Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
June Club Gourmand ~ There is blood orange on the palate, soil tones, iron, and a stony backbone. The luscious character of this vintage is on full display in this deliciously approachable bottle.

Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
From a single-vineyard parcel on one of the family’s most primely positioned slopes, this bottling has more depth, concentration, and brambly tannic punch.
![2020 Irancy “Palotte” Benoît Cantin](http://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/products/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-2019-Irancy-Palotte-product-image-9458-medium.jpg)
Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
Cantins’ best parcel—called Palotte—is planted to both Pinot Noir and another traditional Burgundian red grape, César. Usually blended in small amounts, César adds an element of dense, dark fruit and tannic structure to the brighter and more fruit-forward Pinot Noir.

Benoît Cantin France | Burgundy
Emeline is sourced from the domaine’s favorite bits of their favorite parcels and then long-aged in barrel for a deeper, darker Irancy.

The Luminaries of Morgon
![Lapierre, Breton, Thévenet](http://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/content/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-The-Luminaries-of-Morgon-image_set_1_img_1-20329-large.jpg)
It’s not a stretch to say the Lapierres, Foillards, Thévenets, and Guy Breton have been the most influential group of growers in the world over the last thirty years.
We almost never have the wines of all four domaines in stock at the same time, so take advantage of this brief window—and this month’s Beaujolais discount—to become acquainted, or reacquainted, with these true French icons.
Beaujolais Picnic Collection
![Lunch at Château Thivin](http://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/content/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-Beaujolais-Picnic-Collection-image_set_1_img_1-20069-large.jpg)
No other region’s wines are more quaffable, more soifable, more undeniably easy-drinking than those of the Beaujolais. Though I relish the fresh, thirst-quenching charms of Beaujolais in all manner of seasons and settings, it has become an indispensable companion alongside the many simple pleasures of spring and summertime.

The Many Faces of Cabernet Franc

The Loire Valley’s Touraine region may be home to some of France’s grandest châteaux, but when it comes to its wines, the region remains thoroughly paysan, and free of pomp and ceremony. Wine and food are paramount to the spirit and culture here, and made primarily in the image of the weeknight table, impromptu picnic, or barbecue. Cabernet Franc is the star red grape in this rural, central stretch of the Valley...
The Rare World of Massimo Benevelli

Côte Rôtie: Rediscovering the Jewel

Hard to believe, but by the 1960s most of the Côte-Rôtie was abandoned to wild brush. One could earn far more money growing apricots along the Rhône than one could growing grapes on the slopes above. What was once celebrated the world over had quietly slid into oblivion. Thankfully, a few growers weren’t fazed and carried on…
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...

Looking out at the undulating hills of Chablis, littered with ancient marine fossils, it’s hard not to envision the ocean that once covered this land. Row upon row of Chardonnay vines rise and fall along ridges that roll into the horizon like waves of a massive swell...

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!
