Château Gombaude-Guillot
France | Bordeaux | Pomerol
I don’t know if it’s the 2016 vintage—considered one of Bordeaux’s greatest of the last decade—or if this wine is in a particularly prime place, but it’s the best bottle of Gombaude-Guillot I’ve ever tasted.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
This is for the adventure seekers. Not because they like to take risks, but because they enjoy the great outdoors and want a wine with character and beauty to enjoy by the campfire.
Château Belles-Graves
France | Bordeaux | Lalande-de-Pomerol
A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins
Château Haut-Lariveau
France | Bordeaux | Fronsac
There is nothing overdone in this chiseled, elegant cuvée made from organically grown and pampered Merlot.
Domaine Leon Barral
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Faugères
This cuvée takes the proverbial “iron fist in a velvet glove” to the next level.
Clos Canarelli
France | Corsica | Corse Figari
Among the greatest expressions of Sciaccarellu being made today.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Given light treatment in the cellar, this wine shows off Cabernet in its most delicate, charming form.
Château Moulin Pey-Labrie
France | Bordeaux | Canon-Fronsac
Divine with lemon and rosemary roasted lamb.
Domaine Catherine Le Gœuil
France | Southern Rhône | Cairanne
This Cairanne bears all of the southern Rhône notes we love and pairs magically with braised oxtails or grilled lamb chops.
