The sister and brother team of Gaetane and Martial Carré is one of my absolute favorite new producers we have welcomed to the NW family of winegrowers. Sister, Gaetane is an absolute dynamo. She works the front of the house, a domaine their father Denis founded 45 years ago, with an infectious enthusiasm that any visitor within 5 minutes knows that they are someplace very special. Her brother, Martial, is a bit more low key. He drives the tractor, makes the wines, and quietly lets his sister sell them.
They work like bulls; together, with their parents, they organically farm 14 hectares of vines in Meursault, Auxey Duresses, Pommard and the Haute Côtes (or almost 50 acres). First up in what I am sure is just the beginning of many offers from this brilliant new producer is the Carré’s Auxey Duresses Blanc Les Vireux Les Vireux straddles two appellations, Meursault and Auxey, sharing the same exact soil composition and exposure just divided by a line that some wealthy bureaucrat drew a few hundred years ago.
My sense is that he probably didn’t own any Auxey Les Vireux on the Carré’s side of the vineyard….great news for us as although this certainly is a Saturday nighter, it’s at least 45% less than it would be if the Carré’s vines were on the Meursault side of the line.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.

This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
