In 1984 Didier decided he would pursue a organic/biodynamic approach which was not a popular idea at the time in Burgundy. Because of this there was no help from his family, and he started off on his own leasing just half a hectare of vines (just over one acre). It was a slow process. He acquired another 6 acres (2.5 hectares) in ’89 and officially released his first vintage for sale in 1990. Didier has continued to grow with the utmost concern for the land, adding two larger plots to his Domaine from the communes of Bouze-les-Beaune and Nantoux. With one glance at the vineyards it is easy to see that Didier follows a different path with more than half of his vines planted in the ‘Y’ shaped, Lyre trellis system. Didier believes there to be many benefits for this method including better circulation for the grapes preventing disease, better exposure for the soil to plant grasses and cereals increasing biodiversity, and the added benefit of the grapes growing higher off the ground, making it easier for the workers to pick standing up. Even the organic fertilizer (manure) is all produced on the property from their livestock minimizing the carbon footprint of the winery. This commitment to high standards in the vineyard is expressed in each bottle released from Domaine Didier Montchovet.\r\n\r\nArguably the greatest wine region on earth, Burgundy is known to produce the best expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This level of excellence is a tradition, largely unbroken, dating back to the Cluny monks established in burgundy in 909 AD. Much of the knowledge and approach to fine winemaking can be traced back to its roots here. At Domaine Montchovet we find pure expressions of the terroir and character of the Côte de Baune continuing the evolution and quality of this great wine region.","logo_url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.sevenfifty.com/producers_supplier_company_profiles/logos/medium/2807/logo.png?1599833595","profile_url":"/b/didier-montchovet"},{"name":"Domaine Boris Champy","description":"In 1984 a young visionary Didier Montchovet decided he would farm organically - therefore, his father gave him nothing to farm.

Now considered a benchmark in Burgundy for organic production, Didier has influenced a generation and has now handed over the stewardship of his vines to Boris Champy - former estate manager for Clos des Lambrays.

Immersed in both the farming and winemaking from a very young age, Christophe seeks to express emotion in his wines. To accomplish this, he is not afraid to experiment, leading by example alongside his team in the vineyards, with rigor and precision to all tasks great and small. At Cordier they know that a great quality wine always starts with outstanding fruit. For this reason, they focus on organic and biodynamic farming practices, and drastically reducing yields.\r\n\r\nThis evolution has continued in the winery: A state-of-the-art gravity fed system was finished in 2012. Combining a traditional style with the best of technology, each of the tiny plots, numbering around 100, are hand-picked and hand-sorted. The juice is vinified with indigenous yeast and aged extendedly with the fine lees (dead yeast cells) in barrels, toasted in-house, and selected from only the best, finely textured French oak from the most prestigious forests.

When Gérard and Laurence married, both families had vineyards on different soil types from different villages. It was their vision to retain the individuality of these two locations and make distinct wines labeled under the original family domaines instead of combining them. \r\n\r\nMaleco falls within the venue of Domaine Vinet. \r\n\r\nDOMAINE DE LA QUILLA It all started in the village of La Haye-Fouassière, just after World War II when Gustave Vinet begin farming 4 hectares called Domaine de la Quilla. Step by step, this property has evolved with Gustave’s son, Gerard, taking over the growing 8-hectare estate in 1981. Today, with the help of his brother and wife Laurence, this property represents the largest holding of the Vinet family at 30 hectares strong (74 acres).\r\n\r\nDOMAINE SAINT-MARTIN Laurence joined forces with her husband in 1990, and with her came the family property in Château Thébaud, which dates to 1930. Domaine Saint-Martin is a special property of only 9 hectares and the wines are still being made in the same, proven, generations old techniques. The wine is held for at least a year until they have settled and are ready to sell. Laurence takes the lead in making this wine the “old-fashioned” way.\r\n\r\nThe faimly’s domaines span more than 60 years of Loire Valley history. Beginning in 1948, Gustave Vinet acquired the family’s first holdings, Domaine de la Quilla in the village of La Haye-Fouassière, just nine miles from the Atlantic coast. Today his son Gérard and his wife Laurence farm the diverse terroirs of the appellation, spread among the Cru villages of La Haye Fouassière and Château-Thébaud. The Vinet family take their vocation seriously, farming and studying the various soil types of the appellation and then translating them into distinctive wines with extended lees contact. The fact that Gérard has recently been appointed as president of both the Muscadet appellation and the entire Loire Valley shows his standing among his peers, and the standard of quality he upholds in the vineyards and in the winery.\r\n\r\nThe Muscadet region is just nine miles from the Atlantic ocean in the Loire valley, just south of the city of Nantes. We are currently in an exciting time for the Muscadet region. There are ten Crus that have recently been recognized for their superior quality and age-worthy wines. The Vinet family vineyards are found within two of these Crus, La Haye-Fouassière and Château-Thébaud in the heart of the Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Appellation. The appellation gets its name from the two rivers that connect here just before the ocean in the far western corner of the Loire valley. The grape, Melon de Bourgogne, is used to make energetic wines that gain weight and texture through extended lees contact (lees are the dead yeast cells that accumulate after fermentation) and the wines are referred to as Muscadet. The Vinet family makes three distinctively different wines from the same grape grown on different soils throughout these two communes. They are marked by extended lees contact with the wines from Clos de la Houssaie, remaining on the lees for 2 years before bottling.","logo_url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.sevenfifty.com/producers_supplier_company_profiles/logos/medium/2809/Logo_DomainesVinet_-_noir.png?1599834909","profile_url":"/b/domaines-vinet"},{"name":"Domaine Thomas \u0026 Fils","description":"The Thomas family has been growing grapes and making wine in Sancerre since 1670.

