This biodynamic producer is a long favorite of mine making soulful and precise wines. Medium body, bright berry fruit and hints of dried cherries, not to mention fresh acidity. Lively finish. Drink now. - James Suckling

Fantastic wine. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to make a balanced and food friendly wine. Then, gently whole cluster pressing the fruit and fermenting in small French oak barrels adds depth.

Darker than a rosé but lighter than a fully macerated Cabernet Franc, this fresh but complex wine is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to an old sailor’s expression: strong wine warning!

Bursting with ripe red berry and white pepper flavors with a violety perfume. Medium-bodied and juicy, framed by soft tannins and fresh acidity.

This Pinot Gris proves to be very versatile at the table - try it with all sorts of cuisines. Fully ripe, juicy pears glow from the core of this balanced, rounded wine, with an edge of marzipan, bitter almond and a wonderfully textured center. The palate is rich but dry and stays on the side of restraint, despite the fullness.

This wine comes from a parcel in Morey Saint Denis, a coveted lieu-dit surrounded by grand crus. Every year it is the top wine in his cellar—the strength of this terroir makes its presence felt. This lush, full-fruited, sensual red Burgundy delivers the type of experience that only Pinot Noir from these parts can.

Succulent and bright, this interweaves crunchy red fruit into a cohesive whole of balanced freshness and high-acid tenacity, the tannins supportive in providing weight and grip. It's a unique volcanic soil site.

These are among the greatest winemaking achievements I have ever experienced. The 2013 Syrah Exposition 1 is 100% whole cluster, is just a mind-boggling wine. A wine of great intensity with an inky purple color, a beautiful, flowery nose of raspberries, black olives, violets and some exotic tropical fruits, it is rich, voluptuous, multi-layered and just spectacular.

There was no inclusion of stems on this particular wine. This is the most La Mouline-like of the trio, no doubt because of
the high percentage of Viognier, with extraordinary bacon fat, violets, lychee, black raspberry, sweet cherry, licorice and tapenade. The wine is velvety textured, full-bodied, but wonderfully pure, rich and striking.

It reveals floral smells, citrus and delicate tones such as cocoa and roasted vanilla reminiscent passing through the cuvee French oak. Subtle acidity that fills the mouth with fruit flavors, perfect balance of roasted taste than any dull moment his brilliant sense of freshness, leading to a potentially long-lived wine. Barrel Age 100% French barrel-fermented

For the serious sake drinker. It is very dry throughout the mouth and ends in a "he-man" sort of finish. Nevertheless there is a strong presence of fennel and hops and this is underscored by an unripe strawberry vein. It is extremely clean in viscosity and texture and flavorful enough to drink all night!

The nose, like its name, is indeed brilliant, filled with all sorts of peach, apple and pear scents. Omachi rice yields deep and rich flavors and this does not disappoint; you’ll taste nuts and bananas to pears and cooked coconut meat. The viscous mouth-feel is chewy and plump.

Known as "The Volcanic Loire" boasting soil of granite and volcanic basalt giving gamay both minerality and drive, Serol is the premier producer in the Cote Ronnaise. Serve slightly chilled to show off its dark cherry, black raspberry, bramble and spicy aromas. Savory herbs and a stony minerality take hold on the mid-palate and carry through to a bright acidity that’s balanced with a silky mouthfeel and rounded finish holding long on the palate.
