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...

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...

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...
