Amirault 'Le Clos des Quarterons' Vieilles Vignes 2019, 0.75L
Cabernet Franc from Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil , Loire
“The 2019 Vieilles Vignes is not a single site wine but a blend of different old vines across the different parcels from 40-95 years old vines. It marks a step up in the range. It's a supple and well concentrated style with fine purity of fruit while the tannins are fine and chalky. It's a focused style with spice, delicate smoky notes and dark raspberry fruit. Delightfully handled tannins that coat the palate and make this one to drink over the medium term.” 92, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, Aug 2022

Château de Fosse-Sèche Laurasie Rouge 2019, 0.75L
Cabernet Sauvignon from Saumur, Loire
"Darker in its ruby color, the 2019 Laurasie is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon from almost 20-year-old vines on the stony Jurassic plateau of Fosse-Sèche, where yields are not bigger than 20 hectoliters per hectare. This is fleshy and concentrated yet pure, fresh and elegant on the deep, terroir-driven and beautifully floral (violets) as well as graphitic nose that is absolutely distinctive in its delicate, pure and balanced style. Black and blue berries, dark cherries, green paprika, pencil lead and herbal, wet gravelly notes lead to a medium to full-bodied, highly elegant, refined and perfectly balanced palate that exhibits perfectly ripe, round and juicy fruit with a firm but ripe, very fine and elegant tannin/acidity complex. The finish of this concentrated red is tight, intense and spicy, showing black berry and chocolate as well as graphite and coal with dark cherry notes. Irresistible and, in 2019, possibly the finest wine from Fosse-Sèche. The wine was aged for 12 months in concrete eggs. Tasted in January 2021." 94 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Château de Fosse-Sèche Saumur Blanc Arcane 2020, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Saumur, Loire
"Located at the end of the Plateau de Brossay, which is unique to Saumur in that it does not have limestone. The site is slightly convex with fresh and windy exposure. Bbiodiversity is of paramount importance and no chemicals are used in the vineyard. Young Chenin vines and yields of 7hl/ha. Flint with gravel and clay soils. Hand harvested. Native yeast fermentation in egg-shaped concrete tanks. No racking before aging. Winemaking is approached naturally, so depending on the vintage, there is spontaneous malolactic fermentaion."

Château de Plaisance Anjou La Grande Piece 2021, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire
“The 2021 La Grande Pièce is one of the Plaisance's single vineyard wines. It's a less-frosted site with pudding stones creating a solar effect on the vines. Half aged in amphora and half in mainly-used barrels. Lemon, apple, almond croissant pastry. Excellent intensity, concentration and persistence. There's an element of tenderness, but linearity pervades this wine like a train on a track.” 92, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Château de Plaisance Anjou Zerzilles 2021, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire
“The 2021 Zerzilles is its usual powerful self, lying in wait like a lioness to pounce on her prey for her hungry lion cubs. It has a sudden spurt of power and energy striking through the palate. While light in body, it has innate power, masses of concentration and an electric charge of crackling acidity. This is a pup of a wine that's going to need time.” 95, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Daniel Chotard Sancerre Les Coutones 2022, 0.75L

Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Rouge Cuvee Les Arboises 2017, 1.5L
Cabernet Franc from Saumur, Loire
.“The 2017 Saumur Brézé Les Arboises, from the south-facing monopole that was planted on sand and silt topsoil over limestone bedrock in 1957, opens deep, intense and toasty on the concentrated and refreshing mineral, smoky and bloody nose that needs a lot of time to integrate its fruity aromas. Fermented in concrete and aged in barrels (80% new, 20% one year old) for 18 months, this is a full-bodied, silky, fresh and unadorned Cabernet Franc from 60-year-old vines. The finish is dry and clear but not extraordinarily complex or long. Honestly, I find this style too oaky, and on the finish, I miss a certain intensity, complexity and length, but I admit I don’t have experience with older vintages. Tasted in May 2021.” 92, Stephan reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Oct 2021

Domaine Huet Vouvray Petillant Brut 2019, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, Loire
.“Petillant is made by a variation of the methode ancestrale. The wine is bottled while there is still some sugar, and finishes its fermentation in the bottle to produce a gently bubbly wine. After 3+ years in the bottle, it is disgorged and given a balancing dosage - if necessary - from Huet’s library of older Vouvrays”. Producer Notes

(Drink between 2023-2028)”. 90, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, Oct 2023

Ogereau Savennieres Clos le Grand Beaupreau 2020, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Savennières, Loire
"An intense and tangy style bursting with acid-drive and energy. The 2020 Clos le Grand Beaupreau was fermented in 500-litrer barrels (2/3rds) and (1/3rd) in amphora. Due to the sandy soils on top of schist, it's a light to mid-weight style that floats along the palate, yet has an unrelenting power. Expect pear, apple and even a note of white pepper. (Drink between 2023-2035)" 93 Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous.com

Thierry Germain Domaine des Roches Neuves Franc De Pied 2020, 0.75L
Cabernet Franc from Saumur Champigny, Loire
The 2020 Franc de Pied is incredibly reductive when it was first opened and needed a lot of time and a swirl with a copper coin. If you can be patient ( 5 minutes with a penny in your glass, or your currency’s equivalent), It’s worth the wait. It reveals itself to be a richly fruited, savory style that fills the mouth with a balloon of chalky silkiness. The limestone element really shows itself on the long finish grained texture and sinew. As you’d hope from Saumyr-Champigny, there’s no sense of weight or heft. Detectable now but has the structure to develop over the coming two decades.” 94 Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, June 2022

Thierry Germain Domaine des Roches Neuves Les Memoires 2020, 0.75L
Cabernet Franc from Saumur Champigny, Loire
“The 2020 Les Memoires is a round and elegant Cabernet Franc. It’s a not-trying wine that exudes a sense of calm and ease as it rolls around your mouth seamlessly. Maybe it’s the 100-year old vines doing their thing. There’s no oak getting in the way, allowing the purity of fruit to shine. It remains true to its variety and place, while its light spice meets dark fruits. Forget the fruit flavors, this is all about refined texture and its fine, chalky, powdery veil of tannins lightly coating the palate. Long and textural, this is not a wine you’ll regret...” 94 Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, June 2022
