For most of the 20th century, the Calabretta wines were sold in barrels to restaurant owners and private customers, with some coming from as far away as Piedmont to reserve their coveted stash.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The Calabrettas actually didn't bottle the wine for sale until 1997,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as they saw Etna changing rapidly around them and sought to preserve the old ways. They still do things the way they did a century ago. No synthetic pesticide has ever been sprayed in their vines, every bit of work is done by hand, and winemaking is extremely hands-off in the cellar, with totally spontaneous ferments and no fining. Most importantly, like the Barolos of yesteryear (the ones we still enjoy today at 60+ years of age), they age their \"Vigne Vecchie\" for as long as they feel necessary in massive old oak casks, sometimes up to seven years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2016 “Vigne Vecchie” pours a deep ruby with bricking at the edges, a dead ringer for Barolo to the eye. The nose is reminiscent of Barolo too, with tar and cedar notes. But the fruit profile leans darker, with dried black cherries and blackberry liqueur, a dried plum element, backed by hallmark black pepper and volcanic earth.

As perennial favorites of \u003cem\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e and Jancis Robinson, he was riding high, that is until Monpertuis’ owner sold the estate and Gasq was forced to stop making Châteauneuf altogether. For years, I had my fingers crossed in hopes that, one day, he would return to this renowned terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 2015, I had all but given up, assuming his old CdPs would eventually be resigned to folklore and “back in my day” stories. Then, in 2015, Gasq unexpectedly emerged with one of the most expressive and memorable Châteauneuf-du-Papes I had tasted in a long time, and that’s when I learned he hadn’t been living in seclusion. In fact, it was his dream to return here all along: His years of “absence” had been spent hunting down the most prime cut of CdP vines—a scant 1.5 hectares of half-century-old vines in “Pied de Baud,” among my favorite \u003cem\u003elieu-dits\u003c\/em\u003e (named sites) in the region. The rest was history. With his organic farming and insane talent in the cellar, this momentous micro-bottling instantly became a new standard-setter for Châteauneuf. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn humble, old-school \u003cem\u003evigneron\u003c\/em\u003e fashion, Gilles Gasq doesn’t splash his name in big letters across the front label of his wine. The biggest print is reserved for the appellation, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and his domaine name, La Manarine. But for those who appreciate masterful, Grenache-driven CdP, that little “Gilles Gasq et ses enfants” at the bottom looms very large: Gasq is one of Châteauneuf’s great modern-era talents, having crafted some of the most authentic and critically beloved wines in the region at the legendary Domaine Monpertuis well over a dozen years ago. After that iconic property was sold, Gasq regrouped and went to work securing what he believes to be the region’s best sliver of vines. Then, he debuted his Domaine La Manarine Châteaunuef to major fanfare in 2015. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Gasq is one of the great cellar talents of the region, there’s so much more to this wine. First off, most CdP reds at this price point tend to be a mishmash of multiple vineyards, purchased fruit, and an ever-changing blend of varieties. Gasq’s, on the other hand, is 100% organically farmed, old-vine Grenache Noir from two of the finest (and adjacent) vineyard sites in the appellation. Covered in the region’s famous \u003cem\u003ecailloux\u003c\/em\u003e stones, “Cabrières” is one of the most celebrated vineyard parcels in the northern half of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation and makes up 25% of this wine. Not to be outdone, the “Pied de Baud” vineyard makes up the remaining 75%. Pied de Baud is a gorgeous, ancient site that forms the backbone of one of my all-time favorite Southern Rhône reds, Bois de Boursan’s $100-per-bottle “Cuvée des Felix.” This is pedigreed real estate and you can taste it in every delicious drop of today’s wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 50% de-stemming, spontaneous fermentations, and 18 months of aging in a 20:80 mix of neutral oak \u003cem\u003edemi-muids \u003c\/em\u003eand epoxy-lined steel tanks, Manarine’s 2021 unfined\/unfiltered “Pied de Baud” dominates both aromatically and texturally. Around 60 degrees, it storms out of a Burgundy stem with unbridled lushness in the form of dark cherry liqueur, boysenberry, raspberry coulis, currant, sweet licorice, an assortment of blue and red flowers, anise, exotic spice, and hints of charred garrigue. The palate is lush, full-bodied, lifted, and exceedingly pure. As displayed in the previous two vintages, an exuberant and inexhaustible sense of energy and balance here keeps the wine pleasing to the palate and irrepressibly delicious after many hours. Sadly, I can’t say that about very many Southern Rhône reds these days, so this is a real treat! There are only a few hundred cases on the planet and I fully expect that, just like 6-7 years ago, Gasq’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape is going to be a global sensation before long.

