92 points Decanter: "There’s a touch of pepper and juniper here, it’s full-bodied, very savoury style. The tannins are just-ripe and it’s well balanced with a long finish—there's tension and power here rather than concentration of fruit, and it will take a while to really reveal itself. This will be one of the longer-lasting Liracs of the vintage. (MW)" (09/2019) K&L Notes: An 88-acre estate, Château de Montfaucon sits just across the Rhône River from the esteemed vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is owned and operated by Rodolphe de Pins, a U.C. D...
This is a charming Chardonnay from a small grower in the Mâcon. Lionel Rhedon-Marin is a graduate of the College of Viticulture in the nearby village of Davaye, where Guffens trained. All of their young-vine fruit is sold in bulk to one of the better negociants, who is pleased to have it, since Lionel is such a careful grower. But their old-vine fruit, all over 45 years of age, is kept for the domaine wine, which is charming and elegant. This is a balanced, well-made and wonderfully crisp and mineral-driven Mâcon. Only K&L's direct import makes this pric...
Elisabeth Goutorbe and her husband Jean-Marie Egrot run their tiny production Champagne house almost entirely by themselves. They get very little help from their cat Maurice, but can rely on Elisabeth’s father, René Goutorbe of Champagne Henri Goutorbe for a little bit of help. Of the 15 acres they own in Ay, Louvois, Tauxieres and Mutigny, they only keep the fruit from their 2.5 best—mostly in Ay, but also a touch of Louvois Chardonnay for balance. Their home straddles the border of Ay and Mutigny, two great terroirs in the Gand Valley of the Marne, whi...
Château de Sarenceau is a family property and the 4th generation runs it today. This small estate of only 9 hectares allows a precise and careful work of the vines. This is the first time we have carried this property and it was our biggest buy on April 2022 trip. Rare enough to be underlined, this Saint-Emilion is a 100% Merlot! It offers an evolved nose, with notes of truffle, plum and licorice. The mouth opens with a lot of fruit and freshness, and it finishes with ripe black fruit flavors. A great wine from a great vintage. Will cellar well 10 mor...
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The base 2020 Ventoux has a beautiful, exotic nose of wild raspberries, strawberries, candied violets, and peppery garrigue. This flows to a medium-bodied, pure, incredibly elegant Ventoux that has plenty of chalky minerality, a seamless mouthfeel, good overall freshness, and enough structure to allow it to evolve for 10-12 years. It's beautifully done." (01/2022) K&L Notes: Located in the foothills of Mont Ventoux lies one of the top producers in the Ventoux region of the Rhône - Domaine de Fondrèche. Vigneron Sebastien Vincent...

Wine Enthusiast: "With its high proportion of Meunier, this Champagne is a ripe generous wine that has rich pear and kiwi flavors that are full and tangy. (RV)" (12/2020) K&L Notes: This Champagne is composed of 70% Pinot Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir and is aged three and a half years on the lees. The exotic, pure Meunier fruit in this Champagne marries with the creamy, delicately toasty aromas and flavors. The wine has no trace of sherry-like oxidation or bruised apple malic character that Meunier-based Champagnes sometimes have. On the contrary, this i...

This incredible blanc de noir hails from the Courtois estate in Crouttes-sur-Marne, the far west of the Champagne region. It is composed of equal parts Pinot Noir and Meunier and has a light golden color. The boquet is full of savory intrigue and reminds me a bit of Gevrey-Chambertin, but with some sourdough toast from the over four years of ageing on the lees. This is a concentrated champagne with great mid-palate authority and full toasty, noughaty flavors that still come togehter on a fresh, dry back end. -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer

Domaine de la Colombe is based in the village of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, located at elevations between 900 and 1,300 feet. The terroir includes clay-limestone soils in combination with sandier soils in the valley. The higher elevations combined with full sun exposure allow for full ripeness without sacrificing acidic balance and texture. It's a classic patio wine for aperitifs or lightly grilled seafood dishes.

