Lavantureux
by Anthony Lynch
With each passing vintage, brothers Arnaud and David Lavantureux further cement their family domaine among the appellation’s most exciting and reliable names. Already a dependable source of grower Chablis when parents Roland and Brigitte began shipping to our shores in the mid-1980s, the estate now enjoys the direction of their two driven, talented sons. In addition to expanding the family’s portfolio to encompass new premier and grand cru sites, the youngsters have enacted changes to vineyard and cellar management resulting in the most pure, precise, expressive wines the domaine has ever released...
Beaujolais
by Will Meinberg
Château Thivin is the perfect starting point for a tour of Beaujolais. This historic fourteenth-century château was purchased by Zaccharie Geoffray in 1877, and since then, the estate and its winemaking practices have been passed down through the six generations of his descendants...

The 2018 vintage marks the fortieth year we’ve imported Domaine Joguet’s rosé, which makes it something of an O.G. in the vastly expanding world of rosé. While new, fresh, and funky rosés arrive on the scene annually, this classic remains one of our most popular. Not much has changed over time: not the old label (one of the greatest old-school labels still in circulation, in my opinion), nor the dark color, nor the resolutely retro dry strawberry and watermelon tang to the juice. I’ll let you in on a couple secrets: 1) given our history and track record with this wine, nearly all of the production comes to us; and 2) the little that remains at the domaine is often bottle-aged for one year and released late for local sales to allow all the complexities within to reveal themselves with time. Don’t be in a rush to drink this down...
Kermit once said...
A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
