The AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages spreads over 95 communes in the Southern Rhône, of which 21 commune names can be used on the label.

Séguret is one of the 21. It is situated at the foot of the “Dentelles de Montmirail” in the French Department of the Vaucluse. Built into a hillside, it is one of France’s most beautiful listed villages.

Domaine Eyguestre is nestled in the heights of Séguret. It is an amazing 20 ha family owned vineyard certified High Environmental Value ( HEV ), where the world of the vine is a passion. In Provençal Eyguestre means “the water that remains”, a revealing name for this terroir composed of blue clays that are filled with water for the vines. Four generations have proudly worked this soil since 1919. Laurent Bellion took over the running of the domain in 2000 and have since been in charge delivering himself in his wines (whites, reds and rosés ) which are the reflection of his character, for which he has been rewarded by receiving many recognitions.

The vineyard is surrounded by 300 olive trees, he makes his own olive oil that you can taste after having a very nice wine tasting.

The wine #inmyglass, Domaine Eyguestre, Le Maupas 2018 is made of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah and reflects the freshness given by the presence of “ eyguestre “ in the soil, a wine that can satisfy a lot of different palates, wine connoisseurs and neophytes alike.

There are 18 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs, or appellations) in Sonoma County. Each has a unique climate and geography and directly correlates to the wine #inyourglass .

Dry Creek Valley, one of the 18 AVAs , is a unique blend of soil, geography and climate, ideally situated for winegrapes, similar to Bordeaux region in France.

Dry Creek Vineyard was established in 1972 by David S. Stare, becoming the first new winery in the Dry Creek Valley after Prohibition.

As a lover of French wines, and inspired by his trips to the Loire Valley, it made sense to him to plant Sauvignon Blanc. That was the first Sauvignon Blanc planted in Dry Creek Valley and he was also the first to label a wine as Fumé Blanc in Sonoma County. He is among California’s first proponents of Bordeaux-style blending. The descriptor “Meritage” on the label to classify his Bordeaux style blend was first released by him in his 1985 vintage.

Sustainability has been part of their farming and business practice since 1995. All the grapes come from single organic vineyards

The wine #inmyglass come from hill side vineyards, terraced vineyards (1100 ft) with high iron content in the soil. It is a blend of all five traditional Bordeaux varieties, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon 83%, Merlot 9%, Malbec 4% Cabernet Franc 2%, Petit Verdot 2%, aged in small new oak barrels for 18 months. It is made with a little bit lower style alcohol than other wineries, with a little bit more grace, balance and finesse, the finesse, which David Stare says is lacking in California wines. They want to put a little more of French style and finesse #inyourglass 🍷

The four satellite appellations of Saint-Emilion : Montagne, Lussac, Puisseguin, and Saint-Georges had the right to affix the name of Saint-Emilion to their names in 1921.

The vineyards of Puisseguin-Saint Emilion are located in front of the Saint-Emilion plateau. It is planted mainly with Merlot, followed by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon on soils composed of clay and limestone resting on a stone base, a perfect combination to produce fleshy, full bodied wines, often of good aging.

The wine #inmyglass is a blend of Merlot 70% , Cabernet Sauvignon 20% and Cabernet Franc 10% , very well made by “Les Vignerons de Puisseguin Lussac Saint-Emilion” , passionate cooperators and lovers of their land who pool their financial and technical capacity but above all share strong values of respect and rigour.

Sangiovese origins are mysterious.

Being a natural cross of Ciliegiolo and Calabrese di Montenuovo, it could be native to Calabria.

Tuscany, where Sangiovese was first mentioned in 1600, can be considered its home region.

It is there where its most classic red wines: Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino express the full potential of this marvelous grape 🍇

Montalcino is a beautiful medieval town in Tuscany, where in the late 1800s the iconic red wine Brunello di Montalcino was created by the Biondi Santi family, becoming one of the great red wines in the world.

Luce della Vitte is a second important brand owned by the Frescobaldi family in Montalcino which is also the owner of Castelgiocondo.

