If you need something to use for Kir Royales, Mimossas, weddings or graduation parties, Le Berceau is just about perfect, although it really shines on its own at parties, weddings, or your back porch on a Tuesday evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The domain limits their yields in the vineyard to 40 hectoliters per hectare. Harvesting is done by hand and the Blanquette de Limoux is kept for a minimum of nine months on the lees before being disgorged. The “Le Berceau” which translates to “cradle”, a reference to the birthplace of sparkling wine, is produced from the Mauzac grape, a traditional grape of this region.

It has a unique geoclimate, a situation due to the dual influences of the Atlantic which brings cool and wet weather and the Mediterranean which delivers hot and dry conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine de Martinolles was owned by the Vergnes family from 1926 until 2011 when the estate was sold to the native Languedocoen vigneron, Jean Claude Mas.

The appellation’s mandate is for white wine only, though a small amount of red wine is produced in the region and falls under the Bearn appellation. Historically, the wines of Jurançon were “moelleux”. Dry wines are a recent development, receiving a separate AOC in 1975 and requiring the word “sec” to be added on the label in conjunction with the name Jurançon. At present, Jurançon has approximately 60 producers of estate-bottled wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Marc Grussaute and his mother, Jany, own a small but remarkable vineyard situated in the Chapelle de Rousse area of Jurançon. The family arrived at Larredya in the year 1900. At first, they raised cattle and planted fruit trees. A half-century later they began cultivating strawberries as a commercial crop. In the 1970’s Jean Marc’s father, Jean, one of the region’s pioneers in re-establishing the wines of Jurancon, planted 4 hectares of vines along their terraced hillside. In 1983, Jean Grussaute passed away pre-maturely and Jean-Marc’s mother held together with the estate until Jean-Marc arrived in 1988 at the age of 20 having just received his diploma from Bordeaux. Together, Jean-Marc and his mother have transformed their remote hillside vineyard into a world-renowned wine estate. Much of the vineyard planted by Jean-Marc’s father 50 years ago is terraced and lies on steep and curved slopes that form an amphitheater. It is south facing with an amazing view of some of the highest peaks in the Pyrénées. The vineyard is planted to 65% Petit Manseng and 27% Gros Manseng and 8% Petit Courbu\/Camarelet. Jean-Marc Grussaute began estate bottling in 1988 and in the years since he has evolved both as a farmer and as a winemaker. He has farmed organically since 2007 with the first certified vintage being 2010. He also farms according to bio-dynamic principles and is certified by Demeter. Jean-Marc names his different cuvées in accord with the vineyard parcels from which they come.

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. The Ardurats are a member of Terra Vitis, an organization that certifies the practice of sustainable agriculture as well as high standards for the wine’s vinification.\u003c\/span\u003e\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 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40670025875609,"sku":"857072001455","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/85d0809941a078e1505a5c4d76b6422cb97c20c2.png?v=1774967224"},{"product_id":"domaine-billard-pere-fils-bourgogne-aligote-2024","title":"Domaine Billard Pere \u0026 Fils  Bourgogne Aligote 2024","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; text-align: left;\"\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:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Aligoté\u003c\/span\u003e\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: Burgundy, 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\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It shows an aromatic expression of lemon, lime, and peach aromas, with a hint of butter.

Over the years, the estate has expanded and now includes 11 hectares divided among seven “climats”. The parcels are mostly in Rully but include small plots in Bouzeron and Beaune. In Rully they have vineyards in four “climats”: the 1er Cru “Les Pierres” and the three lieux dits “Les Cailloux”, “Moulin A Vent” and “Chaponnière.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Anne-Sophie’s son, Felix joined her at the domain. Their vineyards are all worked with respect for the environment. No insecticides or herbicides are used, the ground is plowed but otherwise, the use of a tractor is restricted. The winery or “cave de vinification” is a vaulted cellar that was dug from the Rully hillside in 1850. It was originally built by a local negociant who wanted to have a cellar for sparkling wine similar to those in Champagne. Today, it offers Anne-Sophie and Felix a wonderful environment in which to mature their wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnne-Sophie and Felix farm 3 hectares in the “Les Cailloux” vineyard. 1.3 hectares are planted to Chardonnay and 1.6 hectares are planted to Pinot Noir. The plant density is 8,000 plants per hectare and the vines have an average age of over 50 years. Anne-Sophie and Felix further ensure quality fruit by severely limiting the yields of their plants with the Chardonnay yielding 40hl per hectare and the Pinot Noir between 30 and 35 hl\/hectare. The “Les Cailloux” vineyard descends from a plateau at one of the highest elevations in Rully and offers beautiful views of the Rully valleys below and the greater Côtes Challonnaise. As the vineyard name suggests, this “lieu dit” has a great many surface stones. They absorb the sun’s heat during the day and radiate it back to the plants after sunset. Wild herbs and grasses are encouraged to grow between the rows and in the summer, it gives their vineyard the look of an untamed garden. The grasses in combination with the rocky soils and dense planting produce an environment where the vines produce few bunches with grapes that are beautifully ripe, concentrated, and balanced.

