And so, just in time for Fall, we’re thrilled to release our newest French products: cider and poiré from Normandy.
This sampler includes four of each variety: Cidre Organic Dry, Poiré Organic Dry, Cidre Rosé. (Details below)

While the wood influence isn’t subtle at present, this clearly is not intended for immediate consumption and there appears to be more than enough mid-palate density to easily absorb the wood in time. In sum, if you’re in the market for age-worthy villages candidates, this offers excellent quality in a tightly wound and mildly austere package that should reward 12+ years of cellar time.

Burghound found “notably ripe aromas of dark raspberry, cassis, and spiced plum.” This is a wine that will require a few years in the cellar to show its potential, even in this early-drinking vintage. But five, ten, or fifteen years down the road, it can be expected to integrate fully and express its fine pedigree. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

They’ve just welcomed the 6th generation into the business, and year after year turn out humbly delicious red Burgundies. Their 2019s are terrific, with gorgeous textures and excellent aging potential.
A magnificent wine that will both require and reward cellaring. We loved this wine in 2018, and weren’t surprised to see it win a prestigious Coup de Coeur from the Guide Hachette, who wrote of its “refined tannins,” “perfectly mastered woodsiness,” and notes of “rose, cassis, and tobacco.” If you have room in the back of your cellar, consider putting away some of this.

We recently enjoyed one of the last magnums of our 2002 from Bardoux, which was mature and delicious but not the least bit tired. The 2004 vintage produced wines with a bit more structure, and these recently disgorged magnums have the capacity for plenty of additional cellaring.
The blend is 20% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, and 50% Chardonnay, with an 8g/L dosage. The nose is terrific, with woodsy, savory notes alongside the pear fruit. In the mouth is chalky and fine, with an astonishing level of vibrancy for its age. Look for notes of rhubarb, cooked apples and raspberry across a beautifully textured palate.

It is rich and smooth in the mouth, with oodles of material. The flavors linger on the palate impressively. This wine will require some time at the back of the cellar, but when it begins to show itself clearly it should be impressive indeed.