Naoussa and Amyndeon—its two core pillars—are high-altitude, lake-influenced, and dramatically seasonal, and Kir-Yianni has spent decades mapping these sites, parcel by parcel, to match varieties with specific soils and exposures. In Amyndeon, where “The North” is born, the combination of sandy, poor soils and cool nights gives naturally small berries, intense aromatics, and a tension that feels much more “mountain Mediterranean” than sun-drenched Aegean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e“The North” is Kir-Yianni’s love letter to Assyrtiko in this cooler, continental corner of Macedonia, far from its famous volcanic home on Santorini. Here, Assyrtiko trades ocean spray and lava rock for altitude, sand, and a more linear, alpine expression: think citrus and stone fruit framed by cut-glass acidity and a fine, stony edge. Fermented in stainless steel and fleshed out on its lees, the wine is crafted to showcase precision over power, freshness over heft. It’s the kind of white that quietly overperforms at the table and, like the estate itself, has helped redefine what “modern Greece” means in the fine wine world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end font-editorial font-bold text-base first:mt-0\" id=\"why-youll-love-it\"\u003eWhy you’ll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eIt delivers Assyrtiko’s hallmark spine of acidity and salinity in a cooler, high-altitude style that’s refreshing, incisive, and endlessly drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe fruit profile walks a beautiful line between lemon, peach, and subtle florals, with just enough lees-derived texture to feel serious without getting heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eIt offers estate pedigree and thoughtful winemaking at a price that still feels like a discovery, making it a perfect “house” Mediterranean white for the cellar and the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end font-editorial font-bold text-base first:mt-0\" id=\"how-to-serve-it\"\u003eHow to serve it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eServe well-chilled but not icy—around 45–50°F—so the aromatics can stretch from citrus and stone fruit into more floral and mineral territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePour it in a white Burgundy or all-purpose stem to let the mid-palate texture and minerality really register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePair it with simply prepared seafood (grilled fish, sardines, calamari), lemony roast chicken, or mezze—think fried zucchini, taramosalata, and salty cheeses—to mirror its brightness and saline snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44842132537398,"sku":"SOMM2602-KIR25ASS-750","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2025Kir-YianniAssyrtikoTheNorth_PGIFlorina_alsointheMarchE3Wt..png?v=1771972530"},{"product_id":"2023-fredric-magnien-vieliles-vignes-nuits-saint-goergessomm2603-fmg23bur-750","title":"2023 Frédéric Magnien Vieilles Vignes Nuits Saint Georges","description":"\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eFrédéric Magnien grew up in Morey-Saint-Denis, in a house where Pinot Noir was less a crop than a language spoken from one generation to the next. As the fifth generation of the Magnien clan, he apprenticed in the family’s Michel Magnien vineyards before doing the obligatory grand tour of Burgundy’s elite cellars and a formative stint abroad, then came home with a mission: to bottle Côte de Nuits terroir with as little “makeup” as possible. That’s the genesis of his micro-négociant project—long-term contracts with serious growers, certified-organic parcels, biodynamic sensibility, and a cellar full of used barrels and clay vessels that let place do the talking. In Nuits-Saint-Georges, he zeroed in on old vines on the Vosne-Romanée side, where the village’s famously sinewy structure meets a more perfumed, silky register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is the latest chapter in that story: 50+ year-old Pinot rooted in gravelly, alluvial soils that sit in the cool air corridor of the Meuzin valley, giving fruit with both muscle and lift. Here, Magnien’s gentle, native-yeast fermentations and low-oak élevage don’t try to sand down Nuits’ character so much as refine it—tannins are firm but polished, fruit is vivid rather than jammy, and the signature Nuits earth and iron hum beneath a high-toned, almost Vosne-like bloom of spice and flowers.

