This dreamy wine, perfect for aperitivo, reaffirms that we should turn more often to Piedmont not only for our reds but also for our whites!

Full-bodied style, golden, old-school Chardonnay with a chalky base.

Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.

You may find it to be leaner and livelier than the rich, plush Merlots of Pomerol and Saint Emilion

The oak adds a grain and level of class and backbone that raises this cuvée a step above the domaine’s classic Sancerre bottling.

A relatively new addition to Guy Breton’s Beaujolais lineup, this exuberant Côte de Brouilly is flat-out delicious.

Aromas of wildflowers, saffron, beeswax, and Mediterranean herbs. Rich, fleshy, and focused, all at just 12% alcohol.

Aligoté may actually be an even more precise conduit for Burgundian terroir than Chardonnay.

With aromas of apple blossom and marzipan, this Chardonnay is hard to resist on its own, but would be the perfect accompaniment to a semi-hard cheese like comté or baked steelhead trout.

If Beaujolais were Burgundy, we might consider Morgon to be Vosne-Romanée, with its haunting perfume and silky texture, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove.

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.

Just beginning to mature, the 2020 is in its sweet spot—pungently savory with herbaceous reminders of the Tuscan countryside.

A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins.

Lightly golden in color, it conjures up a day spent in the sun: seabreezes and ripe honeydew, including its subtle, savory rind.

Ultra elegant yet energized, fresh, and juicy. An all-natural wine that’s just easy to love.

Fine, with bright acid, sleek silkiness, and great length, it is the most elegant of all of Thierry’s red wines.

Its intense aromatics brazenly translate the Pic’s rugged nature, and an almost chewable minerality brings to mind slabs of shattered limestone incarnated as energy, drive, and uncommon length on the palate.

This lithe and expressive “orange” wine is an ideal palate-opener with a dry, cleansing finish and a fresh, cooling effect like coastal sage and seaspray.

Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing; try it with smoked sausage and mustard.

Peppery and bright, earthy and juicy all at once.

The violets, tapenade, and juicy black fruit in your glass is much unchanged from how it’s always been (and should be).

Gentle and refreshing on the palate, it boasts a delightful balance of stony minerality with luscious, almost honeyed fruit and flowery notes.

One of five or six most outstanding dry whites of the Mediterranean rim, vintage after vintage and worth every centime!

This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.

A gentle wave of peach, melon, and spring flowers rolls over the palate and lingers long past your last sip.

La Grave is one of the rare Cahors to consist exclusively of the native Malbec. Without any Merlot to soften it, this Cahors is decidedly old-fashioned.
