It is a site for Garnacha like no other in Spain, significantly cooler than anything found in Gredos or Navarra. The Garnacha is fermented with 70% whole clusters that are foot trodden and then layered on top of de-stemmed grapes that are meticulously uncrushed. The maceration is approximately 35 days and matured in used tight grained 500L French and Austrian Oak for 20 months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCS]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40519767359523,"sku":"SF-GCS--071524-20","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Dominio-del-Challao-Rioja-Garnacha-2020-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1723848703"},{"product_id":"domaine-michel-gros-bourgogne-hautes-cotes-de-nuits-blanc-fontaine-saint-martin-2022","title":"Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc Fontaine Saint Martin 2022","description":"From a 3.25 ha parcel of 20+ year old vines, this hillside vineyard composed of \"Pernand marls\" is perfectly suited to producing complex, mineral-driven Chardonnay.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Chambers \u0026 Chambers [CAC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40550013534243,"sku":"SF-4-CAC--081624-33","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Domaine-Michel-Gros-Bourgogne-Hautes-Cotes-de-Nuits-Blanc-Fontaine-Saint-Martin-2022-White-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1724539845"},{"product_id":"domaine-michel-gros-bourgogne-hautes-cotes-de-nuits-rouge-saint-martin-2022-750ml","title":"Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge Saint Martin 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the producer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArea : 4 ha\u003cbr\u003eAverage Age of the Vines : 35 years old\u003cbr\u003eAverage Annual Production : 14 000 bottles\u003cbr\u003eGrape Variety : Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocalisation :\u003cbr\u003eIt took more than 40 years for Jean Gros, and then Michel to put back together the unique parcel of Fontaine Saint Martin in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, around the village of Arcenant.\u003cbr\u003eThis hillside slope of 7 hectares, facing east-south-east like the Côte de Nuits, rises in tiers at an elevation between 350 and 390m. The vineyard overlooks the small valley and the Cistercian abbey of Lieu-Dieu des Champs. This abbey for nuns, founded about 1127, owned vines on this hillside.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the total destruction of the vineyard by phylloxera at the end of the XIXth century, the parcel of vines was largely overgrown by the forest.\u003cbr\u003eJean, then Michel, undertook clearing and reclaiming the parcel from 1976. Michel planted 4 hectares in Pinot Noir between 1981 and 1986, then the remaining 3 hectares in Chardonnay from 1987. These plantings were completed with the last parcel of 1 ha, acquired in 2007 before replanting in 2009.\u003cbr\u003eThe soil is made up of mixed limestone and marls from the Upper Oxfordian (Jurassic) Period. This geological stage is to be found again on the Hill of Corton situated 5 km to the south. This soil structure is commonly called “Marls of Pernand”, from the name of the village of Pernand Vergelesses, located at the foot of the Hill of Corton.\u003cbr\u003eMichel has always vinified and aged these different parcels of Hautes-Côtes separately, with the final blending only taking place shortly before bottling. In this way, he has been able to measure over almost 30 vintages the interest and originality of this wine from the Fontaine Saint Martin.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the reason, added to the successful completion of the work of reunifying and replanting the parcel, that convinced him to highlight the individuality of this cuvée Monopole, starting from the 2014 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chambers \u0026 Chambers [CAC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40671360221219,"sku":"SF-4-CAC--120624-29","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Domaine-Michel-Gros-Bourgogne-Hautes-Cotes-de-Nuits-Rouge-Saint-Martin-2022-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1734023476"}],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/december-11-2024.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
