Moron-Garcia, Marsannay “Clos du Roy”

If you’re already in the know about trending Burgundy superstar Moron-Garcia, a tip of the hat to you. With old-school farming, new-age winemaking, and a growing collection of micro-bottlings, Moron-Garcia is poised to be Burgundy’s next up-and-coming producer. And if “Clos du Roy” means something, here’s a deferential bow: This medieval, walled vineyard in the northern stretches of fabled Côte de Nuits has emanated blue-blooded royalty for over 600 years. There’s a reason Kermit Lynch calls this prized vineyard “one of Burgundy’s better-kept secrets.”

Organic farming, 25% whole cluster, 12 months in once-used French oak—this super-limited 2018 release is brawny, powerful, and charmingly intense.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
