Description
WINEMAKER: Alexandre Aires & Pierre-Alexandre Soltana
VARIETAL: Aligoté
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VITICULTURE: Organic
100% Aligote. The grapes come from the En Perthuis vineyard, which is located about 4-5 km west of Beaune. The Aligote is pressed directly after the grapes are picked, with an old horizontal wooden press. Elevage is about 16 months, where there is ongoing tasting to follow the development. When they assess that the wine is ready, it is collected in a steel tank for about 2 months to settle post racking. Minimal SO2 addition prior to bottling.
After a chance meeting at a dinner party nearly 10 years ago Alexandre Aires and Pierre-Alexandre Soltana became great friends and after years working in similar roles they decided in 2018 to start their project Maison A&S. Pierre-Alexandre has worked for Comtes Lafon for more than 10 years. Alexandre has worked for 8 years for Domaine De Bellene where he performs all the cellar work. Maison A & S ‘philosophy is to work in harmony with nature to get the best fruit under the most perfect conditions, to make the best wine to bring people together and share about it and always try to make it better. For now they buy their grapes from organic producers who are also their friends but are in the process of beginning a lease for the 2022 growing season. In the cellar they make no additions other than small amounts of sulphur.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
