crémant de Bourgogne. Le Chardonnay et le Pinot Noir sont vendangés à la main, les rendements sont faibles, les extractions de jus sont limitées et le temps d'élevage sur lies est prolongé par rapport au minimum exigé par le cahier des charges… tout est conçu pour produire des vins effervescents de qualité, fruités et vifs, ou complexes et gastronomiques.

🇬🇧 Simonnet-Febvre is one of the oldest houses in Chablis, Burgundy. This iconic estate produces precise, focused Chablis w**es, with each cuvée reflecting the rich diversity and multifaceted nature of the local terroir. Spanning the range from Petit Chablis to Grand Cru, as well as Saint-Brice and Grand Auxerrois, Simonnet-Febvre’s w**es express the unique identity of each vineyard plot. It is also the only Chablis house that produces Crémant de Bourgogne. With hand-harvested Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, low yields, gentle juice extraction, and extended aging on the lees—well beyond the minimum regulatory requirements—every step is designed to create high-quality sparkling w**es that are either fruity and vibrant or complex and gastronomic.

🇮🇹 Alta Langa DOCG pushes the boundaries of Italian sparkling w**e with exceptional standards: 60 months of aging for the Riserva w**es, vineyards at altitudes of up to 800 meters, and a geological study conducted by Alessandro Masnaghetti.

🍷 W**e of the week : Cantina Franzosi “Bruno Franzosi” 2023 – Valtènesi Riviera del Garda Classico | 17.5/20, 95/100

🇫🇷 Une pittoresque province de Brescia, avec ses lacs, collines, vallées et rivières, est aussi un endroit propice pour la viticulture. Les sols morains, des coteaux, une bonne ventilation et l'influence du lac de Garde, qui adoucit le climat, créent des conditions parfaites pour l’épanouissement des cépages rouges autochtones, qui obtiennent une maturation optimale et absorbent le caractère unique du terroir. Cantina Franzosi possède 25ha de vignes dans la région de Valtènesi, situés sur des sols divers : sableux, graveleux, argileux, calcaires ou avec des dépôts morainiques. Le domaine produit une gamme de vins représentative de la richesse de la région : blancs, rosé, rouges, issus des cépages locaux ou d’autres cépages italiens. La cuvée rouge « Bruno Franzosi », consacrée au fondateur du domaine, est un assemblage de cépages autochtones Groppello, Marzemino et Rebo, complété par le Sangiovese Toscane et la Barbera piémontaise, élevé en fûts afin de souligner la complexité et la concentration du raisin.

🇬🇧 The picturesque province of Brescia—with its lakes, hills, valleys, and rivers—is also an ideal region for viticulture. Morainic soils, hillside locations, good airflow, and the moderating influence of Lake Garda create perfect conditions for indigenous red grape varieties to thrive, allowing them to reach optimal ripeness and absorb the unique character of the terroir. Cantina Franzosi owns 25 hectares of vineyards in the Valtènesi area, situated on diverse soil types including sand, gravel, clay, limestone, and morainic deposits. The estate produces a range of w**es that reflect the region's richness—whites, rosés, and reds—crafted from both local and other Italian grape varieties. The "Bruno Franzosi" red cuvée, named after the estate's founder, is a blend of indigenous Groppello, Marzemino, and Rebo grapes, complemented by Sangiovese originating from Tuscany and Barbera originating from Piedmont; it is aged in barrels to highlight the grapes' complexity and concentration.

La Rioja is today one of the great symbols of Spanish w**e… but did you know that its history is also closely linked to Bordeaux? 🇪🇸🍷

In the 19th century, phylloxera devastated French vineyards, and trade between Bordeaux and La Rioja intensified. Bordeaux w**e merchants and producers settled in the region, helping to introduce and spread Bordeaux w**emaking practices.

🍇 This influence helped shape the modern style of Rioja, particularly through barrel ageing and the production of w**es capable of ageing well.

Right on the Austrian border, Alto Adige (Südtirol) climbs up to 1,000 meters above sea level, nestled between the peaks of the Dolomites and alpine freshness. The result? W**es of striking purity and precision. 🍷✨

Want to understand what makes this terroir so fascinating? We are sharing our 10 favorite cuvées to take you on a journey there.

🍷W**e of the week : Ch*****ne M. Marcoult « Blanc de Barbonne» - Ch*****ne | 16+/20, 92-93/100

🇫🇷 Ch*****ne Marcoult se situe au sud de la célèbre Côte des Blancs, dans une région de Sézannais, moins connue mais avec un grand potentiel. On y trouve une richesse et une complexité des sols incroyables, où les vignes de Chardonnay et de Pinot Noir, ainsi que les rares en Ch*****ne Pinot Blanc et Petit Meslier, plantés sur le vignoble du domaine, puisent une trame minérale expressive, de la tension et de la concentration pour leurs fruits. Les galets et le silex dans le sol confèrent de la profondeur et de l’élégance au Pinot Noir, tandis que les sols limoneux et calcaires – de la vivacité, de la minéralité et une vive acidité au Chardonnay. Une couche de craie en sous-sol, ou s’arrêtent les racines de vignes, offre une source d’humidité pour les vignes lors des périodes chaudes. La vinification est la plus naturelle possible, avec des levures indigènes dans des contenants inertes, et une très légère touche boisée est apportée par les chênes de forêt locale, juste à 5 km du domaine. Sa cuvée « Blanc de Barbonne » est 100% Chardonnay, vif et minéral, mais en même temps ample et complexe, qui reflète les multiples facettes et le potentiel de ce terroir.

🇬🇧 Domaine M. Marcoult is located south of the famous Côte des Blancs in the Sézannais region—an area that is lesser-known but holds great potential. The estate boasts incredibly rich and complex soils; here, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines—along with the rare Ch*****ne varieties Pinot Blanc and Petit Meslier—draw an expressive mineral backbone, tension, and fruit concentration from the terroir. Pebbles and flint in the soil lend depth and elegance to the Pinot Noir, while the silty, limestone soils impart liveliness, minerality, and vibrant acidity to the Chardonnay. A layer of chalk in the subsoil, where the vine roots stop, provides a source of moisture during hot periods. W**emaking is kept as natural as possible, utilizing indigenous yeasts and inert vessels, with just a subtle touch of oak derived from local forests located a mere 5 km from the estate. Their "Blanc de Barbonne" cuvée is a 100% Chardonnay—lively and mineral, yet broad and complex—reflecting the multifaceted nature and potential of this terroir.
