Lower ABV From just outside Carcassonne in Limoux, a super fresh and nicely weighted no-oak Chardonnay value. Done all in steel, it serves up crisp green apple, tart peach, and crunchy yellow pear fruit with hints of white flowers... Read More
A wonderfully creamy, fresh and dry bottle of bubbles for all purpose sipping and celebrating. Plenty of toasty, bread-dough, accents to the crisp, white, fruit. A bargain!

Organic/Bio This used to be called “Pinot d’Alsace” meaning a white from all four Pinots: Noir, Gris, Blanc, and Auxerrois, but someone complained and now it’s “Points Cardinaux.” No matter.... Read More
Lower ABV This does just what good Languedoc Chardonnay is supposed to do: give you a nice dollop of Chardonnay varietal flavors with no oak or butter to get in the way of thirst-quenching delight. You’ll enjoy the sliced... Read More
The hills above Carcassonne enjoy full-on Languedoc sunshine and heat but also the kind of cool sea breezes that help shapes Bordeaux. The grapes are “Mediterranean” Grenache and Syrah and “Atlantic” Cabernet... Read More
Vines were already planted here in 1466 when Jehan de Las Symas purchased them from a neighbor based in Saint Emilion (just a few miles away). Today Jean de Boigne continues his family's 160+ year stewardship of the grapes... Read More
Sometimes the trick to making something traditional is to do something not very traditional at all. Classic Provençal rosé is light, airy, full of tangy berry fruit and refreshing wild herb flavors, and all the way... Read More
Lower ABV A wildly delicious warm-weather and party white from equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier from France’s southern Rhone Valley. It’s more fruit-filled than floral, showing Sauvignon’s white and yellow... Read More
Lower ABV Sometimes a wine built for fun turns into a bit more than that. Nicolas Lassagne created this 50/50 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon, no-oak, blend to have a fruity, refreshing, option for summer sipping. Sauvignon gives juicy... Read More
Lower ABV Just straight-ahead, classic, bone dry, Melon de Bourgogne with a touch of amplitude and texture from time spent “sur lee” after fermentation. Granny Smith apple, green melon and lime zest aromas and flavors... Read More
Here’s a terrific, hand-crafted, Bordeaux with big fruit, a velvet mouthfeel, and wide-open personality that invites enjoyment with summer cookouts and more elegant dinners, too. It’s about 85% Merlot plus Cabernet... Read More
An excellent take on old-fashioned Bordeaux, clean and fresh like a modern wine but also stylishly austere and restrained. The 30-50 year old Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%) vines are mainly on clay/limestone soils but with... Read More
This is the kind of wine Bordeaux does so well: rich, attractive fruit, a bit of density and then a nice herb-laced kick on the finish. The 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot gives the wine a fine structure and blackcurrant... Read More
A classic “burger Bordeaux” built to make everyday sipping just a touch more special. It’s around 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet and delivers classic Bordeaux aromas and flavors of black and redcurrant fruit with... Read More
Christophe Pinard took a different path to crafting this plump and easy-drinking Bordeaux Merlot. From a family of Cognac winegrowers, he came to Bordeaux in 1991, purchased 30 acres of land, and built himself barns, cellars and... Read More
One of the oldest (and best!) estates in Sainte Croix du Mont, about 40 miles southeast of Bordeaux. Like Sauternes and Barsac, noble rot develops here and brilliantly rich sweet wines are the estate's main focus. But they... Read More
From the heart of Languedoc's Minervois, this is the perfect blend of fruit and savory notes to enjoy with cookouts and parties. Certified organic Syrah and Grenache deliver bold cassis and raspberry flavors at the core with... Read More
France’s Rhone Valley is sunny and hot and tends to give really big, fleshy, mouthfilling Grenache wines that don’t want or need a lot of oak. Here the cold night flowing down Mt Ventoux and more Syrah than Grenache... Read More
Not left bank or right bank, but instead Entre-deux-Mers terroir in your glass. In English it translates into between two seas, which is the geographical area situated between the rivers Garonne and Dordogne in Bordeaux. With... Read More
