Revue Vigneron issue n°49 (summer 2022)

INTERVIEW: COMOR-HERRERO-RAVIER Two great winemakers from Provence, a legend of Toulon rugby, three wine and sharing lovers, aesthetes in their field, thinkers of their art. Cross passes and tasting. CHÂTEAU GRUAUD LAROSE Highly sought after by wine lovers worldwide for its distinctly Saint-Julien style and accessible price, the "king of wines" has once again reached a new level of quality with the 2018 vintage. We'll tell you why. FRÉDÉRIC SAVART His bubbles are in demand in about forty countries. This child of the ball who saw himself in the spotlight at Stade de Reims has become one of the leading figures of the new generation of Champagne winemakers. TABLE: LA VILLA MADIE This is the new three-star of the 2022 red guide: La Villa Madie is nestled in a cove caressed by the sea and the vineyards of Cassis. Chef Dimitri Droisneau and sommelier David Piquet orchestrate remarkable food and wine pairings there. LOÏC DUGAT In Gevrey-Chambertin, the forty-something, "heir" of a long line of winemakers, has shaken things up at Domaine Dugat-Py and elevated his wines among the best of the Côte de Nuits. DOMAINE ROLLY GASSMANN A true polyphony plays out in the great cellar of Pierre Gassmann in Rorschwihr. The winemaker with encyclopedic knowledge, deeply in love with his Alsatian land, evokes for us this unparalleled diversity. BORDEAUX, A WINE REVOLUTION CHAPTER 2: THE RIGHT BANK In the undulating landscapes of Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and their satellites, environmental awareness is accelerating a sound ecological transition. Respecting heritage, passing on a living place, adopting a set of actions, practices: indeed, Bordeaux is now one of the most active vineyards on this front. After the Left Bank in our previous issue, here is an overview of the Right Bank through about forty châteaux.
