Arrivals Corner
Always and again! Champagnes! Grower Champagnes! We considered renaming ourselves the Champagne Cellar for 2022...! This month, we have returns of beautiful cuvées from winemakers we love very much! The lovely Champagnes from Clément Perseval in Chamery on the Montagne de Reims, excellent value for money with his Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé or his vintage 2014 Blanc de Blancs cuvée. New arrivals from Frères Laherte in Chavot, very close to Epernay, a lovely extra-brut cuvée "Ultradition" from a blend of parcels and grape varieties, then some very beautiful single-parcel cuvées "Nature de Craie", "Les Empreintes 2015", "Petit Meslier" in very, very limited quantities. And of course, Thomas's favorite, Chartogne-Taillet Champagnes and their unconditional Saint-Anne cuvée, available in bottle or magnum... Note a 2013 bottling for the magnum and a disgorgement in November 2021, which promises magnificent tasting moments... 🥂
From the Loire region, we've brought in new arrivals from La Trochoire, our small 3-hectare Chinon estate planted only with white grapes, and notably its cuvée from a long maceration of Chenin, a small delight of ripe fruits, with a vibrant and slightly tannic texture, a great wine for original food & wine pairings! Also a small novelty from Claire et Florent Béjon, the natural cuvée "Pain Perdu" from a calcareous single-parcel selection. And then, another newly arrived macerated white 🧡: the cuvée "Ch M3 Gn Cf 2020" from Guillaume Noire, a surprising maceration of Chenin and pressed Grolleau / Cabernet Franc! His other juicy cuvées were on the same wagon and are back in the cellar!
New at the cellar! Some nice and natural cuvées from Fond Cyprès in the Corbières! The vineyard began its total organic conversion from 2004 to 2010, then they refined their winemaking to be as natural as possible alongside their Burgundian friend, and no stranger to the industry, Frédéric Cossard. Discover it here!
A little getaway to one of Spain's most beautiful appellations 😍 located in León: Bierzo! It is in this very beautiful vineyard, located in continuity with Galicia, that Cesar Marquéz, nephew of the famous Raul Pérez, has been working since 2015 with a true mosaic of 52 plots that he infuses for a long time. Discover his "small" but super cool "Paraje" cuvée, full and juicy, and also his very beautiful white cuvée made from Godello, a linear white wine of great finesse!
Finally, as raclette and fondue savoyarde are more than ever in season, we have what you need: the saline and very tonic wines made from Jacquère and Altesse from Domaine Dupasquier!!
