Château du Carrubier, “Cuvée Ingénue” Rosé MAGNUM

Warning: Once you taste today’s mind-bending rosé, high-end Provençal labels like Domaine Tempier ($50+), Château d'Esclans “Garrus” ($100+) and Domaine Ott “Étoile” ($200) may be reduced to obsolescence. There’s a reason Carrubier’s “Cuvée Ingénue” is emerging with top awards in Paris and Provence, and that Wine Enthusiast has rated it right alongside the region’s most expensive and renowned bottlings: it’s an extraordinary, bordering-on-legendary rosé that blows away 99.9% of its competition. But there's no reason whatesoever for us being the first to introduce this to America—it feels as if we’ve discovered the next “big thing” right under everyone’s nose. Taste any $20-$40 Provence rosé and Carrubier’s superiority will stand out like The Great Wall of China from outer space. Taste it alongside the above-mentioned luxury labels and you, too, will swear you’ve just discovered the savviest rosé investment of 2021. Supersize the experience with these limited Magnum formats!


This explodes with ripe, fleshy red fruits like wild strawberry, Honeycrisp apple, watermelon, and raspberry that are enhanced by intense, high-toned notes of grapefruit pith, orange zest, citrus peel, wild herbs, rose petal, crushed rock, white flowers, and a touch of spice. On the palate, each exuberant sip brings long-lasting, mouth-watering layers that reverberate with vivid minerality. Enjoy now, enjoy often, and if a bottle does somehow escape 2020 unscathed, you’ll be thrilled to discover an extra year of aging has elevated it even higher. Cheers!

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
