Château des Jacques: Jadot in Beaujolais

 
Louis Jadot purchased their Moulin-à-Vent estate in 1996, becoming one of the first major Burgundy houses with significant holdings in the region. Their vineyards including holdings in some of the most famous Beaujolais crus of Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, and Fleurie. These vineyards are notable for their pink granite soils, unique to the region, on which Gamay excels.
 
Since taking over the estate, Maison Jadot has added organic and biodynamic practices, less with a mind towards certification than towards the health and character of each parcel.
 
The hand harvested grapes are rigorously sorted and destemmed before undergoing Burgundian winemaking techniques such as long macerations, natural fermentation, and barrel maturation.

Tuscan Trove On Sale Now 7-13-25

Headlined by Tenuta Degli Dei
 

It’s hard not to be excited when talking about Tuscan wine. With a climate mirroring that of Napa Valley and a culture with roots that reach back to the time of the ancient Etruscans, Tuscany is truly a land of incredible food, history, and wine. It’s a region that both honors and challenges traditions. The fine-edged Sangiovese of Chianti and the plush reds of Montepulciano are next door to a more borderless zone where international varieties comingle. Welcome to the realm of the Super Tuscan. These wines emerged in the 1970s as a rebellious response to restrictive DOC regulations that prioritized local grapes over quality. Instead of conforming, visionary producers blended Sangiovese with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, crafting powerful, age-worthy wines that captured global acclaim.

Dönnhoff

 
Weingut Dönnhoff is one of our favorite German producers. We stock their wines by the pallet-load. And we’re not the only ones obsessed. Folks frequently tell us that a bottle of aged Hermannshohle GG (with its “Grand Canyon-like depths”) or the humble yet delicious Estate Trocken (“Fantastic brilliance”!) or the fiercely mineral and refined Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese was THE Riesling that sparked their passion for German terroir (it’s a bit like drinking Alpine snow).
 
Despite their extensive lineup, there’s rarely a wine made here that isn’t the finest of its type and terroir each vintage.
 
Even the entry-level wines are nothing to shrug at, offering unrivalled complexity for a modest entry fee.

Vouvray, Featuring Domaine Huet

 
Vouvray: one of the world’s most complex, age-worthy, terroir-driven, aromatically intense, and praised white wines. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more wildly expressive and flexible grape than the Chenin Blanc that composes practically all white wines from Vouvray. Esteemed for its profundity at all sweetness levels, Vouvray ranges from bone-dry (Sec), lightly- to medium-sweet (Demi-Sec), and dessert style (Moelleux).
 
Granted AOC status in 1936, this commune in the Loire Valley is home to a landmark estate that has endured since those early days. Domaine Huet produces glorious, age-worthy wines not to be overlooked.
 
Domaine Huet is the most sought-after Vouvray producer, at least according to Wine-Searcher data, but that has never surprised us.
