Picpoul
Filter
Picpoul, or Piquepoul, is a variety of white wine grape that is grown in France, mostly in the Languedoc region or in the Rhone Valley. This grape variety has several types—Piquepoul noir, the dark-skinnned variety and the light skinned type, Piquepoul blanc. Another type, Piquepoul gris, also exists, although it is not widely planted. Piquepoul blanc is the most planted type of the grape variety and it is grown more in France. This variety buds late in the year and has been a popular grape variety in the region. Picpoul wine was first thought to be poison, but after a well-known visitor drank a glass and labeled it safe, the myth was debunked. It was believed that the variety was initially mixed with Clairette. The grapes are high in acidity. Picpoul grapes tend to produce a low yield and are sensitive to diseases, such as oidium. In France, Piquepoul blanc is typically blended or is created into varietal wines. Both the blanc and noir types of the variety are used for Chateanuneuf-du-Pape. The grape variety creates wines that are known for their signature mineral taste, fresh citrus flavor, and high acidity. Picpoul wine pairs well with seafood dishes such as oysters, grilled fish, shrimp or crustaceans.

Winemaking
100% single block Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 20 months in 100% new French oak.
Place
This beautiful block sits on the lower section of the Red Mountain side of the vineyard. Featuring a perfect southwest aspect, it gets the maximum sun exposure for depth and concentration. The land itself is wind-blown loess covering an alluvial floodplain, dotted with indigenous sage.
Winemaker's Notes
Explosively and exotically nuanced aromas of crème de cassis, Himalayan blackberry, black roses, dried violets, pencil shavings, crushed volcanic rock, and liquefied river minerals. While extremely dense and concentrated, this wine has a lot of grace and poise on the palate. The finish of inky deep black fruits, richly refined oak tones, and exotic floral notes, is utterly bewitching. Leave it for 5-7 years if you can or decant well before drinking. This is a 30-year wine in the making.
Review:
Lastly, and a wine that stopped me in my tracks, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 47 might be the wine of the vintage. Revealing a dense purple hue as well as incredible aromatics of caramelized red and blue fruits, classy oak, lead pencil shavings, and a Latour-like sense of minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a great, great finish. I love its balance and purity, but I suspect it’s going to demand bottle age.

Bertrand Bachelet Chassange Montrachet Blanc is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
The Chassagne-Montrachet appellation is located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune and produces mainly white wines. The vineyard faces east, with varied soil types, characterized by the presence of iron oxide, which gives a red-brown color to the soil.
Bertrand Bachelet Chassagne-Montrachet is produced from two villages, La Canière and Les Lombardes.
The wine offers a golden color, a soft, floral nose with spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is ample and harmonious, combining freshness and tension.
Pairs well with fish (especially salmon) or white meat in sauce (poultry, veal).
