Producers
Domaine de Terrebrune
France | Provence | Vin de Pays du Mont Caume
From a region known for creating sometimes burly wines, here is a lower-alcohol, fruit-driven cuvée from declassified Bandol vines.
Quentin Harel France | Beaujolais | Morgon
André & Michel Quenard
France | Savoie and Bugey | Savoie Chignin
With notes of mixed black and red fruit and a spine of minerality, Quenard’s Gamay is crunchier, more aromatic, and more succulent than most bottles you’d find in Beaujolais.
Quentin Harel
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais Villages
Grandes Terres is the bridge from Charron to Quentin’s Morgon and shows some of the best qualities of each.
Quentin Harel
France | Beaujolais | Beaujolais
Floral and irresistibly juicy, with notes of cherries, rhubarb, and pomegranate.
Famille Brunier
France | Southern Rhône | Vin de Pays de Vaucluse
The life of the party at any cookout, picnic, or potluck.
Famille Brunier
France | Southern Rhône | Ventoux
Fragrant aromas of lavender and garrigue, notes of perfectly ripe black cherries, hints of black olive and stones.
Château Feuillet
Italy | Valle d’Aosta | Valle d'Aosta Torrette
True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie
France | Loire | Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil

Domaine de Reuilly
France | Loire | Reuilly
Gently perfumed and full of fresh berries with the bright, stony finish typical of wines from Reuilly
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
A remarkably graceful rouge from one of our favorite appellations in southern France.
Château La Roque
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
There is something timeless to La Roque’s Pic Saint Loup, its herbal bouquet and rich, fleshy texture, all free from any hint of modern trappings.
Mas Champart
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays d'Oc
For the southern red wine fanatic, lover of Bandol and other meaty reds, this wine is a steal. A blend of rustic and peppery grapes like Cab Franc, Carignan, and Syrah, it’s spicy, plummy, and so delicious. A cult favorite of those in the know.
Domaine d’Aupilhac
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc
There is a strangely beautiful harmony between earth, sun, and man.

Real refreshment, plus a serious side and good concentration from old vines in chalky marl soils.
Nicole Chanrion France | Beaujolais | Côte-de-Brouilly
Château Thivin

France | Loire | Bourgeuil
Peppery and bright, earthy and juicy all at once.
Domaine de Durban France | Southern Rhône | Beaumes-de-Venise
Guido Porro
Italy | Piedmont | Barbera d’Alba
These Barbera vines sit in a privileged Barolo site, so there is no shortage of pedigree.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Frappato
The wine builds to a crescendo and leaves the palate stained and saturated with staying power. This is much more than quaffing Frappato. Irresistible.

Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Calabrese
Not an inky, alcoholic bruiser, but rather a thing of ravishing delicacy, defined by mouthwatering black cherry fruit and lively acidity
Baldin
Italy | Piedmont
Exploring the potential of Alto Piemonte, Nebbiolo’s other terroir.
Villa Di Geggiano

Is it possible for a country quaffer to originate under a grand Renaissance villa? This Tuscan red certainly offers evidence in favor of that paradox.
A. & G. Fantino
Italy | Piedmont
Perfumed Nebbiolo fruit and tender tannins encourage pulling the cork just for the sake of quenching one’s thirst.

Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
The perfect combination of tart red fruit, herbaceousness, and graphite earthiness. Try it with this recipe for Grilled Palliards of Beef with Anchovies and Shallots.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
This cuvée comes from their highest vineyard, which rests on a plateau of gravel, sand, and limestone, and it is arguably their best entry point into the charm of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, lithe and less dense than the bottlings from their clay-and-limestone terroirs.
Domaine Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Bourgogne
Classic Burgundian Pinot Noir aromas and flavors, and a deeply fruited and solid core.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie
France | Loire | Bourgueil

Uncomplicated and easy to down, it smells of violets and wild blackberries, and feels soft, plump, and round on the palate.
Cantine Valpane
Italy | Piedmont | Barbera del Monferrato
While it can age for a few more years, its rich, juicy fruit and plump texture make it hard to resist today.
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.
Château Aney
France | Bordeaux | Haut Médoc
A structured, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon for the ages
Château Aney
France | Bordeaux | Haut Médoc
It reminds me of dried tobacco, stones, and black currant, and it should drink well for two decades.
