Culture respectueuse de l'environnement

Gela Patalishvili est la 8ème génération de vignerons, dans la région de Kakheti, au sud du Caucase. John Wurdeman est un peintre américain installé en Géorgie depuis 1998.

Leur amitié et leur passion commune pour le vin les conduisent à créer Pheasant’s Tears en 2007. La Géorgie est le berceau de la viticulture mondiale, plus de 500 cépages autochtones y sont cultivés!

Gela et John veulent préserver ce patrimoine. Ils en cultivent aujourd’hui, une dizaine de cépages en sans pesticides ni herbicides, vinifient la totalité en "qvevri", amphore traditionnelle (enterrée) de vinification et d’élevage. Rouges comme blancs sont produits en macération de 3 semaines à 6 mois. Avec ces vins, nous n’avons aucune référence gustative connue, ils nous transportent ailleurs !

D'aucuns auront remarqué le changement radical du contenant (bouteilles et étiquettes). La révolution est aussi dans le contenu. Les macérations sont beaucoup plus courtes qu'auparavant, et les maturités moins poussées.

Ce Chkhaveri à 10 % d'alcool en est le meilleur exemple, allant à l'opposé des rouges anciennement produits par le domaine.

Dégustation : la robe très clair est entre le vermillon et le tuilé, faisant penser à un poulsard à l'ancienne. Le nez frais et expressif est dominé par le cerise et le noyau, avec une touche d'écorce d'orange séchée. La bouche est ronde, ample, enveloppante, avec une matière souple, finement pulpeuse, gagnant progressivement en densité. La finale est plus ferme, tout en gardant un côté frais et acidulé et une grande digestibilité, mêlant la griotte à l'orange amère.

What is an author wine?

These 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.

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.

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.
