Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup has quite the legend following it. In medieval times, there were three lords of the Languedoc entranced by the beauty of a princess. She vowed to give herself to the most gallant, Christian man. The lords traveled to Jerusalem on a crusade to defend the tomb of Christ; upon returning, they discovered the princess’ death. In their grief, they each retreated to nearby mountains, living their lives as hermits. “Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup” translates to a hermit dwelling; Saint Loup Peak was named for one of the princess’ suitors. The three Ravaille brothers now operate the winery, their family having lived in the Languedoc for over 1000 years. The emblem of three fish not only reiterates the story of the three suitors, but also the fraternal bond of the three brothers.

This cuvee blends together the whites varieties that thrive in this Mediterranean and mountainous area of Pic Saint Loup. Vines range from 15 to 80 years in age. The white is aged in barrels for ten months. Even though the wine is from Pic Saint Loup, white wines have not been granted the Pic Saint Loup AOC designation here, and instead are labeled the regional “Languedoc.”

Martin Texier, Rouviere Blanc 2021

Regular price $36.00 Save $-36.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Clairette and Roussanne

One vision by Martin Texier, two thought-provoking projects; the eponymously named domaine and La Boutanche. Both are delicious and bring a much needed spotlight to under the radar regions. Home base is the Rhone Valley in Saint-Julien-en-St. Alban, sandwiched directly in the middle of the northern and southern rhone. Texier returned home in 2014 after stints in both wine and DJing in NYC. His father, the famed Eric Texier, has clearly influenced Martin, who claims he knew it was ultimately his calling to join his father back home in the vines.

This is both Roussanne and Clairette from the Rhone Valley, trademark varieties of the the Mediterranean. This is a textured white with hints of almond and slightly salty; perfect with seafood.

Railsback Freres, Clairette Blanche 2021

Regular price $35.00 Save $-35.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Clairette Blanche

The story of two brothers: even while still in high school, Eric was already collecting bottles of prized top dollar Burgundy and Chablis, hiding them under his bed when he started college. Lyle’s quest for knowledge landed him in Austria where he met one of his most important friends in the industry, sommelier Rajat Parr. After a decade of restaurant work, Eric returned to Santa Barbara to start his own project, Lieu Dit, inspired by the Loire. Older brother Lyle had also worn many hats in the industry, ultimately landing a job for one of the most esteemed importers Kermit Lynch, leading regional sales. After leading separate lives for some time, the brothers both felt a calling to merge their two paths, which is how Railsback Frères came to be born.

Inspired by the seaside village of Cassis in Provence, this Clairette Blanche takes on a completely waxy, saline and minerally tone. The fruit comes from Nolan Ranch in Santa Ynez. The ageing process is very similar to the Provencal style: wild yeast fermentation and a lengthy time spent in neutral oak.
