“Zardetto’s Non-vintage Prosecco Brut is one of the most consistently delicious Proseccos on the market. It is also made in sufficient quantities to guarantee that it will be available in most, if not all, major markets. This exuberant, extroverted wine is full of flowers, pears and spices, and is sure to deliver much pleasure.”

“This has mellowed nicely, revealing plum, leather, tobacco, iron and earth flavors. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and harmonious. Drink now through 2023. 2,000 cases made.”

“Also showing a Bordeaux-like graphite quality, the 2014 Gigondas Cuvee Cecile (70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre aged in French oak) is medium-bodied, surprisingly concentrated and structured, with darker fruits, smoke and leafy herb aromas and flavors. It’s a big, rich 2014 that will keep through 2024.”
– Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate

“While much of Sancerre lies on chalk soils, much of the Vacheron estate is planted on silex, which is flint over a clay and limestone base. This silex soil contains millions of tiny oceanic fossils, giving evidence that the entire region was once covered by the ocean. It produces wines of amazing minerality and acidity, with trademark smoky aromas. The famed “Les Romains” vineyard in Sancerre is made up exclusively of this soil type and the Vacheron family owns some of the more important holdings in these parcels.”
- Notes from the Producer

“Delicate and floral, with citrus blossom, apple and ginger notes. Nicely balanced, picking up some textural detail on the finish. Ideal as an aperitif.’
- Wine Spectator

“The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a great introduction to the house style. This elegant, fragrant wine offers up an array of smoke, toastiness, minerals, ripe pears and flowers. The medium-bodied NV Blanc de Blancs offers tons of clarity and precision at this level, with the lingering Ruinart sweetness on the finish.”

“The Bouzereau clan is widespread in the village of Meursault, with Domaine Michel Bouzereau at the forefront. Michel Bouzereau comes from a large winemaking family and has held the post of President of the Burgundy Growers Union. His is a voice to be heard. And what he likes to talk about is the traditional way of making wine. He ferments in cask and gives his wines nine months on their lees. Determined that his wines will smell and taste only of wine, the importance of new wood is acknowledged but downplayed. Michel’s son Jean Baptiste is now in charge of making the seventeen wines from this 11 hectare estate.”
- Notes from the Producer

“The La Migoua vineyard is on the outskirts of the village of Le Beausset, perched on the southern face of the Le Beausset-Vieux hill range on a chalk and clay terroir…Cuvée La Migoua is comprised of 50 to 65 % Mourvedre depending on the year. A significant amount of Cinsault is also grown in this vineyard, particularly on the south-facing hillside known as ‘La Louffe’. With a tendancy towards more animal notes than the estate’s other cuvées,La Migoua expresses great complexity. It is a wine with a delicate nose, excellent balance and a long ageing potential.”
- Notes from the Producer

“Offering more minerality than the cuvee Classique, the 2014 Bandol La Tourtine is a structured, tannic effort that has lots of fruit, ample mid-palate density and a masculine, firm style that will need bottle age to resolve.”
- Wine Advocate (91-93 points)

“The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes has a complex bouquet with hints of white flowers intermingling with the citrus and stony aromas. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, the acidity very nicely judged here and lending wonderful harmony and focus. It gently fans out on the finish with hints of greengage and citrus peel, completing a superb Saint-Aubin from Olivier Lamy. This comes recommended.”

“A delicious Champagne full of rose petal, wheat, cherry and citrus notes, all supported by a vivid acidity and chalky texture. An innate sense of power on a lightweight frame. Lengthy finish.”
- Wine Spectator

MAGNUM

“More discreet wood more easily allows the overtly spicy aromas of poached plum, lavender and tea, The round yet reasonably well-detailed flavors possess a sophisticated mouth feel as well as fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, mineral-driven and very firm finish. Unlike the Grèves however, this excellent effort should be reasonably approachable after 5 to 7 years.”
- Burghound (92-94 points)

Michel Caillot’s wines have a clear, consistent house style. Domaine Caillot Meursault 2012 is a beautifully balanced white Burgundy that combines pure, clean lemon-citrus fruit, vanilla oak, fascinating minerality, a fine, creamy texture and a crisp, long and complex finish.

Presented in a 17th-century inspired bottle, it’s no wonder why this Champagne is among the best-selling Rose Champagnes of France.

“Pale salmon-pink. Sweet aromas of strawberry and earth. Frothy and ripe, with accessible flavors of strawberry, raspberry and earth. A bit aggressive but not heavy or crude.”

“Everything went quickly in 2015, in the vineyards as in the cellar. A flowering at the beginning of June, a veraison begun in mid-July and grapes that one begins to harvest at the end of August. In this vintage, the grapes were perfect. An impeccable health status and optimal maturity. This vintage is solar, with generous wines.”

“The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Rouge has a pure blackberry and raspberry coulis-scented bouquet with well-integrated oak, a touch of mint coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly edgy/chalky tannin. There is a conspicuous line of acidity here that imparts a citric freshness and a pleasing angularity towards the pointed finish. Give this a year or two in bottle for the hardness to abrade.”
