    If there's one thing you need to know about Rhône Valley wine, it's this: whatever kind of wine you tend toward, the region has something for you.

    That's because the Rhône encompasses such a wide range of styles and grapes, from the north's pure, single-varietal Syrahs and Viogniers to the south's Grenache-heavy red blends and full, balanced whites showcasing flavors of Clairette, Roussanne, and Marsanne.

    You can find your perfect Rhône cuvée at our Introduction to Wines of the Rhône Valley class, featuring an overview of the grapes, terroirs, and wines of the Rhône!

    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)

    Sparkling wine... you mean, Champagne, right? Wrong!

    Sparkling wine is only Champagne when it comes from the Champagne region of France. Outside of Champagne, you have Crémant (the rest of France), Prosecco (Italy), and more in a dazzling array of sparkling wines that vary in style, character, and composition.

    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.

    Rosé wine. Sancerre, Loire Valley, France. 100% Pinot Noir. Pale salmon-colored. 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.

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.

    White wine. Loire Valley, France. Biodynamic. 100% Chenin Blanc. Phyllade is the local name for the schist soil in which the vines for this wine grow. Purchased from a fellow winemaker, Luc Percher has turned these grapes into a terroir-expressive wine with aromas of beeswax, apple, lemon, and mineral; lovely texture on the palate; and impressive length.
