Marc Colin is one of the G.O.A.Ts and this wine comes from ‘Les Encegnieres’ vineyard. There are two “Les Encégnières/Les Enceignières” parcels- one in Chassagne-Montrachet that lies directly underneath Grand Cru Bâtard, and one in Puligny-Montrachet that lies directly beneath Grand Cru Bienvenue-Bâtard. That is as close as you are going to get for hundreds of dollars less.
Burgundy is in his blood. Pierre grew up in the vines and helping his father in the cellar learning the meticulous craft of making world-class Chardonnay. This wine is made from 35+ year old Meursault vines with 20% coming from Volnay. It’s precise, it’s complex and it’s just down-right delicious.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested and native yeast fermentation.
Evening Land Vineyards is the Oregon-based brainchild of Sashi Moorman and Raj Parr, two of California’s most revered winemakers. Chardonnays from this specific area of Oregon are frequently compared to those of Burgundy, and this slightly reductive, incredibly complex bottling is no exception!
Organic and practicing biodynamic farming methods, LIVE certified, dry farmed, and only 695 cases produced.
If you like Sancerre, try this! Same grape, same winemaking methods, just from a neighboring village. It is bright and pure with a laser beam of citrus fruit and minerality. Perfect spring and summer sipper!
Certified organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, woman-winemaker and about 5,000 cases produced annually.
Enjoy this wine with goat cheese, sushi, ceviche or this Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad!
