Benoit Daridan, Cheverny Rouge 2019

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Pinot Noir and Gamay

Benoit Daridan took over the family winery in 2001 after many years of study and work experience around the world. As the seventh generation to take over the small 15 hectare farm, Benoit has worked tirelessly to protect and promote the family traditions of passion for the regions terror. The vineyard is perfectly positioned between arguably the Loire Valley’s most two most famous properties: Chateau de Cheverny and Chateau de Chambord. While most of the vineyard is made up of young vines, they do pride themselves on a tiny two hectare plot of 50 year old vines.

You would think this wine was from the region of Burgundy based on its blend and style, but it is a fresher, possibly softer version coming from similar soil types in the ancient Loire Valley. It is mostly Pinot Noir with a little Gamay added; a Loire version of the Burgundy Passetoutgrain.

Catherine et Pierre Breton, Bourgueil Les Perrieres 2014

$60.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

As the wine world talks about Catherine and Pierre Breton, one will hear them referenced as "real life bon vivants vignerons." I love this description so much as it perfectly captures the soul of this married couple. From the beginning, they have truly wanted to have fun in life and to make unadulterated natural wines long before the hipness of the natural wine scene took hold. Recently, they started the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. In fact, they have become international icons for the natural wine movement in an area where the climate and soil can make organic practices difficult. They are based in Bourgueil in the Loire Valley and have an impressive spread of vineyards ranging in soils and vine age. One might say the innovative couple is well ahead of the game and doing it with charm and grace.

“Les Perrieres” comes from 70 year-old vines from one of the most prized hillsides in Bourgueil; the Bretons’ greatest red. This Bourgueil is low-yielding due to the 40 year old vines. The wine spends two years in 550 liter barrels, some of which are new.

Grolleau is one of the varieties from the Loire Valley simply flying under the radar. It is light and fruity, not unlike Gamay. This comes from 60 year old vines and is treated similarly to Beaujolais as it undergoes three weeks of carbonic maceration.

Domaine de la Butte, Bourgueil Le Haut de la Butte 2018

$43.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a rising star in the French and international wine scene. He produces his wine with true vision and no sacrifice, two attributes rarely seen in the commercial wine world today. While working as a wine broker in the Loire Valley, Blot came into contact with a winemaking family no longer capable of caring for their land. Believing the site needed to be respected and shown to the world, his inner voice urged him out of his office and into the vineyards. From this beginning, in 1989 he has since expanded his lands to include parcels in Vouvray, Montlouis, and Bourgueil. Though just across the river from Vouvray, Montlouis does not have the strong market grip of its neighbor. However, its vineyards and age of vines can produce wines that outshine just about anything.

Coming from the “top of the mound,” this Cabernet Franc hails from Jacky Blot’s other estate winery, Domaine de La Butte in the Bourgueil appellation. The vines are roughly 35 years planted to clay and silex soil over limestone. The wine spends time in a mix of cement and older barrels.

Julien Braud, Val de Loire Pinot Noir 2020

$18.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Pinot Noir

You have to give a clap to Julien Braud for his ambition and ingenuity for pushing his family forward. Many growers for years in this part of France sold their fruit and farmed with more mechanical means. This farming is changing, and Julien is one of the rising stars who has built something special from his family's land. With only 18 acres—and around 12 of those going into vineyards—this estate is very boutique. Julien farms by horse and uses only natural yeasts for the fermentation. The wines age in glass-lined, buried cement vats in the ground. It is impressive to see this level of dedication to winemaking with wines produced at an incredible value and quality.

This is one of the Loire Valley’s biggest red varieties that often flies under the radar. In the Muscadet region, while Pinot Noir is grown there, it doesn’t fit under any specific appellation. Thus, it gets the Vin de France labeling. This Pinot is aged for just six months in stainless steel before it is ready to drink in all of its fresh fruitiness.

