Aubuisieres Cuvee de Silex
$27.99
Formerly known as Domaine Bernard Fouquet, until Bernard retired in 2021, handing the reins to Charles Lesaffre. Charles is the grandson of Gérald Bruley des Varannes, the man from whom Bernard's father André acquired his first vineyards, thereby bringing the story of the Domaine full circle. An avid practitioner of viticulture and oenology, Charles joined Bernard as an associate in 2019. Two years into his tenure, Charles has emphasized organic and biodynamic practices. Charles has continued, as Bernard before him, to capture the unique Vouvray mineral tones, along with the wonderfully balanced expression of fruit of the Chenin Blanc grape, in his wines.
The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from fifty year--old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley. Soils for 'Cuvée Silex' are exclusively flint stone (silex in French means flint), imparting a smoky, mineral essence to the wine. Look for a bouquet of pear, green apple, quince, and melon that develops notes of mineral and honey. The wine is ever so slightly off-dry, which lends it a juicy freshness. Expressive and exceptionally well balanced on the palate with lots of lemon and a trace of anise. Great with turkey, spicy Asian dishes and salmon.

Viticulture has been a centuries-old tradition in their family, and for several generations we have dedicated themselves to perfecting and learning from the land and the vine. In 1997 they expanded their facilities and moved to a new winery built in the upper part of Villabuena. They preserve the tradition and the artisan concept that was breathed in the first winery and bet on innovation as the basis of their wines.

Le Clos des Cazaux Prestige Gigondas
$66.99
The Le Clos des Cazaux estate has been a family property focused on viticulture for five generations since Gabriel Archimbaud, an ancestor, was one of the first to produce wines from Vacqueyras in 1947. It is now owned and operated by brothers Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. They farm 35 hectares, 20 in Vacqueyras and another 15 in Gigondas. They own mostly low-yielding hillside vineyards, fashioning high-quality white wines, rosés, and red blends. Their Gigondas vineyards are situated in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail massif range that has been in the family since the 1950s. This very special terroir benefits from the solar power of the southern slope, balanced by the cool nights at higher altitudes, mostly on clay soils. The reds are blended primarily from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. however, they include lesser-known grapes such as Aubun, Counoise, Cinsault, Muscardin and Carignan. The white wines mainly employ old-vine Clairette, complemented by Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and a little Viognier.
Sommerach Silvaner Trocken
$29.99
The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach have had one credo which they have abided by since the winery was established in 1901: Unity is strength. At the beginning of the 20th century, 35 families, all steeped in viticulture for generations, came together out of economic necessity and founded Winzer Sommerach. Since then, a common vision has determined the path of these wine-growing families. Today they pay tribute to all the families out of respect, who, despite an uncertain future, have established the oldest wine cooperative in Franken. An imposing northward-facing stone gable from the old days continues to characterize the old town, reminding the winemakers of their roots, which informs their actions today. The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach are steeped in tradition, but at the same time, they are open-minded and innovative. The past is linked to the future at this winery. Fast-moving trends are passed over in favor of sustainable methods. Even if “genuine craftsmanship” sounds like a concept from the distant past, it perfectly describes the approach of the 90 winemaking families to their work, and is a guarantee of lasting success. This philosophy has passed from generation to generation, with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, driving ambition to be among the best in the industry, and lastly, love of the work. This dedication to the art of winemaking is what makes the estate of Winzer Sommerach truly unique. The skill of the winemaker in conjunction with the terroir are responsible for the quality of a wine, and the winemakers are very grateful to be able to continue the work of their founding fathers with great potential for the future.
Rockford Semillon
$56.99
Robert O'Callaghan is a winemaking pioneer in Australia's Barossa Valley. His wines are so popular, most sell out at the winery before they have a chance to make it overseas. This wine faithfully reflects the contribution made by the Sibley and Kalleske families. Their skill and devotion to their soil helps give the Barossa its strength, stability and soul. Local Growers Semillon has the ability to age and is perfect slightly chilled with grilled seafood, fresh garden salads or with a roast Barossa chicken. A wine that invites itself to lunch.
Marie Courtin Prestance
$239.99
The champagnes from Marie-Courtin are truly something special. An ultra-fine, elegant style with amazing freshness. Delicate and racy, yet absolutely unique in style thanks in part to biodynamic viticulture. All her grapes are grown in a single plot of 2.5 hectares, which is also the total size of the domain that Dominique Moreau founded in 2000. Because all her wines come from a single vineyard, she has decided to emphasize the differences in champagnes through vinification. There are wines matured in barrique, amphorae, enamel tanks and one without sulfur. All come from the 2.5 hectares of single vineyard on the Kimmeridge marl soil of the Soden, on the Côte des Bar. Winemaker Dominique Moreau, who named the estate after her grandmother, is a master of purism. Her champagnes are delicate and elegant, yet with underlying power and a high degree of drinking pleasure.