While much of Provence has chased the trend of ultra-pale, simple rosés, Pradeaux has steadfastly maintained its traditional approach. Farmed organically on an amphitheatrical clay-limestone terroir facing the Mediterranean, their vines—some reaching eighty years of age—yield fruit of profound concentration. This release is a testament to purity and precision, crafted from a dominant base of Mourvèdre balanced with Cinsault and a touch of Grenache.

It is a wine that doesn't rely on flash but instead leans into nuance: a distinctive salmon-tangerine hue, lifted aromatics, and a palate that glides with effortless balance. This is the kind of bottle that reminds you why Bandol remains Provence's most revered terroir for rosé—where Mourvèdre's savory depth meets a whisper-light touch. It is a serious, age-worthy wine that invites you to explore its profound complexity rather than rush through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA luminous, almost tangerine hue sets the stage for a rosé that is all about finesse and savory intrigue.

On the palate, it is impossibly delicate yet quietly structured—silky, refreshing, and seamlessly balanced. Waves of citrus, stone fruit, and mineral-tinged freshness glide across the tongue, finishing with a clean, mouthwatering snap that begs for another sip.

He spends his days in the tractor or walking the rows at La Chêne Marchand and Le Désert du Petit Bannon, managing yields, canopy exposure, and phenolic maturity with a level of detail that is rare in an appellation where much of the wine tastes formulaic and non‑descript. The 2024 Sancerre Blanc is emblematic of that philosophy: a wine that carries the appellation’s classic slatey, saline backbone but with an extra dimension of precision, texture, and aromatic lift, such that it now drinks far more expansively than any other Sancerre at its price while still retaining the freshness and structure expected of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"why-youll-love-it\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\"\u003eWhy you’ll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eRight now, the 2024 Sancerre Blanc is in a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“switch‑flipped” drinking window: one year after its initial release, it has opened up with exceptional generosity, yet it still feels racy and focused—delivered at a retail level that undercuts the market expectations for wines of this depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe combination of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLa Chêne Marchand’s stony structure and Le Désert du Petit Bannon’s siliceous, flinty energy\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egives the wine a three‑dimensional mouthfeel—bright citrus and fresh herbs over a core of wet stone and subtle barrel‑derived texture—without ever feeling heavy or overtly oak‑influenced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAmong many Sancerre producers we taste—the 2024 Millet stand out for being so\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eprecise, technically assured, and texturally nuanced, making it an ideal “hero” Sancerre to enjoy at home for the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\" id=\"how-to-serve-it\"\u003eHow to serve it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eServe at\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e46–48°F in white\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eBurgundy or medium‑sized white‑wine stems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy with raw oysters, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eseared scallops with brown butter, lemon, and parsley, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eor moules frites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Gerard_Millet_s_Sancerre_Vineyards_1.png?v=1776423627\" alt=\"Domaine Gérard Millet\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45147135049782,"sku":"SOMM2604-DGM24SAN-750","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2024DomaineGerardMillet_SancerreBlanc.png?v=1774463257"},{"product_id":"2021-virna-borgogno-barolo-sarmassasomm2604-vir21bar-750","title":"2021 Virna Borgogno, Barolo \"Sarmassa\"","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven in Barolo, few estates match the historical significance of the Borgogno family.

Luca started his estate in 2007 in Chiuro, working hand-harvested grapes from old vines on 1,000-year-old stone terraces; this wine sees 10-12 days maceration, 16+ months in French oak, and 12 months in bottle in a 15th-century cellar. Grumello lies northeast of Sondrio—its high sites yield precise, mineral Nebbiolo with fragrant fruit and long aging potential, distinct from richer Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe name honors Ortensio Lando, a Milanese Renaissance writer (c.1510-1558) who called Valtellina wines the world’s best; a former monk turned satirist, his banned works praised this valley’s output.

Bonserine was offically established in 1972 with a focus on serious hillside viticulture, and its later association with Guigal only strengthened its reach without erasing its identity. \"La Sarrasine\" is drawn from steep, schist- and mica-rich slopes that define the appellation, giving the wine the kind of aromatic lift, mineral tension, and savory depth that make Côte-Rôtie so compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2009 vintage sits in that generous, ripe Rhône sweet spot: plush enough to be immediately appealing, but built with enough structure to age gracefully.

What truly sets it apart is the élevage: the wine is aged in century-old foudres under a veil of flor, a technique more commonly associated with the Jura or Jerez.

