Weinbach Riesling Colette
$99.99
At the foot of the majestic hill of the Schlossberg, in a setting of vineyards and roses, sits Domaine Weinbach, the "stream of wine", named after the small stream that crosses it, built in 1612 by the Capuchin monks. Sold as a national property at the French Revolution, the Domaine was acquired in 1898 by the Faller brothers, who passed it on to their son and nephew, Theo. A great figure of the Alsatian vineyards and ardent promoter of his recognition in Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, Théo Faller works for the quality of Alsace wines and the enhancement of their incomparable terroirs and grape varieties. In love with his property, he develops, expands and embellishes it. From 1979 on, his wife Colette and his daughters Catherine and Laurence showed the same passion for the great wines of Alsace and the same unwavering attachment to quality. Since 2016, Catherine Faller has been managing the Domaine with her sons Eddy and Théo. This domain stands as one of the greatest white wine producers in France.

Blanchet Pouilly Fume Calcite
$40.99
Since the early 1990s, winemaker Francis Blanchet has crafted a special selection of pure Sauvignon Blanc from fruit selected from flint-rich vineyards. This unique terroir announces itself explosively: knock two vineyard stones together and you can’t help but be bowled over by the aroma of firecracker smoke. Indeed, fumé means “smoked” in French, which gives you more than a hint of why Sauvignon Blanc from producers like Blanchet in this charmed appellation across the river from Sancerre is so energetic and mineral-driven. Now that Francis’s son, Mathieu, has joined the winery, the Blanchet family can count eight generations of winemakers among its ranks. This centuries-plus dedication to the soul of the Loire and the character of Sauvignon Blanc, its native grape, makes the Blanchet clan a reliable source for the true voice of this vibrant grape.

$59.99
Guillaume Michaut has been surrounded by vineyards and the history of Chablis since childhood. His grandfather was an early believer in the wines of Chablis and worked proudly to expand the Chablis appellation to his village of Beines and beyond. By the 1960s, he was able to pass a rather large holding of vineyards down to his sons. As a teenager, Guillaume worked alongside his father and uncles in the vineyards and joined the family domaine in 2004. However, after his father passed away, Guillaume realized that his vision was starkly different from that of his uncles, and decided to set out on his own with his small share of family vines back in 2018. This is one of the rising starts of the region, get them before the prices start to rise.
