Vineyard Tour, Cellar Tour and Tasting at Weingut Van Volxem (VDP) in Wiltingen, Saar, with Lukas Büchner - Germany Rhein-Mosel-Nahe 2024 by ombiasy WineTours

Germany Rhein-Mosel-Nahe 2024 by ombiasy WineTours took place from August 28 – Friday, September 06, 2024. We spent 10 days visiting top wine estates in five wine regions, tasting fabulous Rieslings and Pinot Noir (aka Spätburgunder), meeting world-renowned wine makers, travelling through the world’smost beautiful wine regions, cruising on the romantic Rhein river, looking at dizzying steep vineyards along the Rhein and Mosel rivers, and delving deep into German history and culture: Rheinhessen • Rheingau • Mittelrhein • Mosel • Nahe 

Today, we went to a relatively unknown part of the Mosel, the Upper Mosel, had lunch in Luxembourg, spent the afternoon at the Saar and finished the day at Restaurant Dian im Deinhard's in Bernkastel-Kues with an Asian wine-pairing dinner orchestrated by Janet Cam and Annette Schiller.

Saar: At Van Volxem Weingut & Vinothek in Wiltingen we were back in the well-known part of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer. Owner Roman Niewodniczanski was away in Nice/ France buying cheese for the GG presentation the following weekend, but @Lukas Büchner gave us a highly educational and entertaining tour and tasting of the #worldclass Van Volxem wines. 

Weingut Van Volxem (VDP) in Wiltingen, Saar Valley

The Saar, a tributary to the Mosel river gives name to one of the two unique sup-regions of the Mosel wine region where crisp, more masculine Rieslings are made. Here we are back in the typical Mosel slate terroir. Famous Frank Schoonmaker wrote 1956 in ‘The Wines of Germany’: “In these great and exceedingly rare wines of the Saar, there is a combination of qualities which I can perhaps best describe as indescribable – austerity coupled with delicacy and extreme finesse, an incomparable bouquet, a clean, very attractive hardness tempered by a wealth of fruit and flavor which is overwhelming.”

Weingut Van Volxem is one of the oldest wineries in the region. As a result of the secularization during the reign of Napoleon, the winery was acquired by the beer brewer Gustav Van Volxem from Trier. It remained for 4 generations in the Van Volxem family, before it was purchased by Peter Jordan in 1993 (Weingut Jordan & Jordan). Finally, in 1999, it was bought by Roman Niewodniczanski and revived under the old name Weingut Van Volxem. With Roman taking over, the circle has once again become complete, with the Niewodniczanski family owning the Bitburger brewery.

Roman Niewodniczanski bought Weingut Van Volxem with 30 acres of vineyards, of which he sold 4 hectares. Today, Weingut Van Volxem’s vineyard area totals around 180 acres. Van Volxem has become the biggest producer in the Mosel region. In buying new vineyards, Roman’s guiding philosophy was to find the most prized vineyards of the early 20th century, planted with the oldest vines possible (sometimes topping 120 years). His winemaking philosophy is: no fining, no filtration, no herbicides, low yields,
manual harvesting, using spontaneous fermentation. 

Roman’s expansion project culminated in 2019 with the completion of a state-of-the-art Napa style winery.

Van Volxem/ wine-searcher

Van Volxem is a German wine producer located in Wiltingen, in Germany's Saar region. It is known for its mineral-rich, dry Riesling wines. These are vinified to emulate the famous Saar wines of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The estate lies on the foundations of a Roman villa and its vineyards are some of the oldest in the region. It is said to have been first planted to vine in the 3rd century.

In 2000, Roman Niewodniczanski acquired the estate, after four generations of ownership by the Van Volxem family. He expanded the estate, acquiring additional holdings at top vineyards, including in the Grosse Lage Goldberg, Scharzhofberger, Volz, Altenberg and Wiltinger Gottesfuss sites.

Most of Van Volxem's vineyards are located on the Saar's south-facing slate slopes where vines receive optimum sunlight for ripening. Van Volxem farms over 60 hectares (148 acres) of vineyard land on these steep slate slopes, planted almost entirely to Riesling.

Many of the estate's vines remain ungrafted and vineyard soils are primarily composed of Devonian slate. One of Van Voxlem's top wines, from the Grosse Lage Wiltinger Gottesfuss site, is produced with fruit from ungrafted, 120-year-old vines grown on a steep, red slate slope.

Van Volxem's wines are mostly fermented dry or off-dry with indigenous yeasts. The estate is a member of the VDP and produces a range of Riesling wines according to the association's strict standards.

It also bottles a small amount of Sekt from Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. In total, Van Volxem produces around 300,000 bottles annually.

