Creme de Peche de Vigne au Gingembre

About the product

The vine peach is another distinctive feature of Burgundy's southern vineyards. It is a small, highly aromatic, white-fleshed peach with a purplish skin, often planted along the lanes leading to the vineyards. This hand-made liqueur is obtained by macerating and distilling Vissoux's organically-grown vine peaches in the finest alcohol, then adding a carefully controlled amount of sugar. Martine Chermette then adds an exotic, spicy touch by infusing the liqueur with fresh ginger root.

Creme De Cassis

About the product

This small-batch, organic cassis liqueur is drawn from estate-grown, Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants, only found in the Burgundy region and is much smaller and more intensely-flavoured.
It is made without preservatives or colouring and with only a small amount of sugar dissolved directly into the alcoholic juice of the blackcurrant berries at low temperature. Due to the intensity of the aromatics, the deep colour and concentrated flavour, you can serve this in very small quantities. Considered by some in France to be this country's finest example, if there is a better crème de cassis, we have not tasted it.

Domaine Plageoles

Gaillac Mauzac Nature Sparkling

About the product

Gaillac méthode ancestrale wines are the mother of pét-nats, and there is no better example than the Plageoles Mauzac Nature. Gaillac’s very long history of producing méthode ancestrale sparkling wines goes back to the 1500s (long before Champagne began producing sparkling wines). In fact, so synonymous was Gaillac with pét-nats, back in the day Méthode Gaillacoise was a widely used synonym for méthode ancestrale. The Plageoles example is from a 40-year-old parcel of the exceptionally rare Mauzac Rose grape variety.

In simple terms, the naturally fermented base wine is chilled to stop the fermentation when there is still 25-30 g/L residual sugar. The following spring, the wine is put into bottle and the fermentation continues under cork, producing the bubbles. There are no other additions and no need for dosage, as the bottle fermentation naturally stops when there is still a touch of residual sugar left in the wine.
