HOW WE GOT HERE

U.S. Importers & Distributors ask us to manage their import logistics from France and Italy on their behalf to avoid unnecessary delays and to reduce the cost of shipping.

Since 2018, we’ve created a temperature-controlled supply chain between the U.S., France, and Italy. We disrupted the market by being one of the first 100% cold chain distributors of craft beer in Europe.

Many other craft beer distributors have since followed our lead and now rely on temperature-controlled transport, warehousing, and delivery to ensure the freshness of their beverages.

Building off our experience, we designed a unique temperature-controlled supply chain from France and Italy to the U.S. that allows us to ship by the pallet, more frequently, with faster transit times, and at a lower shipping cost.

Vinification in steel tanks for part of the harvest, the remainder was vinified in new oak barrels. Only 1,800 bottles of this wine were produced.

Tasting notes

This grape variety is astonishing. It must be delicately pressed, the must must be left to settle patiently, then vinified gently. And we obtain a brilliant white wine with scents of citrus fruits (yuzu, lemon), white fruits (pear, peach) and star anise. The palate is lively in its richness and rich in its liveliness. It is said that it is in the simplest wines that we see the talent of the winemaker. BINGO!

Tasting notes

This vintage, year after year, is characterized by balance, harder to obtain for a concentrated wine.  One is immediately reassured by the deep purple hue color. The aromas have been slowly but inexorably developing since leaving the aging cellar: Burlat cherry, violet, blackcurrant jam, ink and even Mirabelle plum and mango. Powerful, muscular tannins.
