Greek sailors from Phocaea established the nearby colony of Massalia (modern-day Marseille) in the sixth century BC, bringing their viticultural savvy to the region and planting what are thought to be Provence's first vineyards. The Romans later made their way here, establishing Cassis as an important fishing and commercial port while further developing the wine trade. Local wines earned an excellent reputation over the centuries, especially a sweet Muscat said to be among the Mediterranean's finest. In 1865, phylloxera struck, effectively destroying Provence's vineyards; when Cassis was replanted in the subsequent years, Muscat was left out in favor of Ugni Blanc, Clairette, and other grapes selected for production of dry whites. In 1936, Cassis gained the distinction of being named among France’s first official AOCs, in the elite company of Tavel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCassis is not only an active port, but what Kermit calls “an earthly paradise.” The vineyards of Clos Sainte Magdeleine are particularly stunning: they jut out on a private cape to meet majestic limestone bluffs, poised spectacularly above the sparkling, azure waters. The domaine also has prized holdings on steep terraces carved into the sensational Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff perched 400 meters over the Mediterranean. Only a dozen \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003evignerons\u003c\/span\u003e today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis (the appellation covers just 215 hectares), and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them. The Sack-Zafiropulo family has been making wine here for four generations and continues to craft whites of grace and finesse, just as they did when founder Jules Savon won the Gold Medal for the domaine at the World’s Fair in 1900. That they share their limited quantities with us makes this long-term relationship all the more special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViticulture and vinification at Clos Sainte Magdeleine are under the direction of Jonathan Sack, who took the reins from his father, François, in 2008. The domaine bottles both whites and rosés, the latter of which are especially limited. Sack completed conversion to organic viticulture in 2012, a philosophic progression after years of sustainable farming. He has also introduced new ideas from concrete egg vinification to experimentation with Vermentino, exploring the immense potential of this striking maritime \u003cspan class=\"MsoHyperlinkFollowed\"\u003eterroir\u003c\/span\u003e with curiosity and precision.

The Brunier portfolio within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC includes the red Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe La Crau, Piedlong and Télégramme, as well as the Vieux Télégraphe Blanc and Blanc Clos la Roquète. First up is the flagship La Crau, with vines averaging 70 years of age. This Grenache-based blend ages for up to 22 months in large 60-hectoliter French oak \u003cem\u003efoudres\u003c\/em\u003e. Having known this wine since childhood—my father regularly purchased it starting in the 1980s—I was curious about how the Brunier philosophy regarding the use of whole clusters has evolved over time. “My grandfather used 100% whole clusters, but mainly because he didn’t have a destemmer,” Nicolas Brunier explains. “When my father, Frédéric, and my uncle, Daniel, took over, they purchased a destemmer and reduced the whole-bunch proportion to around 5-10%. Today, it's back to around 20%, but only for old-vine Grenache and Syrah, where we find the stems are of the best quality. Stems enhance the wines’ aging potential, but we don’t want the wines to be too tannic when young, so it’s about finding the right compromise.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext up is the red Piedlong, from 50-to-70-year-old vines in a stony lieu-dit. The Brunier family acquired this plot in 1986 with Domaine de la Roquète. Vinification actually takes place at the Domaine de la Roquète facility. Discussing the differences between La Crau and Piedlong, Brunier notes that the Grenache from La Crau differs significantly from that of Piedlong: “They are harvested about 15 days apart, with Piedlong being the later-ripening site. The Grenache from Piedlong is more floral, while La Crau’s is more fruit-driven. In terms of aging, La Crau usually goes through a phase of closure between four and ten years, while Piedlong stays open and doesn’t close down.” Finally, Télégramme is a blend of both younger (40-year-old) and older vines, as well as a blend of terroirs, while Piedlong and La Crau are vineyard selections. In terms of winemaking, Télégramme undergoes a shorter élevage of up to 16 months in French oak \u003cem\u003efoudres\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning to the white wines, the partially barrel-fermented Vieux Télégraphe Blanc blends roughly 40% Clairette with 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc. Last but not least is the white Clos la Roquète, which blends one-third each of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette, all grown in the La Roquète lieu-dit. It matures in a combination of barriques, \u003cem\u003edemi-muids\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003efoudres\u003c\/em\u003e and is bottled after ten months. Readers should note that there is no 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau due to damage from summer hail. On the bright side, the Bruniers did bottle a 2022 Télégramme and Piedlong, with the latter showing particularly well. While the sampled 2023s show promise with fragrant and inviting profiles, I doubt they will reach the same depth and structure as the 2022s. The serious 2010 La Crau more than lives up to the winery’s stellar reputation, though it is still a few years from its prime drinking window. Finishing with the whites, the sapid 2017 Vieux Télégraphe Blanc has evolved immensely well. If I owned a bottle, I’d see no reason not to pop the cork—it’s drinking beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40027036942470,"sku":"TRY-KL-vieuxtele-CDP-rouge","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/VieuxTelegraphebottle1000x.jpg?v=1763974514"},{"product_id":"jb2349875","title":"CHAMPAGNE DELAMOTTE BRUT ROSE LE MESNIL NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eCHAMPAGNE DELAMOTTE BRUT ROSE LE MESNIL NV\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHAMPAGNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41705288040582,"sku":"JB2349875","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/WebTemplateBottle.png?v=1763929080"},{"product_id":"jb302275","title":"LATOUR POUILLY FUISSE 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eFOR WINES UNDER $40, WE MAY SUBSTITUTE VINTAGE WITH THE NEXT VINTAGE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACONNAIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41705459056774,"sku":"JB302275","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/WebTemplateBottle.png?v=1763929080"},{"product_id":"jb3667375","title":"LATOUR MONTAGNY LES BUYS 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eFOR WINES UNDER $40, WE MAY SUBSTITUTE VINTAGE WITH THE NEXT VINTAGE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COTE CHALONNAISE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41705457352838,"sku":"JB3667375","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/WebTemplateBottle.png?v=1763929080"},{"product_id":"jb3751775","title":"LATOUR BEAUNE BLANC 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLATOUR BEAUNE BLANC 2020\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BEAUNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41705449128070,"sku":"JB3751775","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/WebTemplateBottle.png?v=1763929080"},{"product_id":"fr1744","title":"Champagne Collet Brut Rose NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExperience the refined elegance of Champagne Collet Brut Rosé, a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of our historic vineyards.

