A Fresh Release from an Iconic Estate: López's Bosconia 2012 Reserva Rioja

Though comparing Rioja to Burgundy is like comparing apples to oranges, there's no arguing that clay and limestone soils impart something very special to a wine; Bosconia evokes the supple fruit and heightened minerality of the latter. The 2012 has just been released, and it’s another terrific wine from a most iconic winery.

Simply Delicious Cabernet Franc for a Song: Amirault's Bourgueil Côte 50

Côte 50 is the Amirault family's entry-level Bourgueil, the kind of Cabernet Franc you might get, slightly chilled, at a nice bistro and enjoy with anything from moules frites to a burger. But Amirault is among the best producers in the Loire, so even their entry level wine falls into the "all that and so much more" category.

A Very Special Rosé from One of the Greats: Château Pradeaux's '23 Bandol

Among the oceans of rosé that are now produced in every corner of the wine world, we admire most those producers who have been around since before the rosé craze began, and have never felt any pressure to change their recipe. The rosés of Clos Cibonne come to mind. Another one is Pradeaux’s.

Dunites' Unadorned, Cool-Climate Cali Pinot and Chardonnay

The Dunites wine project was established in 2015 by the husband-and-wife winemaking team of Tyler Eck and Rachel Goffinet Eck. They like, but do not overuse, whole-cluster inclusion, as well as gentle pigeage, lees aging, neutral oak and minimization of sulfites. Their wines represent everything new and fresh and modern about today's Central Coast style.

Silky, Supple Beaujolais from an Under-the-Radar Cru: Thillardon Vibrations

Paul-Henri Thillardon is one of the finest wine-growers in Beaujolais, making wines with an irresistible balance of ripe fruit, crunchy acidity, and mineral verve. They are the embodiment of joy in a glass.

It’s no surprise that the wines are quite special, because Paul-Henri had some pretty iconic mentors: Yvon Métras and Jean-Louis Dutraive.

A Stunning, Perfectly Mature Hungarian Duo from Lenkey

Dry Tokaji may be obscure today, but we think it’s poised for a breakthrough. The best examples are simply too good, too interesting, and too age-worthy to be ignored much longer. And it’s hard to think of better examples to hold up than these two stunningly complex 2006 library bottlings from the cellar of Geza Lenkey.

A Fond Farewell to A Beloved Wine: Deschamps' Pouilly-Fumé Finale

Maybe you’ve never tried Deschamps wines, and want to know what they taste like. They are certainly not piercing or thin, qualities which Sauvignon Blanc can sometimes be guilty of. Instead, they are nuanced, relaxed, and generous. Much of this is because of the great soils, mostly kimmerdigian marl, that can be found in the hamlet of Les Loges, one of the best parts of Pouilly-Fumé.

Summer is Coming: Stock Up on Peyrassol's Perfect Provençal Rosés

Wine has been made at Peyrassol for 800 years. That’s a lot of time in which to perfect your recipe. And they've got it down. As New York Times’ Eric Asimov has noted, Peyrassol makes “the archetypal Provençal rosé” wines that are “especially delicious” with an “underlying mineral edge”.

Stunning, Seriously Mineral Sancerre from "Shining Star" Claude Riffault

Today’s wine comes from a single site, ‘Les Boucauds,’ which has kimmeridgian marl soils. The dense, silky-fine texture of the wine is enough to turn heads, but the vivid and intense nature of the wine’s flavors, redolent of lemon, peach, salt and rocks, is pretty shocking, too.

San Leonardo: A Surprisingly Perfect Site for Bordeaux Grapes

San Leonardo today produces one of the greatest Bordeaux blends of Italy, comparable in quality — but not in fame — to Sassicaia. Why is Sassicaia more famous (and so much more expensive)? Is it because it came first? Is it the “Super Tuscan” brand? Is it because the wine is more plush, a bit less edgy, and therefore more appealing to international tastes?

A Perfect Storm of Greatness: 2019 Brunello from Ciacci Piccolomini

Greatness in Brunello di Montalcino meant, for generations, vines located in the original heart of the DOC in and around the village of Montalcino itself. But starting in the 1970s, a group of producers started to discover that just to the southeast of Montalcino, in the commune of Castelnuovo dell’Abate, you could make some very special, and especially elegant, Brunello.
