Wine Spectator: 97 Points Loaded with mango, quince and fig fruit that works harmoniously with green almond, floral and mineral notes. Terrific creamy texture hides the latent acidity while the flavors glaze your palate on the finish. Both pure and...

Wine Spectator:  96 Points Unctuous, concentrated and refined, this holds a large core of quince, creamed Anjou pear and white ginger notes in reserve for now, while heather, chamomile, orange blossom and white peach flavors take the lead. When the...

Importer Notes:  If you’ve ever wondered what a wine “fit for a king” tastes like, this is one of those. It’s a funny thing with these Brézé wines that the first glass can often times leave you wondering if this...

Wine & Spirits: This chenin’s broad flavors of quince paste have a fresh lanolin note. It’s bold and juicy, with sweetness cut by slightly starchy acidity, the wine’s youthful tension needing bottle age to mellow. (4/2016) Wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 98 Points The 2015 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie is super clear, ripe and aromatic on the nose, highly elegant and with lovely flinty flavors. Intense and concentrated, with great finesse and vitality,...

Wine Enthusiast: 92 PointsThis is the estate wine from this property, owned by the same family for 600 years. It is a rich wine, one that needs to age with its intense green and citrus fruits, a mineral texture and a touch of saltiness at the end. Drink...

Winemaker's Note:Taking its roots deep into the chalk soils of Vouvray, this off-dry wine resonates beautifully in the mouth. Its natural sugar and refreshing acidity blend harmoniously. Aerial and complex, this fruity wine is to be appreciated young,...

Winemaker's Note:The vines are farmed using biodynamic methods and harvested by hand. Gaston Huët believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards. This ancient, walled vineyard has the estate’s shallowest, stoniest soils. The wines...

Second generation winemakers Francois and Manuela Chidaine have pioneered the natural wine movement in the Loire for decades, farming only organically and biodynamically. The duo also encourages the use of cover crops and ‘carbon farming,’...

If you’re like me, you have a house full of wine and nothing to drink!  It’s a First World problem, sure, but a problem nonetheless.  Thank goodness colleagues Frank and Matt are in my life.  They’ve made it their...

Importer's Notes:  The vineyards that make up this charming and utterly delicious wine come from Saumur-Champigny’s most southern hill, Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. Les Terres Rouges is composed of numerous small plots blended into one larger...

From sand and gravel soils this pure Cabernet Franc is the main production of the domaine. The cuvée used to be called 'La Coudraye', but the name change reflects the fact that La coudraye is only one of five parcels on the same slope. Crunchy...

The vineyard located west of Brissac-Quincé was acquired by the Brault family at the end of the 18th century, who have been running the estate since then. In 1951, they were among the first winegrowers to create the Brissac cooperative with whom...

With its bitter almond and kiwi fruit flavors, this is a classic sparkling Vouvray, laced with intense acidity. It's fresh, just off-dry, with concentrated fruit flavors.
