Château de Bonnezeaux: A reborn wine estate with a rich history Located in the picturesque Loire Valley, Château de Bonnezeaux has a history that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally famous for its sweet wines, the estate fell into disrepair in the 1980s and the vineyards were neglected for more than three decades. In 2012, the family decided to breathe new life into the estate and appointed their cousin, Guyonne Saclier de la Bâtie, as the head of this ambitious project. Guyonne, inspired by her internships with renowned winemakers such as Mark Angeli and Stéphane Bernaudeau, committed herself to restoring the vineyards and chose to produce dry Chenin Blanc wines, a departure from the traditional sweet wines of the region. After years of intensive work, she released her first vintage in 2016, which immediately stood out for its quality and craftsmanship. In 2019, Guyonne passed the baton to the young duo Léa Meslet and Pierre Boisseaux. With a shared passion for viticulture and a commitment to biodynamic practices, they have further expanded the estate and planted new plots. Their approach includes the use of traditional vertical champagne presses and long aging in wooden barrels, resulting in wines with deep minerality and refined complexity.  Today, Château de Bonnezeaux covers approximately nine hectares of vineyards. Despite the challenges of the past, the estate has established itself as a producer of high-quality dry Chenin Blanc wines, reflecting both the rich history and the innovative future of Loire viticulture and became one of the most sought-after wineries of Loire. The limited production is almost never for sale online. Château de Bonnezeaux works entirely organically and with minimal intervention to preserve the pure expression of the terroir. No chemical pesticides are used in the vineyard, and the soil is worked by hand and with the help of horses to promote biodiversity. The grapes are hand-harvested and strictly selected to vinify only the best fruit. In the cellar, fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control, allowing for a natural and complex development of the wine. Additions are kept to an absolute minimum: no fining, no filtering, and only a small amount of sulfites at bottling, ensuring that the wines remain pure, vibrant, and authentic.

Started in 2017 by Naima and David Didon, Domaine Didon in Chassey-le-Camp in the Cote Chalonnaise. This village is located in the AOC Bouzeron, which we know from Aligote! But in addition to their flawless Aligote's, they also make beautiful Chardonnay and various styles of Pinot noir. Sometimes from their own domain, completely biodynamic and sometimes as negoce, buying grapes from a friendly winemaking family in Alsace.Their own vineyard Vignes Blanches is only 2 hectares and is full of Chardonnay, Pinot noir, blanc and Aligote on limestone and is known as one of the best terroirs in the village. They only work this vineyard by hand and occasionally by horse, so no heavy machines are used to not put too much strain on the soil. In the cellar they process their wines as minimally as possible, the wines are matured in amphora, fiberglass or oak and all mature sur lie, after which they are bottled with no or as little sulfite as possible. Great and flawless wines that are only available in very limited editions. A must try.

From carefully caring for the vines throughout the year to harvesting at the perfect time, every step is a labor of love. Whether it is pressing grapes by foot , monitoring the fermentation or the final steps of bottling, labeling and waxing, each process is carried out with care and passion. The joy we find in winemaking is reflected in every bottle, and the positive feedback from wine lovers about the the whole world is our greatest reward. Our philosophy is simple: we produce natural wine that is stable, flawless, drinkable and enjoyable. If we don't love it, it won't leave our basement." NABOSO currently manages approximately 5 hectares of vineyards just outside Svätý Jur. The vineyards lie on a granite subsoil with rich, sandy soils, all facing south to south-east. This unique terroir contributes to the distinctive character of the wines. The winery is housed in a historic 17th-century building on the main street of the picturesque town of Svätý Jur, just 10 minutes from Bratislava.  The labels are works of art, created in collaboration with Galleri Kalhoj in Copenhagen. Every year, Dorthe Kalhoj designs unique faces for the bottles, turning them into storage objects. NABOSO wines:

Francesco PozzobonNizza Monferrato, Asti, Piedmont, Italy Tenuta Foresto is located in the hills of Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of Asti (Piemonte), Italy. Francesco Pozzobon started realizing his dream here in the winter of 2016/17: setting up a vineyard and producing wine. He has taken over a semi-abandoned farm with vineyard that has not been intensively cultivated for years. A perfect condition for what he had in mind, surrounded by forest so that the chemicals used in adjacent conventional vineyards do not transfer to his vines. Francesco's aim is to influence the natural ecosystem as little as possible. By listening to the seasons, he has regained the productivity of the land to give their vines a fertile place. Their wine cellar is a well-insulated and semi-underground cellar where seasonal temperatures are followed without burdening the wine.The grapes are placed in wooden or cement tanks of 35-50 hl and spontaneous fermentation takes place with skin contact. The maturation is for about 12 months in oak barrels - without filtration, no fining of any kind and without any addition of sulphites. The wine is then bottled and further aged for approximately 3 months in the bottle. Francesco mainly produces local grapes: Barbera, Moscato, Cortese and Dolcetto. The vines are between 10 and 70 years old on limestone soils with some clay and chalk mixed in - a typical terroir for the Nizza Monferrato area. Their goal is to create wines that are an honest expression of the terroir. Below you will find the enthusiastic, deep and complex wines of Tenuta Foresto:FavonioLeutoPaupauAcruLa ideale
