BENJAMIN TAILLANDIER de Nieuwe MARCEL LAPIERRE uit MINERVOIS

Nieuw in ons assortiment
Benjamin Taillandier is ongetwijfeld goed op weg om de Marcel Lapierre van de Minervois te worden. Zijn Cuvée LAGUZELLE heeft de finesse en fraîcheur van de grote Minervois wijnen van weleer.

2017 Loire - what's left of it 

Vintage 2017
In Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine Jonathan Pabiot are hoping to lose no more than 40% of their Sauvignon Blanc this year, after losing 60% in 2016. They have now bought three anti-frost fans in collaboration with other local estates to try to mitigate any similar losses in forthcoming vintages. Having carefully planned their sales pattern for a reduced 2016 vintage, they are now worried about running out of wine.

Nearby, Domaine Didier Dagueneau lost as much as 75% of their fruit to frost, and will not be making any Buisson Renard in 2017.
