Donnhoff’s Noble Dry Wines – Grosses Gewächs
 
Though the Mosel might get all the attention, the Nahe region of Germany offers something no other can boast: winemakers Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff. Anyone who knows their wines knows that this compliment is well deserved.
 
Dönnhoff is one of our favorite German producers, one we stock by the pallet-load. And we’re not the only ones obsessed. These are wines that become THE wine that made this whole Riesling thing click.
 
What better way to begin your own journey of discovery than with the top dry options? Fortunately, these Grosses Gewächs (“Great Growth”) wines won’t cost anything close to a plane ticket to Germany (or a top tier bottle of Grand Cru white Burgundy, for that matter).

New Arrival Featurette:
 
The Champagnes of Christophe Mignon
 
Christophe Mignon splits the difference in terroir between two vineyards, a cooler site in Le Breuil that contributes acidity and structure, and a chalkier site in Festigny that offers more fruit and concentration. To quote Peter Liem in his excellent book, Champagne, Mignon is a “dedicated and conscientious viticulturalist, yet while much of his work might be interpreted as organic or biodynamic, he refuses to adhere to any standardized systems required for certification.”
 
Under Mignon’s guidance, the wines show dramatic mineral notes with depth and tension. These are true works of art; ones you’ll be pleased to share.
