This month's Loire additions run all the way from Muscadet near the Atlantic to Sancerre in the east, with sparkling Chenin, tasty Cabernet Franc and two Crémants. Moulin Camus is a completely new producer for us that is illiciting much excitment and pleasure at very approachable price points.
Grower Champagne from Georges Laval, plus a chugger from Amis de Beauregard.
Guy Breton is one of the original "Gang of Four," and his Gamays are absolutely smashable.
Alpine reds from Poulsard and Mondeuse, whites from Jacquère and Bergergon, plus sparkling and Macvin.
From the Gaillard family in the North, down to Crève Coeur and Domaine des Anges in the south, there is definitely something to tickle all fancies.
Four bottlings from Borie de Maurel in Minervois, from the easy-drinking Esprit d'Automne up to the hedonistic Belle de Nuit.
Crissante Alessandria brings three Baroli, and Dave Fletcher's offerings cover everything from Chardonnay to seriously age worthy Barbaresco.
Spain this month covers refreshing Basque Txakoli, thought-provoking Catolonian reds, and a run of esoteric wines made by small family production focusing on their regions' indigenous grapes.
The 2025 Rieslings are arriving: There is a plethora of options to quench your thirst whether you're after bone dry or perfectly sweet. There are even some sneaky older Mosel Kabinetts (1997 and 2015) should you wish to see just how well Riesling can age.
It's also worth noting we've added another German producer to our portfolio through Schregel, and the last vintage of Enderle & Moll to ever exist has landed on our shelves.
Lyrarakis works with native Cretan grapes, including Vidiano, Liatiko and Mandilari, that you likely won't find anywhere outside of Greece.
