Foillard's Oft-Imitated, But Never Duplicated, Beaujolais-Villages

Some Beaujolais-Villages locales make wines that are light and easy-going, much like Beaujolais AOC. But others are up in the hills with mineral-rich soils, and make wines more like the Crus: pretty, with silky fruit and Gamay’s floral aromatics, but with more complexity, minerality, and depth.

Pour Some Paradise in Your Glass: Vignes de Paradis' Charming Chasselas

Dominique Lucas is making perhaps the greatest Chasselas on the planet. Chasselas is a grape without much of a reputation — in the hands of less precise vignerons, it can make oily, unremarkable wines. But from Dominique’s winery, Les Vignes de Paradis, Chasselas is all about delicate texture and mineral rich dimensionality. These are show-stoppers to redefine the variety.

A Tantalizing Taste of New York's History — and its Future — in chëpika

The sparkling wine we're offering today is mouthwateringly fresh with joyful, springing-from-the-glass dark fruit and just a touch of minerality as it finishes clean, crisp, and with satisfying length. It's a pure summer delight. What if we told you it's also made from Concord and Catawba?

An Edges-of-Burgundy Bargain: Garaudet's Gorgeous Old-Vine Monthelie

We've been drinking the wines of Garaudet for many years, and have long admired them for their excellent value. But in our most recent tasting of the wines, something was different. And the difference was very positive.

Henri Milan's Haru Trio: A Provençal Vigneron Like No Other

How about a trio of naturally-farmed and extremely delicious Provençal wines from a trailblazing family that has been at the center of the natural wine movement for more than 30 years? What if we told you that the wines were the best they’ve ever been? Maybe it sounds too good to be true, but in the case of Domaine Henri Milan, we assure you, it is no dream.

Pélican's Savagnin & Trois Cépages: Burgundian Finesse in the Jura

Guillaume d’Angerville is famous for world class wines from Meursault and Volnay. But the Marquis d’Angerville is no one-trick pony. Several years ago he purchased land in the Jura, including some vines previously tended by revered Jura vigneron Jacques Puffeney. We’ve just received a shipment of wines from Domaine du Pelican, and they are as elegant, precise and delicious as ever.

Raffault's Righteous Rosé: Exuberant Joy Meets Substance

Olga Raffault is best known for red Chinon from the Les Picasses vineyard, an incredibly long-lived, classic expression of limestone terroir through a Cabernet Franc lens. Their most undeniably joyous wine, however, is this rosé.

The Artisanal Side of Tuscany is on Full Display at Podere Le Boncie

Chianti — like Beaujolais or Sicily or the Loire Valley — is a region of incredible terroir where you can still actually buy land and start a winery. Thus, we have had an explosion of biodynamic farming, natural wine-making and other experimentation. Not all of the results are good. But the wines of Le Boncie are truly great.

Sancerre in All But Name? Nozay's One-Off 'Dolium' Is Truly Dazzling

The best deal in Sancerre this year doesn't say Sancerre on the label. In 2020, our pals at Domaine du Nozay were thrilled with the fruit from their top site, the Clos du Nozay, and they put it all into large earthenware amphorae, called Dolium, instead of the usual mix of wood, amphorae and stainless steel.

A Rainbow of Amazing Abruzzo Wines from Tiberio

Tiberio is a father, daughter and son team that got started in 2000 when they were excited to come across some very old vines of the heirloom Trebbiano variety known as Abruzzese, on fields high up above 1000 feet. They have been maintaining these old vines and planting new ones, using selection massale (that is, taking cuttings from the best of the old vines), ever since

Arnaud Lambert's Fan-Favorite Crémant de Loire is Back — Pounce!

Great sparkling wine doesn't have to come from Champagne, but it does have to come from great terroir. Arnaud Lambert has one of the best white wine terroirs in the Loire valley, the iconic hill of Brézé .

Lapierre is Back: The Red Wines You Need for Summer (and Beyond)

Lapierre is Back: The Red Wines You Need for Summer (and Beyond)

Lapierre's Morgon set the wine world on fire. It sparked a revolution in Beaujolais, introduced American palates to lighter, fresher reds, and practically single-handedly birthed the natural wine movement. But the Gamays we'll be drinking this summer are Lapierre's baby wines, Raisins Gaulois and Le Beaujolais.
