Training system: Guyot

From Coche-Dury’s minute parcel in Les Enseignères—just below Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet on thin clay-limestone—2022 is hand-harvested Chardonnay

The terroir is rocks and sand soils

The balance between the intensity of great Pinot Noir and the freshness of Chardonnays

Lees stirring occurs twice towards the end of primary fermentation then once more at the completion of malolactic fermentation

2024 Domaine Chapel Beaujolais-Villages, France Stranahan's Training system: GuyotThe Gamay vines are a blend of several plots in the village of Lantigni, high up in the hills and bordering the cru of Rgni and another village a little further south. The average altitude of the east and southeast facing parcels is 380 meters. The shallow soils are mainly composed of sandy gore from decomposed pink granite. The average vine age ranges between 40 & 50 years old. David and Michele's goal is to make you wish you ordered a magnum of it.
