Alain Gras, one of the most talented vignerons in the Cote de Beaune, essentially put his tiny appellation of Saint-Roman on the map. While little known in the States, Alain Gras’ wines stud the wine lists of many Michelin-starred restaurants in France. This fresh, complex ’10 Auxey Duresse Rouge--a wine made from vines over a hundred years old--shows why. An intense wine, it unfolds to show uncommon depth, great suppleness and a velvety mouth-feel, all the better to complement its ripe, sappy fruit. Only 300-500 cases made of this Auxey that drinks like a Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru. more info

Crafted from organically grown grapes and made with non-interventionist protocol, including manual labor and only natural yeasts, the Château Bélair-Monange offers a pure expression of Saint-Émilion terroir. more info
