Pascal Marchand is a real character and a solid chap
to boot. He’s half a woodsman, half an old sea dog – a
true one indeed, as he was once, right after his teenage
years, in the Read More...
merchant navy. He is also undeniably a
woodsman, since he comes from Quebec, a country
of vast forests, but also because “bois”, the French for
“wood”, is the name given to the vine branches pruned
in winter – and Pascal is clearly a vine-caring man: he
showed his love for Burgundy’s vines when he moved
here, which was to be expected, considering his love
for wine, which, for him, is the vine’s first and foremost
offspring. How can a wine be good if the grapes used to
make it are not? Certainly not by following sheer chemical
methods. Wine must reflect the earth that has nourished
the vine-stocks. Just like man, wine must not forget its roots!
The 2010 Bourgogne is fantastic-- the nose leads with sweet cherry and tart pomegranate balanced with light spice and earth. The palate keeps with the same fruit flavors, a balanced chiaroscuro mouthful that, while definitely pretty, is surmounted by great acidity and bolstered with rich viscosity to make quite a complete, tasty Bourgogne.

the apples and the grapes are growing by themselves and where the soil does not need to be ploughed. A place where the Sages go to retire. This unusual Burgundy Pinot Noir is a blend of wines from several different appellations and vineyards all of which are more than 35 years old.(Côte de Nuits-Village, Savigny-lés-Beaune, Pernand Vergelesses and Chorey les Beaune.) The ‘cuvées’ for this blend have been very carefully selected; firstly from winemakers that Pascal has known for a long time and whose wines he likes and secondly with reference to the site of the vineyards and the age of the vines. The wines are chosen, aged and blended to produce a pure expression of Pinot Noir in relation to the vintage. Once blended, ‘Avalon’ is aged in barrels but without any new wood. Bottling after 24 months of aging. All the aging operations are carried out according to the lunar calendar.

The Dutton Ranch’s™ Widdoes vineyard is located between the towns of Graton and Occidental in the Russian River Valley appellation. The cool temperate growing conditions allow the grapes from this 18 year-old, vertical trained, dry farmed vineyard (meaning the vines see no water outside of rain) to ripen slowly and evenly. At this vineyard the Beringer clone Pinot Noir is planted which consistently produces a wine of finesse and balance.
The Widdoes Pinot Noir has a bright medium dark red color. Aromas of blueberries, raspberries, violets, forest floor, and the signature cherry cola lead you into the clean and crisp palate with a minerality that is layered by lavender and clove flavors.

Terry Bering is the cellarmaster for Rochioli Vineyards. When he isn't busting his hump helping out the Rochioli family produce fantastic wines, Terry works on his own Pinot Noir Project! Read More...
Terry makes flavorful, aromatic, and wonderfully nuanced wines that do justice to his Rochioli vineyard source.
In 2011 the crop yields were small, and the weather was cold. Many other producers produced the same yields and were greeted with diluted wines. But since Terry kept the yields small, those grape clusters were able to fully mature, and the resulting is a thing of beauty! The 2011 vintage has a PH of 3.55 (perfect). Full of dark fruit with a touch of cranberry on the finish, it is framed with a subtle tannin structure. All point to a wine that should age very well; only 300 cases were produced!
