Claude began the domaine in 1981 and in the mid 1980’s he met Henri Jayer (The ‘Godfather of Burgundy: 1922-2006), who became a huge source of inspiration and learning. Since then Marechal has, year after year, honed his skills and today offers incredibly fine wine, among the greats in Burgundy. These wines offer everything one wants in Burgundy but that is so hard to find - admirable concentration, purity and finesse combined with texture and balance that will see these wines evolve over many years. Claude's wines are not expensive for top level Burgundy, something very rare these days. We have stocked every Vintage release of the Marechal vins since coming into Oz, which speaks for itself!

In 1966 her parents Dr Kevin and Diana Cullen planted a trial one-acre (0.4-hectare) vineyard on their sheep and cattle property at Wilyabrup in the Margaret River. Vanya Cullen is convinced that biodynamic principles have shaped the quality, character and consistency of the fruit. Her devotion to ‘quality, integrity and sustainability’ in vineyards and winery have resulted in something extraordinary and special. The Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot is all about vineyard character, finesse, flavour and longevity. The hand-harvested grapes are picked when the fruit has achieved optimum tannin ripeness, flavour development and acid balance, usually when the moon is running high. The introduction of sorting tables and minimal handling has further improved quality. Between 10'%' and 50'%' of the wine is partially barrel fermented; the rest is given extended maceration before further maturation in 30% new, tightly-grained French oak.

He is one of the more well-known of the natural producers since taking over the domaine in the hamlet of Vermont from his father in 1988, with all but a half a hectare to his name. Some refer to him as the unofficial fifth member of the “Gang of Four” (Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton).

Grapes are hand-harvested in whole clusters and pressed very slowly in an old vertical press with modern, precise pressure control, fermented with natural yeasts in a long, low temperature semi-carbonic maceration - minimal or zero sulfur is used, only before bottling. (Approximately 10 - 20 mg\/L in 2018.) Descombes is a true master of this type of winemaking - starting of course with great farming, bringing out beautifully complex aromas and gorgeous fruit on the palate, undiminished by excess SO2, beautifully balanced, clean and long. In short, the Descombes wines are among the finest and most consistent in Beaujolais! Tucked away up in the hills between Morgon and Fleurie, Chiroubles has often been described as “the most Beaujolais of the ten crus of Beaujolais.” In other words, everything that makes wines from this region so lovable, low alcohol, explosive flowery aromas, high-toned juicy fruit are all intensified in Chiroubles. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Georges Descombes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292717818040,"sku":"17818040","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Georges_Descombes_Chiroubles_Vieilles_Vignes_2019.png?v=1648240819"},{"product_id":"herve-souhart-st-joseph-clos-des-ceyssieux-2020","title":"Herve Souhart, St Joseph Clos Des Cessieux 2020","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClos des Cessieux is a study of Hervé’s use of finesse in what would traditionally have made a powerful and brooding wine.

Hervé works 5-hectares of old and ancient vines—between 50 to 100 years old. He is very fortunate to work two vineyards in the Rhône Valley just opposite the storied hills of Hermitage in Saint Joseph.The actual domaine is located further into the hills of the Northern Ardeche along the Doux River, in the tiny town of Arlebosc, about a 30-minute drive, winding through the hills west from St Joseph. The winery is underneath the 16th century “Les Romaneaux” fortified farm and sits in the middle of the vines that make up the Souteronne, Syrah, and white cuvées. The methods of Jules Chauvet are followed here. Hervé works entirely on whole grape bunches and semi-carbonic maceration. His philosophy is to extract a delicate balance of tannins from the grapes, to make a wine with subtlety and finesse. This stands in contrast to many of the storied wines of the Northern Rhone that are made with much more extraction of tannin, where they are designed to be practically undrinkable in their youth, as time is needed for them to soften and open up. Hervé prefers to make a wine that is drinkable right away, but we must say his wines have such a fantastic level of purity and acidity, that the older bottles have incredible potential to evolve into what we find to be one of the most spectacular natural wines in existence.The AOC wines are labeled under Souhaut's name, while the Vin de Pays cuvées are named Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, in homage to the name of his wife Béatrice's parents' estate combined with family name. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Herve Souhaut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292725190840,"sku":"25190840","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Herve_Souhart__St_Joseph_Les_Ceyssieux_2020.png?v=1648241017"},{"product_id":"mader-gewurztraminer-2018","title":"Jean-Luc Mader Gewurztraminer 2018","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 Gewurztraminer is sourced in the higher altitudes of Hunawihr (mostly Muhlforst which adjoins Grand cru Rosacker) from clay and limestone soils.

