Flatiron Wines & Spirits NY

Chorey-lès-Beaune is a classic insiders village. A bit overshadowed by the more famous terroirs in Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune, the wines in Chorey just don’t get enough love. Which makes no sense! The vineyards in Chorey are loaded with limestone, and a great vigneron can make wines of great depth, poise, and elegance.

Nozay, like any producer this focused on terroir, is fanatical about their farming (organic and biodynamic) and hands off in the winery (they ferment with native yeasts and without additives). They even experiment with terracotta vessels to try to find the best way to let the wines evolve fully into themselves.

Pierre Péters is one of Champagne’s most recognizable names, and one of its most famous Growers (Check out our handy guide to Grower Champagne). The estate is named after current proprietor Rodolphe Péters’ grandfather, and the family has been working vines in the Côte des Blancs’ best terroirs for nearly two centuries.
