Cru Love

November 16, 2020

Even though it feels different this year, the holiday season is here! Among other things, that means Beaujolais in every flavor and today we'll start with a Cru that doesn't make the rounds as much as its famous neighbors like Moulin-a-Vent and Fleurie, but produces a really distinct and delicious expression of Gamay: Chenas.

Fleurie = Fall

September 16, 2020

Other than aromatic Italian reds, like we covered yesterday, nothing says fall quite like Beaujolais. Today we are thrilled to share our tiny allocation of two very special expressions of Fleurie made by Yann Bertrand.

All Natural Fall Favorites

October 08, 2021

This month's Dozen features some lesser known native grapes (and a few classics) coming from roads less travelled in France, Italy and Spain, all from producers working naturally.
