A true craftsman of wine, he worked with determination and conviction for the organic certification of Château La Mothe du Barry and Château les Arromans. Today all the wines produced, all appellations combined, are certified AB.

The vines are planted on the clay \u0026amp; limestone slopes of the village, a terroir the Merlot grapes thrive on. From his studies and work placements in France and abroad (Burgundy, Beaujolais, Rioja, California…) he retained his natural curiosity and a taste for discovering all things new which enable him, vintage after vintage, to evolve in his winegrowing and winemaking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis, in turn, allows him to produce ever more expressive wines, of which the Cuvée le Barry is praised every year in several wine guides. His other wines are also renowned for their quality, like his Entre-Deux-Mers, produced from vines planted on boulbene (fine siliceous soil) terroirs, situated in Naujean et Postiac (white grape varieties absolutely love boulbene terroirs!)\u003cbr\u003eIt’s because of Joëls’ passion for this terroir, so typical of Entre-Deux-Mers area, but also because of his motivation to go back to nature and its core values that he started the process of converting to organic viticulture in 2009. The certification is obtained for all Bordeaux Superieur and Bordeaux Clairet with the vintage 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40134531842201,"sku":"3760027483213","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/6599bcde899e0c9de44cfc2587db19ed674466e9.png?v=1765765661"},{"product_id":"chteautalbotsaint-julien2019","title":"Château Talbot \"Connétable\" Saint-Julien 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14,5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e : Médoc, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: A strong team is in place at Talbot, led by\u003cspan\u003e Jean-Michel Laporte (formerly of La Conseillante) as technical director and Stéphane Derenoncourt as consultant.

It is a well known fact: to be and to remain the owner of a well respected vineyard, one must be endowed with a real aristocracy that identifies itself with the vineyard and the wine. Everything must be sacrificed for this, beginning with interests (…). In order to be a grand cru owner, you must in some way be in love with it… ”His son Georges and then his grandson, Jean, succeeded him as the head of the estate. Under their guidance, Talbot became one of the most famous growths in the Bordeaux region.Following the death of Jean Cordier, his daughters Lorraine and Nancy, took over the reins of Talbot. Enriched with the still vivid memory of knowledge and experience of past generations which preceded them, Lorraine and Nancy worked together to do justice to this Grand Cru with all the talent and respect that it deserved. Today Nancy Bignon Cordier, her husband Jean-Paul, their children Philippine, Marguerite and Gustave Bignon pursue the story of Talbot; a long history which has always united with passion the destiny of a family to that of a vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40353329578137,"sku":"015643660429","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/d7e7fd46ae001b616cb570f2f8699c83930b7c6f.png?v=1768847846"},{"product_id":"chateau-magneau-graves-2022","title":"Château Magneau Graves  ROUGE 2022","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 12,5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/b\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription:\u003c\/b\u003e The red wine is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

Today, Chateau Magneau is run by Henri Ardurats and his two sons Jean-Louis and Bruno along with Jean-Louis’ wife, Brigitte, who is responsible for the sales. Jean-Louis is in charge of the vineyards as well as the winemaking. He continually works on the expression of his wines by farming parcels of land individually and then vinifying each separately according to its intrinsic character. A modern winery was built in 1980 and a new barrel cellar in 1996. From one generation to the next, the Ardurats have passed on the philosophy of “quality before profit\" and they have been recognized by an exhaustive list of awards. In 2002, they received the Trophée des Crus de Graves, an award which is given by colleagues and which recognizes only a few chateaux from the entire appellation. The Ardurats farm 41 hectares of land with deep gravelly soil in the heart of the Graves appellation. Farming is done without the use of chemical insecticides and harvesting is done both by hand and by machine. Before entering the winery all grape bunches are hand-sorted to ensure the highest quality of fruit.

