THANKSGIVING 2023

TOP-10 LIST!

GORGEOUS GRENACHE BLANC FROM THE SOUTHERN RHONE

Domaine de Piaugier stands proudly at the feet of the jagged Dentelles de Montmirail in the Vaucluse department between the villages of Séguret and Gigondas. The Autran Legacy of wine growers produced their first wine in 1985 in the cellars built by Alphonse Vautour in 1947.


Varietal: 100% Grenache Blanc from 30 year old vines planted on the slopes of Cheval Long à Sablet AOP.


Taste: This white Grenache is delicate, pure and intense with lime and tangerine that mark the nose along with some subtle notes of stone fruit and tulips/daisies. On the palate it shows a beautiful amplitude with streaks of honey and candlewax that lend weight to the yellow-apple and pear flavors in this broad-shouldered Rhone white. Fermented and matured in oak demi muid, it is a rounded, dry white that finishes with just a hint of smoke and vanilla bean. 


It's #10 on our list!

GAMAY WITH DEPTH & STRUCTURE FROM ONE OF REGION'S ASCENDING STARS

Mee Godard is a perfectionist vigneronne with a philosophy to produce wines that are both elegant & alive. With broad experience at Maison Chanson, Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Chateau de Corton-Andre her wines have been described as possesing "soul". The 2021 Corcelette is an irresistible bottling thanks a mostly whole-cluster approach and a patient élévage in neutral wood.


Varietal: 100% Gamay from the Corcelette vineyard (avg. 70 years old) on south-east-facing granite slopes from two vineyards, Bellevue and Montillet.


Taste: A subtle and complex Morgon that's sleek, concentrated and pristine with a perfume of red forest berries that is laced with touches of spice and freshly tilled earth. Medium to full-bodied, bright and succulent on the palate with a fleshy core of fruit. Long, focused finish with stony minerality that give it a wonderful tension and an austere elegance.


It's #9 on our list!

$49/bottle

A LIVELY & VIBRANT SYRAH WITH A RICH, DARK & COMPLEX PROFILE

Jean-François Jacouton is a small, family-owned winery located in the southern section of the Saint-Joseph appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France. The winery continues to do the majority of the work by hand and is known for producing exceptional Syrahs that are well balanced and true to the granite-rich slopes bordering the Rhône river.


Varietal: 100% Syrah from the terraced vineyards in the village of Ozon in the Saint Joseph AOC.


Taste: Beautiful ruby color with purple hues in the glass. The very pleasant nose is characteristic of a ripe Syrah with black fruits and pepper at first. The bouquet then evolves to incorporate a touch of violet and a hint of smoked meat. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, cassis, and a touch of oak. The mid-palate is well-structured with firm tannins and a lively acidity that enhances the fruit. The finish is long and satisfying, with notes of licorice, spices, and a touch of minerality. 


It's #8 on our list!

$48/bottle

ELEGANT & PERFUMED TOP-END CRÉMANT THAT RIVALS CHAMPAGNE

The acronym "Breit" comes from Hangenbriete, the vineyard André Pfister started making Crémant from in the early 1980s. Mélanie is the eighth generation of Pfisters leading the winery that dates back to 1780. She is the first woman in the line of succession, and did internships at the following estates: Zind-Humbrecht (Alsace), Méo-Camuzet (Burgundy), Château Cheval Blanc (Saint Emilion), Château d’Yquem (Sauternes) and Craggy Range (New Zealand).


Varietal: 50% Chardonnay & 50% Pinot Blanc. The wine rests on its lees for a minimum of twenty-four months (most French Crémant, regardless of origin, ages on its lees for about nine months or so). Production averages 800 cases annually. Extra Brut style (Dosage of 3-4 g/L).


Taste: Pale gold with a rich mousse in the glass, this Crémant offers rich aromas of fresh brioche, yellow apple skin, white peach, green grape, and wet limestone on the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a fine core and excellent soil signature. Brisk acids and a long balanced and quite dry finish. 


It's #7 on our list!
