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 Madeline Triffon, M.S. loves this wine: "Quality right out of the gate - what an aroma!  Dried and fresh lavender, blueberry jam, oak spice, black licorice, and dusty earth.  The palate follows beautifully, is nicely edgy and speaks to a future.  Carillon, “bells”, is the second label of an iconic Right Bank star, the Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” Château Angelus.  The estate name comes from the Angelus prayers, in a spot where you can hear bells from 3 churches."

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."

Madeline Triffon, M.S.: "A bright French Sauvignon Blanc, essence of the varietal. Pungent grapefruit, parsley, green apple, and a salty breeze on the nose. Sleek, citrusy palate with herbal flavors. Refreshing with lemon-lime acidity and a rocky soil impression."

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.

Why Marc loves this wine: "Behind a color of white gold, we perceive typical fragrances of a young chardonnay, tiny white wallflowers. On the palate the richness of the fruit is present; the body is supported and balanced with oak, with a pleasant finish."
