Ex Vite Vita, 'Life comes from the vine' — the motto of a winery that is firmly rooted in its homeland and looks back on centuries of tradition. Since the 18th century, Llopart has been exclusively dedicated to viticulture, although it has been cultivating vineyards since 1385(According to a document written in Latin and dated 1385, a Llopart family’s ancestor, Bernardus Leopardi, was granted some vineyards located in the present country estate Can Llopart de Subirats), and today it is an indispensable name in the world of cava, not only because of its outstanding productions (the first of which dates back to 1887), but also the important role the family had on launching “craft sparkling wine” and consolidated cava Llopart as a high quality product. Cava of medium aging, stand out on fruity and smoky aromas with a very fresh and dry texture that make it a versatile cava in glasses and accompanying any meal -
The result of a long history, Burgundy and its wines are known worldwide. Chardonnay being a native grape to the area, perfectly matches the terroir of Burgundy: poor soils or calcareous marl, perfect exposure but a temperate climate. As a result the sugar content can reach a high level whilst maintaining a balance of fruit and acidity. Thanks to a careful selection, Maison Louis Latour is able to produce a rich and expressive Chardonnay. This wine is intense, powerful and fruity. A complexe wine with a nice aromatic persistence. Food Pairing, aperitif - shellfish - charcuterie - grilled fish -

Maison Louis Latour selects the best grapes of this village, which thanks to its terroir, was the only village planted with Chardonnay 30 years ago. -
This is a unique wine from a once off production from Vincent Dancer. Oskar is the result of Vincent Dancer frustration with the low yeald of his top four Vineyards due frost that happen right after the fruit started to grow resulting in huge losses. Oskar is the name of Théo Dancer’s Australian Shepard.
So, this incredibly rare, one-off bottling comprises of a roughly equal amount of Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tête du Clos, Meursault 1er Cru Perrières and Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet. Naturally, by blending across villages, Dancer has had to declassify this wine and chose Vin de France instead of the risker option of Bourgogne Blanc! Of course, this will have little bearing on a wine that is set to become a unicorn.
This true rarity from the Dancer estate is a pure sensory pleasure of great rarity, as only two barrels were produced. Pinto Wines has the enormous honour to stock Vincent Dancer in general nevermind this unique wine.
If you'd ask me I wouldn't drink this wine with food or any other beverage. Simply on it's own and and my best friend and wife. But if you really have to pair it then I would suggest stinky cheeses, seafood and why not the coq au vin

Domaine de La Vougeraie is born from the assembly of domains acquired over time and the vines of the family. Its history dates back to 1964 with the first vine, Les Evocelles, acquired by our father at his very beginnings.

This area of excellence is located in Premeaux-Prissey, a small village in Burgundy , near Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the Côte de Nuits . For this cuvée, the estate brings together two small plots in the “ La Rue aux Vaches ” and “ Noyer Bret ” climates . They are planted with Chardonnay and worked in biodynamics , homeopathy applied to the vine. 2018 was a generous, sunny vintage, which managed to maintain a good level of freshness Sylvie Poillot, General Manager, farms the estate’s 42 hectares biodynamically. “We do this to preserve the fertility of soils, and to have a very good balance between the soil and the plant’s health,” she explains. It’s not just the soil health that’s changed: two decades on from their conversion to biodynamics, the wines are evolving too: “The wines are more aromatic and more expressive year after year,” she says. A fascinating 2018: on the one hand, it’s opulent with the warmth of the vintage; on the other, it’s tight with typical Puligny fruit, stone and bite. A superior example. Drink 2022-2028 Great with grilled fish, scallops, lobster, lobster -
