The Ravauts craft delicious, well-priced cuvées (white and red) from humble appellations. The Wine Advocate’s William Kelley calls them “hearty, characterful wines with plenty of stuffing.”
Ravaut’s 2020 Bourgogne rouge is intensely red-fruited, with notes of wild cherries and currants. The mouth is packed with flavor – juicy ripe tannins, plum and cassis notes, and 2020’s signature pitch perfect freshness. If you (like we) are constantly in search of an everyday red Burgundy for your cellar, your quest ends today. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The nose shows sweet cream butter, with a lovely sucrocité. The mouth is dry and savory, trading the plump, tropical ripeness of recent vintages for a cool precision. Pair this with a plate of shrimp scampi. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The 2022 vintage was a success in Chablis as it was in the Côte d’Or, with generous quantity and good ripeness. As usual, Collet’s Chablis 2022 was vinified and raised in stainless steel. It is round and supple, with attractive lemon fruit and a nice mineral line. There’s a delicious dose of classic Chablisien stoniness alongside the fruit. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Giroux’s disciplined organic winemaking results in extraordinary wines – William Kelley describes them as “supple, pure and charming.” Everything in our first importation sold out in months.
From a tiny appellation and a near-perfect Maconnais vintage, the 2020 Pouilly-Loché is a hidden treasure. The nose is clean and refined with notes of white flowers, citrus peel and almond. The mouth is silky and beautiful with perfectly balanced acidity amid notes of yellow fruit, ginger, and tangerine. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Dupré has a lighter touch than Berne in the cellar, and the wines have less extraction and more finesse
La Démarrante 2022 (“the starter”) is a classic, uncomplicated Gamay. Goujon described it as something you’d find in a “bar à vin,” a refreshing, juicy, Beaujolais embodying the region’s jubilant spirit. The 2021 was crisp and lively, but the 2022 has a bit more meat on the bones. It’s fruit-forward and floral with bright red plums in the nose alongside hints of chalk and spice. The mouth is smooth and easy with low tannin and a clean, refreshing finish.

From his small, humble domaine not far from the Loire River, Paget produces a wide range of red, white, rosé and sparkling wines, all full of energy and life.
This cuvée is Chenin Blanc from more impressive terroir and deeper soils than Paget's Melodie. This nose is perfumed and beautiful, with notes of yellow apples and pear compote. The mouth is rich, smooth and very long with notes of grapefruit, honey, lime and apricot. It sees a few months in old oak barrels, which add a smoothness and spice to the lush fruit. If a Meursault were made from Chenin Blanc it might taste like this. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Les Aligoteurs, as they are known, have brought Aligoté light years beyond its skinny, acidic past. Vincent raises his Aligoté in older versions of the same barrels he uses for his famous wines from Meursault and Puligny, which gives the wine a roundness and weight that we wouldn’t have thought possible from this modest grape. Burghound praised the 2021’s “exceptionally fresh aromas includ[ing] those of lemon rind, green apple and spice,” and its “very fine persistence on the clean and agreeably dry finish.” Less (-) Free US Shipping |
