Thierry Germain is the winemaker behind Domaine des Roches Neuves and is a modern legend in the Loire, France. This wine is made from Cabernet Franc, fermented in amphora and then aged in old barrels. The result is an elegant wine, but with intense flavor that benefits from a few years in the cellar.

Puech Noble is a project by cult producer René Rostaing. He became known for his Rhône wines, but today he also produces Syrah-based wines in Languedoc; however, today it is his son Pierre who is responsible for the winemaking. Deep flavors of dark berries, spices, and silky tannins make it a perfect wine for grilling.

David Duband is recognized for his elegant red Burgundy wines made from Pinot Noir. This Morey-Saint-Denis is called Les Broc because the grapes come from four different Premier Cru sites within the area: Blanchards, Ruchots, Ormes and Chezeaux. A red-fruited and fresh style of red wine, perfect for summer.

Viré-Clessé is an area in Mâcon in Burgundy, further south than the most classic areas. Domaine des Héritiers was founded by the winemaker of Meursault producer Comte Lafon to create his own project, and the wines were praised immediately. A classic, elegant, and fruit-driven style of Chardonnay!

Champagne Ayala is a house that focuses on elegant and fresh sparkling wines made from the Chardonnay grape. Their Brut Majeur therefore contains mainly Chardonnay and is aged for three years on the lees to achieve the classic, creamy texture while retaining the lively acidity in typical Ayala style.

Domaine du Closier makes wine in Saumur-Champigny in France’s Loire Valley. Winemaker Anatole de la Brosse bought the estate in 2019 and in this short time has already made a name for himself as the next great producer of Cabernet Franc. Something all Loire lovers should keep an eye out for!

Thierry Germain is a modern legend in the Loire, France. Both his white and red wines set the standard for the region. This wine is made from Cabernet Franc and is aged for one year in larger barrels. The result is an elegant wine, but with an intense flavor that benefits from a few years in the cellar.

A champagne from the Chiquet family. Jacquesson 747 is a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. This cuvée has the 2019 base vintage, a year that was difficult for Chardonnay grapes as they were damaged by frost, resulting in a wine with more Pinot grapes and a fuller style, partly thanks to barrel aging.
