Great new 2023 vintage. This is one of our top selling whites. It is not distributed in Missouri, we have to bring it over on our bi-annual French wine container.
2023 Horgelus Colombard - Sauvignon Blanc....$11.99
Varieties : 75% colombard, 25% Sauvignon Blanc
An exquisite marriage of Colombard and Sauvignon combine for a flavorful and refreshing wine with strong citrus (grapefruit, pineapple) and floral aromas (from the surrounding 75 acres of fields & meadows) on the nose. Cool temperature fermentations to release those aromas and reveal the intensity of the fruit.
This wine is an excellent choice for sushi and other shellfish. The fruitiness of this wine makes it a perfect offset for Moroccan style couscous dishes and tagines, as well as spicy Indian food. It also pairs beautifully with appetizers like croquettes or nachos. A perfect patio wine for St. Louis. Finished with a screwcap for easy opening on the patio, by the pool and for picnic

Great dry Rose
Roncier Vin de France Rose....$13.99
Blend of Gamay, Grenache, Cinsault
Grapes are harvested when it’s cooler, in fully ripe. Wine making : After destemming, berries are macerated during a few hours, and then are slowly pressed. Then, the derived pressed must is put into thermoregulated stainless steel vats, and fermentation will go on for 10 days or so. Once fermentation is over, wine is matured on lees before bottling.
This rosé wine shows a redcurrant colored robe with light reflections. It has very deep fruit aromas including cherry, raspberry and black berry. Well-structured on the palate, this wine is both nicely full-bodied and delightfully fruity. Wine and food pairing : bbq chicken skewers, paella, pizza and much more.

The 2023 is fantastic!!!
2023 Richemer Cotes de Thau Piquepoul...$13.99
Its aromatic profile shows citrus and grapefruit, which pairs beautifully well with Mediterranean cuisine. The signature of the Piquepoul however is a slight saline minerality on the palate which makes it the perfect seafood match. It is a versatile food wine for everyday. Great on its own enjoying outside on the patio. Enclosed with a screw cap too. Enjoy this great white!
Early morning picking and cold temperature fermentation to preserve freshness. Piquepoul is a grape that needs heat and sunshine to ripen nicely. However it requires cool temperature fermentation to express its crisp and powerful aromatic profile. It’s important to know that Piquepoul grows in a warm and dry climate, close to the Mediterranean sea. They are considered the largest Thau Basin port, known for its white wines which pair perfectly with oysters is ideal for sipping outside on a terrace.

One of our top selling CDRs!
2021 Le Grand Valmal Cotes du Rhone Villages Vieilles Vignes...$18.99
60% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre
This Rhone is the real deal and a sensational value!
Could easily be confused for a Chateauneuf du Pape. Floral notes accent fresh mixed berries in this 2021 Cotes du Rhone Villages that is made from a heavy portion of Old Vine Syrah along with Grenache and Mourvedre. The Syrah dominates and leads to a full-bodied wine but with silky tannins. It has a slight pepperiness to add some dimension and complexity. This wine is produced by the third generation on this estate and it is a fruit driven Cotes du Rhone with great roundness and complexity. A big wine!!

You can also order these wines online too!
