                    Summer Refreshment

2024 Luneau Papin Le Verger
On Sale for $22
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine / Loire Valley / France
100% Melon de Bourgogne
The vines for the Le Verger cuvee were planted in 1988 in particularly schist rich soils. This is a salty, stony white intended for matching with shellfish. The wine was aged for 5-6 months in underground tanks.
2023 Poitout Fourneaux 1er Cru
On Sale for $40
Chablis / France
100% Chardonnay
Tucked away behind the Grand Cru’s on the right bank of the Serein river, the 1er Cru of Fourneaux is one of the most important in Chablis. Fourneaux translates as “oven” and indeed this site is among the warmest in the zone. 
2024 Guiraud“G” Blanc
On Sale for $24
Bordeaux / France
50% Semillon, 50% Sauvignon Blanc
Think of the “G” Blanc as a unique expression of Sauternes. Unlike the sweet wines produced from this hallowed appellation, the “G” is vinified dry and aged for just 7 months in oak prior to release. Exotic and tropical, the “G” wins admirers with its rich, plush texture.
2024 Dautel Trocken
On Sale for $20
Wurttemberg / Germany
100% Riesling
A delicate style of Riesling emanating from sandstone based soils, the 2024 Dautel Trocken leads with green and yellow fruit flavors. Fermentation and aging takes place exclusively in stainless steel.
2025 Schloss Gobelsburg Cistercien Rose
On Sale for $20
Kamptal / Austria
Zweigelt, St Laurent, Pinot Noir
Schloss Gobelsberg is the modern day winery located on a site that was originally founded by monks in the early 1000’s. The Cistercien Rose is created from multiple cool sites spread throughout the Kamptal. 
2022 Gros/Tollot L’O de la Vie
On Sale for $30
Minervois / Languedoc / France
100% Syrah
L’O de la Vie is a play on “water of life” suggesting this forward, fruit driven offering is intended for consumption upon release. The vines are young and the wine is aged entirely in stainless steel.
