Les Monts Damnés: Greatest Vineyard in Sancerre Napa Valley has To Kalon. Champagne has Clos de Mesnil. Burgundy has Montrachet. And Sancerre has Les Monts Damnés.

One of the Best Value Chablis in the Nation The balminess of summer inspired us to undertake a quest to find the best value Chablis in the nation.

Cellar Master Gilles Corsin and His Full Monty Chardonnay It’s the Chardonnay stop we never miss. Each year since our initial visit 28 years ago, we’ve gone to Davayé. What keeps bringing us back is the Corsin brothers, Jean-Jacques and Gilles. In our book they’re the greatest winegrowing team in the Mâconnais, turning out astoundingly…
The year was 2006. The small southern French town of Maury, once famed for its dessert wines, was in the midst of a land-consolidation project. With sales for sweet wines waning, the local government decided to pay winemakers to uproot their oldest vineyards and plant orchards instead, which were more lucrative. Importer Kimberly Jones—a close…

Last June, we returned to the minuscule hamlet of Chaudoux and once again knocked on the…
During a weeklong trip to the South of France, we made a long-overdue trip to Limoux to call on Domaine de Baronarques.

After nine years, this 2015 boasts the perfect blend of integration and youthfulness: The…
The 2015 Domaine de Courteillac powerfully overdelivers in both category and price, blowing past the Bordeaux Supérieur competition with a sophistication and chiseled structure that are of Grand Cru Classé quality. Bearing the masterly touch of 100-point winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt, it offers a glimpse of the profound heights the Right Bank can achieve, while miraculously…
94-Point “Powerful and Balanced” Cru Beaujolais During a recent dinner with friends, we could tell our ordering frenzy sent our server for a loop—from steaks to oysters, pork belly, and chicken marsala the combination would be a pairing nightmare for some, but we were unfazed. Our choice was simple: Beaujolais. Specifically, we chose the 2015…
A Muscadet “Classic” in Les Caves Augé We had just finished up a week tasting hundreds of wines per day at the 2015 Bordeaux En Primeur.

Once-In-a-Lifetime Concentration in Fleurie Several months back, Eric Asimov, the wine critic whose columns in The New York Times remain required reading for collectors and industry cognoscenti, presided over a tasting of 20 bottles of Cru Beaujolais. “The 2014 vintage… was a very good one, maybe even superb,” Asimov wrote. “They can be enjoyed early…

65-Year-Old-Vine Viré-Clessé and “The Headspinning 2015s” He didn’t do it for money. There was almost no hope of recouping the investment in any reasonable period of time. He didn’t even do it for the freedom; he had enjoyed almost every minute of his 18 years leading the enology team at the cooperative in Viré. No,…

Dominique Roger asked WineAccess to lend a hand. We…
The word from Bué-en-Sancerre: Dany won’t budge It was the Viking on the Harley who first directed us to Dominique Roger. We spent many summer evenings in the late 1980s in Didier Dagueneau’s backyard, tasting bottles from the Loire Valley’s best. Dagueneau was always a stickler, mincing no words as he ripped apart bottles that…
