Serge Dagueneau Pouilly Fume “Les Pentes’ 2015
Regular Price $28.99

“Les Pentes” means “The Slopes” as this is a south-facing sloped vineyard that soaks in the summer sun. On the fruitier side of Pouilly Fume with melon and apricot aromas first, then citrus flavors and minerality after. Stainless steel tank fermented, it’s crisp, clean and refreshing.

Yes, Sancerre Rouge, made from 100% Pinot Noir. This is wine for lovers of bright and elegant Pinot Noir, as its that and more. Its savory and earthy with a backdrop of ripe fruit. It sings with food; despite its relative moderate weight it will handle that rib-eye off the grill.
Yannick Amirault Bourgueil ‘Les Quartiers’ 2012
Regular Price $27.99
Sale Price $21.99
Yannick Amirault and his son Benoit keep evolving – backwards. Organic since 2009, with no chemicals used since 1977, the grapes are hand-harvested and the wines are fermented in large, old wooden vats. Fermentations occur naturally, with indigenous yeasts, no sulfites are added and all wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wines are supple, earthy, interesting and delicious. Understated plum and green pepper aromas evolve into savory, herbal and red cassis flavors. This is a wine that intrigues as well as pleases.
