Deeply saddened and shocked by the passing of Pascal CLAIRET from Domaine de la Tournelle. Whether it was his bellowing laugh from across a crowded room, his American style bear hugs, or quiet conversation at his kitchen table, Pascale generated a warmth, kindness, joy and love for humanity that has deeply marked me. He also had a piercing gaze that made clear he suffered no fools, and like his wines, struck you to the core. I first met Pascal and his wife Evelyne in 2011 and last saw them in February 2019, when we shared a warming and restorative pot au feu and I met their youngest child for the first time, who had come home from school to join us for lunch. Pascal has left us far too soon. My heart goes out to his wife Evelyne and their children.

About

Floraison Selections is a grower driven wine importer and distributor based in California, representing a select group of independent, minimal-interventionist growers who make wine with true sense of place and origin. We select growers who capture the clear expression of their land and their raw material by farming in a way that respects the environment and people who work the land. They are hands on in the vineyard and minimal interventionist in the cellar.

We have a strong emphasis on working with organic, biodynamic, and "natural" wines and we are deeply committed to many growers that have become leaders in these practices. The unifying belief that unite our growers is that healthy, living soil and healthy grapes better capture the natural expression of place and lead to less intervention in the cellar. Our growers are dedicated, with or without official certification, to working the soil without chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides; harvesting by hand; fermenting with native yeasts; and avoiding additives other than a limited amount of sulfites.

We directly import all of the wines we represent in order to remain as closely connected as possible with each producer, their land, and their story. We are committed to telling these stories and being transparent about our growers' farming practices with our customers. We could not be more honored to work with such a committed group of growers. These are the wines we drink and love to share, made by people we support and hold in high regard.
