Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91

"The 2019 Les Varennes du Grand Clos is starting to mellow with an extra year in bottle since I last tasted. It continues to have its soft, welcoming opening, with attractive, pure aromatics: plenty of sweet black fruit and violet alongside a lightly spiced character derived from a small amount of oak. It remains lifted, bright and fresh, with a little pinch of tannins on finish. It continues to exude primary fruit and youthful sass and would benefit from extra time in bottle." -Rebecca Gibb MW

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
