New Arrivals from Cave Mont Blanc

Perfect for Spring

Cave Mont Blanc was founded in the early 1980s with the stated purpose of reviving abandoned vineyards within Italy’s picturesque Valle d’Aosta. Located in the shadow of Mont Blanc, the area features some of the highest elevation vineyards in all of Europe. Few machines are capable of working such extreme topographies – needless to say, they’re seldom employed within the region.

Weeknight Right Bank Bordeaux

Esprit de Pavie

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a healthy splash of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Esprit de Pavie is a classically framed Right Bank red. Approachable in its youth, this is Bordeaux that doesn’t require decades of patient, offering immediate rewards -especially when paired with grilled meats and other hearty dishes. The product of what many consider to be Bordeaux’s finest vintage of the decade, this is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a new weeknight red.

Produttori del Barbaresco is revered for producing classically-styled Barbaresco and Riservas of uncompromising quality and transparency. It’s a miracle that these wines are still affordable and available, especially when compared to the skyrocketing prices of Barolo. You’d be hard-pressed to find such consistent quality and complexity out of such an extensive range of single-vineyard Nebbiolos anywhere else.

“Just as I had expected, 2016 has turned out to be a truly magnificent vintage.
