    Red wine. St. Nicolas de Bourgueil, Loire Valley, France. Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. "The 2017 Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil “la Mine” from Benoît and Yannick Amirault is a lovely wine in the making, with a complex and expressive bouquet of cassis, black cherries, cigar smoke, a touch of tree bark, espresso, gentle meaty tones and a fine base of gravelly soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and nicely structured, with a fine core, excellent soil signature, ripe tannins and impressive length and grip on the very promising finish. This bottling always needs at least a few years in the cellar to blossom, but all of the constituent components are in place for an outstanding wine with a bit of patience." — 91+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar #77 (Sept./Oct. 2018)

    White wine. Sancerre, Loire Valley, France. Sustainable. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Typical Sancerre citrus and herbs on the nose—only from this cuvée, these notes explode from the glass. Beautifully textured throughout the mid-palate, this has the most mineral-laden finish of the trio of outstanding whites. There is a wonderful sense of untamed energy throughout, that no doubt could uncoil itself for the better part of a decade.

    Red wine. Cheverny, Loire Valley, France. Biodynamic. 50% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Gamay, 15% Pinot Noir. A complex blend of black cherry, forest floor, and smoke, with a topnote of chicory. Medium-full on the palate—complex, tangy, and intense. A long and grippy finish with modest tannins. Let this wine breath a while before showing.

    Red wine. Cheverny, Loire Valley, France. Biodynamic. 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Gamay. Delivers a fine, youthful nose of black cherries, cassis, lovely botanicals, just a hint of tree bark, espresso and incipient notes of forest floor. On the palate the wine is tangy and complex, with a good, solid core, excellent transparency, moderate tannins and a long, complex finish.

    White wine. Pouilly-Fume, Loire Valley, France. Sustainable. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. "The 2014 Clos des Chaudoux from Serge Dagueneau and his two daughters, Valerie and Florence, is a fine follow-up to their very strong 2013 version. The wine is deep, ripe and complex on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet offering up scents of lime, a touch of orange, grassy overtones, citrus peel and a lovely base of flinty soil tones. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and complex, with a fine core, bright acids and plenty of length and grip on the well-balanced and classy finish. The Dagueneau house style is for later harvesting and this shows in the stylistic profile of this wine, but there is nothing heavy or over the top here, just all the personality of perfectly ripe sauvignon blanc in a fine terroir." — 92 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar #65 (Sept./Oct. 2016)

    Rosé wine. Sancerre, Loire Valley, France. 100% Pinot Noir. Sustainable. Pale orange. Mineral-tinged strawberry, tangerine and honeysuckle scents show very good clarity and spicy lift. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering refreshing orange zest and red berry flavors that deepen and spread out slowly on the back half. Concentrated yet lively as well, finishing with strong, red-fruit-driven persistence.

    White wine. Loire Valley, France. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Sustainable. Bright straw coloured wine with green glints. The clean, racy nose reveals hints of grapefruit, white flowers and flintiness. On the palate, the attack is full and silky, rich and plump with underlying freshness.

    White wine. Loire Valley, France. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Sustainable. From 30-year-old vines planted on clay soils. A pure, well-concentrated aroma of white fruits, ripe lemons, gooseberries and a hint of nuts. Quite powerful and fleshy on the palate, it shows a slightly creamy/yeasty texture cut by a piquant acidity. Good length on the finish.
