There is firm
empirical evidence to the effect that yeast &
other varied wine pathogens die of boredom unless given
an interesting environment within which to practice their art. This tautological
proposition holds its deepest truth when sun & stone,
vine & grape undergo fundamental transmutation into
fine elixir via the agency of wild yeast & other
similarly feral beasties, rather than through the effete
& banal interaction of commercial strains of their
distant freeze dried brethren, the latter being so
boringly predictable. Thus, at Le Cuvier the entire
process of winemaking is left to the wild beasties, while
all human interaction is firmly dedicated to making life
interesting & nothing more.
And what does one gain from this evanescent approach to
winemaking? Curious synergy for one thing, but most
assuredly and unequivocally, one begets rarified wines
peppered through & through with gnarly character,
wines of fervor, wines which make themselves from grapes
of impeccable quality & breeding grown in locations
both steep & rough in the limestone hills west of
Paso Robles.
Le Cuvier wines are only available for tasting by members
of our wine club, the Elliptical Society, & their
guests. Alas, the Beasties produce no more than 3,000
cases per year, each bottle of which is preferentially
reserved for our members. Please phone or check our web
site for current availability, or to join a wait list for
membership.
