The wine region of Côtes de Toul
Lorraine AOC between Toul and the Meuse (~75 ha, vineyard sung by Ausonius in 350 AD), semi-continental cool climate, clay-limestone hillsides. Vin gris signature speciality: pale rosé blending Gamay (<=85%) and Pinot Noir (>=10%) by direct pressing — fresh and fruity with raspberry, redcurrant, citrus and floral touch, lively thirst-quenching finish. Ample Auxerrois in white and airy Pinot Noir in light red. Revived Lorraine identity, everyday wine.
The wine region of Moselle
World benchmark for cool-climate German Riesling, on vertiginous blue and grey slate slopes. Pure, precise whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked chalky minerality ("gunflint"), low alcohol (~8-10%), taut acidity and crystalline tension. From dry Kabinett to sweet Auslese, up to luscious Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. Also Müller-Thurgau and Elbling.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
