Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. Loves this Wine: Elegance alert!  Medium bodied, richly flavored with classic forest floor and cedar scents.  Lots of smooth tannins just asking for a simple steak with pommes frites (French fries!).  Hard to believe this quality for the price point… A large, gorgeous property that’s a stone’s throw from the A+ estates of Beychevelle, Gruaud Larose and Branaire-Ducru.  The owners have lobbied more than once to have their appellation changed to St-Julien.

Madeline Triffon MS - ”Textbook Albarino—rich and floral scented, quite dry with mouth filling orchard fruit flavors (think golden apples and dried apricots). If dry Riesling and Gruner Veltliner had a baby…"

Why Travis R. loves this wine: "When speaking of this wine, Marcel Lapierre says 'It’s a wine... that you drink like a beer... when you don’t really want to drink a beer.'" If you have had the pleasure of their exquisite Morgon, these grapes come from the same area, but are made in a manner that produces a fun & friendly fruity-forward style, while still maintaining complexity. Enjoy with a slight chill."

Why Mike F. loves this wine: "50 year old Roussette vines from Frangy, a favored site in Savoie. Has the fatness of Chardonnay but with dazzling minerality. Made even more exotic and fetching by gingerbread, green apple and stone fruit notes."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: Purple-black in the glass, the oak sings with notes of ripe black plum and cassis, all carried along with a velvety fine-grained tannin. Delish!

Madeline Triffon, M.S. - "Stunning quality alert! This is a “PG” way beyond any commercial expression, ideal for all holiday celebrations. The texture is satiny-smooth, and yet refreshing. There’s richness to the flavor that combines ripe pears and peaches laced with Meyer lemon, no sweetness, just deep flavor . The wine manages to be fresh and full, savory and creamy-dry in the same sip. A sure crowd pleaser, bridging the gap between novice wine drinkers and sophisticates. Made by the ramato process, fermenting the juice on Pinot Grigio’s light red skins, resulting in a very pale coppery color."
