In Burgundy, a winemaker may reserve a special barrel for friends and family. They call this barrel Soliste. CONTREBANDE defines the origin and the promise of Soliste. From one barrel only 23 cases of 750s were produced and bottled and waxed by hand. Although it hurts to part with so few bottles, sharing this special release with you, the very few that have been loyal supporters of our journey, fills us with joy and pride.

Vosne-Romanée Ouest

As our story goes, the name Soliste comes from the special single barrel the Burgundian vigneron reserves for friends and family. Our single barrel wines represent the promise and journey that is Soliste. 

We realized we had a unique and rare opportunity to create a Single Cuvee from the other great  MonoClone^® barrels from each of our vineyards. We blended the best barrels together and aged to harmonize the once separated wines to craft Narcisse Pinot Noir -- an exceptional wine of great depth, fruit concentration and elegance, a pure representation of Soliste wines.

A Tribute to Didier Dagueneau, The Master of St Andelain.

St Andelain is our homage to the incomparable late Didier Dagueneau. He single-handedly revolutionized Sauvignon Blanc, bringing it to Grand Cru status as any great white Burgundy.
