Domaine de Marquiliani
France | Corsica | Île de Beauté
A Corsican Red from a Rosé Specialist
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils

This Caillerets features a stony, savory undercurrent, above which float gorgeous notes of strawberries and plums.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy | Volnay
September ’19 Club Chevalier Selection
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.
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.
Giovanni Montisci
Italy | Sardinia
You’d be right to be skeptical of a Nebbiolo from Sardinia, but from a top-notch terroir high in the mountains, it is something else entirely.
Santini Collective France | Burgundy | Vin de France
Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica
Raised in foudres, this red is nuanced, finessed, and coursing with mystical biodynamic energy.
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.
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.
La Basia
Italy | Lombardy | Valtènesi DOC
Fresh fruit, a peppery crunch, bright acidity, and light, smooth tannins.
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.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata’s first release from the “Vigna degli Architetti” delivers deep, ripe fruit with elegance and grace.
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane Rosso
Delicate floral perfume, medium body, velvety tannin.
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy | Santenay
This outstanding Santenay is so expressive, with notes of red fruit, rose petals, peonies, and a touch of spice.
Daniel Chotard
France | Loire | Sancerre
Chotard has crafted a delicious, complex, and elegant rouge that gives many village Burgundies a run for their money.
Mas Champart
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Saint-Chinian
A Syrah-based blend from rocky limestone vineyards—tremendous value!
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy | Rully
Les Champs Cloux fresh, with good acidity, but also among the domaine’s more robust reds.
Château Gombaude-Guillot
France | Bordeaux | Pomerol
Dress-code-not-required Bordeaux, whose velvety tannins and supple structure fit more like soft flannel and worn jeans than a stiff suit jacket and tie
Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Pic Saint Loup
One of the great reds of the Languedoc. Rhône Valley, look out!
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.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Our best value in Patrimonio offers notes of game and herbs over chewy tannins.
Antoine Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
A vibrant tonic akin to a savory brew of muddled stone, wild herbs, and salty sea air.
Domaine Giacometti
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
The Cuvée Sarah, an aromatic mix of roasted, smoking herbs with plenty of tannins to chew on, goes down with pleasure and calls for another round (and a grill).
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.
Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Marsannay
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir with about three years of age is what drinking great Burgundy is all about.
La Marca di San Michele
Italy | Le Marche | Marche Rosso IGP
This red, made from the local Montepulciano grape, is aged in tank and bottle to refine its pleasantly rustic personality.

France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Languedoc Montpeyroux
Proof that a great site and honest farming are key to genuine, long-lived wines.
Domaine Arretxea France | Southwest | Irouléguy
Benoît Cantin
France | Burgundy | Irancy
Medium ruby color, with aromas of sweet cherries and spices, roses, and a grind of the pepper mill.
Barruol / Lynch
France | Northern Rhône | Hermitage
Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy | Gevrey-Chambertin
Treated with the same care as the domaine’s premiers crus, and will certainly age like one.
Domaine Taupenot-Merme
France | Burgundy | Gevrey-Chambertin
Classic Gevrey, with an emphasis on forward fruit and pleasure, great structure as well.
Domaine Leon Barral
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Faugères
Valinière is a monumental demonstration of what happens when respectfully working the earth is not just a job, but one’s whole life.
Domaine Leon Barral
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Faugères
Earthy, meaty, savory, juicy, and powerful, it is a glassful of joyful, soulful goodness.
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.
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily
A radiant and rocky red from a brave little vineyard that stands tall and defiant in the shadow of Mt. Etna’s brooding billow.
Riofavara
Italy | Sicily | Eloro
The Padova family’s Spaccaforno is generous but not heavy, with suggestions of blackberry, licorice, and spice leading to a lively, chalky finish.
Clos Saint-Joseph
France | Provence | Côtes de Provence
If Hermitage were grown in the Provençal Alps...
Barruol / Lynch
France | Northern Rhône | Côte Rôtie
Made from six vineyards that, when blended, showcase the whole of the Côte Rôtie appellation.
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.
Barruol / Lynch France | Northern Rhône | Crozes Hermitage
Clos Canarelli France | Corsica | Corse Figari
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.
Domaine de Fontsainte
France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Hailing from the rugged and windswept hills of Corbières, which teem with garrigue and olive groves, La Demoiselle delivers a glorious taste of the South.
Maxime Magnon France | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
France | Southern Rhône | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir to be enjoyed this winter.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
Drink Later: This is the grandest bottling of Cabernet Franc from one of Chinon’s most outstanding producers.
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.
Villa Di Geggiano
Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico
Broad-shouldered, with hearty tannin and acidity and a dark, earthy quality to its fruit, it is a lumberjack wine that can cut through anything a Tuscan table can throw its way—wild game and aged cheeses are some of our favorites.
Domaine Taupenot-Merme
France | Burgundy | Charmes Chambertin
A classic Charmes, sensual and graceful, with a deep core of concentration.
Alex Foillard
France | Beaujolais | Brouilly
A generous dash of plump, sun-ripened fruit enveloping a granite core.
Catherine & Pierre Breton

A great option when you need to stop your “natty wine” friends in their un-sulfinated tracks. A seriously playful Cab Franc from the masters of vinous fun.
Catherine & Pierre Breton
France | Loire | Bourgueil
This divine red allies the power and finesse one would expect from this great terroir.

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

A rare blend: Pinot fruit from around the village of Gevrey-Chambertin and some from Volnay.
Domaine de la Chanteleuserie
France | Loire | Bourgueil
Such a great value, high quality, old-vine Cabernet Franc, from one of the best Loire producers in our portfolio.
