🍇The 50 SHADES OF GAMAY BOX is here! In the slipstream of this year’s locked-down Beaujolais Nouveau celebrations, a special mixed case for true Gamay lovers. We’ve got ’em in all shapes and flavours, ranging from pure untamed glou to profound and near-Burgundian delicacy: 🍓1. Amandine & Quentin‘s hot-off-the-press Orléans Gamay ‘Plan Cuve’ 2020. Raw, juicy, crunchy to the max. 🍓2. Alexis Hudon‘s now-famous ‘Groseille’ 2019, a deep but vibrant infusion of regular Gamay and its more feral cousin Gamay de Bouze (and an elegant touch of Loire Pinot Noir). 🍓3. Christophe Pacalet‘s lean mean high-altitude Chiroubles 2018, a delicious tango between tart berry fruit and pure granitic grit. 🍓4. Carine Joubert‘s lasertight but deep-flavoured old-vine Fleurie 2018, raw unsulphured goodness from a domain primarily known for meaty Brouilly. 🍓5. Philippe Pacalet‘s Burgundian interpretation of Chénas 2016, a wine so richly layered yet ethereal that it defies physics. You’ll want to smell and map out the countless shades of spice, fruit and flowers inside the bottle, but won’t come close to succeeding before it’s empty. 🍓6. Fabien Duperray‘s equally Burgundian interpretation of Morgon 2014, but somehow the inverse of Pacalet’s: thunderously structured, deep, smoky, earthy, bloody juice to pair with a firm gamey cooking. 🔥Grab it through the webshop, limited number of boxes available. #chaiamandineetquentin #javoyetfils #alexishudon #christophepacalet #domainejoubert #marceljoubert #philippepacalet #julesdesjourneys #fabienduperray #beaujolais #gamay #loirewine #naturalwine #vinnature #biodynamie #realwine

🔥Bourgogne Blanc ‘Les Chenes’ 2019, Domaine Tripoz. Man were we all flabbergasted last night by the concentration, nerve, precision and sheer deliciousness of Céline and Laurent’s humbly presented whites. ❄️Together with their rare but insanely well-priced Aligoté, this Bourgogne Blanc has the most distinctly ‘natural’ feel to it (although all Tripoz’s wines are additive-free save for just a touch of sulphur, if any). Not ‘funky’ at all, but completely open and free-floating juice radiant with creamy yellow fruit and an almost-glacial mineral edge. 🌿Sourced from a small plot of 70 year-old Chardonnay vines that have been farmed organically since 1970, ‘Les Chenes’ is vinified in oak barrels where it rests for 10 months until bottling. Like all of the Tripoz wines that came in it is young but completely ready to drink. Be quick ‘cause ‘Les Chenes’ is one of the Domain’s rarest bottlings.

Sure-fire hit alert! This unsulphured Crémant de Bourgogne is a going to be a BIIIIG crowdpleaser these coming weeks. Dancing gracefully on the cusp of sweetness while still providing the necessary crunch and a delicious cushiony mousse, it’s no surprise that Tripoz’s sparkler is a pillar of quality-conscious bistrot wine lists across France. Gorgeous stuff. #tripozappreciationpostnumber2

🔥Amidst all the Bojo hype, here’s a little preview of a GORGEOUS new Bourgogne Rouge that will appear on our shelves this week. 🍇They’ll soon get the appropriate big intro, but we’re very proud to have received our first shipment of beautiful biodynamic Maconnais wines by CELINE & LAURENT TRIPOZ! 🍷This ‘Chant de la Tour’ 2019 is a humble but profoundly pleasing low-sulphur Pinot Noir that comes dangerously close to being the platonic ideal of digestible red Burgundy. Without further aging or decanting it hits all the right notes: deep, spherical, almost-sweet cherry fruit; a yeasty crunch that’s fully integrated rather obscuring; and delicious tension between palate-tingling vertical and driving linear acidity. ⚡️This, together with some unsulphured Aligoté-based Crémant and a host of Maconnais whites, will hit our stores come end of the week!

⛰There we go, Chabrol’s first foray into the Jura region! Super proud to introduce the traditional but internationally ambitious Domaine Fumey-Chatelain in the Netherlands! Beautifully pure and precise wines made on the cutting edge of tradition and contemporary ideas, for almost endearingly sympathetic prices in this day and age. We went deep and stocked pretty much their entire range, so we all can get a good sense of what @marin_fumey and family are up to! 🍇Fumey-Chatelain is a domain with about 17 hectares of organically tended vineyard in the Arbois appellation. This small family business was founded in the late eighties by Raphaël Fumey (cousin of Stéphane Tissot and Frédéric Lornet) and his wife Adeline Chatelain, initially just to grow grapes to sell to negociants. 🍇Fast-forward 30 years and Fumey-Chatelain is a respected but internationally still under-the-radar domain, spearheaded by the young and energetic scion Marin. He’s been combining winemaking duties at home with internships abroad since 2015 (including at Crystallum in South Africa and Burn Cottage in New Zealand), ensuring that in the cellar, tradition and modern experimentation blend together to great effect. 🍇All the domain’s wines are vinified naturally, with wild yeasts and no additives. Some of them get an old-fashioned elevage on old oak, possibly ”sous voile”, but they also like to work with 100% aging in the tank. Almost all cuvées are bottled unfined and unfiltered. 🍷Jump to the Webshop or one of our Amsterdam stores to check out the 10 different cuvées we’re so proud to stock! #fumeychatelain #marinfumey #jura #jurawine #organicwine #biodynamie #savagnin #chardonnay #ploussard #trousseau #pinotnoir #vinjaune #sousvoile #stephanetissot #crystallum #burncottage #spinifex #realwine

Wow! This ‘Gibraltar’ by Jean-Philippe Padié is a truly radiant expression of ancient vine Grenache from Calce, Roussillon. A gentle infusion of whole bunches (no punching or pumping), it is mouth-filling and saline but barely tannic, explosively fruity but profoundly linear and focused. . 🍷The word ‘Glou’ comes to mind as I down my first glass but its concentration, precision and length demand way more respect. The 2019 is a blast right now, curious to see how it will wrap delicate layers of earth and spice around its sour cherry core in the years ahead. . 🍇Vinification: Grenache from very old vines on marly soils, biodynamically farmed and harvested by hand. Two-week maceration/infusion of whole bunches (no punching down or pumping over), natural fermentation without additives in concrete tanks. Aged for 8 months in old barrels, plus a final month in steel tank. No sulphur until bottling, and just a touch.

We’re hosting Paul Breton in Amsterdam this whole week! Unfortunately this isn’t the time for grand tastings and in-store parties, but if you’re interested in a private presentation @jannekevanderleer might me able to arrange it! 🍷Also, we’re extending last month’s full-range Breton promotion ‘till half november, when we will send out our BIG December newsletter. 🍇Today Paul brought some delicious barrel samples of new vintages and experiments, including these forays into featherweight Pinot Noir and macerated Chenin. 🍑Of the latter we tasted both his destemmed batch and Janneke’s whole-bunch version, which one do you guess was best?
