Wines In The Collection

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy France | Loire
Pure, classy fruit sing tenor without any interference from the earthy bass that often makes itself heard in Bourgogne rouge.

Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
It fills the mouth with suspicions of honeysuckle and pulpy stone fruits, all while maintaining classic notes of iodine and sea breeze that make this the vinous equivalent of tidepooling.

Catherine & Pierre Breton France | Loire
This wine is deep and textural, with serious presence on the palate and a dry, flinty finish.

Régis Minet France | Loire
Sauvignon Blanc has many incarnations throughout the world, but even in the Loire Valley—the grape’s spiritual home—Pouilly Fumé represents a very distinctive example.

Bernard Baudry France | Loire
Ultra fresh and brimming with citrus blossom and orchard fruit notes, it has a saline, mineral finish that leaves my palate begging for more.

Daniel Chotard France | Loire
Chotard has crafted a delicious, complex, and elegant rouge that gives many village Burgundies a run for their money.

Christine de Mianville France | Loire
Juicy and open-knit, it mirrors the sensation of biting into fleshy slices of white peach, nectarine, and guava.

Domaine du Salvard France | Loire
Lime blossoms delivered via a lightning bolt of minerally refreshment.

Champalou France | Loire
From clay and limestone vineyards, they are able to obtain remarkable complexity in their Brut, while the texture shows both a creamy richness and an austere minerality.

Thierry Germain France | Loire
Burgundian-like in character from its time spent in barrel, the laser-like acidity will become even more enticing with some age.

Catherine & Pierre Breton France | Loire
This divine red allies the power and finesse one would expect from this great terroir.

Christine de Mianville France | Loire
A single-vineyard bottling whose age lends a soft, drawn butter richness to its bright, tart citrus palate.

Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire
Fermented and aged in barrel and bottled unfiltered, it features a delightful kiss of oak on the long, bracing, mouth-watering finish.

Domaine Michel Brégeon France | Loire
This skin-contact wine is redolent of blood orange and hyssop—a perfect apéritif for olives and anchovies.

Charles Joguet France | Loire
The singularity and beauty of Chenin Blanc really shines with a bit of age, which is what makes this wine so special to enjoy now.

Domaine du Salvard France | Loire
June Club Gourmand ~ Sauvignon and a splash of Chardonnay: the epitome of minerally Loire refreshment

Grange Saint Sauveur France | Loire
The new vintage shows great freshness and brightness, making me think of tart berries picked in the forest just a touch below full ripeness.

Pascal Janvier France | Loire
It might be the most unusual and most delicious top-quality sweet wine you have ever tried.

Domaine Trotereau France | Loire
Textured, lush, full of aromatic gooseberry and passionfruit—all supported by spiny minerality.

Eric Chevalier France | Loire
At first, it is streamlined, saline, and full of lemon. Then the granite terroir kicks in...

Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire
A lovely combination of Grolleau Noir and Cabernet Franc, there seems to be a synergistic effect elevating both grapes to create a juicy, spicy, refreshing whole.

Château d’Epiré France | Loire
Savennières is home to some of the greatest terroirs for this grape variety thanks to its soils of schist, sandstone, and blue slate and its proximity to the moderating Loire River.

Charles Joguet France | Loire
With floral aromas and fine-grained tannins, it already showcases its charms.

Château d’Epiré France | Loire
Powerful, cellar-worthy dry Chenin aged in chestnut, oak, and acacia.

Thierry Germain France | Loire
Germain’s reds are grand examples of the heights biodynamic wines can achieve.

Bernard Baudry France | Loire
Even though all of the wines hail from Chinon, the soil, elevation, and exposition all combine to make Le Clos Guillot their cuvée with the most finesse.

Domaine Trotereau France | Loire
Pierre’s old-vine Quincy has a mouth-coating texture and charming notes of tangerine that are certain to earn this great appellation the following it deserves.

Daniel Chotard France | Loire
