All the work is done by hand, and the only goal is to get the best from each Terroir. Saint Jean 2010: this Coteaux du Languedoc is very fruity, full bodied and well-balanced thanks to its freshness. Ribaute 2010: This Corbières, fruity and spicy, can be enjoyed immediately but can also be left to age for five years. With the same passion, La Galaura also proposes a selection of wines from Beaujolais, Muscadet and Corbières. 14 toronto calgary VancouVer french wine connection canada

The vines cover an area of 44 acres. To make my vines grow and produce the wine, I have chosen to combine Tradition and Technology. At any time in history, each generation has to grant its contribution to the know-how of the profession. My vines are established on parcels of sand intermingled with gravel. Their orientation makes it possible to benefit from ideal sunlight. The combination of these natural elements provides an excellent maturation of the grape. I established myself in an old entirely restored Berrichonne farm. It s here, in these grounds full of history, where my major concern is to produce a great quality wine that will best reveal the nature of my domain. To achieve distinction, the cellar has the advantage of highly qualified equipment such as pneumatic pressing, thermo regulated stainless steel vessels and air-conditioned storage. 26 toronto calgary VancouVer french wine connection canada

21 Domaine de la Fond Moiroux Bernd Bachhausen Rhône berndbachhausen@fondmoiroux.com mariebachhausen@fondmoiroux.com Font Moiroux Haut COGNY-EN-BEAuJOLAIS Rhône Beaujolais AOP Independent winemaker None Domaine Fond Moiroux was founded in The estate is located in the village of Cogny in South Beaujolais. This zone is known as the land of the golden stones due to the color of the omnipresent sandstone also used for the construction of the cellar itself. In 2008 the Luxembourg citizen and great wine enthusiast Bernd Bachhausen and his wife Marie bought the estate and decided to bring it back to its former fame. From bud-break to harvest the grapes are strongly influenced by the often changing weather. All vineyards are carefully tended by hand and this enables reaching full maturity and great quality throughout the different parcels. As a part of the organic viticulture practices, aiming to limit the amount of chemicals needed, the space in-between the rows of vines is covered by cover crops to ensure appropriate water and nutrient competition. The clear goal is to produce well-structured and long lived wines expressing the identity of the terroir they come from. Harvesting intact grapes enables us to obtain the best possible extraction of flavor compounds. 1.
