Isabelle Garrault is well placed to create the perfect Sancerre.  She’s the ninth  generation Garrault to farm these vineyards which are now over 40 years old, and she displays a delicate touch with her fruit- hand harvesting her...

2020 Matthias & Emile Roblin Sancerre 'Origine'

PRIMA Notes: In addition to this being one of my favorite wines, period, the Olga Raffault Chinon has my vote for the PERFECT red for the summer season. It’s the very definition of finesse, yet there is plenty enough chutzpah to stand up to...

Importer's Notes:  Messanges is an old Loire Valley name for Cabernet Franc. Bertrand is using this line for a Red and Rosé from his younger vines. Vinified for immediate accessibility, they are the perfect introduction to the Pallus style.

Importer's Notes:  Grolleau, a varietal native to Touraine, has played a major part only in Rosé d’Anjou in the past, as it is prone to very high yields. When yields are limited, however, and the vines are very old and cultivated 100...

2020 Vincent Gaudry Sancerre Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes

Winery Notes: Visual: intense pink with almost purple carmine red tintsNose: marked by Pinot Noir, red fruit cake aromesPalate: tannins giving power, ripe grapes and impressions of fresh red fruit with a nice balanceAgeing potential: 2 to 3 yearsA...

Importer's Notes: Produced from equal parts of these varietals, the fruit for this wine comes from Chidaine’s estate-grown, bio-dynamically farmed vineyards located just north of the Cher river between the villages of Montrichard &...

Importer's Notes: Classique styled Loire valley sauvignon from the master of Montlouis and Vouvray. Produced entirely from Chidaine’s biodynamically farmed vineyards around the villages of Montrichard & Chissay-en-Touraine, just north of the...

Importer's Notes: A blend between a parcel from Beaumont-en-Véron with the alluvial soils of the left bank of the Vienne River, along with press wine from all the other cuvées of the domaine. Blend aims to highlight the harmony of...

“La Marâtre” is the name of the parcel just above Nozay’s cellar, which burrows into the side of a gentle south-facing hillside. Cyril’s 15-year-old vines in this relatively rich Kimmeridgian marl—known locally as...

Winery Notes:  Alcoholic fermentation at 20°C in stainless steel vats paused by cooling the wine to keep 22g/l of indigenous residual sugar. It ferments again in bottles to give the effervescence to the wine. Maturing Aged for 18 to 36 months...

Winery Notes: This wine discloses a glistening, straw yellow hue and explosion of fresh citrus fruit on the nose. The palate is mouthwatering, clean and direct with a delicately spicy character complemented by menthol notes which impart exceptional...

2020 Marcel Martin Les Droissy Vouvray Sec 

PRIMA Notes:  The 2020 Touraine Rouge ‘Gravouilles’, is 100% Gamay, fermented in temperature-controlled tanks using whole clusters and carbonic maceration.  The result is a brilliant-hued red wine with pronounced aromas of ripe...

Importer's Notes:  As with the other “C” bottlings from this estate, the grapes for this cuvée are picked a bit more ripe than those for the other basic cuvées. When done for still wines, it tends to make for an off-dry...

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...
