Maison A&S

One of the latest additions to the Burgundy landscape but which was able to quickly make a name for itself thanks to the quality of the wines ! Pierre-Alexandre Soltana and Alexandre Soares, after fruitful experiences in the vineyard and winery in beautiful estates of the Côte de Beaune, created in 2018 this small business dedicated to the purchase of high quality grapes, always on the same plots by forging real relationships of trust with the owners. An approach focused on organic wines with few inputs, little sulphur and long and delicate ageing in oak barrels. A respect here also of the Burgundian tradition while bringing the notion of micro-cuvée. Grapes sorted with care, destemmed or not according to the vintages, vinified without sulfur, foot crushing, gentle extraction, aging in barrels (very few new barrels) then bottled after at least a year.

The 3 flagship grape varieties of Burgundy are highlighted: Chardonnay, Aligoté and Pinot Noir. Here there are no snoring appellations but regional vintages (Bourgogne Chardonnay, Bourgogne Aligoté) or villages (Maranges red) produced with a care worthy of a grand cru! The wines have a real identity and a character of their own: the whites are on balance, finesse and delicacy, while the red wines are on the crunchy, the juiciness of Pinot Noir doubled by the elegance of the pure and intense red and black fruit. A real favorite for this estate which has not finished growing in reputation with the acquisition of a first vine in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune.