They selected the very best bunches, the ripest from each plant, using the eight different soils\/textures they have. It fermented in used 400-liter barrels, where the wine matured with the full lees for nine months. It has a bright almost fluorescent color and complexity, depth, clout, freshness and elegance, with a lot of subtleness and notes of truffle, spices and herbs. The super-balanced palate has citrus freshness, tangerine, herbs and a salty twist. This goes way beyond being a varietal wine‡it's elegant, mineral and complex, one of the best Alvarinho\/Albari¤o wines in the world. There is a crystalline purity here that is breathtaking. For Anselmo Mendez, 2019 was an exceptional year, and the wine should be truly long lived. 4,000 bottles were filled in June 2020 and kept for no less than 54 months in bottle before it was released in early 2025.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-c3301d4f-7fff-48dc-010d-a09bb7b00b31\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45534338744374,"sku":"SOMM2605-AME19ALV-750","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2019AnselmoMedes_ATorre_Alvarinho_VinhoVerde_7ee25a3e-06b1-4408-a7bf-694efc90ce5f.png?v=1777417779"},{"product_id":"2023-bodega-chacra-pinot-noir-lunita-rio-negro-valley","title":"2023 Bodega Chacra, Pinot Noir “Lunita, Rio Negro Valley","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto flex flex-col pointer-events-auto max-w-threadContentWidth gap-md md:gap-lg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col gap-md @3xl:gap-lg w-full pt-md @3xl:pt-lg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-state=\"active\" data-orientation=\"horizontal\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"radix-_r_4m_-trigger-default\" id=\"radix-_r_4m_-content-default\" class=\"focus:outline-none\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col @3xl:gap-y-lg gap-y-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gap-y-sm flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative font-sans text-base text-foreground selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-foreground dark:selection:bg-super\/10 dark:selection:text-super\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-w-0 break-words [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" id=\"markdown-content-11\" class=\"gap-y-md after:clear-both after:block after:content-['']\" lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eBodega Chacra sits in the Río Negro Valley of northern Patagonia, where dry desert conditions, low humidity, and the meeting of Andean river systems create one of the purest viticultural environments in South America. Founded in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, whose family history is rooted in Sassicaia, the estate was built around a simple ambition: to let Mainqué speak with as little interference as possible. Certified organic and biodynamic, Chacra works with a clear sense of place, making Pinot Noir that is transparent, floral, and finely mineral rather than ripe or muscular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eLunita is one of the estate’s most intimate wines, drawn from a very old, tiny, ungrafted vineyard that Piero and his team brought back to life over more than a decade.

Based in Lantignié, just west of Morgon, the Gauthier family has been farming these hills since 1953, when René Gauthier planted the seeds of what would become a quietly indispensable Beaujolais domaine. Today, Jacky and Evelyne Gauthier carry the torch, joined by their son Pierre-Alexandre, who brought formal viticulture and enology training back to the family table.

This is not generic Beaujolais; this is Cru Morgon, one of the region’s most serious addresses, and Charme is the named vineyard site that gives the wine its extra layer of identity and depth. In the glass, that cru distinction matters. You get the lifted perfume and bright energy you want from Gamay, but also the darker fruit, mineral spine, and quietly formidable structure that make Morgon such a cult favorite among Beaujolais insiders. Add in old vines, a south-facing site, carbonic fermentation, cement-vat élevage, and no filtration, and you’ve got a wine that drinks with both immediate pleasure and enough backbone to make you want a second bottle in the cellar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"why-youll-love-it\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eCru Beaujolais from Morgon, old vine depth, serious structure and serious deliciousness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e“Charme” is 80-100 year old vines yielding\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edark fruit with mineral tension and balance with some age-worthiness ahead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"how-to-serve-it\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\"\u003eHow to Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eServe it\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eslightly cool, around 55–60°F in Burgundy-style glass \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eDelectable with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eroast chicken, duck, mushrooms, charcuterie, or coq au vin, where Morgon’s savory depth really shines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Domaine-de-Colette-77.png?v=1779174090\" alt='2022 Domaine de Colette, Morgon \"Charme\", Cru Beaujolais' style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46146175926326,"sku":"SOMM2605-DDC22MOR-750","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2022DomainedeColette_MorgonCharme_CruBeaujolais.png?v=1778799669"},{"product_id":"2022-buscemi-sicilia-bianco-il-bianco","title":"2023 Buscemi, Sicilia Bianco '\"Il Bianco\"","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen you think of Eruption, you think of volcanic activity, exotic fruit exploding off the palate with mineral cutting crispness.

