Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose 2012

This is a perfect food wine that is in a perfect drinking window now but could age for decades.

Chateau Bardins Pessac Leognan 2018
$54.00Add to cartA Bordeaux with soul. The Château Bardins is both supple and tense, with a velvety Merlot robe pulled snugly over a chiseled structure. It has tannins, but they aren’t mean, it’ll get even better with age. It’s a wine that ultimately is straightforward and enjoyable, but has depth of character and flavor.

Chateau de Chaintres Saumur Champigny Vieilles Vignes 2020
$31.00Add to cartWe love the Loire, it’s the garden of France, and the wines almost across the board retain a beautiful earthiness. While the Tigny family has owned this 17th century chateau since the 1930s it was the addition of cellar master Jean-Philippe Louis that they really stepped up their game, converting the estate to biodynamics, hand picking, and allowing for spontaneous fermentation.
The vines that plunge the deepest into the tuffeau soils of the vineyards range from 50 to 80 years of age. Despite the concentration and structure a sense of freshness permeates this wine—making it “très digeste”. Graceful tannins and an assertive underlying minerality contribute a salty-savory edge to the fruit.

Chateau de la Bonneliere Chinon Rive Gauche Rouge 2023
$23.00Add to cartFor two generations the Plouzeaus have been working to restore the Château de la Bonneliére and its vines to their original glory. The son, Marc, converted the vineyards to fully organic.
The grapes for this wine come from vines that grow on an ancient riverbed and lend a distinct mineral quality to it.

Chateau de Montfaucon Lirac Rose 2023
$32.00Add to cartThis wine hails from just across the Rhone river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in Lirac and comes from a winemaker who returned home to focus on sustainable winemaking in Barossa and at Vieux Telegraphe. Delicious, complex, and highly drinkable.
-
Chateau Doisy Vedrines Sauternes 375ml 2020
$44.00Add to cartWe can wax poetic about Sauternes all day. These naturally sweet beauties are the perfect way to round out a delicious meal or offset a smoky, fatty dish mid meal. The contrast of the sweet and smoky unctuous-ness is one of life’s little joys.

Chateau Lynch-Bages Blanc de Lynch-Bages, Bordeaux, 2020
$120.00Add to cartWe came late to this and could only grab 2 bottles but the reviews for this wine are stellar across the internet. We suspect this will be gone before anyone gets a chance read this but here’s what we can tell you. 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. 1990 was the first vintage this wine was produced and the 2020 is the first vintage with new equipment to more precisely control oxygen levels and temperatures. Fermented in oak (50% new) and aged on the lees for 6 months the Lynch Bages Blanc is one of the most rewarding drinking experiences in white wine.
-
Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rose 2023
$35.00Add to cartA Provençal estate that has been in the hands of the Portalis family since before the French Revolution. Today the estate is worked organically, and sheep graze between the vines for a large part of the year. Their reds are brooding Mourvedres but the rosé is a more balanced blend of Mourvedre and Cinsault. Fermented in concrete, the resulting wine is one of the richest rosés around that is dry with a full body and a rich floral nose.
