Cru Wine’s Post

Thanks for visiting MISA Colorado, Guillaume! Guillaume Gonnet wines showed wonderfully at tastings and market work throughout the Denver area. Guillaume produces wine that reflects his philosophy for winemaking - Minimal interference with the “terroir effect” by following biodynamic agricultural principles, ensuring the wine is balanced, soft with elegant tannins and very little wood influence. He has always been fascinated by the notion of “terroir”, most notably about how the Southern Rhône varieties express themselves in diverse terroir. The Robin on the label can often be found in their organically farmed vineyards and embodies all that drives the creation of these wines - dreams, liberty, and terroir. Tasting notes for Bel Ami Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2021: "Beautiful ripe cherry, cassis, ground pepper, and leather notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Bel Ami, a classic blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 15% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah that's brought up in a mix of foudre, demi-muid, and concrete tank. With medium-bodied richness, good mid-palate depth, and rock-solid structure, this terrific, balanced 2021 will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for 15 years. It's impressive, especially in the vintage."- Jeb Dunnuck, 91-93 points . #guillaumegonnetvigneron #organic #biodynamic #rhonewine #rhône #rhonevalley #terroir #chateaunefdupape #côtesdurhône #cotesdurhone #wine #vino #vin #winelover #winelovers #winetime #wineoclock #enjoywine #instawine #winestagram

Beyond Tradition: Exploring the Art of Blended Vintages In the intricate world of wines, the annual harvest and the coveted designation of a "good vintage" have long been focal points, captivating newcomers and enthusiasts alike. Bordeaux wines, renowned as among the finest globally, are often celebrated for their exceptional vintages, with exceptions like the challenging 2013 vintage prompting a paradigm shift. This shift in perspective is giving rise to innovative thinking about blended vintages. What if a challenging year could be elevated by blending it with a stellar vintage, akin to the process of winemakers harmoniously blending different grape varieties to craft spectacular creations? This departure from the traditional emphasis on individual vintage quality opens new avenues for winemaking creativity and resilience. #mylinktowine #wine #blending #wineindustry #trends #vintages #innovation

How does cellar climate affect the barrel-aged wine? ‣‣‣ The barrels gradually transfer the aromatic and flavour components, making the wine richer and more complex. The cellar's climate fundamentally influences the characteristics of the barrel-aged wines.  Cooler temperatures and higher humidity can result in fresher and cleaner wines, while too high temperatures, for example, can accelerate the ageing process, which can cause the wine to age more quickly. That is why precise temperature and humidity control is important, not just choosing the right barrel.
