Domaine Ferrandiere

Domaine Ferrandiere

Established in 1922 by the GAU Family, Domaine Ferrandière is located in between Corbières and Minervois. The estate offers a range of wines that perfectly express the signature characteristics of their grapes due to a unique terroir.

 

Their 100ha estate is planted on the reclaimed salt-water lagoon of Marseillette. Around 15 million years ago, the water levels decreased little by little leaving layers of sediments and salt. When the Mediterranean sea got to the point where it is now (around 2 million years ago) it had left 2000ha of stagnant water full of reeds and samphire which is today the Etang de Marseillette. To remove the salt which has built up in the soils, certain parts of the lagoon are flooded each year. Domaine Ferrandière is flooded during 40 days in winter in order to get rid of the salt content. On this extraordinary land they can produce un-grafted vines which produce grapes with intense flavours and a crisp acidity.

 

18 grape varieties are planted on the estate. The vines are in between 6 and 30 years old and are machine harvested and trained with the Cordon de Royat and Guyot Simple systems. The Estate is farmed sustainably and is both Terra Vitis certified and High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 certified.

Aujoux

Aujoux

Aujoux, formerly "Beaujolais Wine Company" was purchased in 1938 by Mr Amann, a leading Swiss businessman. In November 1954, the company was named Aujoux SA, after the former CEO Jean Marc Aujoux, who was a particularly talented visionary. In 1990, to strengthen their weight in Beaujolais, they combined with other famous houses, Jacques Depaqneux and Chanut. The company was then renamed Alliance of Fine Wines. The extension continued southwards in 2002 with new interests in the Languedoc Roussillon. This was the beginning of Signatures de Sud.

In 2007, the house expanded by moving to La Chapelle de Guinchay, to allow further development of the company. Aujoux today enjoys the most modern facilities and a dynamic business development team that brings to market 10 million bottles per year, both in France and from around the world.

Located in the heart of the Beaujolais vineyards, the Municipality of La Chapelle de Guinchay, is surrounded by the most prestigious vineyards such as Saint-Amour, Julienas, Chenas and Moulin-a-Vent. Aujoux is committed to producing wines that reflect more accurately the character of the soils and climate.

From Burgundy to the Rhone Valley through Beaujolais, Aujoux has may partners and choose wines that reflect the work of both nature and winemaker.

L'Artisan

L'Artisan

L’Artisan or « craftmanship » are cuvées coming from meticulous plot selections in our vineyards and benefiting from a "tailor-made" cellar work. The result: the pure and intense expression of their vines.


Jean-Claude Mas’ passion for wine was born at an early age when his mother used to take him for rides across the family estate by moped. From these escapades, the story of Domaines Paul Mas began. An eye-catchy design for wines packed with bright fruit flavours and character.

Lou Miranda

Lou Miranda

Lou Miranda Estate is a family owned boutique winery based in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.

 

Lou, his wife Val and their daughters Lisa and Victoria produce premium quality wines under the Leone and Lou Miranda Estate brands using fruit from their own Barossa Valley vineyards. Lou’s father used to say ‘You can only make great wine with great fruit’. This simple but effective philosophy is reflected in all that they do today, from our rigorous approach to vineyard management, consistency and discipline over fruit selection to hand crafted winemaking practices.

 

In one way or another, the family has been working on these wines for more than seventy years. It started when our nonno, Francesco Miranda came to Australia from Italy in 1938. He arrived in Griffith, New South Wales and set about building his dream. His son Lou has spent a lifetime building on his father’s passion while adding his own unique style.

Domaines Schlumberger

Domaines Schlumberger

Now run by the 6th and 7th generations, Domaines Schlumberger was founded in 1810 by Nicolas Schlumberger, who established vineyards on the renowned slopes above the town of Guebwiller. These vineyard sites have a history of viticulture, having been planted since 207AD. Through successive generations the holding has grown to be one of France’s largest and finest domaines.

 

Domaines Schlumberger now own 130 hectares of vineyards, 70 of which are Grand Cru. This makes them not only the largest owner of vineyards in Alsace, but also the largest owner of Grand Cru in the region. The vineyards include four Grand Cru sites which contribute to more than 50% of production. Yields are kept deliberately low, often a necessity on the steeper slopes of light sandy soil which can be as much as 60 degrees gradient. The vines are horizontally planted in rows protected by 50 kilometres of dry-stone walls to prevent soil erosion.

 

The vineyards have the best exposure (south to south east) and a cooling breeze, allowing the organically farmed grapes, to reach optimum maturity producing healthy grapes.

Tocavi

Tocavi

The landscapes are calm and quiet, they change every year with each season, but they have always been there to accompany us.

Sublime moments. That little moment where everything seems to make sense to you.
We spend our lives looking for the path, never clear, always hard to find… and suddenly one day you realize that the path was always in front of you, waiting for you

A fusion of two passions, wine and cycling... tocavi

Bollinger

Bollinger

Champagne Bollinger was established in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and to this day is still family owned. Benefitting from ownership of 164 hectares of vineyards in the finest Premier and Grand Cru sites the highest quality fruit is secure, the majority of which is Pinot Noir. Bollinger only uses the cuvée (first press) which gives a purer and finer must. Vinification is done by varietal and by cru delivering an impressive collection of base wines to make up the blend of Bollinger Special Cuvée and Bollinger Rosé. As well as this, a unique collection of 600,000 magnums of reserve wine are stored in the cellars in Aÿ under natural cork. These are skilfully blended by Chef de Cave Gilles Descôtes to make non vintage blends of distinction. La Grande Année is produced in exceptional years interpreting the vintage in the style of Bollinger. Very old oak barrels are used to vinify the wines encouraging complexity and breadth without imparting an oak character. Extended ageing and incredibly careful handling make this one of the most sought after prestige cuvées in the market.
