Champagne Bonnet-Ponson, “Seconde Nature” Rosé de Macération

Cyril Bonnet’s “Seconde Nature” Rosé de Macération is 100% Pinot Noir from three mature, southeast-facing Premier Cru parcels in his home village of Chamery. In the cellar, the organic Pinot cold macerates (“cold” as in cool temperature so a premature fermentation doesn’t begin) for 36 hours before a gentle press. The deeply red-hued juice is then transferred into used French barrels for a natural fermentation and extended aging. It is then moved into bottle for two years before disgorgement without adding sulfites or dosage. Those 36 hours of skin contact results in a deep, brooding, sanguine-colored wine spilling into your glass. Loaded with vinous notes of bitter cherry, rose, spicy plum, rhubarb, and green strawberry, it’s a powerful, broad, and vinous rosé that’s not for the faint of heart. Lovers of Georges Laval will fall in love.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