Luce della Vitte Brunello di Montalcino is one of the three wines produced by the Luce estate.

The wine #inmyglass, is the number four of Luce Brunello, the first vintage was 2003. The grapes come from a single vineyard in a amazing place which used to be an olive orchard.

2006 was an amazing vintage in Montalcino, with the right amount of rain, the right amount of sun, the right temperatures and so the grapes were on the vines for a longtime.

Lamberto Frescobaldi says this is the best Sangiovese his family has done in 700 years.

This is one of the best Sangiovese ever. 💯 points #jamessuckling

An interesting story of “Soil and Soul”

Michel Rolland is a Bordeaux-based renowned French oenologist, considered to be the leader of modern winemakers. He is one of the most famous people in the world of wine advising more than 100 wineries in 13 countries and one of the first to bet on producing quality wines in Argentina.

He fell in love with that country, with malbec and saw the potential of Valle de Uco , in Mendoza when there was nothing there.

It was in Valle de Uco where the dream came true.

Rolland, together with other high-level French wine proprietors mostly from Bordeaux created Clos de los Siete, a vineyard of 850 ha planted with vines at the beginning of the 21st century.

It is composed of four wineries which work with the conviction that

great wines can only come from great vineyards. With that conviction in mind they take care of each bunch, they give the best of each one, the best of Monteviejo, the best of Cuvelier Los Andes, the best of Diamandes and the best of Rolland.

Clos de los Siete is the symbol of a shared dream.

The wine #inmyglass is a blend of 53% Malbec, 23%Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah and 4% Petit Verdot

Eiswein (ice wine) is a type of sweet wine that can only be produced in cold climates. It is made from grapes frozen on the vine, and pressed while still frozen, resulting in a higher concentration of sugar.

It was in Mosel, one of the thirteen wine regions of Germany, where, towards the end of the 18th century the winemakers were surprised by early frosts and forced to press frozen berries. In that way they accidentally discovered the winemaking process of this elixir.

There are two main categories of German wine: Table wine and “quality” wine. The latter is divided in :

Qualitätswein: quality wine from a specific region and Prädikatswein , which is the highest standard and must be produced from varieties authorized in one of the 13 wine regions. There are 6 designations of prädikatswein according to the level of sugar in the must: -Kabinett, the grapes have met the minimum standard of ripeness. -Spätlese (late harvest) -Aulese, made from very ripe hand-selected grapes. -Beerenauslese (BA), made from overripe grapes individually selected from bunches and often affected by noble rot, resulting in a rich sweet dessert wine. -Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA), made from selected overripe dried grapes, often affected by noble rot, resulting in extremely rich sweet wines.

Grapes at the (BA) and (TBA) level of sweetness, if they are not affected by botrytis, can be left in the vines until they freeze and then picked and pressed while they are frozen. The resulting wine is called EISWEIN

The wine #inmyglass was produced by Wilhelm Bergmann winery in Rheinhessen, the the largest of 13 German wine regions (Weinanbaugebiete) for quality wines ( QbA and Prädikatswein).

I enjoyed it on its own and was great‼️

L’Esprit de Chevalier

Here’s what was #inmyglass :

The Graves sub-region is located south of the city of Bordeaux. It includes the Pessac Leognan wine appellation. This region is 50 kilometres long and 15 kilometres wide. The Graves region has been a fertile wine-growing area since Roman times. It takes its name from the composition of its subsoil.
The red wines of Pessac-Léognan are distinguished by their bouquet, their velvety texture and their structure.
With a total surface area of 1610 ha, the Pessac-Léognan region produces more than 70,000 hectolitres, 80% of which is red.

Domaine de Chevalier is a Grand Cru Classé of Pessac-Léognan. It has 65 hectares under vine. For the red wine, 58 hectares are planted to 63% CabernetSauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc

In 1986, the planting of young vines led to the creation of both a red and white second wine called Esprit de Chevalier.

L’Esprit de Chevalier is a charming red wine with many of the same qualities as the grand vin and the added advantage that can be enjoyed earlier.

The wine #inmyglass is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot 🍷
