A Trove of Back Vintage Rougeard

Arriving Friday, Selling Out Fast

Clos Rougeard is one of the toughest wines in the world to source—and older vintages even more so.  These are bottles that are some of the most coveted in the world—the only producer of their stature in the Loire, they’re on par with the highest end Burgundy.  Collectors fight to get mere bottles of current releases, so it’s even more exciting to get our hands on a massive collection of back-vintage Rougeard with excellent provenance.

This is Not Champagne Christophe Baron

Christophe Baron, legendary winemaker of Cayuse, recently released a Champagne to his mailing list (he hails from Champagne, it’s not as random as you’d think).  Despite the sky high price, the wine sold out in less than three hours.  We’re not here to offer you that wine today, but to humbly suggest that there might be another option, hiding in plain sight on our shelves, that could scratch the same itch (for a little less coin)—Benoit Dehu’s “Rue des Noyers”.

Noble and Overlooked

The Excellent Max Ferd. Richter

The wine that first got me [Saul] into German wine was an old bottle of Max Ferd. Richter.  It was an ’81 Kabinett, recorked and relabeled at the estate, and re-released at 20+ years old.  It was a revelation—my first taste of older German Riesling and a fantastic wine despite the less-than-stellar vintage.  When we got the offer for Richter that you see today, my eyes lit up—these are some fantastic wines that don’t make it across the US as widely as they should.
