Producers
Champalou
France | Loire | Vouvray
The most serious and age-worthy of Champalou’s dry wines, it has a depth and richness of flavor that allow it to shine alongside refined cuisine.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
It’s like Corsican Chablis: pure Vermentinu planted in seashell-encrusted limestone.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica
Not quite Rhône-like and not quite Corsican, this has the best of both worlds, with plenty of palate-staining black fruit to boot.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A beautiful example of Biancu Gentile, an heirloom white grape revived from near-extinction by Arena in the 1990s.
Edi Kante
Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
One sip brings to mind a pure, breeziness and salty air.
Edi Kante
Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
You have never tasted Sauvignon quite like this.
Edi Kante
Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
This cool, stony, poised glass of Chardonnay will blossom into something very special, but is already delicious.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata means “smoky caves” and that's exactly what I think about when I swish this around. Grown in volcanic soils, it's a perfect balance between smoky tannins and Sicilian grapes.
Riofavara
Italy | Sicily
Nsajàr is characterized by an enlivening jolt of acidity uncommon to southern climates, along with aromas of gunflint, pine, ginger, and citrus zest.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily
This low-alcohol Etna white shows subtly smoky aroma complemented by notes of yellow fruit, herbs, and wild broom.
Domaine de l’Alliance France | Bordeaux | IGP Atlantique
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Meyer’s 2019 is lovely stuff—fermented dry, full-bodied in style, it shines at table in a multitude of gastronomic settings with kaleidoscopic range.
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace
This Pinot Blanc is weightless, sultry, and lengthy as the day is long.
Yves Leccia
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Leccia's earthy, delicious island-mountain wine is fun, accessible and pairs with anything from fish stew to pasta to lounging in the park.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Aromas of black fruit, graphite, wild herbs, and game over firm, stony tannins. Saturated with flavors of the Île de Beauté.
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
The Clisson’s expressive wet-stone and saline qualities summoned memories of the seaside and lavish oyster-accompanied aperitifs, while its long palate conjured a comparison to never-ending meals.
Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Marsannay
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir with about three years of age is what drinking great Burgundy is all about.
Domaine Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Marsannay
It is pleasantly toasty and slightly nutty, evoking pretty orchard fruit and fresh citrus, with great acidity with a little grip.
Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Marsannay
A white Burgundy quite versatile at table, especially with fowl, pork, and veal.
Edi Kante
Italy | Friuli | Venezia Giulia
Edi’s bottling of the local Malvasia Istriana grape is a delightful way to get to know the wind-whipped slice of Friuli that hugs the Slovenian border.
Domaine Leon Barral
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Faugères
Simultaneously rustic and graceful, dark and light on its feet, this red shows succulent notes of mixed red and black fruit, spices, and leather.
Jean-Claude Marsanne
France | Northern Rhône | Crozes-Hermitage
This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.
Maxime Magnon
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation.
Alex Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Brouilly
A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
Domaine Robert Chevillon
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
Today, awareness of Passetoutgrain has largely faded, but if you look closely in cellars throughout Burgundy, you’ll notice many of the greatest domaines continue to uphold this tradition.
Domaine Lucien Boillot & Fils
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
A rare blend: Pinot fruit from around the village of Gevrey-Chambertin and some from Volnay.
Domaine de l’Alliance France | Bordeaux
Silvio Giamello
Italy | Piedmont | Barbaresco
Rich, ripe fruit with the delicacy and floral notes we love in great Barbaresco.
Domaine de la Tour du Bon
France | Provence | Bandol
This Bandol captures the essence of the Mediterranean. It has lush fruit with hints of rosemary, squid ink, and peppery meaty flavors.
