It’s very true: here, the soil is clay-limestone, there is good exposure for the ripening of the Pinot Noir grapes and the slopes are very steep. The finesse combined with the roundness and vinosity of the wines that are produced here is characteristic of the region. This is in contrast to the Pinot Noirs of the left bank which are more robust, full bodied but also sometimes \"heavier,\" adds Jack Chaput. The wines of the Côte des Bars are indeed increasingly sought after in both France and abroad. There is undoubtedly a micro-climate associated with a micro-terroir. \"When I arrived, 60% of our champagnes were sold to mass-market retailers,” continues Jack Chaput.\nToday, this market represents only 20%.

Some 4.55 hectares (11.2 acres) of this area was used for the white wines in 2007.

For white wines, both Chardonnay and Pinot blanc are allowed, but most wines are likely to be 100% Chardonnay. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliter per hectare of red wine and 45 for white wine.

The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Nuits-Saint-Georges may be used for red and white wine with respectively Pinot noir and Chardonnay as the main grape variety. The name of the appellation is sometimes written simply as Nuits, without the Saint-Georges part. The word \"Nuits\" has nothing to do with \"nighttime\" but comes from the Latin for walnuts, Nutium. The production of red wine dominates greatly, with around 97 per cent, and only around three per cent white wine. There are no Grand Cru vineyards within Nuits-Saint-Georges.\n\nIn 2008 there were 306.33 hectares (757.0 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Nuits-Saint-Georges wine at village and Premier Cru level, and 12,031 hectoliter of wine was produced, of which 11,703 hectoliter red wine and 328 hectoliter white wine. Some 7.03 hectares (17.4 acres) of this area was used for the white wines in 2007. The total amount produced corresponds to just over 1.6 million bottles, of which just over 1.55 million bottles of red wine and a little over 40,000 bottles of white wine.\n\nThe AOC regulations allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines, but this not very often practiced. For white wines, both Chardonnay and Pinot blanc are allowed, but most wines are likely to be 100% Chardonnay. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliter per hectare of red wine and 45 for white wine. The grapes must reach a maturity of at least 10.5 per cent potential alcohol for village-level red wine, 11.0 per cent for village-level white wine and Premier Cru red wine, and 11.5 per cent for Premier Cru white wine.\n\nThe Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy has been named after Nuits-Saint-Georges, which is the subregion's largest town, and which used to play an important role in the trading of these wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Producer Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine of Faiveley is situated in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France.

Because of the size of the AOC and the variability of these climats, it is the rule rather than the exception that the name of the climat is indicated together with that of the Corton AOC, leading to designations such as Corton Clos du Roi and Corton Les Bressandes.

At the end of the 19th century, his grandson Albert Bichot took the family business into a new direction and created the winery, Maison Albert Bichot as we know it. The family heritage has been perpetuated since then. Albert Bichot has acquired 250 acres of vineyards in the most reputed growing areas throughout Burgundy. The family crest, consisting of a deer and antlers, has been synonymous with the winery since its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52609444675951,"sku":"14734","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/14734-albert-bichot-corton-des-marechaudes-domaine-du-pavillon_1.jpg?v=1789157012"},{"product_id":"tarlant-rose-zero-brut-nature-nv-750ml","title":"Tarlant Rose Zero Brut Nature 750ML","description":"\u003ch4\u003eTarlant Description\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1687, Pierre Tarlant began cultivating his first vineyards in Aisne. At the turn of the 20th century, Louis Tarlant took over as head vigneron. His tenure would prove instrumental to shaping the family legacy, principally due to his involvement as mayor of Oeuilly in the rarely discussed Champagne Revolution, a tumultous movement that you have probably never heard of. Let us explain. By the early twentieth century, it had become increasingly common for the big Champagne houses, who even then had a strong-hold on commercialisation, to bring in fruit from all over France and even different countries (the farthest being Portugal!) to vinify and sell the wine as Champagne. When this became common knowledge amongst growers in the region, many were infuriated that such practices could be happening right under their noses. Through rigorous organisation, many villages managed to block off the points of entry of outside fruit, as well as skillfully organizing themselves to codify the Champagne region. As a result, Louis helped achieve worldwide recognition of the AOC in 1911 and contributed to the establishment of the AOC Champagne region in 1927. In the aftermath of these events, Louis swore never to sell a single grape to the big houses again, making Tarlant one of the first independent estates in the region (less than 10 existed at the time). Fast forward to today, and head vigneron Beno?t Tarlant is the 12th generation working the land under his family name. Beno?t is the real deal: his great understanding and respect of history, tradition and nature, coupled with his experimental, forward thinking tendencies have been the driving force of some truly next level, terroir-centric Champagnes. With his sister M?lanie joining the family business in 2003, things are more than ever a family affair. The estate consists of 14 hectares of vines within 31 lieu-dits of Pinot Noir (50%), Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Meunier (20%), along with small amounts of Champagne's \"forgotten\"grapes\" - Pinot Blanc, Arbane and Petit Meslier. From empirical observation, Beno?t and M?lanie have singled out 63 parcels that they vinify individually each vintage, permitting unparalled precision in blending decisions for base and reserve wines, but also letting them highlight single vineyard expressions of their land. In the vines, chemicals are never used and biodiversity is prioritized. Because of the Marne's extremely diverse terroirs, Benoit adapts his viticultural approach parcel by parcel, using the soil, grape and micro-climate to guide him. While only contact treatments have been used for the past two generations, Beno?t and M?lanie have decided to work towards organic certification. \"Our father fought for grass in the vines and to stop have garbage from cities being thrown in the vines as a fertilizer. It took five years. That was his fight. Organics seems like the challenge of our generation.\" In the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed and racked by gravity to Burgundian barrels, where each parcel ferments and ages individually. Malolactic fermentation almost never occurs but is not blocked: Beno?t feels that through careful pressing, attention to temperature and the correct viticultural practices, Champagne's naturally cold climate gives them grapes with low PH and high acidity, a combo that does not incite malo. Sulfites are are only added in microscopic doses at press and intermittently to casks of reserve wine. The wines are never filtered: \"?Disgorgment is sort of like a filtration. If you?re going to take the time to do long ?levages and letting the solids deposit themselves, you don?t need to filter. It requires a respect of the rhythm of the wine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTarlant \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e France \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Champagne \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Champagne Blend \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e14759\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Unk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52609445822831,"sku":"14759","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.grapesthewineco.com\/collections\/france.oembed","provider":"Grapes The Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
