2023 Domaine Garnier et Fils Chablis AOC
Chablis is a staple at Argaux. So when we decide to add a new one to the book, you better believe we have done our homework. This particular bottle was chosen after it won a blind tasting against 17 different bottles of Chablis. We invited our top Chablis clients to join us for the battle and this wine was voted #1. Enough said. It is a must-try.
Organic farming practices, native yeast fermentation, aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 11 months and filtered before bottling (no fining).
2019 Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Lavaux Saint Jacques’ Premier Cru
This rustic Pinot Noir hails from a premier cru climat just west of Gevrey-Chambertin. The palate is medium-bodied with rich and concentrated flavors, nice acidity, and integrated tannins. Aged for 19 months in barrel (50% new oak).
Like all of Burguet’s wines, this bottle is produced from organic (converting to biodynamic) fruit, native yeasts, and is bottled unfined / unfiltered. Only 50 cases produced.
2022 Chateau du Cèdre Cahors AOC Malbec
When you see Malbec, you probably think Argentina. However, the Malbec grape is actually native to Cahors and the French expression of this grape is deep, earthy and structured. It’s a total 180 from the common, fruit bomb Malbecs that line the shelves today. Next time you make a burger, pop this guy instead of your typical Cab.
Certified organic farming practices, hand-harvested, aged for 20-22 months in new oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
2022 Wonderland Project Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cab is grown on a west-facing slope, above the fog line, on the northern ridge of the Atlas Peak AVA. The palate is dense and complex, marked by a long and polished finish. All we can say is, there’s a reason this graces the wine list at French Laundry.
Organic farming practices, unfined/unfiltered, vegan-friendly, and only 1,000 cases produced.
