The color of Gammes en May, the label and the clear glass may lead one to think that this is not a serious wine but they would be wrong. There is a gregariousness to Thierry Michon who is prone to take up the accordion at a moment’s notice but there is nothing frivolous about Thierry or his wines.
The premier cru La Fussière is located in the town of Dezize-Les-Maranges, the Pinot Noir vines are expressed on stony white soils resting on blue marls. Bruno Colin's vines were planted in 1986 and are cultivated using sustainable cultivation with soil work and plowing.
Plum core, crimson rim with a glossy sheen. There is an otherworldly aromatic element that is hard to define, a natural result of two hemispheres united by one winemaking philosophy. The Arabian spice souk leads the charge: dark, savory spice blends – harissa, baharat, cloves, nutmeg, pimento, cinnamon, fennel, anise.
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was reduced by one-third due to the frost, unorthodox in that it affected the higher part of Etienne's vines. It has a slightly more rustic, almost obdurate nose than the previous two vintages, with touches of dried blood and something almost ferrous sutured into the red berry fruit.
A brilliant sake from Île Four, which means "four islands", a reference to to the four Japanese main islands of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and Hokkaido. Though there's only four ingredients, sake rice, water, yeast and a koji, this crisp bottling makes a brilliant aperitif, and works wonderfully alongside salty foods.
This dry red wine was produced from a blend of Merlot grapes grown in the Upper Galilee. After fermentation, the wine underwent extended skin contact before being transferred to French Oak barrels for a maturation period of 14 months.
