    A sampler case of 6 wines from Loire—a great way to dive into some of Peter's recent finds and best values! This 6-pack includes one bottle of each of the following wines:

  • $20.00
    Sparkling wine. Chinon, Loire Valley, France. Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. "Marc Plouzeau’s 'Perles Fines' Rosé Pétillant is a lovely wine, showing more elegance on the nose and palate than the 'Perle Sauvage' version. The bouquet shows lovely cabernet franc character in its mix of white cherries, a touch of tangerine, currant leaf, lovely soil tones and a bit of smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and very nicely balanced, with frothy mousse, a good core and nice length and grip on the vibrant finish. A tasty bottle of sparkling cabernet franc, with plenty of elegance." — 88 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar #59 (Sept./Oct. 2015)
  • $20.00

    Sparkling wine. Chinon, Loire Valley, France. Organic. 100% Chenin Blanc. A lovely natural sparkling wine with a stunning gold color. The nose is complex and powerful, with aromas of hazelnut and brioche. On the palate, incredibly light and delicate bubbles give way to layers of aromas and flavors. The finish is sweet. A real joy.

  • $15.00

    Rosé wine. Chinon, Loire Valley, France. 100% Cabernet Franc. Organic. Cherry pit, red currant, pungent flowers and a suggestion of succulent herbs on the nose. Sappy and focused in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and orange flavors and a zesty hint of white pepper that adds back-end spiciness. Closes supple and long, featuring lingering florality and a sweet raspberry flourish. This wine has the heft to work with full-flavored food, but there's also a raciness that makes it extremely easy to drink by itself.

  • $13.00

    White wine. Loire Valley, France. Sustainable. 100% Melon de Bourgogne. The entire production for this bottling comes from a single parcel, Les Avineaux, of 30- to 40-year-old vines planted on a steep granite slope overlooking the confluence of the Sèvre and Maine Rivers.The 2016 offers juicy citrus, melon and white flower aromas and flavors in a clean, crisp, delicious style. Beautiful salinity and minerality—exactly what you're looking for in a Muscadet!

  • $17.00

    Red wine. Loire Valley, France. 100% Pinot Noir. Sustainable. A red fruity mélange of cherries, strawberries, damp herbs, a fine base of chalky soil tones, wood smoke and a touch of pepper on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, bright and gently rustic, with a good core, tangy acids, fine balance and grip and impressive intensity of flavor on the long and focused finish.

  • $29.00

    White wine. Sancerre, Loire Valley, France. Sustainable. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. A young Sancerre from warmer, south-facing terroirs of mostly limestone soils with vibrant fruit and near-perfect balance. Floral and citrus-filled with a mouthwatering salinity. With every minute in the glass, this wine adds minerality, and could be even better with a few years in the cellar.

  • $19.00

    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.