His first harvest in 2019 generated considerable excitement, leading some French critics to prematurely dub him the next Clos Rougeard. While Anatole did receive some advice from Nady Foucault of Clos Rougeard, this guidance was relatively minimal. A more profound technical influence came from Michel Chevré, formerly of Clos de l’Ecotard. Today, the estate's viticultural practices have notably high standards. Anatole oversees a team of seven across the 21 hectares, emphasizing soil management, using grass and cover crops adapted to the specific needs of each vintage and employing bioprotection in the cellar. He cultivates his own yeast strains, conducts sulfur-free macerations and opts for extended aging in barrels and malolactic fermentations in barrel for select cuvées.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoils: \u003c\/strong\u003eA mix of limestone-rich clays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Franc grapes are allowed a cold maceration period before fermentations commence, and total macerations can exceed a month.

The new owner, the studied enologist, then computer engineer and co-founder of one of the biggest business consulting companies in the world, Anatole de la Brosse, returned to wine at almost 50 years old and has sold out his production quickly in France yet hasn’t opened up much export yet. He currently converts the former domaine, whose terroirs he believes \"are great\" to organic viticulture, with the assistance of technical consultant Michel Chevré. Also, Nady Foucault, former owner of the iconic Clos Rougeard, is consulting for him. The estate covers 15 hectares in the commune of Parnay, where they are located on the hillside. Rooting in clay-limestone soils, the vines average 35 years of age. About 95% of the vineyard is planted in Cabernet Franc in the Saumur Champigny AOC. The domaine also has a few plots of Chenin, which are used to produce the Saumur Blanc. Heavy investments have been made as well: the soil is now worked to avoid the use of chemicals; a new sorting table makes it possible to select the best fruits and to eliminate all the undesirable elements; a new destemmer scrapes the grapes without damaging them, which improves the quality of the maceration; a new 30-hectoliter pneumatic press gently presses the grapes; gravity is used instead of pumps; and the tanks are thermo-regulated for perfect control. No chemicals are added during the whole process except for small quantities of sulfur dioxide.

