Pelle 2018 Salon Rouge Morogues
100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
Pelle 2019 Menetou- Salon Morogues
Made from several parcels in the village of Morogues. Practicing organic, soils are plowed and completely hand-harvested. Aged in a combo of 70% tank and 30% wood (foudres and used 400L barrels) and for 11 months.
A classic style that is released ready to drink. Quite aromatic on the nose with a rich and powerful palate, quite full bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc and makes a great alternative to Sancerre.
Vaudon Pineau De Charentes
Pineau des Charentes Blanc boasts a golden amber hue with a rich and round bouquet. Aromas of dried fig, vine blossom, and vanilla from its 18-month French oak aging invite you in. On the palate, it delivers a smooth blend of floral notes, honeyed sweetness, and a touch of almond, creating a balanced and complex flavor profile.
Ideal as an aperitif or paired with desserts, this Pineau des Charentes offers a delightful and versatile tasting experience. Its harmonious blend of fruity, floral, and nutty elements ensures a satisfying finish.
Mejean 2019 Graves
Roally 2020 Vire-Clesse
"The 2019 Viré-Clessé is a cuvée predesigned to be what you might call a consumer-friendly Mâconnais from less noble terroirs. I can see how the bouquet would instantly entrance the casual drinker with clean and pure red apple and lime cordial scents. The palate is rounded, not soft, but mouth-filling with lime and Clementine notes. Not long, but very drinkable."- Neal Martin, Vinous, 2021
Champault 2022 Sancerre Côte de Champtin
Born from 50-year-old vines rooted deep in the clay-limestone soils of the Côte de Champtin vineyard; this wine brings both wisdom and energy to the glass. Fermented and aged in 400L barrels, with a little lees-stirring magic, it’s full-bodied but far from heavy, think richness with a refreshing twist. Bursting with aromas of juicy tropical fruits, it’s the kind of wine that makes you pause mid-sip. As it lingers, a whisper of hazelnut sneaks in on the finish like dessert, but better. Prefect with foie gras, saucy fish dishes, roast chicken, or anything that deserves a little upgrade on your plate.
