]]> The color of wine is not only a matter of variety, it is also a result of maceration. Wine is one of the few beverages with a multitude of colors and shades that change over time.
The pulp gives a white grape juice, so that if the grape is separated from the pressed mash, we will obtain white wine. But if we macerated red grape skins with the juice for about four weeks, you’ll get a red color that will be lighter or darker depending on the variety and therefore resulting in red wine.
For the rosé, it is simply a matter of separating the mash from the juice once the liquid has reached the desired color.
To make white wine, we take grape varieties for the creation of white juices, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Semillon, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Clairette etc. and for the reds; black varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache etc.
There are exceptions to the rule, pinot noir has a beautiful red color but lacking intensity, its other varieties being “Gris” or “Meunier”; or the Grenache that can be black or white and the gamay who is black yet used for a white juice. After that, it is only a question of maceration techniques.
The changing color of the wine during the aging in the bottle comes from a redox reaction as well as the assembly of various pigments, tannins gradually take over the wine color, giving them a brownish tint, gently announcing the wines’ decline.
To avoid damage due to the light, great wines with a long storage potential are always bottled in dark glass flasks, preserving their colors with all the magical shades typical of great wines.

]]> The Burgundy  vineyards produce 8 of the 10 best Grands Crus in the world, and in this exclusive group there is an extraordinary wine from Mosel Germany and one from the Bordeaux vineyards.

After a very serious study issued from a comparison of 30,000 worldwide merchants sites, the first ranking is not the Domaine de la Romanée Conti, but the wine of Henri Jayer a Richebourg Grand Cru rouge côtes de nuits, Pinot Black. The second is the Domaine Romanée Conti  with a Romanée Conti also a Grand Cru Rouge Côte de Nuits Pinot Black . Back to Henri Jayer for  the third place, with a Vosne Romanée Cros Parantoux a red first Cru of the Côte de Nuits and always still Pinot Black . How and why are these wines are so different? Because they are legendary wines , the most complex and the most refined in the world. They are the fruit of a great winemaker and, or, a great domaine . These are rare wines, which are increasingly scarce over time. Richebourg has a surface of 8.03 hectares and Romanée 0.85 hectares , therefore they are not comparable to the super productions of thousands of hectares in other wine regions. Burgundy is a vineyard of “gardens” worked with passion and closer to men because of its deliberately limited space . In addition , these wines are capable of successful aging despite a delicate and precious grape, as the Pinot Noir . Following with the ranking :

4. Domaine Leflaive Montrachet Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune

5. Egon Muller Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling , Mosel , Germany

6 . Domaine de la Romanée Conti Montrachet Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune

7 . Domaine Georges Roumier Musigny Grand Cru Côtes de Nuits

8. Georges and Henri Jayer Echezeaux Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits

9. Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru , Cote de Nuits

10. Petrus , Pomerol , Bordeaux

These wines are unique, extraordinary and without equivalent , reflecting the work of passionate winemakers and in love  with their vineyard.
