Producers
Yves Leccia
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
In this bottling from Yves Leccia, the French import Grenache—called Elegante in Corsica—takes center stage, offering fragrant notes of lavender spiced with balmy Mediterranean brush.
Domaine de la Cadette
France | Burgundy | Vézelay
La Châtelaine highlights what may be the best terroir of Vézelay and why this little appellation is on the map in the first place.
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Sylvain crafts this wine as a testimony to the quality Carignan can achieve with low yields from old vines in poor soils.
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
It’s like Corsican Chablis: pure Vermentinu planted in seashell-encrusted limestone.
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.
Château Tertre de la Mouleyre
France | Bordeaux | St-Émilion Grand Cru
Crafted from less than two hectares of organic grapes and vinified in a cramped garage, this is silky Saint-Emilion at its most seductive.
Jean-Baptiste Arena
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A full-throttle Niellucciu from a sun-soaked limestone vineyard in Patrimonio.
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
A thirst-quencher with uncommon pedigree.
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
It fills the mouth with suspicions of honeysuckle and pulpy stone fruits. Try it with this recipe for Warm Potato & Mussel Salad.
Jean Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Morgon
Drink Later: This cuvée shares the satin texture of all Foillard Morgons, and should age similarly well for those willing and able to wait.
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy | Mercurey
It is easy to forget that it isn’t a premier cru
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc Montpeyroux
Fadat’s bottlings from this terroir have proven to be among the most complex and elegant wines of southern France.
Jean Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Fleurie
Light and living, charged with herbs, cranberry, and strawberry.
Maxime Magnon
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Just different and obscure enough to deliver the thrill of introducing someone to a gorgeous wine that is familiar, but new.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Bone dry and perfectly chiseled, this zesty Petites Roches blanc will serve you well alongside a wide range of seafood from raw oysters to seared scallops to grilled sea bass.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
Showing off Cabernet in its most delicate, charming form, rife with aromas of roses, damp earth, and little red berries.
Clos Sainte Magdeleine
France | Provence | Cassis
With a touch of creaminess following the crisp stone fruit, it’s a Mediterranean white in a cashmere sweater.
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy | Bouzeron
Aligoté may actually be an even more precise conduit for Burgundian terroir than Chardonnay.
Domaine Montanet-Thoden
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
Climate, a clay-and-limestone soil, and stainless-steel vinification are the pillars of Valentin’s Galerne blanc, a divine rendition of pure, chiseled Chardonnay, bearing notes of orchard fruit, citrus, and oyster shells
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy
Stylistically, Les Clous is in between La Fortune—lighter and brighter—and La Digoine—the densest and most sappy, characterized by medium weight with more red fruits, smooth but present tannins, and distinctive polish.
Domaine Montanet-Thoden
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
A sneakily serious Pinot Noir.
Domaine de la Cadette
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
This is young Pinot at its best: aromatic, expressive, and a true pleasure to drink.
La Soeur Cadette
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
A thirst-quenching, spirit-lifting, and downright delicious white Burgundy.
Jean Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais-Villages
Silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red berries, and stones.
Domaine du Gros ’Noré
France | Provence | Bandol
This full-bodied rouge, with notes of dark fruit and fragrant garrigue, is built for grilled lamb or pork chops.
Kuentz-Bas
France | Alsace | Alsace
The Kuentz-Bas Alsace blanc is a blend of Sylvaner, Pinot Auxerrois, Chasselas, and a touch of Muscat.
