Posse and Maisonneuve
From an immense requirement and precursors in their holistic living vision, Catherine and Matthieu, from their installation in 1999, chose to plant their own mass selections, and to work entirely in biodynamics their very first plot of 2.5 hectares . Since then, the vineyard has grown, but their commitment has not decreased. On the contrary. The whole field is worked according to the precepts of biodynamics, with also the presence of animals in the vineyards (no less than five horses participate in the life of the domain), a low -yield policy, everything is vinified by hand And in plot, without any mechanical action then in cellar: native yeasts, slow fermentations, sweet extractions, long farming in barrels ... On arrival, wines on delicacy, balanced and silky.
What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
