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.

This is a complex, deeply layered wine that will continue to get better for the next few decades (if not longer).

Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru 2022
$299.00Add to cartA monopole from a fantastic producer. This Pommard is a gem of the Cote de Beaune. While it’s young, there is complexity already. It has ripe fruit and enough earthy spice that this is going to mature into a beautiful wine.
-
Coutale Clos La Cahors 2020
$23.00Add to cartThis is not the Malbec you probably know. You may not know that until it was popularized by the Argentinians, no one really knew the grape, and in fact most of the vines in Cahors, France were being ripped out. But as its international fame grew a few producers took a look at what they had and decided they could sell make wine with these grapes. We are thankful because this is a delicious, earthier expression that we really enjoy.

Domaine Alain Voge Saint-Joseph Les Cotes 2021
$65.00Add to cartAlain is a legend in the Rhône. He rewrote the rule book on what great wines from southern France could be. Today led Alberic Mazoyer (who worked for Chapoutier) who still makes incredibly dense and layered wines using organic and biodynamic viticulture. This wine comes from a steep parcel of land in Mauves that has produced a delicious Syrah that has all the layers of fruit, spice, and flowers you could want.

Domaine de La Tour Penet, Macon Peronne Rouge 2023

-
Domaine des Marechaux Bordeaux Superieur 2020
$17.00Add to cartThis is a fresh take on Bordeaux – has all of the dark fruit you want out of Merlot and a touch of spice, without being overly oaked or tannic. Supple enough to drink on its own or to cut through fatty meats at the table. Definitely over delivers for the price point! – Ben

Domaine Rougeot Volnay 1er Les Santenots 2021
$380.00Add to cartRougeot wines are often lithe and light on their feet, this wine happens to be the most structured offering from the producer, and in this size it’s definitely worth putting down for a few extra years.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle 1er Cru La Combe d’Orveau 2021
$310.00Add to cartWith land in both the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, Romain Taupenot and his sister Virginie produce nineteen wines across seventeen appellations. Most of their holdings are premier or grand cru, all enviably placed with old vines. In winemaking they follow in the footsteps of Henri Jayer and focus first on their vineyards and hand harvest, de-stem, and cold soak before a natural fermentation with wild yeasts. The wines are excellent, complex, and terroir-driven.
