Why Ventoux will become one of the great appellations of the Southern Rhône Le Ventoux, a land of the future? Emmanuel Perrin Boasting the coolest climate in the south of the Rhône Valley and preserved landscapes, the Ventoux vineyard is popular. In recent years, the establishment of ambitious winegrowers and the rise of white wines have been the talk of the town. In the Ventoux appellation, in just 4 years, the production of white wines has increased by more than a third of its initial volumes. And more than 12% of this 5,500 hectare vineyard is already planted with white grape varieties. It must be said that the combination of limestone terroir and cool climate favors the production of a color that many vineyards in the southern zone envy in Ventoux. “Benefiting from this freshness and such thermal amplitudes, due to the proximity of Mont Ventoux, allows us to have more sparkling whites and with better acidity. In addition, our ampelographic richness, with the Grenache Blanc, Clairette but also Roussanne, Viognier, Vermentino, Bourboulenc, etc. grape varieties, constitutes a formidable toolbox for creating wide ranges in a territory that lends itself to it,” explains Frédéric. Chaudière, winemaker at Château Pesquié and president of the AOC Ventoux.

Treasury Wine Estates just announced its $1 billion acquisition of Daou Vineyards, Paso Robles. Here's my report on Daou Vineyards - fabulous wines and venue - which I visited a few months back for the second time. Daou and others in Paso Robles are making this a wine tourism region competitive with Napa and Sonoma. Mega wine producer, Sydney, Australia-based Treasury Wine Estates (already with U.S. properties) bought Daou to add to its luxury portfolio. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Treasury said it has agreed to pay $900 million upfront for what it called the fastest-growing luxury wine brand in U.S. trade over the 12 months through Oct. 8. It could pay up to $100 million in additional earn-outs linked to growth targets over the three years through 2027." I say, this acquisition raises the stakes in the U.S. wine industry in several dimensions. On another note, the Daou brother-owners got out of strife-torn Lebanon in the 1970’s. Thanks to my Paso pal, vintner Joseph D’Alessio (Enfold Wines) for introducing me 11 years ago to Daou Vineyards and to Daniel, one of the brothers, the Winemaker of the duo. #Daouvineyards #Daou #Treasurywineestates #Pasorobles #Paso #Pasowine

Bodega Manuel Quintano Labastida was founded in 1964 in the epicenter of Rioja Alavesa. Manuel Quintano Labastida continues with its pioneering spirit with more than 400 hectares that are nestled between the banks of the Ebro River and the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria in one of the most unique and privileged areas in all of Rioja. The vines are protected from the Atlantic wind and rain while enjoying the warm air currents brought from the Mediterranean by the Ebro. Labastida wines are the result of the ideal proportion of rainfall with warm days and cool nights, which makes the Labastida vineyards one of the best in Rioja https://lnkd.in/db5r8HtN

Pessac-Léognan: L’Esprit Bordeaux [4] WINEMAKERS ROOTED IN THEIR LAND Genuine humility and humanity There exists a 'cult of truth' specific to Pessac-Léognan, which one of our winemakers sums up perfectly, and It says everything: “I want to listen to my land, understand it and apply myself to extracting the very best from it, in search of an ideal balance between the soils, the plants, those who work here and make the wine, those who live nearby and all those who drink it: this is why my wine is true.” For generations, family dynasties have worked their vines all year round, by day and sometimes by night, with a passion for their terroir. Together, these women and men form an extended family of Pessac-Léognan winemakers, united in their beliefs and values: individual and collective pride, precision, the taste for balance, temperance but also an insatiable curiosity for innovation, and finally a sense of continuous effort, which makes it possible to achieve ever higher levels of quality, forever in accordance with the demanding standards of the appellation. Their humanism and commitment are what gathers, in all their diversity, the vignerons of Pessac-Léognan, and distinguishes them, with a particular sense of effort, and a genuine concern for others. Without show, fuss, or unnecessary bustle, they are concerned only with authenticity and humanity, serene at work day after day, certain in the knowledge that the sum of their efforts to honour their terroir, whilst respecting the environment, will be fully rewarded. #nouvelelan #lespritbordeaux #pessacleognan #designthinking #collectiveintelligence (Photo crédit: Syndicat Viticole de Pessac-Léognan))

In the 18th century, the Marquis of Pombal introduced a pioneering vineyard classification system based on wine quality, influencing land value and ensuring the Porto wine’s reputation for excellence. The 19th and 20th centuries were periods of great challenges but also modernization. The phylloxera plague devastated vineyards across Europe, and the Douro was no exception. The response included restructuring vineyards with resistant rootstocks, safeguarding viticulture continuity. Simultaneously, technological innovations in winemaking and vineyard management contributed to raising the Douro wines’ quality standards. The Alto Douro Wine Region’s classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 acknowledged the region’s exceptional universal value. This status celebrates the extraordinary cultural landscape shaped by human activity and highlights the importance of preserving the winemaking heritage. Since then, international interest in the region has grown, with a significant increase in tourism and investment in wineries.
