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.
If you like Sancerre, try this! Same grape, same winemaking methods, just from a neighboring village. It is bright and pure with a laser beam of citrus fruit and minerality. Perfect spring and summer sipper!
Certified organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, woman-winemaker and about 5,000 cases produced annually.
Enjoy this wine with goat cheese, sushi, Margaux’s Halibut Ceviche, Chicken Provençal, or this Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad!
Sancerre, Gruner Veltliner, Vermentino lovers – This one’s for you. Grown on the volcanic island of Ischia, this wine quite literally tastes like the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our director of imports enjoyed this wine for the first time with a large bowl of pasta alla vongole after an ocean dip. “The salty sea still lingering on my lips and this light, crisp wine on that hot day was unparalleled.”
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, minimal intervention winemaking and only 400 cases produced.
Pedro Méndez doesn’t yet have the world’s attention, but he’s well represented in Spain’s top restaurants, including dozens of Michelin-starred spots throughout the country, including País Vasco’s three-star Arzak. His micro-production of ancient-vine Albariño is a treat to say the least and we’ll take what we can get.
Sustainable farming practices and less than 300 cases produced annually
