Fortunately, it remains in good hands: new proprietor Eric Santier has instituted a program of sod replacement aimed at gradually getting the vineyards back to natural tilling. Cab Franc for the Domaine’s Chinon rouge comes from the Saut au Loup vineyard on the left bank of the AOC, planted on a mix of clay-limestone and yellow tufa soils. The grapes are cold macerated and the wines bottled the following spring to retain a vibrant, fruity profile — a quaffable and quintessential bistro wine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=“60”][/vc_column][/vc_row][mk_page_section vertical_align=“center” full_width=“true” js_vertical_centered=“true” padding_top=“0” padding_bottom=“0” sidebar=“sidebar‑1”][vc_column width=“1/2”][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=“false”][vc_column_inner][mk_image src=“http://grapestoglasspgh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/gtg-logo-placeholder.jpg” image_size=“large” frame_style=“single_line” margin_bottom=“0” visibility=“visible-sm” animation=“fade-in”][mk_fancy_title color=“#652d90” size=“26” line_height=“50” txt_transform=“uppercase” letter_spacing=“1” margin_bottom=“0” font_family=“none” el_class=“port-title”]Château Flotis[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title tag_name=“h4” color=”#da1c5c” size=“16” font_weight=“500” font_style=“italic” txt_transform=“none” letter_spacing=“1” margin_top=“10” margin_bottom=“0” font_family=“none”]Sudouest[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520217275328{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Situated in the heart of the Fronton AOC, Château Flotis enjoys some of the highest elevations and most complex soils (silt, gravel, and the acidic sandy-clay known locally as boulbenes) in the appellation.

At Maison Ughetto-Audoin, that duty falls to Lionel Audoin, professor of philosophy at the nearby Lycée Carpentras. With his friend Eric Ughetto, he founded their eponymous Maison in 2010. Together, they source field-selected, organic grapes from both the northern and southern Rhône and use minimalist techniques in the cellar, including native yeast fermentations, to achieve wines that are lively and complex, with a hint of rusticity —wines that reward the sort of deep thoughts and earnest reflection that went into making them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=“60”][/vc_column][/vc_row][mk_page_section vertical_align=“center” full_width=“true” js_vertical_centered=“true” padding_top=“0” padding_bottom=“0” sidebar=“sidebar‑1”][vc_column width=“1/2”][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=“false”][vc_column_inner][mk_image src=“http://grapestoglasspgh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/gtg-logo-placeholder.jpg” image_size=“large” frame_style=“single_line” margin_bottom=“0” visibility=“visible-sm” animation=“fade-in”][mk_fancy_title color=“#652d90” size=“26” line_height=“50” txt_transform=“uppercase” letter_spacing=“1” margin_bottom=“0” font_family=“none” el_class=“port-title”]Cellier de la Baraterie[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title tag_name=“h4” color=”#da1c5c” size=“16” font_weight=“500” font_style=“italic” txt_transform=“none” letter_spacing=“1” margin_top=“10” margin_bottom=“0” font_family=“none”]Savoie[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1520218079430{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The Savoie region is virtually unknown outside France, even though it is famous for fantastic skiing and the Mont Blanc mountain.
