In the heart of Languedoc , facing the town of Sète and Mont Saint Clair, lulled by the Lagoon of Thau, the Domaine Saint-André brings together all the traditional grape varieties of the Languedoc to which are added certain Bordeaux grape varieties, which benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by maritime influences.
Folie d’Inès Rosé is made from the finest Grenache and Cinsault grapes, with their crisp, sun-kissed berries. An elegant, expressive wine, with aromas of red berries and dried flowers. The sensation of freshness ends with a crisp finish.
The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character.
This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
This domain held a twin appeal for M. CHAPOUTIER: a vineyard already converted to organic in Montfrin in Gard county, and a section in Costières de Nîmes, where the company did not yet own vineyards. The first visit to this beautifully-maintained vineyard was promising, and in 2018, a range of appellations – Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Costières de Nîmes and Pays d’Oc – have been produced.
The vineyard plots are located in the commune of Montfrin. This wine comes from a soil composed of deep red clay and siliceous pebbles of various sizes brought by the sea some several million years ago.
The Cave of Vignerons de Buxy offers a selection of wines produced in limited quantities. Selected by the best winemaker these wines, produced and matured individually, come from the vineyards, estates and châteaux of the property, like Domaine Steinmaier in Givry.
Located on the Côte Chalonnaise, south of Burgundy, the Givry region produces primarily red wines. The parcels face from east to southeast, and range from 240 to 280 meters high. The grapes are planted on calcareous soil. The subsoil is composed mainly of limestone.
The Cantina di Negrar brand is the soul of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar and pays homage to the philosophy of cooperative production while also recalling the territory’s historical vestiges: the effigy of St. Mark’s Lion standing tall on a column in the centre of Negrar is testimony of the Venetian Republic’s domination in the sixteenth century. The Cantina di Negrar wines are rooted in the wine-making tradition of Valpolicella and the Veronese wine-growing areas, with a modern reinterpretation to guarantee the best price/quality ratio.
Domìni Veneti is the emblem of the quality wines of Valpolicella Classica and Veronese. It represents the most authentic expression of a territory well defined from a geographical and historical point of view.
Soave is the youngest cultivation area, with slopes exposed to the north. The hill where the production is concentrated is of volcanic origin, very similar to the Alsatian soil. In this area the Garganega reaches expressive capacities similar to those of the Rieslings from beyond the Alps.
