Category: The Story

This is the beginning of an audio adventure through which we hope to discover a new side of the great terroirs of Burgundy.  Together with Tom, the Hungry Cyclist, we are exploring a dimension of the climates and their terroirs that is rarely given the appreciation that it deserves, the sound.

Unsure of what will come from the project, we start now in January in the heart of the Côte-d’Or at the acclaimed Grand Cru vineyard of Corton-Charlemagne.  So please… put your earphones on, pour a glass of wine and enjoy the Echoes des Terroirs.

We have been so lucky to connect and share with so many of you. It has been amazing the number of people who have joined us on this journey. Thank you for your support.

What a year in Burgundy it has been!  Looking back here are some of our special moments.

We made a good friend and learned a lot during an internship with Ray Walker at Maison Ilan.  We experienced the vineyards covered in snow.  David Clark showed us what the future of wine making might be like.  We purchased an old home and winery in Burgundy.  We graduated from the wine school in Beaune.  We watched the vineyards turn green in Spring.  Our renovations started and the grape hunt began.  The renovations continued and Burgundy was hit by a devastating hail storm.  We found our first grapes in Gevrey-Chambertin and then a 1er cru.  Not long after a couple 1er cru Chardonnays from Chassagne-Montrachet were added to the mix.

After a long year of preparations our winery, Maison Harbour, was ready for it’s first harvest.  Our grapes slowly turned into wine.  We put our two hundred year old vertical press to use.

and… We put the wines in our cellar to age.

Here’s to 2014, may it be as challenging and rewarding as 2013, Cheers!
