Benedicte & Stephane Tissot are excellents winemakers in Jura in France, they are producing interesting wines from berries in a 32 hectares in Arbois on the Cotes de Jura appelation. They working in biodynamic condition the use of Sulphur is very minimized. I had trough job the chance to taste their Chardonnay and by chance i bought a Pinot Noir from 2009: Colour was a bit concentrate i assume the pigmentation in the fermentation was a bit longer from their cousins in Burgundy, show nice ripe fruit; currant and blackberries as secondary characteristic there were some tobacco and cinnamon running tighter with the fruit. Deeply length smooth tannin as every pinot has got, a chalky minerality on the palate with a freshness through the mouth for superb acidity give a signal a long live to this vintage. To enjoy with friends in a beautiful winter afternoon.
Follow my previous post recently I had another interesting Italian wine from north Italy. Elisabetta Foradori the producer, an environmental friendly lady from the aspect of sustainability viticulture. Granato is his top bench mark of the winery made with Teroldego Rotaliano 100% a wines with a great structure and longevity made with Anfora's "ancient clay pot" fermentation. 04 was still with an consistence tannin and freshness which give a the vintage the possibility to aging for at least another 10 years.... Try to believe me Follow my tasting on Foradori's wines I had one of her white Myrto made with Sauvignon and Incrocio Manzoni full creaminess trough the mouth but however with a really pleasant acidity and minerality made as well with biodynamic technique and stirring on the less in Anfora's... Follow by my research on Anfora's fermentation to try is C.O.S. another winery in Sicily which work at the same condition sustainability and minimal inter...

Domaine de L’R Domaine de L’R, Frédéric Sigonneau, Chinon, Loire He made the first vintages of Atauta in Ribera del Duero before returning to Cravant-lès-Coteaux to take up the reins at his father’s domaine and turn it into a haven for biodynamic wine enthusiasts from all over. His love of art shows on the labels, as does his sense of humour, but the real talent is in the bottle for sure. Cabernet Franc 100% Colour: clear purple, medium intensity and tears Nose: slightly funky nose, medium intensity, clean with red fruit and slight earthiness Mouth: medium acid and smooth medium tannin, savoury with slight red fruit. Medium minus body. Meaty finish. cool producer and very cool wine to have at least one in your life.
PROMIS As in the native Piedmont, Angelo Gaja's goal is to produce wines that are true to their origins, reflecting the distinctive qualities of their unique terroir. Tuscany's south of Livorno, is one of Italy's most dynamic wine regions. Cà Marcanda, the Gaja family's newest wine estate, is located in the famed Bolgheri district in the commune of Castagneto Carducci. Bolgheri's hot summer days, by brisk sea air and cool nights, create an ideal climate for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah vines. The estate is characterized by two distinct soil types - terre brune (dark soil), predominately loam and clay, and terre chiare (white soil), which is richer in limestone and filled with stones and pebbles. Recently I had this outstanding delicious red wine PROMIS Fruit and spice in the nose, fruit and leather in the taste and smooth on the back end. Earhy in the nose and smoth through the mouth with really silk tannins s...
Based in the hamlet of La Combe, Jean-François is making some incredible Jura wines from recently-certified (Demeter) biodynamic vineyards. In 1998 he returned to the family domaine after a period spent working in Burgundy, with Jean-Marc Morey. These wines are naturally made, with the reds receiving no sulfur dioxide additions, and the whites only a tiny amount. These are true terroir wines, and they are thrilling – especially the remarkable Savagnin. Cotes De Jura Poulsard 2010 Orange/red color very bright seem at first glance a rose wine. Warm, spicy nose with some roasted notes. The palate is fresh and pure with some cherry fruit backed up by complex minerally notes and high acidity. An elegant wine. I cooked with this fabulous biodinamic wine a orecchiette with a flathead tail and poached prawn with cherry tomato with grated oyster mushroom on top all confit.
Poulsard (also Ploussard ) is a red French wine grape variety from the Jura wine region. The name Ploussard is used mainly around the town of Pupillin but can appear on wine labels throughout Jura as an authorized synonyms . While technically a dark-skinned noir grape , the skins of Poulsard are very thin with low amounts of color - phenols and produces very pale colored red wines, even with extended maceration and can be used to produce white wines . Because of this, Poulsard is often blended with other red-skin varieties or used to produce lightly colored rosé wines. Additionally the grape is used to make blanc de noir white wines and sparkling cremants .

JACQUESSON Champagne The NV Brut Cuvee N° 735 is a gorgeous, fleshy wine laced with radiant fruit. Lemon, white flowers, spices, satisfying Champagne. A round, creamy finish wraps things up in style. The 735 got better and better over time, always a good sign. The 735 is 72% 2007 juice, 47% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier. It is a bit richer, rounder and express very well the terroir where is coming from. It is a wine with richness and power. The touch of steel give a great final bite. I drank the bottle with a basmati risotto with saffron e leeks to start and finish with poached spring onion blenched in butter with button mushroom caramelized on honey and fennel pollen dehydrate. look this video a bit rude about Jean Herve Chiquet talking on Italians spoken second language, envy perhaps for our beautiful climate and land...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuhW1Hs8_FY
