C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Friday, August 14, 2015. Andert Rülander: a gorgeous orange wine.

Wine, naturally: September 2012

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Sunday, September 2, 2012. What on earth are enzymes? Certain aspects of winemaking - yeasts, oak-ageing, filtration and fining are pretty clear but what about the use of enzymes? Even the comprehensive Authentic Wine. By Jamie Goode and Sam Harrop only contains one paragraph on the subject. Two young winemakers Leah de Felice Renton and Nick Jones who are part of a wine collective called Birds and Bats Wine Productions. Enzymes can be f...

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Two natural wines from Fattoria La Vialla. It's been interesting to watch the progression in winemaking at Fattoria La Vialla. An organic Tuscan estate I visited four years ago. I went to cover the olive oil harvest but found they produced a wide range of products including pasta, pasta sauces and wine which even then was produced from biodynamically-run vineyards. If they're selling it. Photo by Jim Budd.

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Saturday, August 18, 2012. Le Raisin et L'Ange, Fable 2009. This is exactly the sort of red I like to drink in summer - well, to tell the truth most times of the year. We ordered it on our way back from France when we stopped another night at the Auberge de Chassignolles. From which we seem unable to keep away. He's based in St Maurice d'Ibie in the Ardèche just west of Montélimar. You can buy it in the UK from Gergovie Wines. It’s...

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Sunday, March 22, 2015. 9 natural wines I’ve enjoyed in Paris this week. It’s not often I spend a whole week drinking natural wine but I’ve been in Paris with my husband who drinks nothing else, given the chance. And we’ve been hanging out in restaurants and bars that have natural wine lists. X Bulles at Le Mary Celeste. Of the restaurant). N/A in the UK. GREEN TO AMBER. Le Temps d’Aimer Sorcellerie 2012 at Sauvage. 8232;I’ve enjoy...

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Why tasting notes can be unreliable. I had a bad start to a wine tasting a few days ago. The first eight to ten wines I tried - all red - tasted unforgiving and mean with unusually high acidity and edgy tannins. As the tasting was the Wine Society’s, whose wines I generally admire, I wondered whether the fault was mine, not theirs. It got me thinking about other factors that might affect the way you taste:.

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Jean-Pierre Robinot: the wild man of L’Angevin. I visited Jean-Pierre Robinot back in July 2013 at a time when I was struggling to keep up the blog so the account I wrote at the time never got posted. But looking back on it I think it captures something about the man and his wines worth recording so here it is. Better late than never, I guess. Unfortunately I lost most of my pictures of the domaine which runs ac...

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Mas Coutelou, Puimuisson: the extraordinary natural winemaker on our doorstep. It’s more than a little ironic that having chased round France - and further afield - seeking out natural winemakers I should find an exceptional one in the next door village to ours in the Languedoc: Jean Francois Coutelou of Mas Coutelou. Not least because we discovered him in London at the Real Wine Fair. Clearly a restless experime...

C'est la plante et non la chimie qui fait le vin." Thierry Germain. Sunday, May 27, 2012. What natural winelovers eat. Where to begin with Real and RAW wine fairs? Well, why not with the food which was outstanding and one of the things that distinguished the two fairs from every other wine tasting I’ve been to. Including London’s International Wine Fair this week where I had to get by on half a dried-out ham sandwich and a few crisps. With their excellent smoked salmon - were present at both. The Real Wi...