They also have tiny holdings in neighbouring Chambolle Musigny and Gevrey Chambertin. Virgile’s father and grand-father had always produced wine and sold it to negotiants until Virgile started working with his father in the early 1990’s and he decided to sell the wines himself. Now with almost 20 vintages of experience Virgile has moved the domaine to fully organic viticulture and is producing what many believe to be the best wines of this prestigious village. In the last 10 years Virgile has modified his wine-making using whole-bunch vinification ranging from 30-100?pending on the vintage and the vineyard. He has also reduced the percentage of new oak (mostly Seguin-Moreau and Francois freres) for maturation with most wines seeing around 30% making its effect seamless in the final wines. He also completed a new winery back in 2013 that enables him to work with temperature control and to gain a very gentle extraction of tannins for all his wines. This results in wines are showing great precision and energy with remarkable perfume and also beautiful fine tannins and very silky structure. They are wines which are often very seductive at a young age which also clearly have the potential for ageing superbly. This very young domaine is now regarded among the very best in the Cotes de Nuits! \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lignier Michelot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292730269880,"sku":"30269880","price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Lignier_Michot_Chambolle_Musigny_Vieilles_Vigne_2017.png?v=1648241085"},{"product_id":"pian-delle-vigne-brunello-di-montalcino-2018","title":"Pian Delle Vigne Brunello Di Montalcino 2018","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Pts Wine Spectator:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eA generous red, where ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, iron and rose hip aromas and flavors abound.

It was planted in the 1950s. The plot is situated on a soil that is constituted of clay and lime stone, and that is very steep. It is divided into two sub-islets, the smallest being a former quarry. The soil is very clayey and red, which gives a dense texture to this wine’s tannins. The “Clos” is isolated by trees and broom which is a rare plant in Burgundy.

Emerging out of her Perryscope wine consulting business, Dormilona was given breath to elaborate the fruit that was coming off organic vineyards across the region. Her direction was to pick earlier, and to do less in the winery, with no adjustments, no oak signatures and no fining or filtration. Her wines are made from familiar varieties (chardonnay, cabernet, chenin blanc), but reflected in thrillingly vibrant and taut ways, electrified by vibrant structures and cushioned with subtle texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Translating as ‘lazy bones’ in Spanish, the name Dormilona is as evocative of Josephine Perry’s methods as it is also entirely unrepresentative of herself and her work ethic. The message here, of course, is a hands-off approach to making, but that ‘neglect’ is benign and underpinned by a rigorous approach to farming and fruit sourcing. While some ‘conventional’ fruit has been employed at times, the vast majority is organic or biodynamic, with the intent for it to be all so, especially with the winery now certified organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Perry started somewhat early in the wine game, with vintage work at Cape Mentelle at the tender age of 14. This came about via the encouragement of one of her mentors, her Grandfather. He was a brewer at the old Swan Brewery, and they used to experiment with all kinds of things that fermented, including an apricot wine that she made for her high school science class – that one got her a detention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Perry studied winemaking by distance (Charles Sturt), so was able to fit in an extraordinary range of experience in a relatively short time, including in the Rhône, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Spain, New Zealand and California, as well as a near unbroken string of Margaret River vintages, plus some time in Orange, NSW, with Philip Shaw (another mentor). If that’s not enough, before settling back into Margaret River full-time, she managed the winemaking operations at two wineries in Galicia, as well as consulting in the Canary Islands. Lazy indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Perry has been a three-time finalist in the Young Gun of Wine Awards, first when she won Best New Act in 2013 (notably, it was the first year of that award – with the judges so taken by the new Dormilona label that they decided to create the Best New Act trophy), then in 2014, and again when she was crowned Young Gun of Wine in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Perry works in a minimal intervention way, for sure, with no additives, bar a minimal application of sulphur, but her wines don’t always fit into what one might have come to expect from ‘natural’ wines. Although she does use skin contact on whites to a degree, her wines are especially poised and elegant, lithe and crackling with spirit and drive, while still packing plenty of detail. She uses amphora for her ‘Clayface’ label for both cabernet and chardonnay, and tends to steel and neutral oak otherwise. Overall, the Dormilona wines are thoroughly individual, while also paying due respect to some of the touchstones of Margaret River. \u003cstrong\u003eYOUNG GUN OF WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dormilona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41744263479480,"sku":"63479480","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/DormilonaCabSav.png?v=1657755404"},{"product_id":"winners-tank-shiraz-2023","title":"Winners Tank Shiraz 2023","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earliest maturing shiraz grapes from the Eskadale block were harvested for this wine ensuring vibrant and dynamic fruit flavours for the wine.

Tasting a pre-phylloxera bottle of Domaine Tempier Bandol (a wedding gift from his father-in-law) inspired Lucien to research the terroir of Bandol extensively. Up until that point, old vineyards planted with Mourvèdre had been systematically replanted to higher-yielding varietals. However, more research not only showed its historical roots to the area, but the grape proved to be more resistant to oxidation, producing wines with great aging potential. By 1941, with the assistance of neighboring vignerons, Lucien worked with the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d’Origines) to establish Bandol as its own A.O.C. Needless to say, large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre ensued, and Bandol now requires a fifty percent minimum in all reds. Lucien will forever be celebrated as the Godfather of Bandol, but also as the man who revived Mourvèdre to its former glory. Raising deep and structured wines of such refinement and longevity has made Domaine Tempier truly a grand cru de Provence. \u003cstrong\u003eKermit Lynch\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempier has entered a new phase in its evolution with the appointment of Daniel Ravier as winemaker.
