Batardiere 2022 VDF Amor Fati (Red)
Amor Fati is an ethereally light red from a small holding of Grolleau vines. Often a bit reductive on opening, these notes blow off with some air, revealing a floral and high acid Grolleau, perhaps the lightest one we've ever...

Belargus 2020 Anjou Blanc "Quarts"
"Les Quarts" is the original plot which gave its name to the Quarts-de-Chaume appellation. Indeed until the French revolution the lords of Haute-Guerche, farming this vineyard, were paying the Ronceray Abbey with "the best quarter of the harvest"... The "Quarts-de-Chaume"...

Garnier, Jean-Christophe 2022 Chenin Blanc 13 Vents
We don't remember this cuvée from the early days when Garnier's wines were in New York, but it's clearly a top wine for him, not just because it's the most expensive. The structure here and dry extract create a scintillating...

From Jean-Christophe's older plot (around 70 years-old now). This is pressed slowly in Jean-Christophe's basket press, over the course of 2-3 days. Aged on the lees in old barrels. There are very slight oxidative notes here, and lovely structure. The...

Garnier, Jean-Christophe 2023 Gamay-Aunis

Garnier, Jean-Christophe 2023 Les Nouettes
Most likely a similar low and slow (more like long and slow) press, with Grolleau and Pineau D'Aunis. The Grolleau gives less grit and spice than the Gamay lends in the "Gamay-Aunis" cuvée. Instead it lends a delicious, very pure...
