France - Savoy and Jura

Aviet is a true classic and one of the last, perhaps even the last, legendary Jura addresses still in the family. Today, it is Vincent who has learned from his father Lucien – from the best – and who takes care of the old vines with devotion. Trousseau is the trump card at Aviet, producing wines that are perfect for those of us who don't care about what's on the label, who are only interested in the contents. And the name Aviet, on the bottle, is second to none, whether in terms of entertainment, digestibility or quality. The Poulsard from this address is also not to be scoffed at. Pure terroir, at the highest level! Terroir is KING!

Wow, now that's a family story. In 1794, the Pigniers bought the domain from the Carthusian monks "L'Ordre des Chartreux" and are now the last wine-growing estate in Montaigu. It is not just the old, beautiful vaulted cellar that impresses us, no, it is the pioneering spirit of the Pigniers, which is difficult to put into words. They have been cultivating their vineyards biodynamically since the 1990s - today they even have the coveted "Demeter" label on their label. But it is not so much about progress for them, no, it is more about respect for the land they live on, which they cultivate, for the plants they cultivate and for the wines they press, all in harmony with Mother Nature. Their incomparable efforts in the vineyard are the basis for wines that are rarely - if ever - found, not just in the Jura, but anywhere. The terroir and the grape variety are the sole focus of the wines, which are brought to the bottle in a clear, even pure way, in order to entertain us unadorned with unusual, even unexpected combinations of always clean, pure aromas and different textures at the highest level
