Chateau des Jacques

 
While Burgundy prices continue climbing, Beaujolais is perfectly poised as a good-to replacement. What better way to explore the region than with one of Burgundy’s top producers as your guide?
 
Louis Jadot purchased their Moulin-à-Vent estate in 1996, becoming one of the first major Burgundy houses with significant holdings in the region. Their vineyards including holdings in some of the most famous Beaujolais crus of Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, and Fleurie. These vineyards are notable for their pink granite soils, unique to the region, on which Gamay excels. Since taking over the estate, Maison Jadot has added organic and biodynamic practices, less with a mind towards certification than towards the health and character of each parcel.

Marcus Goodfellow is one of the most talented winemakers in Oregon. We count ourselves lucky to have had a strong relationship with his winery since its early days under the old name of Matello. He is joined by the equally talented and knowledgeable Megan Joy.
 
Their wines showcase their microscopic understanding of the potential in the terroirs of the Willamette Valley. Together, they craft wines that continually improve—both in the cellar and vintage to vintage. We love the wines for their coiled power and Burgundian structure, and we stack them enthusiastically & abundantly in our own personal cellars to adore for decades to come.

Selbach-Oster

 
As the winemaker and owner of Selbach-Oster, Johannes Selbach makes profound and affordable German Rieslings. Because they aren’t showy or extreme and instead lean towards moderate levels of alcohol and residual sugar, the wines are overlooked by reviewers that prefer a more bombastic style. Sure, Selbach could make more opulent wines and rack up points—but he’s not one to cave to trends. As a result, the wines are useful at table. You can drink his delicate and soulful Spätlesen and Auslesen wines with your main course, not just dessert. You’d be shocked at how flexible the bone-dry GGs and ethereal Kabinetts are, too.

Schafer-Frohlich

 
Powerful, mineral-drenched and resolutely bright, Schafer-Frohlich Rieslings are some of the finest white wines in the world, at a fraction of the price of their peers in Burgundy or Alsace. It comes as no surprise that these are some of the most coveted dry Riesling in Germany. Sadly, allocations are tiny and rarely make their way to our shores: Michelin-starred restaurants fight over them and European collectors stash as many in their cellars as possible. Fortunately for us, that didn’t prevent fellow superstar Helmut Dönnhoff from bringing this estate to the attention of the American importer Rudi Wiest.
 
The estate has been family owned and growing winegrapes for over 200 years.
