A bottle whose predecessor ranked #13 on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Best Buys of 2021, Kuranui proves you don’t have to spend much to get one of the most delicious wines made in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a mouthwatering beauty crafted from a single vineyard in New Zealand’s beautiful Awatere Valley. The stark region…
New Zealand is a remote island country about as big as Colorado. They’ve got an unusually tight and well-connected winemaking community, where everyone seems to know everyone—and the name we kept hearing crop up again and again on our Kiwi wine trail sojourns was Jeff Clarke. A Penfolds alum once hailed by critic Tim Atkin…
Our Master Sommelier Sur Lucero was emphatic as he presented this wine to our tasting panel. “This wine is going to be an instant classic. It’s the estate’s very first release of this, and it is IMPRESSIVE.” Made by one of California’s most revered winemaking consultants—who developed the blueprint for luxury Napa Sauvignon Blanc—2021 OVIS…
If Chablis and Sancerre had a love child, its name would be Saint-Bris. Mineral, vivid, and super lean—in the hands of member-favorite Chablis producer Simonnet-Febvre, this Sauvignon Blanc transcends the unusual and becomes something entirely unique. It’s also incredibly rare. The Saint-Bris appellation has a mere 325 acres planted to Sauvignon Blanc, and it’s completely…
Thanks to Wine Access members’ support of Aperture Wines and The Setting, we’re happy to offer the 2021 version of The Setting Sauvignon Blanc. It’s Wine Advocate’s top-scoring Sauvignon Blanc of the vintage from Napa or Sonoma—but that’s just the beginning. Rising rock-star winemaker Jesse Katz learned a trick or two about creating white wine…
Northern Italy’s Friuli region makes some of the greatest white wines in the world—and when they had their own earth-shattering, “Judgment of Paris” moment in 2014, it was Tiare’s Sauvignon Blanc that took down the titans. Tiare marched into the Concours Mondial du Sauvignon—the top worldwide competition for Sauvignon Blanc—and took the top spot, besting…
Our first introduction to Cherrier’s Les 7 Hommes came at Temporis, the MICHELIN-starred tasting-menu temple in Chicago. It was a Sancerre worthy of the high-end setting—crystalline and pure, featuring the depth and complexity we associate with the very top names from the region—so we included it in our MICHELIN shipment with the restaurant. And for…
We tallied the ratings, and the results are clear: Last year’s 2021 Cirro was our member’s favorite New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc—ever. And this one hails from an even better vintage. It’s thrilling, racy stuff, clean and sharp as an icicle. Explosive kaffir lime, passionfruit, and grapefruit-peel aromatics give way to a sinuous, kinetic texture on…
Just about 90 miles east of Vouvray, located just off a tributary of the Loire River, lies a 300-acre appellation that just might be the greatest Sauvignon Blanc secret in France. It’s called Reuilly [Ruh-YEE], and although it’s small and quiet compared to its flashier Loire counterparts, this nook of Kimmeridgian limestone—which sits along the…
The Mellot name is practically synonymous with Sancerre. The family has been making wine in the region since 1513, and they were elevated to a position of honor when Louis XIV appointed César Mellot as the royal wine advisor in 1698. That kind of endorsement does wonders for building a family empire—and now Domaines Joseph…
Sancerre is still the hottest category in French white wine, and the region’s standard-bearing Sauvignon Blanc is steadily gaining popularity—even with the headwind of relentless price increases. This is especially true of the best single-vineyard wines, like those from the Cotat cousins, Boulay, or Vacheron. Wines in this elite class are getting very scarce indeed….
Floating high over the Loire River in our bright orange balloon, we were primed for a relaxing morning… but Sonia Raimbault had other ideas. It was barely after dawn but she was as animated as ever, pointing out the Sancerre plots that produce some of our members’ favorite wines. We, having gone maybe a bit…
Lawson’s Dry Hills is always one of our highest rated New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs—but despite our members’ enthusiasm, it will never be our top seller. There’s simply not enough of it to go around, and it always sells out quickly. The 2022 growing season was kind to the crop of grapes in Marlborough, thanks to…
Julien Fayard gained fame making wines for the best: Lafite Rothschild, Dalla Valle, Lail, and many more. Today he’s one of the hottest consulting winemakers in the West, with first dibs on some of the greatest vineyards in Napa and Sonoma. And when he’s not winning 100-point scores for other people, he funnels the finest…
How in the world did Martin Ray’s team of Courtney Benham and Keith Emerson pull this off? They’re some of the best-connected guys in the business, sure, but this Sauv Blanc is next-level wizardry, showing off the qualities that allow some wineries in the area to charge $50. It combines the grape’s signature snappy, bright…
The very best names in Sancerre do ALL the little things right, from employing top-notch, labor-intensive farming to aging the wine for a little longer before release, often in older barrels. Each one of those details is expensive, which is why names like Cotat and Vacheron easily command $60+ per bottle. So when our friend…
DeLille Cellars’ obsession with quality is legendary. Robert Parker called them “the Lafite Rothschild of Washington State.” The winery has made Wine & Spirits’ Top 100 Wineries list six out of the last seven years—nothing but the best leaves their doors. That includes the 2022 Metier Sauvignon Blanc—which was recently named one of “This Year’s…
Seven years ago, we had to fight off the likes of Gramercy Tavern and The French Laundry for our first tiny allocation of Picayune. Every year since, we’ve had to muscle out others for bigger and bigger allocations—which can never quite keep up with the Picayune fan base! But today marks the first time we’ve…
Sancerre labels leave a lot unsaid. Unlike Burgundy, which is classified down to the vine, there’s no official Sancerre vineyard hierarchy to tell you where your bottle stands. But there’s little argument: Sancerre’s best wines come from the very top vineyards in Chavignol, Bué, Amigny, and Verdigny: limestone-rich sites like Les Monts Damnés, with its…
