New Arrivals
When it comes to new arrivals here at Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, the last few weeks have brought us a flurry of exciting bottles from France and Italy. We’ve received a collection of terroir-driven, affable Burgundies from La Sœur Cadette, a special Syrah blend from Grange des Pères, refreshing summertime rosés, and several mouthwatering sparkling wines—from a versatile Prosecco to an elegant Blanc de Noirs, amongst other selections. Every week, we’ll be adding a dozen or more new arrivals, so check back often for your favorite classics or new discoveries!
Wines In The Collection
Henri Costal France | Burgundy
A stunning value from one of Chablis’ oldest premier cru vineyards, with a lovely mouthful of stone fruit and hint of lemongrass.
Sommariva Italy | Veneto
With its light and elegant notes of citrus and orchard fruit, this is one of the stand-out, exquisitely crafted wines of this region.
Les Eminades France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Full of freshness and detailed elegance, with not a hint of rusticity.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci France | Corsica
A grandiose expression of Sciaccarellu worthy of grand cru status.
Famille Brunier France | Southern Rhône
At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.
Paul Bara France | Champagne
“That wine should be paired with a steak,” said Anthony Lynch when tasting this tête du cuvée from Paul Bara.
Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.
Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!
Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne France | Northern Rhône
Amid the lush fruit runs a delicate current of minerality that lingers on the tongue, as if the wine cascaded down a granite slope on its way into your glass.
Kuentz-Bas France | Alsace
A bargain introduction to Alsace features, vinified dry for versatile everyday pleasure.
Domaine Pierre Guillemot France | Burgundy
This wine embodies the qualities that enchant and thrill us most about red Burgundy.
Lambert de Seyssel France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes
From a village in the French Alps with a reputation for floral-scented charmers made from the local grapes.
Domaine de la Grange des Pères France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Grange des Pères defies categorization and redefines greatness.
La Sœur Cadette France | Burgundy
All you need to know is that this wine drinks like a Beaujolais with loads of black, sappy fruit and is ounce per ounce more pleasurable and delicious than anything you’d find in a collector’s stash.
La Sœur Cadette France | Burgundy
A thirst-quenching, spirit-lifting, and downright delicious white Burgundy.
La Sœur Cadette France | Burgundy
The grape is better known as the Loire Valley’s delicate, citrusy Muscadet, but grown in the land from whence it’s named, it takes on lovely length and texture.
Domaine Les Pallières France | Southern Rhône
This Gigondas rosé is a real pleasure to be around. It’s seasonally versatile and could quite possibly be the most food friendly rosé we carry!
Domaine de Durban France | Southern Rhône
This refreshing blend of Chardonnay and Viognier brings aromas of fresh sun-kissed peaches and cleansing rainwater.
Château Fontanès France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Genuinely reflecting the down-home, country soulfulness we love about the Languedoc.
Clos La Coutale France | Southwest
Consistently great year in and year out. It possesses class, country soul, and more-than-meets-the-eye complexity.
Clos Sainte Magdeleine France | Provence
Snappy and focused with a savory perfume of wild thyme and sea breeze.
Domaine de Terrebrune France | Provence
A vivid purple color, it is akin to fresh-pressed wild berries and perfumed hints of flowers and pepper, without the dense, grippy tannin characteristic of a true Bandol made from older vines.
Domaine Comte Abbatucci France | Corsica
A lovely apéritif or the ideal match to Mediterranean-inspired antipasti.
France | Burgundy
A stunning value from one of Chablis’ oldest premier cru vineyards, with a lovely mouthful of stone fruit and hint of lemongrass.
France | Corsica
You’ll taste the salty sea breeze in this wine.

Joie de Vivre and a Zeal for Burgundian Terroir
In a way, it’s a blessing that Valentin Montanet’s northern corner of Burgundy isn’t home to any premiers or grands crus. Under no pressure to do anything too grand or fussy with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, or Melon de Bourgogne, Valentin’s greatest ambition is to make the most pure and joyous whites and reds possible…
Latest Finds from Kermit’s Cellar
Who hasn’t felt a pang of jealousy reading about the wines Kermit tasted in damp, dark French cellars and vigneron dining rooms during his early adventures on the wine route? 1959 Joguet Chinon, 1955 Tempier rouge, 1942 Chave Hermitage—each vibrant, alive, and in their prime, despite their many years in bottle. That’s why we take such pleasure in unearthing aged bottles we’ve tucked away over the years to share with you…
The Spirit of Le Sud
Defining the “South of France” is not as easy as one might expect. After all, everything is relative: Parisians may feel they’ve reached the South as soon as they hit Lyon, but to residents of Provence, Lyon may as well be the North Pole. Having made the drive from Burgundy to Provence many times, I have formed my own opinion of where the border lies...
Fine Wine Bargains
Once I left Burgundy and began exploring elsewhere, I noticed that France and Italy produced incredible bargains, especially if one looked where no one else was looking. Nothing makes me prouder (commercially speaking, anyway) than returning home with yet another fine wine bargain for you...
Very Vieilles Vignes
This collection features wine produced mainly from vines planted before 1950, with some going as far back as 150 years—these twelve wines are truly very old-vine gems! Don’t miss some of France and Italy’s greatest viticultural treasures.…
Introducing Domaine Thillardon
Beaujolais may be a lighter wine, but we at KLWM don’t take our Beaujolais lightly! Our appetite for bright, pure-fruited Gamay has been insatiable ever since Kermit’s first trip exploring the region in 1974. It has been our joy to introduce you to benchmark domaines such as Lapierre, Foillard, and Château Thivin, and now there is a new name to remember…
The Carpe Vinum Collection
An ever-changing offering of wines that are just about to sell out; one last opportunity to seize a range of selections before they disappear from our shelves forever.
50th Anniversary Merchandise
When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
