About the Winery

After working a stint with Leon Barral in the Languedoc, 21 year old Jonathan Pabiot returned to his family domaine in Pouilly-Fumé with a passion for organic viticulture and strong ideas for the future. Jonathan's father Didier–a 4th generation vigneron in Les Loges–was not easily persuaded of this new, natural path forward but he nevertheless gave Jonathan 1.5 hectares of vines that were planted by his grandfather. Jonathan found an additional 1.5 hectares to rent (vines he later purchased) and immediately converted all three hectares to organic viticulture. From these vines, he crafted the much sought-after, high-end cuvées of Prédeliction and Aubaine. This fine debut created early whispers that Jonathan was among those who would push the limits of quality in Pouilly-Fumé, much like the late, great Didier Dagueneau had done several decades earlier.  

It took only 6 months for Didier Pabiot to see the results of his son's organic approach in the vineyards. He decided to follow Jonathon's lead and began organic conversion of his 17 hectares of vines. The father-son duo joined forces and in 2010, with all 20 combined hectares now in full organic certification. The Pabiot vineyards are truly remarkable, and are among the most lively soils and vibrant, healthy plantings one will ever see. Jonathan and Didier are one of only three organic growers out of 120 domaines in Pouilly-Fumé. While many of their friends and neighbors are plagued by disease in their vineyards, Pabiot's vines remain healthy and equipped to resist the many threats present in such an inhospitable growing climate. At present, they are now transitioning to biodynamics and feel the regular influence of these preparations are further strengthening the vines the overall health of their dynamic terroirs.

About the Wine

Located within the Pouilly-Fume appellation in the Loire, the grapes for this Pouilly Fumè come from Certified Organic vines averaging 30 years in age, and are planted very densely at 10,000 vines per hectare. Outside of Burgundy and a few select locations, this density is quite rare in the wine world. Planted on a mélange of hand-plowed soils including Kimmeridgian Marl, Chalky Portlandian, Silex Clay, and Flint. Harvested by hand, Jonathan debuds in the springtime to increase quality and concentration of remaining buds. He passes with his tractor three to five times annually and then allows grass to grow between rows at the end of summer as harvest approaches. After harvest, the grapes are carefully hand-sorted followed by a slow fermentation at low temperatures for ten days using indigenous yeasts. Afterword which, the wine is aged on its lees for five months in stainless steel before racking. This resulting wine is remarkably vibrant, fine and long. Jonathan Pabiot is a quiet force and his expressive, transparent Pouily-Fumés are turning heads in France and beyond.

About the Winery 

The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for more than a century and a half, first as farmers running the Manescotto estate in the village of La Morra for the marchesa Giulia Colbert Faletti di Barolo, and then on their own property since 1881. The Mascarello family property extends over 15 hectares of vineyards, all located within the Barolo wine-growing area. Some, like the MONPRIVATO vineyard, can now be said to be a part of the family history, while the grapes grown on others were first purchased by 4th generation Mauro before–having had the opportunity to ascertain their quality–he managed to buy the vineyards for the estate. The grapes from each single vineyard are vinified separately, a procedure that allows for the making of wines of the highest quality and with their own particular properties, varying from vineyard to vineyard. The name of the vineyard and the village where it is located are given on the label of each wine.

 

About the Wine

With vines perched on Santo Stefano hill in the village of Monforte d’Alba, the grapes are harvested in the beginning of October, then vinified traditionally followed by ageing in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels for around 6-8 months. When poured, expect garnet red hues with purplish highlights to shine through the glass. On the nose anticipate intense, fruity aromas of ripe grapes. The wine has an impressively round mouthfeel with well-balanced tannins and beautiful structure. Perfect to accompany Hors d'oeuvres as well as entrees of red meats.
