On Sale Now!
 

The Rheingau was once considered Germany’s finest winemaking region before falling into obscurity itself in the previous century. Today, interest and investment has brought the region back into the limelight. Quality-focused estates are becoming, if not common names among the average wine drinker, better known among insiders. The German wine association, the VDP, has also helped promote the region and its mostly-dry wines.
 
One such estate is benefiting from renewed interest in the region and dry Rieslings: J.B. Becker. Despite crafting ultra-long-aging dry or mostly dry Rieslings from his family’s estate for over 50 years, wasn’t until recently that the name became known among Riesling fans. Founded in 1893 by the grandfather (Jean Baptiste Becker) of the current owner (Hans-Joseph Becker or HaJo), this small estate is tucked away in the Rheingau.

Grower Champagne On Sale Now!
 

“It’s the viticulture that makes the difference, not the vinification.” -Pascal Doquet
 
With an eye towards thoughtful, organic farming, Pascal Doquet epitomizes grower Champagne. Not only does his estate encompass some of the finest terroir in all of Champagne in the illustrious Côte des Blancs, his organic-certified parcels boast significant amounts of old vines. His resulting Champagnes are a magnificent tribute to his masterful and conscientious farming.
 
Since 1982, Doquet has worked his family’s estate alongside his parents. He took over completely in 1995 and began rolling out more environmentally-friendly practices under the French concept of lutte raisonnée. His passion for the vineyards and for his sustainable farming methods came to a head in 2004, when his sister forced the break-up of the family estate, Doquet-Jeanmaire, to farm more conventionally.
