2022 Domaine de Lathevalle Morgon “Les Charmes” Beaujolais – What a wonderful fragrance this Morgon has! Violets and candied strawberries. Then, on the very concentrated and focused palate, there’s great harmony of beautifully ripe berry fruit, very fine tannins, and mineral acidity. A very long finish that reminds me of a top Chambolle-Musigny from Burgundy! Only just beginning a very long life. Drink or hold. JamesSuckling: 95 $25.00

2025 Baronnie de Montgaillard Sauvignon Blanc, Pays d’Oc – This Sauvignon from southern France offers pleasant minerality, bright citrus fruit, and a pleasing light tropical fruit notes on the chalky bright finish. $12.00

2023 Les Coteaux Tufiers Vouvray – This is a delicious, perfectly balanced off-dry style of Chenin Blanc with aromas of just-picked walnuts, a hint of lime and ripe melon notes. The palate is pure, ripe, fresh apples with a light acacia-honeyed nuance. The natural ripeness is well balanced by natural acidity, resulting in a refreshing wine with good length. $16.00

2025 Le M de Sumeire Rosé Mediterranee – This rosé from the French Mediterranean coast offers flavors of white peach, citrus, and a hint of mint, with a dry, juicy palate that is elegant and refreshing. Blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah. $13.00
