We are a family-owned and operated French wine importer, dedicated to working with independent vignerons, who farm honestly and produce authentic world class wines. These producers are about as far from a luxury wine estate as you can get. There are no fancy on-site tasting bars, lounges, patios or restaurants. There is a cellar, perhaps a barn for equipment, the vineyards and distinctive wines that reflect a sense of place. We believe the best wines come from healthy grapes, cultivated using biodynamic or organic principles, fermented using natural yeasts and crafted with minimal inputs in the cellar. To us, it’s a simple truth that vignerons who employ biodynamic or organic methods have an intimate understanding of their vineyards and the raw materials (grapes) produced from each individual parcel. While difficult to quantify, this level of understanding almost always translates into something delicious in your glass. Our producers do not strive to make a homogeneous product in each vintage. Their wines are a unique reflection of the challenges experienced throughout the year. Whether it be forces of nature such as frost, hail and vine pests, or something as simple as a broken-down tractor, there’s a constant struggle. It takes patience, persistence and support of a community to successfully produce high quality wines while embracing these challenges. Unlike other agricultural products, wine has a way of connecting us to the place and to the fascinating people who nurtured the grapes from vine to bottle. We feel very fortunate to represent the wines of these dedicated vignerons, and we are honored to bring not only their wines to your table but also their stories.
