Domaine Berthoumieu Madiran Cuvée Charles de Batz 2017$21.98Availability:In StockFrom the importer: The domaine’s top red wine is the cuvée Charles de Batz, which was the original name of d'Artignan. The wine is composed of 90% Tannat with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines that are between 50 and 100 years old. After being completely destemmed, the Cabernet and Tannat are fermented separately in cement tanks. During this time, a bit of micro-oxygenation or microboullage takes place. The wine then goes into oak (50% new) in an underground cellar where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. After 12 months in wood, it is blended and bottled after a very light filtration.
Very ripe, rich Madiran that takes no prisoners. This wine succeeds in obtaining more fruit than tannin! The color is nearly opaque—wine doesn't get much darker than this. It displays notes of black fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry) along with just a hint of red fruit. There is a cedar-like creaminess to the oak which is extremely well-integrated. Tannins pick up on the finish but, let's face it, this is Madiran and that is to be expected. These tannins seem to dissolve when the wine is matched with richly flavored meats like leg of lamb, duck, goose or game.

Chateau Pesquié Ventoux Quintessence Blanc 2022JD93$21.98Availability:In Stock93 Points! Based on 80% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Quintessence Blanc is raised in a mix of demi-muids and barrels, with a tiny portion being new. It has a beautiful nose of ripe orchard fruits (pear, sliced apples) as well as subtle white flowers and chalky minerality. Medium-bodied and concentrated, with a beautiful spine of acidity, it's a gorgeous white from this team that will shine on the dinner table. - Jeb Dunnuck

Montbourgeau L'Etoile 2018WA94$28.98Availability:In Stock94 Points! The 2018 L'Etoile Savagnin matured in un-topped-up barrels for some three years. It was a very warm vintage with low yields and concentrated wines (14.5% alcohol) pungent and persistent. This matured in an aboveground and slightly warmer cellar and was not matured in foudre (only in barrels), because they had a lot of Chardonnay; so that might be the reason why there's a more pungent smokiness. 3,078 bottles were filled in April 2023. - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com

Stolpman Vineyards Roussanne L'Avion 2020WA97$41.98 As low as $37.78Availability:Out of Stock97 Points! Stolpman's white tête de cuvée, L'Avion, is spectacular this vintage. It is a barrel selection of the best Roussanne and contains 7% Chardonnay. These old vines are farmed immaculately: on one visit to Stolpman, I watched the full-time crew painstakingly turning clusters by hand to expose greener grapes to the sun—they hang well into November. "By then, it's the only thing left on the vine," Pete Stolpman says. "So we send in our crew to turn clusters and harvest in several passes. Only the tanned Roussanne grapes have enough flavor concentration." The 2020 L'Avion has a deep golden color and compelling scents of baked apricot and nectarine, honeycomb, pie crust and ginger. The full-bodied palate is dry, weighty and complex, with a mouth-coating texture, refreshing acidity and exotic herbal streaks that go on and on long after the wine is gone. It's a serious white that's ideal for the table or the cellar, and it's one of the stars of the 2020 vintage. - Erin Brooks, robertparker.com