Lunch and Tasting at Weingut Van Volxem with Owner Roman Niewodniczanski in 2015

We visited Weingut Van Volxem the 2015 Germany-North Tour by ombiasy WineTours. Roman was our host. We had a wine tasting and lunch, prepared by his charming wife, with him. After lunch and wine tasting, we went with him on a vineyard tour.

Cellar Tour and Tasting at Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet, Croze-Hermitage, with Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet - Rhône Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours

Rhône Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours led by Annette Schiller took place from October 13 - October 23. The tour started in Lyon and ended in Châteauneuf-du-Pap/ Avignon. There were 8 of us including Annette and me.

The Rhône Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in France, and the second largest after Bordeaux. The Greeks introduced viticulture in the 4th century BC. Later the Romans came and brought viticulture to a different level. Since then the world has discovered Rhône wines and some of the most famous wines come from the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located on both sides of the river. The Rhône Valley is divided into two distinctively different regions: the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône.

we went to Domaine Jaboulet Philippe et Vincent. Philippe was for 30 years the director of production at Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné before the Jaboulet family sold it in 2006.  

Following a tour of the cellar, Philippe led a tasting in the tasting room. We also met Vinvent.  

 

The wines of Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet are brought to the USA by Bonhomie Wine Imports. 

 

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet

For 30 years Philippe Jaboulet was the director of production at the famed estate ‘Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné’ in Tain L’Hermtage. After the estate was sold to the Frey family, owners of Château La Lagune in the Médoc, Philippe founded the Domaine Philippe et Vincent Jaboulet in 2006 to continue the family tradition to produce wine which had been passed on for 6 generations. Son Vincent studied oenology and gathered experience in other wine estates in France and Australia.

Domaine Philippe et Vincent Jaboulet retained some acres of the family’s historic vineyards, including most notably a parcel of the original Thalabert vineyard, which is situated in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. The parcel from the Thalabert vineyard that belonged to Paul Jaboulet Ainé was renamed Nouvelère. The domaine’s Nouvelère wine is produced from the vineyard’s oldest vines, up to 80
years old. 

 

Today the domaine produces wines from 75 acres in several appellations: Crozes-Hermitage red or white (100% Marsanne grape), the largest appellation with 62 acres; Hermitage, the most prestigious wine of the northern Côte du Rhône region with 3.2 acres around the Hermitage slopes; Cornas, an appellation for red wine only that is grown on the western slopes of the Rhône on 6 acres of granite soil and a little higher than the other areas; IGP red and white on 5 acres of 100% Syrah and 100% Viognier. 

 

The domaine is certified HVE level 3: no use of pesticides and chemical insecticides to foster biodiversity in the vineyards. The approach in the cellar is equally environmentally minded.

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet: Family Identity and Innovation Combined/ Bonhomie Wine Imports

For 25 years, until the estate was sold in 2006, Philippe Jaboulet oversaw the vineyards of his family business, the renowned Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Now, Philippe, along with his son Vincent have joined the movement of local growers making their own wines. Holding on to 15 hectares of original family vines, including the highly regarded Thalabert parcel (renamed Nouvelère) and purchasing another 15 ha, the two created a singular domain: Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. The estate includes plots in Ermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Cornas.

The Nouvelère plot (a play on the words “nouvelle” and “era”), is renowned for the presence of larger rounded galet stones and is the oldest part of their vineyards with vines over 80 years old (planted during World War II). These older vines were planted more densely thus seeing more stress and competition on each vine resulting in lower yields (30/35 hl/ha), and in turn, more concentrated, structured wines than their other plots which average 40/45 hl/ha. Other plots are mostly composed of granite soil covered in loess with some red clay.

Since the inception of the Domaine, Philippe and Vincent have worked the vines as traditionally as possible which allowed them to achieve the highest level HVE certification in 2016. Vincent notes that “…what we’ve also done with the certification is to emphasize the importance of biodiversity around our plots, with the installation on certain plots of nesting boxes for bats and birds and our beehives, as well as the preservation of natural habitats around our plots.” The changing climate has forced some adjustments over the years, particularly with the management of hotter weather and water management (no watering allowed!). Not using weedkillers or insecticides means more work in the vineyard but their philosophy remains strong: Use traditional methods typical of the region, both in cultivation and in the cellar.

In the cellar, grapes are destemmed, then pressed with the juice seeing long maceration typically between 3 and 4 weeks. Of course, they adapt depending on each vintage condition and taste vats every 1-2 days to monitor the evolution of the wine. Depending on the cuvée, fermentation can take place in stainless steel, concrete, or wooden vats. Red wines are filtered only very lightly just before bottling to disturb the wine as little as possible.

This father and son team succeed by holding on to their identity, considering it a privilege to continue the family tradition of working in the vineyards passing from father to son for 6 generations. A great trinity of tradition, family, and dedication imbues the production of these iconic wines.
