Champagne Georges Laval, Cumières Premier Cru, Brut Nature

Laval’s Brut Nature (i.e. “no-dosage”) is a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 25% each Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. It’s as tightly coiled as a rattlesnake, ready to strike on the first sip. Both will age 10-20 years with ease. This is simply some of the most bespoke Champagne you can get your hands on, a wine experience you’ll remember vividly. It will elevate just about anything you eat, but we’d submit that the level of acid and minerality here will complement a ‘black-and-blue’ steak as well as any tannic red. It’s special stuff, and we’re thrilled to be able to share it. Enjoy!

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.
