Benoit Daridan, Cheverny Rouge 2018

$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 region's terroir. The vineyard is perfectly positioned between arguably the Loire Valley's two most famous properties: Château 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. The appellation of Cheverny is almost unheard of, so we seize the chance to offer wines from lesser known areas that still deliver exceptional quality.

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.

Domaine de la Butte, Bourgueil Le Pied de la Butte 2019

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Jacky Blot is a restless man in the Loire Valley. He first founded Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in 1989, focusing on site specific Chenin Blanc in the Montlouis appellation near Vouvray. For his second chapter in the Loire winemaking world, Jacky Blot began Domaine de la Butte in 2002. He has been on the fast track to making quality Cabernet Franc from four different vineyard sites in the Bourgueil appellation. Now his son Jean-Phillipe Blot has taken much of the workload, having begun working for his father since he was just sixteen years old. These wines are pure examples of terroir expressed over a glass of Cabernet Franc.

Coming from the “foot 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.

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.

Le Rocher des Violettes, Montlouis-sur-Loire Touche-Mitaine 2018

$22.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Chenin Blanc

Young, upcoming winemaker Xavier Weisskopf founded Le Rocher des Violettes in 2005 after studying winemaking in Chablis and Beaune. He then went to work for the hard-working and demanding Louis Barruol at famed producer Chateau de Saint Cosme in Gigondas. Xavier's love for Chenin Blanc drew him to Montlouis in the middle Loire, where an underappreciation of this historic appellation allowed him to acquire nine hectares of sacred old vine sites mostly planted pre-WWII!. He immediately converted the farming of all his vines to certified organics, with the aim to allow these precious old vines to speak.

He achieved his goal in the 'Touche-Mitaine' bottling from a single parcel of 35+ year old vines resulting in a racy, intense, and focused Chenin Blanc.

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.
