    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.

    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)

    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.

    White wine. Cheverny, Loire Valley, France. Biodynamic. 100% Romorantin. From 115-year-old vines, a beautiful wine with a rich bouquet of lime, pear, and orange peel, with a touch of honey and a streak of stony minerality. Full-bodied, crisp, and balanced on the palate, with a lengthy, powerful finish. A superb wine.

    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)

    Rosé wine. Loire Valley, France. 100% Pinot Noir. Sustainable. Made from Pinot Noir planted on soils of Terres Blanche. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, red currant, and citrus. Medium-bodied, fresh, and silky on the palate with nicely balanced acidity. Flavors of cherry and currant echo the bouquet, with hints of mint and pleasant minerality. Dry, with a nice long finish.

    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.