It is located in the historic commune of La Brède, a mile from the historic moated castle where Montesquieu was born. 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. The Ardurats are a member of Terra Vitis, an organization that certifies the practice of sustainable agriculture as well as high standards for the wine’s vinification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42380314640641,"sku":"857072001066","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/MAGNEAU-BLANC_fd45b04c-fe91-4d00-af6d-79cf1559dc84.png?v=1771523007"},{"product_id":"domaine-des-terrisses-gaillac-rouge-2023","title":"Domaine des Terrisses Gaillac Rouge 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% Braucol, 30% Duras and 20% Prunelard\/Syrah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization: \u003c\/strong\u003eGaillac, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This blend is expressive with aromas of dark berries, spice and peppers.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Alain’s father was among a small group of Gaillacois vignerons to produce estate-bottled wines which focused on quality and authenticity. Alain and Brigitte continue in the same vein. The vineyard is situated along the “Premiere Cotes” of Gaillac, the hillsides facing south-southwest toward the Tarn River with predominantly clay soils that Alain says are similar to those found in the Medoc. The majority of the vineyard is planted with the traditional grape varieties of the region; Mauzac and Loin de L’oeil for the whites and Braucol, Duras and Prunelard for the reds.

The swing from day to night temperatures can be greater than 15°C, which allows a longer ripening period and a pleasant balance in the acidity of the grapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe iconic wines of this estate are its barrel aged Chardonnays, Crémants blanc, and red Limoux blends. Le Berceau traditional method wines were already well renowned during their glory days, over 30 years ago.

The traditional method sparkling wines are stored in what can only be described as a wall of glass, comprising more than 1.5 million bottles; a necessary stage in the bottle maturation process of between 15 to 30 months on lees in order to produce top quality sparkling wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43188539719937,"sku":"3280340757049","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/VergnesDomaineMartinollesChardonnay_IGPAude_France2022_grande_334a4f64-64fc-4aa5-aaad-058e3ae9146c.png?v=1775342233"},{"product_id":"chateau-la-caminade-mission-la-caminade-cahors-2020","title":"Château La Caminade “Mission La Caminade” Cahors 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.25%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 85% Malbec, 15% Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cahors, Southwest France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a smooth, ripe wine full of generous tannins and black fruits.

The Vieules family have had a vineyard in Villeneuve since 1804. Today the vineyard is run by Mathieu Vieules who grows wheat, sunflowers and grapes in equal proportions. All his land is farmed organically with the vineyard being certified in 2013. The domain takes its name from Mathieu’s great-grandfather, Philemon, who in 1914 was the first generation to produce wine commercially. In 2003 Mathieu became the first to estate bottle his family’s wines. Along with his other crops, Mathieu has twenty hectares of vineyards in production along the Cordes plateau on south facing slopes with a calcerous soil. They are planted almost entirely to the traditional Gaillac grape varieties: Loin de L’oeil, Mauzac and Muscadelle for the whites, and Braucol (Fer Servadou), Duras, Prunelart and Jurançon Noir for the reds. The vines are largely trained in the gobelet fashion meaning that they are head pruned and yields are kept exceedingly low; 40 hl\/h for the whites and 30hl\/h for the reds. A good proportion of the vines are more than fifty years old and the harvest is done entirely by hand. In addition to being certified organic the domain is a member of Nature et Progrès, an organization that certifies natural wine.

Adolphe Fresne, born in 1834, was the first in his family to set off on his own. At the age of 16, he decided to leave his parents’ home and seek employment as a vineyard worker in Ville-Dommange. This move became permanent when he married Olive Nachuret, a local girl from a long line of vigerons, and together they started a family.

Instead, he did a bachelor’s degree in English, then moved to England to pursue a career as a language teacher, including a year spent earning a teaching degree at Cambridge University. After three years abroad, though, he missed Champagne and decided to return home.

The appellation’s mandate is for white wine only, though a small amount of red wine is produced in the region and falls under the Bearn appellation. Historically, the wines of Jurançon were “moelleux”. Dry wines are a recent development, receiving a separate AOC in 1975 and requiring the word “sec” to be added on the label in conjunction with the name Jurançon. At present, Jurançon has approximately 60 producers of estate bottled wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Marc Grussaute and his mother, Jany, own a small but remarkable vineyard situated in the Chapelle de Rousse area of Jurançon.

In the 1970’s Jean Marc’s father, Jean, one of the region’s pioneers in re-establishing the wines of Jurancon, planted 4 hectares of vines along their terraced hillside. In 1983, Jean Grussaute passed away pre-maturely and Jean-Marc’s mother held together the estate until Jean-Marc arrived in 1988 at the age of 20 having just received his diploma from Bordeaux. Together, Jean-Marc and his mother have transformed their remote hillside vineyard into a world renowned wine estate. The vineyard, much of it planted by Jean-Marc’s father 50 years ago, is terraced and lies on steep and curved slopes that form an amphitheater. It is south facing with an amazing view of some of the highest peaks in the Pyrénées. The vineyard is planted to 65% Petit Manseng and 27% Gros Manseng and 8% Petit Courbu\/Camarelet. Jean-Marc Grussaute began estate bottling in 1988 and in the years since, he has evolved both as a farmer and as a wine maker. He has farmed organically since 2007 with the first certified vintage being 2010. He also farms according to bio-dynamic principles and is certified by Demeter.
