Lambert de Seyssel
France | Savoie, Bugey, Hautes-Alpes | Seyssel
From a village in the French Alps with a reputation for floral-scented charmers.
Didier Meuzard
France | Burgundy | Ratafia de Bourgogne
The result is aromas of earth, red Burgundy, and fresh fruit, with only the slightest hint of the fine, which stays in the background and lets the fruit do the talking.

Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet
France | Beaujolais | Régnié
Here is a rich, bold Régnié, saturated with luscious fruit and earthy spice.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet
France | Beaujolais | Régnié
The high-toned nose suggests an absolutely electric wine, full of delicate florals and tart berries, and the juice hits the palate like a dreamy cloud of Gamay.
Château Fontanès
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint-Loup
Maybe it’s the biodynamic farming, but these wines always seem to have an extra gear when it comes to aromatics and sheer deliciousness.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
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.
Château Fontanès
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays d’Oc
Melony, snappy, bright, and clean, this is a delightful everyday white with a refreshingly different flavor profile.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet
France | Beaujolais | Morgon
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.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet France | Beaujolais | Morgon

Grab the decanter, let the wine breathe and evolve at the table, and experience what’s beyond the limits of pink.

Domaine Maestracci
France | Corsica | Calvi
Fresh, salty, and citrusy all at once—an instant crowd pleaser, and one of Corsica’s top value whites.
Jean-Paul et Charly Thévenet
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
Charly Thévenet and his father, Jean Paul, now bottle a range of five different wines in their cellars in Villié-Morgon

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

Sesti
Italy | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino

Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
A remarkably graceful rouge from one of our favorite appellations in southern France.
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
Shows a kinship with the northern Rhône, echoing aromas of black olive and violets.
Masseria del Pino
Italy | Sicily | Etna Rosso
This rosso shows a softer side of Etna, with all the volcano’s wild aromatics but none of the edgy tannins or high alcohol.
Grange Saint-Sauveur
France | Loire | Vin de France
The fruit is concentrated, deep, and pure, suggesting wild brambles and tart blackberries, along with an earthy, spicy component and hints of cedar. It has the levity to offer immediate pleasure, along with the complexity and structure to age well for a few years.
Grange Saint-Sauveur France | Loire | Vin de France

If Hermitage were grown in the Provençal Alps...

Contrary to the usual rough and tannic reds of the far-reaching Côtes de Provence appellation, this is fresh and lively! A gem hidden in the hills.
