A barrel-aged sweet wine made using only botrytized Chenin Blanc grapes. It's been over 20 years since the vintage, giving time to slightly subdue the sweetness and develop intriguing tertiary characteristics. Lovers of Sauternes and Tokaji will dig this.
The Candide's older sibling, this wine has a fragrant nose of candied blackberry, with a crisp minerality and smooth tannins backing it up on the palate.
Made of fruit from younger vines (but some as old as 40 years) by a vigneron who gives all his focus to only 5 wines, this is a solid crisp red fruit wine with smooth tannin and a hint of cedar.
Cellar a bottle or two of this superb wine while you drink our two other terrific Domaine Guion Cabernet Francs in the meantime. Made only in the best vintage years, from 70-80 year old vines, it gives Lambert's "Moleton" a run for its money.
Notes of melon and grapefruit, nestled in a tropical warmth, with a subtle herbaciousness and sharp minerality that make it a great summer go-to. Pairs well with fish.
Saillard's top cuvée, Blank is made from 70-year-old vines in the fabled Clos Roche Blanche vineyard. This, along with the Gaudry Sancerre, is our best Sauvignon Blanc. 2023 was a small harvest, so get these while you can.
