Guy Larmandier
 

Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, of Larmandier-Bernier, having holdings in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, including in the grand crus villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Avize. The estate is meticulously run (by hand) at this small, independent estate. The moderate yields are harvested by hand, and the grapes undergo gentle pressing and a long settling process on the lees, with native yeast fermentation. The wines rest in in family’s chalk caves, awaiting hand disgorgement before going to market after a period of settling.

Champagne of the Day
 
 
“Of all of the domaines we represent, no other serves more as our cornerstone, stands more in the defense of terroir, and is more intricately interwoven with our own history, than that of the iconic Peyraud family of Domaine Tempier.” – Kermit Lynch (Importer)

Domaine Tempier


Domaine Tempier is Bandol.
 
Best known for its mineral-driven and cellar-friendly rosé, the reds, though, are criminally underrated and underappreciated, especially to lovers of bold, full-throttle wines. They represent the pinnacle of Mourvèdre-based blends that could convince even the most die-hard Rhone lovers to expand their horizons, if only one could manage to convince them to try. That might be the hardest part, but we’ve greased the wheel, so to speak, by placing these wines on our three-day sale, starting now.

Second generation winemaker Pierre Rostaing has taken this famous winery to glorious new heights.

“René Rostaing is one of Côte Rôtie’s most masterful growers.”– Robert Parker
 
Côte Rôtie, a sun-drenched region in the Northern Rhône, produces world-class Syrah wines. Known for their rich, powerful flavors and elegant aromas, these wines are among our very favorite Syrahs and Viogniers in the Rhône, and Domaine Rostaing has remained one of the finest producers in the region. With holdings in some of Côte Rotie’s finest lieux-dits as well as Condrieu
 
Importer’s Note “Historically referred to as the Cote Rotie “Classique”, Rostaing’s Ampodium is elegant, well-balanced and classic!
