___________________★ Wine List and Tasting Highlights★___________________
Gilbert Chon, Vieilles Vignes 'clos De La Chapelle' Muscadet-sur-lie, Loire, France, 2019 ($20)
- On the palate, the Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Chapelle Muscadet from Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie from Domaine Gilbert Chon from the Loire Valley region is a wine with a beautiful freshness. On the nose, the Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Chapelle Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie from Domaine Gilbert Chon from the Loire Valley region often reveals types of melon, fruit (fruit tree) or citrus aromas.
Domaine De Reuilly, Reuilly (Sauvignon Blanc)"Les Pierres Plates" Loire, France, 2020 (by Denis Jamain) ($24)
- This bottling is consistently one of the Loire’s finest Sauvignon Blancs, showing delicate lime and floral suggestions that sleekly envelop a chalky core. Enjoy it with oysters, with fresh goat cheese, or simply because it provides delightful refreshment at great value.
Isabelle Et Pierre Clément De Chatenoy, Classique Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc) Menetou Salon, Loire Valley, France, 2020 ($24)
- This is an amazingly vivid white, bursting with pure aromas of citrus, white peach and flowers. On the palate, it has a precise concentration with long-lasting flavors of red grapefruit, apricot, and minerals.
Alphonse Mellot, La Moussière Sancerre Blanc, Loire Valley, France, 2020 ($36)
- La Moussiere is the crown jewel cuvee of this estate. Its unique fruitfulness and clarity truly define the style of an Alphonse Mellot. Voluptuous floral notes on the nose envelop the palate with a touch of white flowers and citrus; leaving a crisp refreshing finish.
- We are the only estate in Sancerrois to have the prestigious "hors concours" (beyond competition) distinction bestowed upon us, and the La Moussière vineyard is our cornerstone. Its terroirs, precious gifts from generations past, lie at the very heart of the Sancerre appellation. La Moussière is the estates's flagship cuvee, its richness, energy and precision defining the Alphonse Mellot style.
Domaine Fouet (Chenin) "Blanc L'ardillon" Saumur, Loire, France, 2020 ($24)
- At the head of the 22-hectare estate located at the heart of Saumur Champigny appellation, Julien conducts his vineyard according to organic agriculture principles. Made of Chenin, this Loire wine leaves a fruity, floral and mineral impression.
Domaine De Pallus, Messanges Rouges, Chinon, Loire, France, 2020 (Cab Franc) ($26)
- With this new vintage, the Domaine de Pallus reveals the charm and seductive character of Cabernet Franc. It has a floral and spicy character that pairs well with sausages and goat cheeses.
Romain Reverdy, Sancerre Rosé, Loire Valley, France, 2018 ($30)
- Fresh aromas of small red berries and citrus, beautiful floral notes, clean, fruity, and smooth on the palate. Great match with starters, grills, and spicy foods.