What is in any case certain is that the château is home to a long-established family tradition of cultivating the vine. Today the vineyards are managed by Marie Vialard, a direct descendant of Jacques Mondon who bought the estate in 1895, and Louis Vialard, who restored it to its former glory in the middle of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cissac is located right in the heart of the Médoc region. Its exceptional terroir adjoins that of the prestigious Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac appellations, extending over an area of around a hundred hectares. The soil is mainly sandy gravel on top of clay and limestone, and the vineyards occupy a single tract of land sheltered by the village of Cissac and the forests surrounding it. In keeping with Médoc tradition, the vineyards are mainly planted with their traditional variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. This variety is ideally suited to the type of terroir in Cissac, where its strength and aromas can realise their full potential.

At the time, the small estate was known as Domaine Guilhem Hosten. Even in those days, wine was produced from the property. The vineyards and estate were developed by the owner in the late 1700s, the Gorce family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, even back then, their wine was so highly regarded, it was one of the more expensive wines in all of Bordeaux selling for almost as much money as Brane Mouton. This is interesting because of who went on to buy the vineyard in the 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baron of Brane, also known as “Napoleon of the Vineyards”, purchased the chateau in 1833. At the time of the sale, the estate was called Chateau Gorce-Guy. To obtain the funds needed to purchase the vineyard, the Baron sold what is now called Chateau Mouton Rothschild, which was at the time of the sale was known as Chateau Brane-Mouton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1838, the Baron renamed the property, merging his name with the name of the sector where the vineyards were located, calling it Chateau Brane Cantenac. The chateau later passed to the Roy family, who were well-known in the Margaux appellation in those days, as they owned Chateau dIssan as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJumping into the next century, in 1920, the Societe des Grands Crus de France, a group of merchants and growers that owned several chateaux located in the Medoc including; Chateau Margaux, Chateau Giscours, and Chateau Lagrange in St. Julien, purchased Chateau Brane Cantenac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChateau Brane Cantenac The Modern Era\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years later, M.

Today, the estate is still in the hands of the Lurton family. Brane Cantenac is currently owned and more than ably managed by the capable, Henri Lurton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being given the responsibility of managing Brane Cantenac, it was under the direction of Henri Lurton that large portions of the vineyard were replanted.

The preponderance of Merlot works here, due to its slightly cooler microclimate and the rich clay soils. The vines are old, with an average age of close to 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard has a terroir of gravel, clay, and sand soils, typical of the Listrac appellation.

What is in any case certain is that the château is home to a long-established family tradition of cultivating the vine. Today the vineyards are managed by Marie Vialard, a direct descendant of Jacques Mondon who bought the estate in 1895, and Louis Vialard, who restored it to its former glory in the middle of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Cissac is located right in the heart of the Médoc region. Its exceptional terroir adjoins that of the prestigious Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac appellations, extending over an area of around a hundred hectares. The soil is mainly sandy gravel on top of clay and limestone, and the vineyards occupy a single tract of land sheltered by the village of Cissac and the forests surrounding it. In keeping with Médoc tradition, the vineyards are mainly planted with their traditional variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. This variety is ideally suited to the type of terroir in Cissac, where its strength and aromas can realise their full potential. Blended with elegant Merlots and spicy Petit Verdots, Cabernet Sauvignon produces wines that are particularly complex and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRespecting the demands of the climate, the particularities of the terroir, the nature of the grape varieties and wine making tradition : these are the core principles which govern the running of the estate. But in order to fully benefit from the intrinsic qualities of its vineyards, and to enable its wines to reveal their maximum intensity, Chateau Cissac is continually striving to improve the quality of its production process. Modernisation has included improving the biodiversity of the soil, introducing a policy of systematically renewing vine stocks, maintaining and renewing barrels, and a sustainable optimisation of age-old winemaking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48651489476865,"sku":"3342590077947","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/0919423b-1.png?v=1776882319"},{"product_id":"chateau-peybonhomme-les-tours-bordeaux-cotes-de-blaye-2022","title":"Château Peybonhomme Les Tours Bordeaux Côtes de Blaye 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e: 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation\u003c\/b\u003e: Côtes de Blaye, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The Blaye Cotes du Bordeaux is full-bodied, showing more density and ripeness in this very good vintage for Bordeaux.