This is serious, soulful, boundary-pushing white wine that perfectly captures the untamed heartbeat of Etna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMolte Grazie!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Buscemi_Logo.png?v=1779605717\" alt=\"Buscemi Wine Logo\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46336693633078,"sku":"SOMM2605-BUS22SIC-750","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2022Buscemi_SiciliaBianco_IlBianco.png?v=1779117901"},{"product_id":"2023-remoissenet-pere-fils-chablis-aoc","title":"2023 Remoissenet Père \u0026 Fils, Chablis AOC","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto flex flex-col pointer-events-auto max-w-threadContentWidth gap-md md:gap-lg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col gap-md @3xl:gap-lg w-full pt-md @3xl:pt-lg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"focus:outline-none\" id=\"radix-_r_j_-content-default\" aria-labelledby=\"radix-_r_j_-trigger-default\" role=\"tabpanel\" data-orientation=\"horizontal\" data-state=\"active\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col @3xl:gap-y-lg gap-y-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gap-y-sm flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative font-sans text-base text-foreground selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-foreground dark:selection:bg-super\/10 dark:selection:text-super\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-w-0 break-words [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv lang=\"en\" class=\"gap-y-md after:clear-both after:block after:content-['']\" id=\"markdown-content-79\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"has-inline-images my-2 first:mt-0 [\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])+\u0026amp;:has([data-inline-type=image])_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden [\u0026amp;:has(table)_[data-inline-type=image]]:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:first-child]:mt-0 [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;*:last-child]:mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-renderer=\"lm\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eRemoissenet Père \u0026amp; Fils is a storied, Beaune‑based négociant that has been a quiet force in Burgundy for over a century, now repositioned as a modern benchmark for limited‑production, high‑intensity white Burgundy. The house operates out of a historic complex in the heart of Beaune, with its vast network of underground cellars beneath the cobblestone streets, but its reach extends far beyond town into some of the Côte‑de‑Beaune and Chablis’s most compelling sites. Remoissenet is best known among collectors for its Meursault and Chassagne‑Montrachet bottlings, but the 2023 Chablis marks a powerful argument that its Chablis is just as essential: a village‑level white that reads more like a “blue‑chip” selection, made from sustainably farmed Chardonnay in the vineyards surrounding the village of Chablis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2023 Remoissenet Père \u0026amp; Fils Chablis AOC captures the classic nerve and purity of the region while adding a touch of opulence that speaks to the house style. The wine opens with a bright, shimmering yellow‑gold hue and aromas of white peach, green and yellow apple, lemon blossom, white flowers, fresh almonds, and rain‑soaked stones, all underpinned by the tense, mineral‑driven energy Chablis is famous for. On the palate it is racy yet generous, with a long, chiseled finish and a balance that makes it both delicious now and capable of aging gracefully for several years. Decanting for about 30 minutes coaxes out its texture and concentration, revealing a wine that feels like a serious, cellar‑worthy white Burgundy wearing a surprisingly accessible village‑level label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"why-youll-love-it\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eVillage‑level Chablis that drinks like a higher‑tier, blue‑chip Burgundy, with real tension, minerality, and age‑worthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eOpulent but precise: generous fruit and texture without sacrificing the racy Chablis acidity and stony backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eLimited and U.S.‑exclusive release, making it a rare chance to collect a small‑production, négociant‑made Chablis from a Beaune‑based Burgundy powerhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"how-to-serve-it\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\"\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eChill to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003earound 50–54°F to let the fruit and minerals show clearly without muting the wine’s tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eServe in medium‑sized white Burgundy stems and decant for about 30 minutes to open up the wine’s richness and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePair with oysters, shellfish, Dover sole, roast chicken, or mild, creamy cheeses, where its acidity and energy cut through richness while the texture holds up to flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46390010314806,"sku":"SOMM2605-REM23CHA-750","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2023RemoissenetPere_Fils_ChablisAOC.png?v=1779381245"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/collections\/Somm_Bottle_Lineup_b2f1f598-5f17-4977-8509-d022015e24bf.png?v=1759908003","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/collections\/daily-discovery-active-1.oembed?page=2","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