Tillage maintains the balance and allows better microbial activity and also a better infiltration of the water. The use of natural elements in the conduct allows the fauna and flora to develop in harmony. Plowing forces the vines to root more deeply and will thus look for “terroir” which is best expressed in grapes and wines. These treatments favor the development of indigenous yeasts, key to the aromas and typicality of the wine, unlike the use of foreign yeasts that guide the aromas and end up standardizing the wines.”\r\n\r\n“The aim of the biodynamic winemaker, through its vine culture, is to produce a high quality wine and, above all, a real pleasure to drink.”","logo_url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.sevenfifty.com/producers_supplier_company_profiles/logos/medium/2810/Thomas_des_Fils_logo.png?1599835498","profile_url":"/b/domaine-thomas-fils"},{"name":"Françoise Roumieux","description":"Françoise Roumieux is the 5th generation of winemakers at the prestigious Mayard family estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Giuseppe (Pino to his friends) has carved out his dream from these rolling foothills just north of the tiny farming community of Riotorto.\r\n\r\nHe grew up on his father’s Sicilian winery, left home at 18 and ultimately landed in Holland, where he opened seven restaurants.

Giuseppe had found an ideal footing for Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

The Brunello vineyards grow on a broad terrace, worked by the ancient Etruscans, that faces south towards Monte Amiata and west towards the valleys of the Maremma. Roman settlements rose on the hill that dominates the estate, and in the Middle Ages the fields probably belonged to estates dating back to the 12th Century.

Valentina and her partner, Giancarlo, personally see to every stage of production from the organically farmed vineyards to vinification and bottling. In the hills of Castagnole Monferrato, just outside the town of Asti, the Ruchè grape receives noble DOCG status. From calcareous-tuffaceous soils, this unique and expressive grape is one of the most exciting varieties making a comeback in Piedmont region today. Ruchè is an aromatic red variety more complex than Lacrima or Brachetto and expresses strong and exotic aromas of raspberries, red flowers, and spice. Locally it was a wine reserved for special occasions, and thanks to the DOCG status granted in 2010, we are seeing a renaissance of complex, beautiful wines made with Ruchè.\r\n\r\nRuchè is a rare, indigenous grape found in the hills outside the town of Asti in the Piedmont region. The DOC was established in 1987 and was later granted DOCG status in 2010. The DOCG zone includes only 7 communes with less than 100 hectares (240 acres) under vine in 2015.

For wine drinkers with a passion for wines of the Veneto, it is fortunate that winemaker Luca Fedrigo possessed that vision.\r\n\r\nL’Arco is the result of that life-changing decision.\r\n\r\nTo fully appreciate Luca’s story, you must first get to know legendary Amarone maker Giuseppe Quintarelli, who offered Luca an apprenticeship that ultimately evolved into more of a father and son relationship.\r\n\r\nFor Luca, a fiery and passionate Ducati racer and madly in love with Quintarelli’s grand-daughter, the position meant Luca must learn patience, passion for the wine and embrace what some would consider Quintarelli’s eccentric style of winemaking. True to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” Luca was raised very differently than the agrarian lifestyle of the Quintarelli clan. As Luca began helping in the family vegetable garden, trust began to develop between the two men. Quintarelli was seeking a successor true to his personal winemaking philosophy. Quintarelli saw Luca as pure, a blank slate upon which to etch his knowledge.\r\n\r\nFor more than a decade, the two men worked alongside one another in the vineyards and the cellar where Quintarelli passed on his vast knowledge of winemaking techniques, emphasized the importance of the region’s traditional techniques, and taught Luca respect for Valpolicella zone’s indigenous varietals. Long days often turned even longer when Quintarelli would direct Luca to stay late nights in the cellar, “to be with the wine.”\r\n\r\nLuca, at age 20, founded L’Arco in 1998 on 17 acres that are just a short walk from the renowned Quintarelli estate. The vineyard rests in the most traditional of the seven Valpolicella zones, Negrar, which has roots as deep as pre-historic times. Today, it is known as a rich agricultural commune 68 miles west of Venice.