The five hectares of holdings are spread throughout the appellation, with vines dating back to the 1920s. The vineyards are managed sustainably, with a growing emphasis on organic practices.

Old-vine Grenache (around 80%) forms the core of the blend, supported by Syrah and Cinsault, all harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts in traditional concrete vats.

Cuvée Tradition is legendary amongst experienced French wine collectors for its texture, substance, and ability to age gracefully for a decade or more. It is a limited wine made exclusively with estate-grown, organic tibouren grapes, and a bit of grenache to meet Côtes de Provence blending guidelines. The vineyard, one of 18 Crus Classés of Côtes de Provence, consists of traditional goblet trained vines located close to the Mediterranean Sea in the foothills of the Maures mountains, overlooking Toulon’s harbor. The microclimate of Clos Cibonne is especially important to the uniqueness of the wines, as the proximity of the ocean brings much needed cool air to the vineyards in the summer months. Their location at the foot of the Maures mountains ensures good east-west ventilation, which is ideal for the health and balance of the vineyard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification – \u003c\/strong\u003eAfter an early morning manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and directly pressed.

The domaine, located in Parnay just south of the Loire River, is farmed organically and biodynamically, with a strong emphasis on biodiversity, soil vitality, and minimal intervention. These practices not only safeguard the health of the vineyards but also allow each cuvée to clearly express the nuances of site and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1258\" data-start=\"748\"\u003eThe vineyards for the Saumur Blanc are composed largely of old-vine Chenin Blanc, many parcels planted between 40 and 80 years ago. The soils are dominated by chalky tuffeau limestone, interspersed with clay and sandy patches, which provide excellent drainage while retaining enough water to support the vines during warm, dry summers. This distinctive terroir contributes both the wine’s tension and its signature mineral depth, while the cooler microclimate of Saumur preserves freshness and aromatic lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1832\" data-start=\"1260\"\u003eIn the cellar, Château Yvonne follows a philosophy of patience and restraint. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, pressed gently, and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for around 12 months in a combination of neutral oak barrels and larger foudres, with no new wood used so as not to obscure the transparency of the fruit. Lees contact lends texture and complexity, while very low additions of sulfur preserve purity and ageworthiness. No fining or filtration is employed before bottling, allowing the wine to retain maximum character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2558\" data-start=\"1834\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage is a striking expression of Chenin Blanc that balances concentration with finesse. Aromatically, it opens with lifted notes of orchard fruit—ripe pear, quince, and yellow apple—mingled with citrus zest, honeysuckle, chamomile, and subtle hints of almond. Beneath the fruit lies a distinct chalky minerality, a hallmark of the Saumur limestone. On the palate, the wine is both powerful and elegant: taut, crystalline acidity provides structure, while a fine, creamy texture from lees aging rounds out the edges. Layers of Meyer lemon, green apple, white peach, and quince unfold across the mid-palate, accented by savory herbal tones and a saline undertone that echoes the vineyard’s limestone bedrock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2910\" data-start=\"2560\"\u003eThe finish is exceptionally long and precise, carrying flavors of citrus peel, crushed stone, and sea spray. While delicious in its youth, showing purity and vibrancy, the 2023 Saumur Blanc has the structure and balance to age gracefully for at least 10–15 years, evolving greater complexity, honeyed depth, and lanolin texture with time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3271\" data-start=\"2912\"\u003eThis wine is a superb partner at the table: pair it with fresh oysters, scallops, or lobster to highlight its saline drive, or with roasted poultry, white asparagus, and Loire goat cheeses to complement its richer dimensions.

Philippe’s vines rest upon the gentle slopes that rise up from the Lot River. He farms sixty hectares of land along the alluvial terraces of the Lot Valley that are rich in siliceous, clay, and limestone soils. The microclimate of the vineyards is ideal, with southwest sun exposure and topographic protection against the frost. Over the years, Philippe has tinkered with the house blend to achieve a greater equilibrium. Today, the blend consists of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot, creating an intense wine that juggles elegant rusticity with everyday drinkability. Coutale has quite a record of age-worthiness as well and Philippe is not afraid to pull out older vintages of his wines alongside much more expensive Bordeaux. They stand up pretty well! Nothing beats a bécasse or cassoulet with an old Coutale, but a simple steak fits the bill just fine.
