Weingut Erich Meier
Erich Meier ist experimentierfreudig, innovativ, eigenständig und hat ein gutes Gespür für Trends. Manchmal arbeitet er Tag und Nacht, bis der Wein seine Vollendung erreicht hat – und seinem Qualitätsanspruch gerecht wird. Bei der Kelterung gehört er zu den Trendsettern, bei den Reben dagegen setzt er auf die alten, seit Jahrzehnten bewährten Sorten, die am Zürichsee optimal gedeihen. So kreiert Erich Meier in Uetikon am See fruchtige, charaktervolle Weine auf höchstem Niveau – und gibt damit dem Zürichsee-Wein eine neue Dimension, die Fachleute und Weinliebhaber gleichermassen überzeugt.
Producer
Château Raymond Lafon
Located in the heart of the Sauternes area, this winery comprises 18 hectares, 16 of which planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The maximum yield by law is 25 hectolitres per hectare. The yields at Raymond-Lafon average only 8 to 10 hectolitres per hectare; in other words, one vine will produce only one glass of delicious wine. Over several pickings, the grapes are harvested one by one according to their level of maturity. In some years, this can result in up to ten selected hand harvests. This alone lets one appreciate the great value of this wine.
Castello del Terriccio
Castello del Terriccio is one of the largest agricultural estates in Tuscany (Province of Pisa) with its own microclimate. The approximately 1700 hectares extend from the northern end of the Maremma to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vineyards enjoy a south-southwest exposure with the warming and luminous effect of the sea. The Mediterranean maquis and the eucalyptus trees growing all around it not only protect the grapes from the wind, but also imbue them with the scents and aromas that give the wines of the Terriccio their distinctive flavour.
Château Fourcas-Borie
The Bruno Borie family, which is also the owner of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2e Cru Classé in Saint Julien), acquired the Château Fourcas Dumont in 2009 and from then on named it Château Fourcas-Borie.
