Fabrice Dodane – Domaine de Saint Pierre
ファブリス・ドダン（ドメーヌ・ド・サンピエール）
ファブリス・ドダンは、アルボワの美しい小さな町で生まれました。
葡萄栽培やワイン醸造に関係する家柄ではありませんでしたが、ドメーヌ・ド・サン・ピエール前当主のフィリップ・モンクと知り合い、醸造所の社員として働き始めました。フィリップの畑は有機栽培ではありませんでしたが、健康的なワインを造るためファブリスが2002年より有機およびバイオダイナミック農法へ切り替え、より一層ナチュラルなワイン造りを目指しておりましたが、フィリップが亡くなった2012年にファブリスがドメーヌを買い取り引き継ぐと事となり、現在に至っております。
現在7haを所有。ドメーヌ・サンピエールの畑は95％がアペラシオン・アルボワにあり、非常に風通しが良くミネラル感に富むワインを産み出します。その他にコート・ド・ジュラ、そしてワインに重みを与えてくれる粘土質泥灰岩の土壌が特徴的なPupillonの丘の上にも小さな区画を所有し、ピノ・ノワール、プールサール、シャルドネ、サヴァニャンを栽培しています。
Fabrice Dodane took over Domaine de Saint Pierre in 2011 after Philippe Moyne, the celebrated founder of the Domaine, passed. Aa a strong supporter of organics and biodynamics, Fabrice brought it into organic certification in 2012. The Dos d’Chat range was started after a hail storm decimated his crop, and this is his third year releasing wines under this fantastic négociant label. This cuvee is made from vines planted in 1985.
Cobaw Ridge
Cobaw Ridge is one of the iconic wineries of Macedon Ranges, one of the coolest regions in Australia, both in terms of temperature and “Cool bike, bro!” Macedon Ranges is located about an hour’s drive from Melbourne and is excelling in producing some of the hottest Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the country. One family who has been leading the pack is the Cooper family behind Cobaw Ridge. Alan and Nelly Cooper planted vines on their property in 1985 in the early years of Macedon Ranges developing as a wine region and have become the bellwether for the region.
Alan and his son Joshua are responsible for the winemaking and together they are forging a path for some of the best examples of carefully made wines going around. The vineyard has been operating as fully biodynamic since 2011 and irrigation is only used on young vines. The winemaking is a continuation of this mindset with no additions in the winery to best reflect that all important terroir.
