Romain Pertuzot
Romain comes from a long-established winegrowing family in Chorey-les-Beaune, rooted in the village for generations. His path started early: as a teenager, he learned to vinify alongside his father, who spent over 30 years as maître de chai at Louis Latour in Beaune.
From there, he continued to refine his craft with some of the region’s most respected names: Nicolas Rossignol in Volnay, Anne Gros in Vosne-Romanée, and seven years as chef de cave at Domaine Jacques Prieur. In September 2024, Romain officially launched his own domaine. Today he farms 3.2 hectares across Chorey-les-Beaune, Beaune and Pommard,
Martin Schgraffer
Martin is based back home in South Tyrol (near Bolzano) and his path is the opposite of shortcuts: he studied viticulture & oenology in San Michele and Geisenheim, then went out to learn in real cellars and real harvest pressure — Oregon, plus time on the Nahe with the famous german winery Dönnhoff. After that he spent six years at Ansitz Dolomytos, before returning fully to his own place. Since 2023, it’s been 100% his project, his vineyards, his decisions.
Domaine Lassak
Domaine Lassak is one of those young German estates that feels less like a project and more like a statement. Based in Württemberg, Stefanie and Fabian Lassak work some of the region’s steep, terraced Muschelkalk slopes with a clarity of vision that immediately sets them apart. Steffi studied in Geisenheim and spent extended time working in Austria and Burgundy, where she sharpened her understanding of precision and finesse during formative time at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair in Vosne-Romanée. While Fabi is a trained viticulture technician with a deep understanding of vineyard structure and balance. This shared foundation shapes their approach — thoughtful farming, clarity of intention, and wines built on tension rather than volume.
Drop 18 – The Original Unicorns
Martial Angeli is the next chapter of Anjou’s quietly iconic Ferme de la Sansonnière. His father, Mark Angeli, farmed organic and biodynamic long before it was a movement, setting a benchmark for Chenin Blanc driven by energy, balance, and place.
Today, father and son work side by side: farming first, minimal cellar work, no forcing. The wines are precise yet generous—quiet intensity, natural harmony, and real life in the glass. They don’t chase attention; they reward patience.
Drop 17 – Don’t stop believin‘ – Good vibe 2026 drop
Dard & Ribo is one of the quietly influential estates of the northern Rhône, based near Mercurol and working across Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and Hermitage. Founded in the late 1980s by René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, the domaine has always stood for wines built on place, integrity, and craft. They farmed organically long before it was fashionable, working with old vines, low yields, and real sensitivity to site. In the cellar, intervention stays minimal. The wines feel structured, deep, energetic, and restrained — true northern Rhône with clarity, substance, and aging potential.
Drop 16 – I am wachting you!
Romain comes from a long-established winegrowing family in Chorey-les-Beaune, rooted in the village for generations. His path started early: as a teenager, he learned to vinify alongside his father, who spent over 30 years as maître de chai at Louis Latour in Beaune. His first bottled vintage was 2005 — a great year in Burgundy and a defining moment for him.
Drop 15 – Breaking Burgundy’s Comfort Zone
In the wind-swept plains of the southern Pfalz, in Zeiskam, Lukas Hammelmann is quietly rewriting what this flat landscape can deliver. He stayed where others saw only potatoes and onions, betting on character over reputation. His tiny estate is built around a few parcels—loess, limestone, sandstone, old terraces, even near-century-old vines—farmed organically, no shortcuts. The wines are tense, precise, and unapologetic, more about attention than charm. Proof that the most electric bottles can come from the most overlooked places.
Drop 14 – SAME GRAVITY. DIFFERENT ALTITUDE
In the Côte des Bar, Thibault and Alizée farm a single family hectare in Celles-sur-Ource, launching their own label in 2019. Biodynamics, handwork and wild fermentations guide everything; old barrels and zero dosage keep the wines raw and honest. Tiny yields and even tinier volumes make their Champagne feel deeply personal — precise, bright and shaped by the quiet devotion behind every bottle.
Drop 13 – R | R RUTHLESSLY REMARKABLE
La Rogerie is a young, family-run Champagne house founded by Justine Boxler and François Petit, connecting Alsatian roots with the chalky terroirs of Avize, Oger, and Cramant. They farm organically and focus on living soils, crafting Champagnes that are elegant, mineral, and pure. Their wines express both tradition and a fresh, modern sensibility — precise, balanced, and deeply tied to place.
Drop 12 – Les 3 Amis
Jérémy Carteret grew up surrounded by vineyards and worked with respected names such as Benjamin Leroux and Domaine du Comte Armand before starting his own project in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. His approach is minimalist: whole-cluster fermentations, native yeasts, and no additives. His wines, like his Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Euphoria, show purity and freshness while keeping a clear Burgundian identity.
