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...

Tasting Notes: This wine is comes from a clay and sediment rich topsoil set on the pure white limestone bedrock on one of Saumur-Champigny’s coolest microclimates, St.-Cyr. The wine matches clearly its terroir with an immediately full mouthfeel...

Winemaker's Note:A deep and vibrant color. On the nose, subtle floral essences and tasty aromas of jammy apricot sets the tone of this wine. The palate is creamy and pure and a beautiful balance of Chenin, with aromas of rhubarb and a spicy finish. Wine...

Tasting Note:Dry white wine, grown in sandy and alluvial gravel soils. An intensely aromatic expression of the sauvignon grape variety, with citrus and smoky notes.Lively, precise and expressive, it is a springtime wine.

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...

Entirely hand-harvest from 70 year old vines grown on Sancerre's great "Les Monts Damnés" which roughly transaltes to the "damned mountain".  Fermented using only indigneous yeasts and no use of oak.

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 Note:François Chidaine worked alongside his father Yves for many years, and today he devoutly manages an estate blessed with vines between 40 and 80 years old. For years he was a leader first in organic and then in biodynamic farming...
