Situated just outside of Bue, Christian Thirot-Fournier, along with his wife and daughter tend just 3 hectares of Pinot Noir. It’s a true family affair, from vine to bottle.
The 2020 Vieux Pruniers Sancerre Rosé a stunner, with crisp acidity, tight minerality, and a beautiful zesty mouth leading to a refreshing finish.
Very little Vieux Pruniers Sancerre Rosé makes it into the US and what does always sells out in a few days. I don’t expect this year will be any different.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
The wine is so dang good, nearly every single one of my staff tried to take the sample bottle home when it was brought into the restaurant. It’s just so juicy, lively and pure. Even without the score, this is a total layup. This is a gorgeous French Rosé at an absurd price. One of the absolute best quality-to-price ratio offers of the year, every single year… no questions asked.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.

Balade is the French word for wandering. It’s perfect since of all the Belle Glos single-vineyard selections this one was the hardest to find. It comes from the western part of Santa Rita Hills and is usually reserved entirely for restaurants. It’s an absolute beauty – roaring out of the gates with primary red and black berry fruits along with underlying freshness, and some toasted oak notes that sneak in towards the end.
