Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019
$55.00100% Chenin Blanc. Baudry’s rare Chinon Blanc hails from two small parcels: 0.8 hectares of vines behind the Château de Sonnay (these propagated with cuttings from the vineyards of Domaine Huet); and the eroded limestone of Le Clos Guillot. Vine age is in the 12 to 15 year ballpark. Matthieu Baudry naturally ferments the wine slowly […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 25 2020
$55.00The most angular of Peter Lauer’s wines, but not lacking in intensity or interest. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, spring jasmine, lavender wood, nettles and mint. Direct attack on the palate, very fine and tensile. Terrific poise and power, with a saline note and that spicy grip on the close. Elegant, refreshing style, nothing forced. […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot 2019
$80.00If ever you were in any doubt about the capability of Cabernet Franc to stand alone, you need to taste this wine. Sleek, sappy and firm, with a vigour that forever holds its grip. Black and bramble fruits, Iris, sandalwood, iodine and minerals. Tense and vigorous, tight and coiled; you get the sense that it […]

Bernard Baudry Le Domaine Chinon 2019
$45.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Le Domaine hails from Baudry’s high-sited vines on the plateau above Chinon’s première côte. The lion’s share of the fruit comes from vines with an average age of around 35 years, planted on the local sandy, limestone-rich soils (known as millarges), while between 20 and 30% is drawn from slightly younger vines on gravelly soils. […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux 2019
$60.00The very definition of Cabernet Franc, perhaps with a little blurring of the edges. Cassis and bramble fruit, with a touch of cocoa and kirsch, violet and lavender wood. Focused, sleek and linear, the domain’s trademark. Architectural and sculptured, with a lovely mid-palate stuffing and driving intensity. Not a hair out of place. Claret-esque. Waters […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 6 Senior 2020
$55.00Out of Stock
A richer feinherb than most of us would, with greater depth and texture than most of us would be used to. Medium to full bodied, rippling with juicy ripe fruits, saltbush, mint and lemon preserve. Just off-dry, the depth of the palate is offset by subtle sweetness and the Saar’s rapier acidity. Remarkable wine. Waters […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges 2020
$40.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Les Granges is the Baudry family’s vin de bistro—a delicious, entry-level Cabernet Franc designed for early drinking. It comes mostly from the Estate’s younger vines (planted between 1985 and 1988) grown on the alluvial gravel soils of the terraces by the river Vienne. This is a terroir that loves long periods of dry and […]

Peter Lauer Petit Ayl Riesling Auslese 2018
$105.00Based on overripe and raisined grapes mostly from the Scheiterberg, the 2018 Auslese Petit Ayl is super ripe, intense and generous but clear and piquant on the nose where lemon zest and flinty notes intermingle. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, piquant, refreshing and very digestible Auslese with an intense, lemon-fresh and piquant finish. […]