The winery’s name reflects their philosophy towards winemaking: getting down and dirty with a fearless, hands-on approach from bud-break to bottling. Jeff and Alejandro have worked together for over 25 years. \r\n\r\nThe story begins at the famous Bodega Catena Zapata where Alejandro Sejanovich and Jeff Mausbach worked for many years together. Jeff is an American born sommelier who eventually became the Director for Wine Education and the ambassador for the Zapata wines. Alejandro Sejanovich is a viticulturist who is now considered one of the most knowledgeable experts on the terroir of South America today. In 2010, they teamed up with two additional winemakers to create an all-star team in pursuing authentic terroir driven wines. Both additional winemakers, originally from New Zealand, have extensive international experience. Jason Mabbett was a professor of winemaking at Auckland University, he has made wine in Australia, California, and in Argentina. Duncan Killiner has made wine in Israel, Uruguay, Italy, and Chile. This “super group” of experienced professionals have not lost sight of a minimal-interventionist approach allowing nature to craft these remarkable wines. Eager for new challenges, they bought an old-vine finca in Paraje Altamira, and in 2009 Alejandro planted his own 7 hectare vineyard. These two properties became the backbone of the new Manos Negras project.  \r\n\r\nAlejandro has been lauded by many publications for his pioneering work over the years. \r\nHe pioneered high-altitude vineyard planting with the Zapata family when he planted the highest altitude vineyards in Mendoza at 5,000 feet above sea level. He was also integral in conducting groundbreaking research on specific Mendoza Malbec clones. After a degree in Agricultural engineering, he went to Montpellier in France to further his wine studies. In 1993, Sejanovich returned to Argentina full of energy and progressive ideas. In 1994, he was hired at Catena Zapata to explore the terroir and soils of Argentina as well as rejuvenate the way the wine was being made at the Catena. Known as El Colorado for his red hair, he was born and raised in Mendoza and grew up surrounded by vineyards that his father had bought. The family owned a small vineyard and farm, but they were not a winemaking family. Alejandro knew from an early age that he was destined to become a winemaker. \r\n\r\nReal winemakers get their hands dirty, hands black with soil and wine. That’s what Manos Negras is all about.

Georgia is a UNESCO heritage site considered to be the birthplace of wine production. This winemaking history in the Kakheti region is home to the oldest known winemaking artifacts dating back to over 8,000 years.\r\n\r\nNamed after nine majestic oak trees standing tall on their family-owned estate in the town of Eniseli, Nine Oaks Estate uses only organically grown estate fruit to craft natural wines made from spontaneous fermenting native yeast, without the use of chemicals or added sulfites. The winemaker, Mamuka Khurtsidze, is an environmentalist and geographer who has dedicated his life to preserving Georgia heritage for the past 40 years. In 2011, indigenous grapes were planted on the 20-hectare estate and in 2017 the traditional ‘Qvevri’ were added to the winery for the aging purposes. These large traditional clay vessels, Qvevri, (2-ton and 2.5-ton capacities) are made by hand with clay and then buried underground to provide a stable temperature for aging both the red and amber wines. Most of the wine is aged in steel tanks. Georgia is the birth place for the “orange” or amber wine style, which is gaining in popularity throughout the world. It was Italian producers from Friuli visiting Georgia and utilizing these techniques which really sparked interest in this authentic style. The other half of this exciting new project is Anna Addison, an art director and designer who specializes in wine and spirit brands and is based out of Amsterdam. She is integral in closing the gap between this relatively undiscovered region of the world and the adventurous wine consumer.

Perhaps the best voice for this story is Stefano himself: “Our family has always lived here, ever since my forebears began to work on our land. As a child I observed and absorbed the natural cycle of the seasons, month after month, year after year. About 15 years ago, I got invited to my first wine tasting, following which I began to take interest in winemaking, to understand wine and to meet industry experts. My family’s passion for farming grew inside me until it became something more than mere curiosity and turned into determination… the determination finally to produce my own family wine.”\r\n\r\n“I’ve never been a great wine drinker, but I do drink the great wines made in our area. My family and I enlarged the original estate and planted younger vines, which are now ripe for picking.”\r\n\r\n“In 2012 we set up Tenuta Maccan and in these few, short years we have achieved excellent results in terms of product quality and service efficiency. Over the next few years we want to expand our business in order to achieve even greater customer satisfaction.

Today, the soil is rich in dolomitic limestone and, in particular, contains fossils and minerals. The vines thrive in this rich environment and transfer those remarkable, natural characteristics into every grape.\r\n\r\nThe soil’s high limestone content means it is perfect for making white wines that are lively, light and fresh on the palate.
