Chateau Calvimont
Winemakers Xavier and Caroline Perromat have worked tirelessly for more than a decade to restore their family’s historic property here in the heart of Graves, just to the north of the famous sweet wine region of Barsac.
Domaine Sauvète
We like to call Domaine Sauvète wines “stress-free” because what’s in the bottle comes not only with an iron-clad organic certification but also the know-how of four generations of artisan winemakers in Touraine.
Domaine de L’Enclos
Romain and Damien Bouchard founded their winemaking estate only in 2016, yet they are the fourth generation of their clan to toil the classic and chalky, Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis. For generations, the family provided other winemakers with peerless Chardonnay fruit, pulled from impressive holdings in grand cru and premier cru vineyards, planted carefully by family hands.
Domaine Andre Robert
The story of André Robert Champagne goes back five generations, rooted in the chalk-rich, grand cru soils of Le Mesnil sur Oger. The Robert family are a true grower-producer team dedicated to the elegant and expressive character of pure Mesnil Champagne.
Château de Janicon
Château de Janicon Castres | Bordeaux The birthplace of “claret” and home of the famous Haut-Brion, the Graves appellation in Bordeaux for centuries has produced red and white wines with an aristocratic mien and effortless elegance in perfume and flavor....
Domaine JMB Sorrel
The Sorrel family first set root in Hermitage in 1893, when estate founder Félix Alexandre Sorrel purchased land in ‘Les Bessards.’ Today the family’s third generation–indeed, three Sorrel brothers (Jacques, Jean-Michel and Bruno)–today tend the family’s few acres of land, crafting but a handful of bottles each vintage.
Domaine Christophe Billon
There is something particularly special about a winemaker who lives, literally, among his vines. In the heart of ‘Côte Rozier,’ at the very top of the hill overlooking the northern Rhône town of Ampuis, you’ll find the humble yet rising-star estate of Christophe Billon.
Domaine Vigot
Christine and Fabrice Vigot since the late 1990s have worked side by side, crafting wines in very small quantities from choice parcels (just under six acres) in Vosne, Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges, in addition to some well-placed Bourgogne vineyards that could outshine many a premier cru in a blind tasting.
Domaine Curot
Winemaker Éric Louis can follow his roots in Sancerre as far back as 1860, when his great-grandmother Pauline was an early pioneer by tending vines and bottling her own wines. Sauvignon Blanc has remained the family’s passion, with hillside vineyards to the southeast of Sancerre in Vinon.
Château Leroy-Beauval
While so much of Bordeaux is dominated by grand estates that demand equally grand prices, we cherish small estates that build on the traditions of the region, artisans who strive for wines that reflect the best of Bordeaux: rich ripe fruit, silky tannins, soulful spice.
