French Wine

This wine is 100% Cabernet Franc selected from multiple terroirs in the region of Saumur, in the Loire Valley. This wine has an earthy, dense nose with hints of black fruits and iron. A clean and refreshing style of Cabernet Franc, there are no weird or overwhelming notes of green pepper here! This would be fantastic with grilled and/or braised meats. It could use a little bottle age or a good 45 minutes of decanting to really show its stuff.

90 points Wine & Spirits: "This shows dense flavors of black fig, black cherry and cassis, yet its fresh acidity gives the wine a vibrant, energetic feel. It's delicious now, and should gain further harmony and complexity with time." A visit to La Noblaie is like stepping back in time. Their house dates back to the 12th century, the fermentation vat was dug around the 17th century and the crusaders spent so much time in their backyard on the way to the East that their garden is still locally known around the area as "Les Blanc Manteaux" (the White Coat...

This is Tarlant's top-of-the-line wine, and one of the best Champagnes we carry regardless of price. It is made of half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir from the chalkiest portion of the Tarlant family's hillside vineyards in Oeuilly (Vallée de la Marne). The Tarlant family uses organic practices in the vineyard- but they are very coy about calling themselves organic, no doubt due to the family's prominence in the vignerons association in Champagne. The plot that the grapes come from is called "les Crayons" and the vines are all over 45 years of age, but... Read More »

This Chardonnay, harvested by hand come from a vineyard situated on gravel soils and was aged in oak barrels for one year. It is a fleshy, robust, fine white, but also very fresh and bright.