L'Amandine was established in 1968 by Jean-Pierre Verdeau who followed the tradition of winemaking in his family. Born in the region, Jean-Pierre continues to work in the vineyards and is now joined by his son-in-law, Alex Suter (whose father was the vineyard manager of Rustenberg winery in South Africa). They work together to build on the successes of the past and look to the future. Séguret is one of the most picturesque villages in the southern Rhône, built into the hillside and overlooking the surrounding vines. The soils are made up of primarily cla...
This is 100% Pinot Noir from Verzenay, the northernmost of all the Grand Crus in this northernmost of French wine regions. The whole village faces north, the wrong way, away from the sun, and yet miraculously ripens Pinot Noir, the most difficult Champagne variety to ripen perfectly. Some say it's because of a meteor that in prehistoric times hit the area that is now the village, creating the Faux de Verzenay, a forest where the trees bend and fold in on themselves like a dark wood in The Lord of the Rings. Pair this wine as an apéritif with a smoked sal...
This all estate grown, 100% Pinot Noir champagne comes from Les Riceys, one of the southernmost villages in Champagne. It is the same wine as the reserve, but with an extra year of ageing and without any sugar added. It was the biggest discovery of my March trip to the Aube, but unfortunately only 4000 bottles were produced. This wine has great baguette toast, subtle pinot noir fruit and a great mineral finish that shows off how close this estate is to Chablis. The minerality and length are amazing, and even though it has zero dosage, the 50% reserve win...
Nos Jolies Ouvrées Bourgogne Chardonnay beautifully showcases the elegance and complexity of Burgundy. Crafted from Chardonnay grapes, this wine offers a harmonious balance of ripe fruit flavors, minerality, and refreshing acidity. Its subtle oak influence adds depth and structure, while the unique terroir imparts a distinct character.

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Produced by the Dragon family, the wine is brightly textured with a bite of pepper as well as plenty of acidity. A dry wine, it needs a few months. *Best Buy* (RV)" (07/2023) K&L Notes: Domaine Jacourette lies in the shadow of the Montagne-Ste-Victoire just east of Aix-en-Provence. Vigneron Helene Dragon took over winemaking duties more than two decades ago, and masterfully crafts one of our freshest and most sought after rosés year-after-year. The vines are planted at 300 meters of elevation atop decomposing limestone and ...

A new addition to the K&L inventory and to the Jura AOC as a whole, Patrick Ligeron's Domaine des Carlines is quickly making an impression not only on Jura geeks, but also on fans of terroir in general. The domaine vineyard holdings lie partly within the Château-Chalone sub-AOC, each one delivering its own particular expression of the Chardonnay and/or Savagnin grapes. The La Vouivre is a vineyard blend of the domaine's four named parcels - En Beaumont, Le Calvaire, En Lya, and Trémoulette. The composition is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Savagnin. All the wine...
Baron-Fuenté is a négociant that owns almost 90 acres of vines and purchases another 90 acres "sur pied," meaning that they pick the grapes. This is an important distinction since many négociants buy "sur lattes," meaning in bottle! The 2013 Millésime is a blend of 45% Chardonnay, 40% Meunier, and 15% Pinot Noir and aged eight years on the lees, with 8g/L dosage. The winery describes this release: "Only the best years are vintage, and 2013 is one of them. It was a late and cool year with a harvest that brought together all the characteristics of a great ...
93 points Decanter: "Very concentrated, deep kirsch and blackberry fruit. Deeper than most in 2020, with driving acidity and dense tannins, then a touch of fig on the finish. Fluid but concentrated, fresh, with a well-defined tannic structure. 50-year-old Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Grown on clay limestone and marl, handpicked, part destemmed, aged in old barriques and foudres. (MW)" (09/2021) 91-93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "What should be a brilliant classical Gigondas readers will love, the 2020 Gigondas Tradition offers a great nose of red and bl...

Not to be confused with Château d'Issan or its second wine, Blason d'Issan, this awesome value (from the vintage Jancis Robinson suggests might Bordeaux's best ever) actually hails from a different vineyard than these other d'Issan's. And while this is labelled and sold as Bordeaux Supérieur, it is nonetheless under the outstanding d'Issan umbrella (the 2019 grand vin got 96 points from Jane Anson).
91-92 points James Suckling: "Very pretty aromas and flavors of purple fruit with chocolate and walnuts. It’s medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy, lightly chewy finish." (04/2021) Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Bourdieu sports a deep garnet-purple color and notes of stewed black plums, blackberry preserves and underbrush, plus wafts of dried herbs and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate offers a good amount of expressive black fruits with a soft texture and lively backbone, finishing with an herbal lift. (LPB)" (06/2021)

92 points Decanter: "Ripe black fruit aromas on the nose continue on the palate with blackcurrant, black cherry and plum on the palate. Juicy with a lovely soft mouthwatering aspect contrasting the crunchy fruit with a vein of minerality running through. Lovely integrated tannins and a smooth overall mouthfeel. A pleasure to drink and a crowd-pleasing wine. (GH)" (03/2022) 91 points James Suckling: "Blackberries, dark cherries, currants, chocolate, vanilla and sweet spices on the nose.

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Based on Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, the 2020 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Compartir is another deep purple-hued release from this château revealing a great nose of both cassis and darker berry-like fruit as well as spice, peppery herbs, chalky mineral, and licorice. This big, rich, heady effort has full-bodied richness, a supple, layered texture, fabulous purity of fruit, and a great finish. " (05/2022) Jancis Robinson: "Chocolate and cherries.

