Domaine Gérard Julien is located in Comblachien, just south of Nuits Saint Georges and dates back to the late 19th century. As Gérard continued to purchase more holdings in the 70’s and 80’s, he was able to grow the estate to roughly 10 hectares with parcels distributed in Nuits Villages, Nuits Saint Georges, and Echézeaux Grand Cru.
Étienne Julien, son of Gérard, assumed control of the estate in 2012 as winemaker. Being the fifth generation of the estate, he is introducing new methods to his winemaking while keeping the vision in line with previous generations, including organic viticulture. These wines exude another level of liveliness and energy.

From Allen Meadows Burghound: ‘Discreet wood frames aromas of dark currant liqueur, newly turned earth and a whiff of forest floor. The medium-bodied flavors possess a slightly finer texture along with good vibrancy thanks to the bright acidity that supports the moderately austere, firm and balanced finale. This could usea few years of cellaring first.’

In France, Crémant is the term used for sparkling wines made in the same method as Champagne but from outside of the actual Champagne region. The Rosier family left their native Champagne area, moved to Limoux and began making wine in January of 1982, full of hope and energy after purchasing a vineyard property in the village of Villelongue d’Aude. They began by restructuring the vineyard and took out all the old red Aramon vines to make way for Chardonnay, Chenin, Mauzac and Pinot Noir. Their first ‘cuvée’ was created in 1983, a scant production of 600 bottles. The following year 6000 bottles were produced under the ‘appellation’ Blanquette de Limoux. In 1985, they outgrew the space in Villelongue and moved to Limoux to larger premises and were able to increase production, thanks for the most part to our expansion into the American market. They now produce 650,000 bottles of Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux in a specially designed, ultra-modern ‘Chai’ (wine production plant and storehouse) and have established a presence outside France in sixteen countries around the world.
This Cremant is made from a combination of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Pinot Noir. Pairs with seafood, grilled or breaded calamari, and more.

This beauty from the husband-and-wife team of Didier and Catherine Champalou is a winner. Floral on the nose, dry and clean as a whistle on the palate, this 100% Chenin Blanc sparkler is less austere and less effervescent than Champagne, but every bit as fun to drink and it's very versatile with food.

Germany's answer to Champagne, and such fantastic quality, especially considering the price! "This is lovely stylish fizz, what one would hope for (though not expect) from sparkling Riesling: class, clarity, finesse, the opposite of coarseness or brashness; this is really demure and graceful and pretty," according to Terry Theise, skurnik.com.
