Boréal comes from his north-facing vineyards of Pinot Noir in the commune of Buxières-sur-Acre. These sites are far cooler than most vineyards farmed in the village, making precise and intensely mineral wines lashed with bright, crunchy berry flavors. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels before aging sur latte for 15 months, Les Semblables Boreal is disgorged and finished without any dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Beaune, Benoît Doussot arrived in Champagne in 2015 after a stint at Domaine Fichet in Meursault. Working at Vouette \u0026amp; Sorbée, he perceived that organic growers were selling their fruit to big houses and the local cooperatives for no premium, and he set out to change that. Today, Doussot works with some 12 hectares of vines, farmed by nine different vignerons, divided among 18 parcels. In sourcing, he's looking for the second terrace of Kimmeridgian limestone; and all his cuvées are derived from a single vintage, a single grape variety and this same terrace, differentiated by their different expositions. Vinification is in large 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, with comparatively long élevage of vins clairs on the lees; and tirage is with relatively low pressure, favoring a more vinous profile. These are high quality, elegant Champagnes with a Burgundian accent, with the more northerly facing sites delivering more chiseled wines and their southerly facing sites more plenitude\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037241397487,"sku":"8213","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/CLANDESTINE_20Boreal-LBL.png?v=1731311149"},{"product_id":"2019-banfi-brunello-poggio-alle-mura","title":"Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura 2019","description":"\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.38\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#313131\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#f6f5f5\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight:400\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style:normal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:none\"\u003eThe 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura smolders up from the glass with a dark blend of grilled herbs and ashen stones enshrouding crushed wild berries.

But after flowering, we had two or three bunches per bud! [Think of it like a pregnancy with twins or triplets.] When my team came back from holiday, two weeks before harvest, we did a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003esecond\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egreen harvest, cutting off green bunches, this time removing them completely rather than leaving them on the ground. But still we had 50 hl\/ha. I’ve never seen that. Teaching tells you that you can’t produce good wine at that quantity since you have dilution and less terroir impact. That is not something you see in the wine.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We started picking on September 9 until September 16. It was horrible for the team as we had to begin early in the morning and temperatures were high, so we would stop around 2:30 p.m. when it reached 36°C. When you cut bunches at those temperatures, the fermentation can start the following day and cold maceration is important. It was the most complicated sorting of my career. There were plenty of healthy bunches, not a lot of dry berries or mildew, but because of the high production I asked my team to only keep bunches with small berries. People thought I was crazy! Every cuvée is destemmed as analyses showed there was a low level of tartaric acid and I did not have a good feeling about using stems. It was easy to extract at lower temperatures. The maximum in 2023 was 25°C with less pigeage and remontage. I was afraid of higher alcohol this year and also more new oak, but I conserved more barrels in 2020 to keep the same ratio of new barrels. The wines have less concentration so that wood has more impact. It was an interesting vintage during vinification, and I felt you should not overwork the wines. They are all bottled in November.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46130914001135,"sku":"8586","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/2023-Henri-Magnien-Gevrey-Chambertin-1er-Cazetiers.png?v=1742086426"},{"product_id":"2023-henri-magnien-corton-grand-cru-les-grandes-loileres","title":"Henri Magnien Corton Grand Cru Les Grandes Loileres 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Corton Les Grandes Lolières Grand Cru, matured in 75% new oak, has quite a backward nose despite rigorous aeration. Still, I admire its precision and mineralité that only comes forth after a couple of minutes in the glass.
