Tenuta Delle Terre Nere
Tenuta Delle Terre Nere
“The Etna is the Burgundy of the Mediterranean,” says the man whose career as an importer of fine Italian wines is legendary. Marc De Grazia is one of the original ‘Barolo Boys,’ and his beloved Tenuta delle Terre Nere was more than 20 years in the making. Today, he farms 29 parcels on the northern flank, and his portfolio of wines is the gold standard for Etna wine.” -Wine Advocate
Really, the fact that Etna is a wine producing region at all is miraculous.
Gerard Boulay – Sancerre Sale 8-28-24
“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.
