Jerome Prevost- The Meunier Man

Jerome really was the one who put Meunier on the map. He had the idea to make a whole meal of Meunier, a grape usually treated as a mere accent in the traditional Champagne assemblage, far behind Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But Prevost’s tiny parcel was located in the Les Beguines , where Meunier is plentiful, so on top of his renegade spirit, the focus on Meunier was a happy accident for the young Vigneron. He began producing these single vintage, single varietal wines and Voila! …a cult wine was born.

Peyrassol: Historic Provence Rosé
 

Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now

Theorized to have been established for viticulture by the Knights Templar, the Commanderie de Peyrassol estate has been producing wine since their first recorded harvest in 1256. The current iteration however was founded much more recently, with Francois Rigord undergoing extensive renovations to the estate in 1970.
 
The vines planted reflect Provencal wine as a whole, including Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Tibouren (an ancient variety native to the area). Now certified organic and focused on old vines, Peyrassol is at the top of their game. The winery hosts an art museum and sculpture park established by the current owners, the Austruy family, which seems to center around the theme of the Mediterranean sun and the Provencal wilderness—a theme that seems inspired by (and pairs well with) their wines.

Franz Hirtzberger
 

Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now
 
Franz Hirtzberger may not be a household name in the United States, but the name (shared by father, son, and winery) is one of the most important in Austria. Franz Hirtzberger senior studied the vineyards in the Wachau region, identifying some of the greatest terraced terroir in the country. This interest in the terroir led him to co-founded the Vinea Wachau just two years before the 1985 crisis that devastated Austrian wine sales. The organization’s timely foundation helped the Wachau region reestablish itself by enacting strict grape-growing and winemaking standards for its members, much like the VDP in Germany.
 
Hirtzberger familySome of Vinea Wachau’s most important developments include defining the terms Federspiel and Smaragd, eschewing additives such as new oak and chaptalization to preserve the classic dry style of the region, requiring hand harvesting, and defining the region’s boundaries based on traditions dating to the 14th century.

Domaine Tempier Bandol, Provence, France 2021 750ml $59 special, 36+ bottles available
Falstaff 93 Points “Vivid notes of ripe strawberry immediately hit the nose with red-fruited charm, opening up into aromatic notes of summer pudding. The palate is smooth and just as fruity. This is rounded and medium bodied, brimming with that ripe, fresh berry fruit and an ample, full-fruited yet utterly fresh, summery richness.”

Paolo Scavino
 

Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now
 
Scavino familyScavino is one of the truly great estates in Barolo, a region with no shortage of famous names. Despite a recent trend towards a more traditional approach, the wines still skew modernist. Rich and powerful in their youth, the wines are built to age. Their true greatness develops after time in the cellar – something that can’t be said about all of Scavino’s modernist peers.
 
With access to some of Barolo’s most prized vineyards and a winemaking team that embraces the best of both modern and traditional techniques, the Scavino wines are arguably the smartest buys in Barolo today.
 
5% off any 4-8 in-stock wines from Paolo Scavino
