The wine-growing season was particularly dry and warm, with a surplus of sunshine in the summer and a significant shortfall in rainfall. The early start to the harvest was a major feature of the vintage, as was the harvesting of the grapes, which lasted over a month. Extraction of the small berries was finely controlled to produce a magnificently fruity, fleshy, dense and immensely long wine, with rich, velvety tannins. Brane-Cantenac 2022 is also very fresh, thanks to the perfect balance between alcohol and pH. This is undoubtedly a legendary wine, like Brane-Cantenac 1946 and 1961.

At 6’5”, with a linebacker’s frame, he is soft-spoken, humble, and good-humored. Beneath Lionel’s modesty and affability, however, lies an intensity he brings to the job—and sport—he loves. He has won ten\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eJoutes Nautiques\u003c\/em\u003e, the French championship of water jousting (Google it!). Lionel is equally, if not more, successful in his day job as one of the northern Rhône’s great vignerons. What links the two? “Passion,” he says.\u003cbr\u003e     Lionel represents the third generation of his family to grow grapes and make wine around Chavanay, south of Lyon. After the Second World War, his grandfather planted vines and orchards, to make wine and sell fresh fruit. When Lionel’s father Philippe took over, he replaced the fruit trees with more vines and dedicated the entire family business to wine production, crafting top-notch northern Rhône reds and whites.\u003cbr\u003eToday, Lionel runs the domaine, and continues to take it to soaring heights. Preserving freshness and acidity in the face of warmer vintages is one of his primary goals, and he achieves this masterfully by keeping more leaves on the vines—thereby providing more shade to the grapes—as well as pursuing shorter macerations and more whole-cluster fermentation than the domaine used to. He’s also thinking about how to retain more moisture and less heat in his soils.\u003cbr\u003e     It helps that his northern corner of the appellation is known for its bright, fragrant, mineral, and elegant Syrahs, underscoring the alignment of terroir with Lionel’s years-long quest for finesse. Showcasing notes of black pepper, tart fruit, spring flowers, and a touch of brine, this is old-school Saint-Joseph at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"smaller\"\u003e—\u003cem\u003eTom Wolf\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52029947478301,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4467\/2541\/files\/LionelFauryLesRibaudes.webp?v=1784135701"},{"product_id":"2022-sang-des-cailloux-vacqueyras","title":"2022 Sang Des Cailloux \"Vacqueyras\"","description":"","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52029960421661,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4467\/2541\/files\/SangDesCaillouxVacqueyras.png?v=1784136009"},{"product_id":"2022-domaine-de-terrebrune","title":"2022 Domaine De Terrebrune","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore acquiring vineyards, Georges Delille trained as a sommelier in Paris.  In 1963, he bought what would become Domaine de Terrebrune, a property in Ollioules, just east of Bandol, framed by the Mediterranean and the mountain called Gros-Cerveau (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBig Brain\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), dotted with olive groves and scenic views—an idyllic spot. During the years following the declaration of A.O.C. Bandol (1941), mass overhauling and reconstruction of vineyards were commonplace, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003evignerons\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e were eager to revive the noble Mourvèdre grape. Georges spent ten years just renovating the property; he terraced hillsides, refashioned the masonry, replanted vineyards following the advice of Lucien Peyraud, designated soils to lie dormant and regenerate, and built a new cellar. In 1980, his son Reynald joined him after finishing winemaking school, and together they launched their first bottled vintage of Domaine de Terrebrune, which Reynald named in honor of the rich, brown soils they farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReynald’s Bandols are different.

Soil, climate, and winemaking all play a role. Limestone dominates the subsoil of Bandol, with tremendous variation between vineyards. Throughout Terrebrune’s thirty hectares, beneath the layers of clay and earth, the blue, fissured, Trias limestone is silently at work. This bedrock lends a more noticeable minerality to the wine than others. The soil here is healthy and full of nutrients, because he adheres to organic farming practices; to achieve the balance in the vineyards, he plows regularly. Gentle maritime breezes funnel air into the vineyards directly from the Mediterranean, cooling the grapes from the bright sun—another factor in safeguarding the freshness. This, in turn translates to wines for great long-term cellaring, including the rosé and dry white. Reynald’s credo of “Philosophy, Rigor, and Respect” is not a catch-phrase. He believes that the hard work and extra attention to the vines is worth it, and, as they say, the proof’s in the pudding—a glass of Terrebrune!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veritas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52029977788701,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/4467\/2541\/files\/domainedeterrebrune.webp?v=1784136862"},{"product_id":"2022-domaine-jolivet-linstinct-saint-joseph","title":"2022 Domaine Jolivet L'Instinct Saint-Joseph","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA classic interpretation of this great terroir for Syrah, fermented whole-cluster and aged in the traditional larger cask of the region, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003edemi-muid\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2021 has the added bonus of coming from a classic throwback vintage with slightly cooler average temperatures.
