Joseph Drouhin Macon-Villages – White Burgundy (Chardonnay)

Tasting Notes: The color of the wine is bright and limpid. The nose is floral and fruity. Very straightforward and direct on the palate, as if biting into a grape. Fresh and light, with a very pleasant aftertaste

At the heart of Burgundy, in the historic city of Beaune, passion and skill have been faithfully transmitted to the present fourth generation of the Drouhin family. All the vineyards of the Drouhin properties are cultivated with the greatest respect for nature in order to bring out the essence of Burgundy in all its diversity. The vinification of this wine reveals the elegance and true expression of the vineyard and it terroir. This is a unique bottle to enjoy and to share.

 

Domaine Les Fines Graves Beaujolais-Villages – 100% Gamay

Tasting Notes: Juicy Plums and their skins, cherries, earth and grapes. Silky and delicious in texture.

The late Jacky Janodet was known as an artisan producer of first class Cru Beaujolais. In the venerable region of Moulin-A-Vent, Janodet’s 17.2 acres of vineyards, the Domaine Les Fines Graves, with their high percentage of very old vines, yield wines which are incredibly rich and powerful for Beaujolais, often improving with several years in bottle. Today the domaine is ably run by Jacky’s wife Evelyn and their son, Jerome. The Domaine Les Fines Graves continues to produce excellent wines from the Beaujolais Villages, Chénas and St. Amour appellations. However, it is the Moulin-à-Vent, the queen of Beaujolais, that reigns at this estate. Deep, brooding and quite Burgundian in nature, this is one of the most masculine and age-worthy of all Beaujolais wines. Jérôme also has his own enterprise and makes a sumptuous Saint Amour from his Domaine des Vieilles Caves. A mere 250 cases a year are made from this plot of 75 to 100 year-old vines formerly owned by Jérôme’s grandfather