From K&L On the Trail blog: "Jean-Michel Giboulot took over the family business in 1982 and has put together one of the best bang-for-your-buck portfolios in all of Burgundy over the last three-plus decades. His wines from Burgundy's Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation are known as great values, and both the reds and whites are equally strong. Giboulot's wines straddle the line between traditional and modern, with reds that have crunchier fruit and fine tannins, but plenty of ripeness and purity. The whites are done in a feminine style with rounder fruit and ...
Established over 50 years ago, the 4th generation of the Denis family now runs this operation. Julien is the winemaker, Stephane in charge of the viticulture and Vincent oversees the administration and sales. Over the last few decades the property has grown from 5 to 80 hectares that stretch across the appellation including some very select parcels in the Coteaux du Layon (home of one of the region's great dessert wines). The Anjou Villages is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc grown on volcanic soils. This soil imparts a warmth tha...

Drink or hold." (03/2023) 93 points Wine Spectator: "Shows nice brightness, with fleur de sel notes out front that give this zing from the get-go, followed by pink grapefruit oil, gooseberry and bitter almond hints. The fleur de sel takes an encore on the finish for zip. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. (JM)" (03/2023) 92 points Decanter: "Refreshing citrus and st...
Domaine Cherrier was founded in 1930, and since then four generations of the family have run the estate. Brothers François and Jean-Marie work sustainably in all their vineyards. In 2010, they acquired 10 hectares of vines in the nearby region of Menetou-Salon. The estate has limestone and calcareous clay soils that wonderfully influence the character of the grapes grown there. K&L French Regional buyer Keith Mabry says: "For those seeking Sancerre quality but at a more competitive price, look no further than Menetou-Salon. The Cherrier brothers deli...
Maison Barrière and Château Beychevelle collaborate to create this wine that's a stunning value from Bordeaux. This blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon is a stellar value from Bordeaux. Grapes are hand-harvested and the juice undergoes a cold soak before 75% of it is barrel fermented and the other 25% is fermented in stainless steel. Crisp and mineral with vanilla tones on the nose, the palate is nicely rounded and full with citrus and tropical fruit. It is delicious with lighter foods and also quite refreshing on its own.
91 points James Suckling: "A medium-bodied young Bordeaux with currant and berry character and hints of cedar and hazelnut. It’s nicely crafted and shows plenty of character. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot." (09/2022) 91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Concentrated with dusky tannins and juicy black fruits, this is a rich wine. Its dense texture and spice from wood aging offer great promise. *Cellar Selection* (RV)" (07/2022)
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "The 2020 Clos Floridène Blanc is laced with apricot, dried flowers, mint and a touch of spice. Light on its feet and airy, the 2020 is decidedly understated. Today it comes across as a bit light, especially on the mid-palate. *Editors' Choice* (RV)" (07/2022) 91 points Wine Spectator: "Very focused, with a streamlined set of lemon peel, fleur de sel and verbena notes that are long and finely tuned through the finish.

I like the clarity and the cooling, stone-laced finish. Very smooth and charming. Michel Rolland consultancy. (GH)" (03/2022)
91-93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Based on 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon, the 2021 Clos des Lunes Lune D'Argent Blanc is a hidden little gem of a white that readers will love. Lots of citrus, lemon curd, white flowers, and rocky minerality define the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with bright acidity, good depth of fruit, and outstanding length."

94 points Wine Advocate: "Even tasted from half-bottle, the 2017 Bandol still needs a few more years in the cellar to be at its best. A blend of 94% Mourvèdre and 6% Grenache, it's a deep, dark, richly tannic offering with intense notes of plum and cola and a pleasant, herb-laced dose of strawberries and redcurrants. Full-bodied and sturdy, it nevertheless turns silky and elegant on the long, licorice-tinged finish. Tasted twice (once blind, from 750 ml), with consistent notes.

Located on the gravelly ridges of the village of St-Lambert in Pauillac, Château Gaudin is a vineyard of 4 hectares acquired in 1901. Three generations later, the estate is still family owned and run. The estate is now 11 hectares total with Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the plantings along with a smattering of Merlot and Carménère. Its classic Pauillac stature frames black fruits, tobacco, and gravelly soil tones with robust and firm tannins providing structure.

91 points Vinous: "The 2022 Rosé Vaucluse is pale pink with orange hues in the glass. The bouquet slowly forms, showing savory herbs, crushed stone and tomato leaf. Further coaxing brings forward young peach and lemon oils. This envelops the palate with ripe pit fruits and sweet spice hints. A crunchy sensation appears as saline minerals collect toward the close. The 2022 finishes perfumed and light on its feet. Ripe melon notes bring the taster back to the glass.(EG)" (05/2023) K&L Notes: Composed of 88% Grenache Noir, 10% Mourvèdre, and 2% Grenache B...
