Alphonse WINES

For nearly a century, Gour de Chaulé has embodied the soul of Gigondas. A family estate where tradition, old vines and meticulous hand‑work shape wines of depth, purity and southern Rhône character. Today, the domaine is led by the fourth generation, continuing a style rooted in whole‑cluster Grenache, minimal intervention and absolute respect for the terroir. Our small allocation has just arrived. Due to exceptionally high demand, it will be available only for a short time.

Chagnoleau delivers Côte‑de‑Beaune finesse at Mâconnais pricing, making him one of the strongest value propositions in Burgundy today.

It’s already the third vintage we receive from Frantz Chagnoleau, and it almost feels as if his wines have been with us for years.
His style integrates so naturally into our portfolio that each new release arrives like a continuation of a story we already know, one of precision, purity and limestone clarity.

Chagnoleau began his path in Burgundy working alongside some of the region’s most respected domaines before founding his own estate with Caroline Gon.
From the beginning, his vision was unmistakable: biodynamic farming, low yields, and Chardonnay shaped by tension rather than weight.

Over time, this philosophy has made him one of the most distinctive voices of the southern Mâconnais.

His wines share a signature of fresh citrus, cool orchard fruit, chalk, salinity and absolute precision.
A style that feels closer to Côte de Beaune purity than to classic Mâconnais roundness.

Mâcon‑Villages “Clos Saint‑Pancras” 2024 bright, linear, pure limestone tension
Viré‑Clessé “Les Raspillères” 2024 deeper fruit, saline, elegant
Saint‑Véran “De Prise à Chasselas” 2024 crisp, mineral, vibrant
Saint‑Véran “La Fournaise” 2024 warm‑slope energy, subtle smoke, long finish
Saint‑Véran “À La Côte” 2024 cool‑climate tension, chalky, focused
Saint‑Véran “Montchanin” 2024 high‑altitude precision, tight structure
Saint‑Véran “La Roche” 2024 razor‑sharp, the most mineral of the domaine
Pouilly‑Fuissé “Pastoral” 2024 structured, elegant, Vergisson limestone power
Crémant de Bourgogne “Staccato” LIV.2024 fine bubbles, bright acidity, chalky finesse

Together, they form one of the most coherent and terroir‑driven Chardonnay collections in the Mâconnais.

Crissante La Morra is a small, family‑run estate rooted in the quiet slopes of La Morra, working with a style defined by precision, clean fruit, and refined tannins.

The winemaker focuses on minimal extraction, long fermentations, and gentle handling, letting each vintage speak without forcing weight or oak.
In today’s Barolo landscape, where some producers chase power, Crissante stands out for clarity, balance and terroir‑first authenticity.

Crissante’s place in the Barolo market is defined by quiet consistency: no showmanship, no excess, just honest wines that reflect La Morra’s natural elegance.

Update online: PIERRE‑OLIVIER GARCIA
Understanding the Slopes, the Style, and the Differences Between 2021, 2022 & 2023
Pierre‑Olivier Garcia works with a micro‑cuvée philosophy: whole‑cluster fermentation, long infusion, native yeasts, and a precision‑driven,
almost surgical approach to extraction. Across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.

From Hautes‑Côtes de Nuits La Montagne to Corton Grand Cru. The wines express slope, soil, altitude and vintage with striking clarity.

2021 — Cool, Tense, Ultra‑Precise
A year defined by frost, low yields, and long ripening.

2022 — Ripe, Silky, Harmonious
A warm, generous vintage with perfect phenolic maturity and beautiful balance.

2023 — Fresh, Floral, High‑Definition
A return to freshness and aromatic lift, but with more generosity than 2021.


THE SLOPES & TERROIRS
Hautes‑Côtes de Nuits — High Altitude, Pure & Mineral
La Montagne sits high above the Côte, giving:
Bright red fruit
Floral aromatics
Cool, chalky tension
Light, elegant structure
A perfect introduction to Garcia’s style.

Nuits‑Saint‑Georges 1er Crus — Northern Elegance, Vosne‑Adjacent Precision
Aux Bousselots
Aux Argillas
These are Garcia’s most finessed and aromatic NSG expressions.

Aloxe‑Corton 1er Cru Les Valozières — Power & Iron
At the foot of the Corton hill. Character
More muscular than Beaune, more structured than NSG.

Corton Grand Cru — The Summit of Structure & Mineral Depth
Les Maréchaudes
Lower slope, iron‑rich.
Baie‑par‑Baie
A micro‑cuvée with hand‑selected berries.
These are Garcia’s most powerful yet refined wines.
