Domaine de la Pousse d’Or, Chambolle-Musigny

This 2020 is sourced from seven tiny parcels within Chambolle-Musigny, two of which are classified Premier Cru, with vine ages ranging from 30 to 60 years. Hand-harvested fruit is carefully de-stemmed and fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel, before being moved to French oak barriques (20% new) for 18 months. This is a spotless, sophisticated winery, but it is also one that embraces traditional, natural winemaking techniques: wines are moved by gravity only, bottled according to the phases of the moon, and treated with as little added sulfur as is possible. This wine exhibits crystalline clarity and beautiful Pinot Noir purity, and is poised to evolve beautifully for 10-15 years at a minimum; you know you’re experiencing greatness when you take your first sip!

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
