2022 Domaine St Remy  PINOT AUXERROIS –

$21.99 Value

Dry wine Pinot-Auxerrois is a variety of Pinot Blanc, with small berries and more intense aromas. This grape variety is tender and delicate, and it combines freshness and suppleness to represent a happy medium in the range of Alsace wines. Of great power and remarkable fruitiness, the wines from this sandy-granitic and clay-granitic terroir present a sumptuous balance. In the mouth, while being dry, it gives off a roundness, a subtlety, and a reserve of good quality. It has an enveloping persistence, but it is never excessive. Suitable for terrines, pâtés, various salads. This wine is all about Turkey, Cranberry Sauce, and plenty of Mac and Cheese. So, we have 20 cases on offer. Jump on it

Our answer to Pinot Grigio is this delightful and rich expression of the grape when grown in Alsace. And while we still love a great Italian PG, this is a more serious version of the variety. The wine is immediately plush on the pallet and fills the mouth with a soft blanket of fruit and subtle spice. I want a basket of fried shrimp with plenty of remoulade. But one could be forgiven for pounding this after work or while reading the bathtub. This could be considered liquid self-care. We have about 10 cases of this beauty directly from France. Get it while it lasts.

Domaine St Remy Non-Vintage Cremant d’Alsace  

$23.99 Value

Our answer to the brutal proliferation of bad sparkling wine. Why pay twenty-five bucks for some wretched commercially produced Prosecco when you can drink this exceptional sparkling wine from Alsace that will rival anything in this price category?  Crémant Brut Prestige made from 50% Pinot Auxerrois, 40% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir.

After a traditional fermentation, the foam will naturally take place in the bottle, thanks to a second fermentation. After an aging period of 2 to 3 years for this crémant called "sur latte", the bottles are turned daily on their tips so that the deposit collects in the neck. Then, the disgorging takes place; the deposit is evacuated by cooling, dosed, recorked, and muzzled. It is a very pleasant crémant with a beautiful color and aromas of fresh fruit and toasted nuts. It is a fresh and dense wine with a gorgeous creamy foam.

James Suckling 92/100: “A fairly generous sparkling wine for Alsace, with the kind of creamy complexity and lees that you expect from a good champagne. Along with the brioche note, there are also notes of honey and candied lemon. Long finish with excellent harmony.”

2023 Domaine St Remy Pinot Noir Reserve

$29.99 Value

Going out on a limb here, but I do not think another Pinot Noir on the market is as complete and delicious as this bottling under $30. When I tasted this wine at the estate last November, it was the wine that moved me the most. I knew we needed a full-time red wine in the cellar to balance the big and bold Rosso from Due Santi. What we have here is its ethereal opposite. The wine is delicate but packed with classic Pinot Noir red fruits, delicious savory herbs, and warm spices. I cannot stress enough how great this wine is for its price. This crushes grocery store classics like La Crema. It is the wine we will burn through the most during Thanksgiving. But do not think it can’t stand up to steak or venison from the hunt. This wine drinks like it costs $60 a bottle. So, buy at least two. Wow!

2020 Chateau La Croix Calendreau, Bordeaux Superieur

In Bordeaux’s Saint-Emilion appellation, Chateau La Croix Calendreau exists. The owners of this chateau also own vineyard holdings around the city of Libourne, which are classified as Bordeaux Superieur. As confusing as it might be, the wine made from those holdings is also known as La Croix Calendreau. The vital distinction is the Bordeaux Superieur suffix.

In what seems more the norm than the exception, the 2020 vintage in Bordeaux was stellar. The weather enabled growers to raise a healthy fruit crop with optimal balance and expression. This humble Bordeaux Superieur punches through its class and price point. Medium/full-bodied, its fruit is expressive and dialed in to share the stage with its acidity, easy tannins, and structure.

*2020 Cotes-du-Rhone Mataro, Vignobles Boudinaud

Our delicious old friend, the Mataró is back! After interning stints in Australia and California, winemaker Thierry Boudinaud returned to France and began to apply his skills in crafting some of the better values from the southern Rhone Valley and its environs. One of which is a Cotes-du-Rhone made entirely from Mourvedre. Thierry calls it Mataro, the name of a city in Catalonia near Barcelona. The town's name became the vinous vernacular as another name for Mourvedre. Mourvedre is a highly late-ripening grape that thrives in warm climate zones with long, growing seasons. The south of France is a perfect place for that! Mourvedre can be super concentrated, full-bodied, and tannic, requiring a little patience and cellar time. Not Thierry's Mataro. One of the many likable things about it is its approachability and its plump purple fruit. Not overbearing or tight, it's an expressive and fruit-driven wine. It's a bottle; you need not worry about finishing it on the same day, as an opened bottle can last a couple of days on the counter.

For the 2020 Côtes-du-Rhone Mataro, expect aromas of brambly dark berry fruit and plummy purple berries up front, with layers of forest floor, earth, and spice lurking behind it. The palate is more medium to full-bodied, with charming fruit and a sturdy backbone. It finishes long and harmonious, the fruit persisting throughout the finish. Some may make a case that it makes for a fine cocktail wine, as its plummy fruit notes are charming, but to make it shine, try it with a slow-cooked beef brisket with a savory dry rub. This wine sings the next day after opening.
