These "gress" stones regulate soil temperature and allow for proper drainage, ensuring balanced maturity levels for the grapes. They also force the vine roots to plunge down further into the bedrock in the search for water, giving a unique minerality to the resulting wines. The regional mistral wind aerates the bunches and reduces the risk of vine disease.

The VIA XVII is a red blend from several parcels with varied soils, elevations and expositions. The grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster macerated for 30-42 days in open plastic tubs, then pressed into 400 & 500L French barrels for fermentation and raising on fine lees over winter with regular battonage, and given a light filtration before bottling.

This apple is intensely flavored, with a powerful combination of tart and sweet. It is one of America's classic heirlooms, discovered in 1826 in Woodstock, NY. It ferments white-wine like, with baked apple character, juicy fresh plums, and minerality. It is bright and refreshing, yeasty yet fruit forward. Apples grown at Ela Family Farms.

On the Front Range, summer apples ripen in July and August. Their flavors tend toward a lively and sprightly acidity. This cider is evocative of summer with bright, fruity notes of vanilla, lime zest, and crisp green apple. This blend includes dozens of summer varieties.

Many Colorado crabapples are exceptional. They foraged crabapples all over the state with over 20 varieties blended in this bottle. Together they invoke notes of Meyer lemon, Ponderosa, chalk, slate, white wine, and honey suckle. This should be your go to cider to convince your wine friends to drink cider!

L'Hermitiére is a sparkling Norman cider that in my mind sits roughly halfway between the greats of Clos Normand and Etienne DuPont on a few dimensions. Cidre Brut is lively and complex, with the delicate aroma of ripe apples, leather, and freshly mown hay. These ciders can be enjoyed for years while gaining complexity as they age.

This is his nod to the old school. Made in barrels, natural yeast, unfiltered and never cold stabilized. We generally want the best in life. Here are the BEST of the BEST. Grand Cru's!, Pinot Noir from Aÿ: Pruche, Cheuzelles,
Longchamps, and Chaffour. Chardonnay from Grand Crus in Oiry, Chouilly & Avize: La Justice, Montaigu & Les Robarts. Enjoyment has never been Easier!

1er Cru for this price? . . good luck! Plus shipping from anywhere yeah right! Oh and this is THE Grower who has the goods. A very serious, structured wine endowed with considerable focus and thrust in its intense minerality. There is tons of personality, yet I sense the wine’s aromas and flavors are somewhat reticent today owing to this wine’s relatively recent disgorgement.

I drink a lot of this wine at home, and every bottle makes me glad. It’s a Champagne of impact; it’s just earthy enough to be marked as a grower but just polished enough to indicate fine Champagne. It’s full of character, solid enough to be toothsome, silky enough to gliss across the tongue. Base wines are unfiltered. 80-20 steel to wood. Average 32-year vines. – Terry Theise

One of burgundies finest talents, this is the FIRST YEAR EVER that Joy has been offered an allocation. These wines are sublime and ethereal, yet grounded with innate structure. Pernard is located just below the Grand Cru of Corton Charlemagne, and has a similar terroir. This is a rare wine and worth savoring.

This newest offering is a compelling testament to what Dalla Valle’s hillside blocks are capable of producing. Blended mainly from the fruit of the estate’s young vines, Collina, which means “hill” in Italian, is intended to be enjoyed upon release—although, like all Dalla Valle wines, it will continue to evolve for a decade or longer.

The wine is aged in barrel and stainless steel for a total of 17 months. Extended lees contact, a late bottling, and wonderful vineyard blocks make this wine magic. Breezy, vibrant and focused, with beautiful linearity, this wine is consistently one of our favorites to produce. Only 150 cases made!

The wine is 100% Schioppettino. The wine is a non-vintage blend of 1 barrel of 2016 wine and 2 barrels of 2017 wine. We loved the combination of primary and secondary flavors that the non-vintage blend gave us. The Schioppettino has fascinating flavors of cedar, black pepper, violets, and raspberry. It has lots of acid and stony minerality.