La Croix de Chaintres, Saumur-Champigny 2018

$23.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Hailing from the central Loire Valley comes the small standout appellation of Saumur Champigny. Named for the city of Saumur and the village of Champigny, it’s nestled between Bourgueil, Chinon, and Anjou. This is an area famed for its Cabernet Franc, but Saumur Champigny is an exception to the typical style. The wines are less rustic and tannic, more light and fresh. Instead of ageing in concrete, this Cabernet Franc ages in stainless steel tanks. The screw-cap closure allows the wine to retain its freshness, instilling its drink-me-now mentality. The history of the La Crois de Chaintres began four generations ago; father Paul and son Frédrik built up this estate to where it is today. Frédrik continues to steer the winery in a more natural direction; he employs sustainable farming and has converted more than half of the vines to organic practices.

La Pepiere, Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine Sur Lie La Pepie 2020

$17.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Melon de Bourgogne

Marc Ollivier is the face behind Le Pepiere, at least he was until the 2019 vintage when he retired. His journey in winemaking comes from his venture as a winemaker and the uniqueness of the Muscadet region has shaped the identity of the domain. The region is known for quite a bit of bulk production and many of the winemakers are negociants. The mark of their style comes from their efforts to produce single vineyard cuvees which effectively show off the variety of soil types. They take things even further by making bottles with extensive lees ageing, sometimes up to five years! Their wines are benchmark for the region and you can’t beat the price!

This is Muscadet at its very best. The wine is crisp, clean, and mineral-driven with a bit of the lees ageing coming through adding richness. This is one of the most ideal wines with fresh shellfish as the appellation of Muscadet sits at the mouth of the Loire River Valley near the ocean. The vineyards are planted above layers of fossilized seashells.

La Pepiere, Vin de Pays du Val de Loire Cot La Pepie 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cot (Malbec) & Merlot

Marc Ollivier is the face behind Le Pepiere, at least he was until the 2019 vintage when he retired. His journey in winemaking comes from his venture as a winemaker and the uniqueness of the Muscadet region has shaped the identity of the domain. The region is known for quite a bit of bulk production and many of the winemakers are negociants. The mark of their style comes from their efforts to produce single vineyard cuvees which effectively show off the variety of soil types. They take things even further by making bottles with extensive lees ageing, sometimes up to five years! Their wines are benchmark for the region and you can’t beat the price!

La Pepiere has 43 hectares of vines, though only three of them are devoted to red grapes. In fact, Muscadet does not allow red grapes, so this bottle gets the Vin de Pays classification. The juice is aged for five months in steel and made for immediate drinking.

Les Equilibristes, Cotes Du Forez Volut 2019

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Gamay

Les Équilibristes are the tightrope walkers. They walk a daring path where their rules are straightforward and singular though their focus brings together several grape varieties over several French wine growing regions. The entire concept was imagined by two minds heavily rooted in the wine world, something they’ve dubbed “Winemaking 2.0.” It allows a network of creativity to be shared and manifested. Francois de Monval is the “wine merchant” while his partner Florent Girou is the “travelling oenologist” and winemaker. The wines are natural at their core, but showcase the importance of creating relationships and collaborating.

“Volute” comes from a lesser known appellation called Côtes Du Forez that resides on the upper areas of the Loire River. It is closer in proximity to Beaujolais (and its style) than the other Loire appellations while using the Gamay variety. The fruit is farmed by a grower whose vineyard is certified biodynamic.

Taille Aux Loups, Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos de Mosny 2018

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Chenin Blanc

Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a rising star in the French and international wine scene. He produces his wine with true vision and no sacrifice, two attributes rarely seen in the commercial wine world today. While working as a wine broker in the Loire Valley, Blot came into contact with a winemaking family no longer capable of caring for their land. Believing the site needed to be respected and shown to the world, his inner voice urged him out of his office and into the vineyards. From this beginning, in 1989 he has since expanded his lands to include parcels in Vouvray, Montlouis, and Bourgueil. Though just across the river from Vouvray, Montlouis does not have the strong market grip of its neighbor. However, its vineyards and age of vines can produce wines that outshine just about anything.

“Clos de Mosny” is the Montlouis equivalent to his Vouvray-bottled “Venise.” The site is a monopole one, meaning simply that Jacky Blot owns and farms the site as a solo operation. The vines are 40-50 years in age. The soils here are most ideal for Chenin with sandy clay above pure limestone. The wine ages in a mix of barrels, 20% of which are new.
