Chablis

 
Classically, Chablis is a crisp white Burgundy, made from Chardonnay vines grown in extremely chalky, limestone soil. With a unique soil composition and a plethora of exceptional sites, Chablis is an essential item for anyone’s cellar. Given the cooler growing season, the wines are more angular than the Côte-d’Or, offering a lifted brightness that makes them excellent pairings with appetizers, lighter pasta dishes, and seafood. For sheer terroir-infused bang for your buck, they’re impossible to beat.
 
With a tremendous amount of variance in terms of flavor expression, the best Chablis are characterized by their high acidity, expansive minerality, and a fruit profile that tends to skew towards citrus and orchard fruit.

“Bernard Baudry is one of the best and most reliable Chinon producers. Les Granges is the introductory bottle, made from young cabernet franc vines, farmed organically, and intended for early drinking. It’s lively, juicy and earthy, and easy to enjoy. It would be especially good with the dark meat and earthy tuber dishes. The Baudry single-vineyard cuvées, like La Croix Boissée and Les Grézeaux, reward aging and are among the best expressions of Chinon.”—Eric Asimov in the New York Times, November 15, 2021 as reported by Kermit Lynch
 
“In each bottling, we seek to express Cabernet Franc in its elegance, balance and aromatic freshness, in harmony with each of the terroirs and the year’s climate.”

Terre Nere

 
Sicily’s Mount Etna is a cherished place. Home to the Burgundy-esque varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, these are gorgeous, terroir-driven wines deeply marked by their volcanic home soils. The two grapes offer layers of spice and high acidity, partly due to being grown on the highest vineyards in all of Europe. One of the finest producers on this volcano is Terre Nere, a domain that offers multiple single-vineyard wines.
 
We have Marc De Grazia to thank to bringing international attention to this stunning region.

The Wines of Christophe Baron

 
We’ve long adored the wines from Christophe Baron. This Champenois-turned-Oregonian more or less put The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater on the map. His Walla Walla portfolio includes Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet, and red blends sourced from Oregon and Washington. Representing the pinnacle of the region’s reds, we’re never surprised when top notch scores are released. No, we’re just pleased as punch that we can continue to offer you these mailing list-mostly gems.
 
Not satisfied with crafting some of the most famous and sought-after wines in Walla Walla for roughly twenty years, Christophe returned to the Marne Valley of Champagne to craft exquisitely mineral Champagnes from his family’s vines.
