Raisins 2nd Edition Out Today!

This month we're exploring the stories of Éric Taillet and Françoise Roumieux. These two are unalike as individuals, but both are neoterics in their regions. Françoise (images 5-8), President of Femmes Vignes Rhone, “works to promote women's role within the traditionally masculine environment of wine by promoting cooperation as opposed to competition.” Éric (images 1-4), Founder of the Meunier Institute, dedicates himself to the promotion of Pinot Meunier by “discovering terroirs, exchanging production methods, and sharing vintages with as many people as possible.” Their leadership changes tastes, shepherds healthier farming, and makes winemaking better.

This edition contains:

If You Don't Work, You'll Get Nothing - The Phoenix that is Champagne Éric Taillet

American Passport or American Rootstock - An intimate interview with Françoise Roumieux that details her family's emergence from the phylloxera epidemic into ceaseless leadership in Châteauneuf-du-Pape

We are so excited to be working with the wines of Domaine Sérafin for the release of their 2021 vintage. Established in 1947 by Stanislaus Sérafin, a mason. It was his son, Christian, who started working the land and making the wine in 1968. For 20 years, Christian worked for his father until he took over the winery officially in 1988. Since 2001, Christian has slowly retired and left the domaine to the 3rd generation of Serafins, daughter Karine and niece Frédérique. The new winemakers remain loyal to the house style, with an emphasis here on very old vines and low yields. Two women, farming organically on magnificent terroir with perfectly selected small plots of old vines, making true Vin de Garde wines built to last, bucking the modern trend for light, pretty wines which can be consumed upon release. [ #1, Entering the cellars. #3, Their backyard aka 1er cru Cazetiers. #4, Their "clos" in Corbeaux. #5, Frédérique in the "Clos du Corbeaux". #6 Karine in the cellars]

Meunier is Eric’s self-proclaimed; “Life, passion, and reason for being a winegrower.” With old-vine Meunier, Eric is in the process of organic certification -- he actively modifies cultivation methods, the system of pruning, row spacing, and vine height in pursuit of the finest fruit. Eric established the Meunier Institute, and it is his old-vine cuttings that were selected to be cloned for local Champagne nurseries.

Spring rain in the vineyards of Less than one mile from the Slovenian border in Friuli. The estate is split between the Collio and the Insonzo regions but Mauro Mauri choses to label their wines as the later because of the deeper family ties to the Insonzo river valley.

New growth at Domaine Thomas & Fils in Verdigny. Julien Thomas never stops growing as a winemaker. In the vineyards he continues the challenging conversion to biodynamics, and in the cellar he has begun to vinify a portion of the harvest in clay amphorae. Two photos, one of the cover crops thriving in his organic vineyards from our visit in Sancerre and one of the new amphorae.
