“Given the crystalline purity of his Sauvignon Blancs, [Gerard Boulay] has become one of my favorite producers of the central Loire. If you want to know what true Sancerre tastes like, try one of his single-vineyard bottlings. It does not come any better!” – Joel Payne, Vinous

Love French Sauvignon Blanc? So do we! We offer a wide selection from some of our favorite growers, including Gerard Boulay.
 
Gerard Boulay makes some of the best aromatic white wines in France from his vineyards in Chavignol.  This town is the true beating heart of Sancerre and home to top names in the region (including Vatan, Cotat, and Boulay). From his parcels in La Grande Côte, Monts Damnés, and Clos Beaujeu, all of his wines ring with terroir and the unique minerality.

Pierre Bouree et Fils might not be a household name in the USA, but it is one of the many historic producers headquartered in the venerable village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The estate dates back to the mid-19th century. More recently, Pierre Bouree has grown its profile through shrewd purchases, including the acquisition of Clos de la Justice (a monopole), as well as a small plot within the Premier Cru vineyard Les Champeaux.
 
Currently run by Brothers Bernard and Jean-Christophe Vallet, intervention in the vineyard is limited to pruning in the spring and organic compost for fertilizer. Just like their cult neighbor Domaine Dujac, the reds are vinified entirely with whole clusters in foudre and raised in oak for two years.

We love how excited sommeliers and Austrian wine fans get when they see our selections. Outside of liter bottles of lightly sparkling GVs (which are delicious), there’s not a lot of serious Austrian wines that make it to American shelves.

That’s why it seems shocking to point out that Austrian winemakers produce some of the greatest wines made anywhere in the world. They count among their ranks such luminaries as FX Pichler, Gobelsburg, Nikolaihof, and Brundlmayer.
 
Despite the love of diehard fans, the wines don’t receive the attention they deserve. Were these from France, these biodynamic, single-vineyard, Grand Cru, food-friendly, cellar-worthy, and ridiculously underpriced gems from thousand-year-old wineries would be three times as expensive. These are the best value in luxury whites in the world.
