These wines are made in the saignee (bleeding) method, bringing the Pinot Noir grapes in immediately from picking and then bleeding some of the juice from the grapes after they’ve spent a few hours in contact with skins and seeds. This gives it the full aromatic fireworks show, as well as that signature, gorgeous pale salmon color that we see in Sancerre.
Reverdy Ducroux may have one of the biggest advantages of all. Apart from being in the midst of their 14th generation of Ducroux winemakers with Laurent, they also have parcels right near the town of Verdigny – incredibly prime real estate with rolling hilltops chalk full of rock Kimmeridigian limestone soils, giving a complexity and mineral component to the wines that most others can’t replicate.
It’s why since the 1970’s many of these wines have found a place on wine lists throughout the French Michelin star dining scene, and also why it’s so dang hard to get our hands on any.
But for the one time this year where whatever is left of the wine is released to the masses, I made sure that we came first – securing 30 cases of one of the classiest pink wines anywhere in the world. It’s super pure, with bright citrus notes, a round fleshy mouthfeel, cherry, raspberry and lemon flavors with tremendous balance and a fantastic minerally finish.

This one comes from one of the most interesting wineries in all of Oregon, home to a crazy one-of-a-kind gravity flow production which has the winemaking team regularly walking up and down three flights of stairs to check on the state of things. Their Pinots are easily some of the best in Oregon, but the Thea’s Selection is the creme de la creme. It’s made from a blend of all seven 100% organic certified estate vineyards, spread across arguably the two best wine AVAs in the state, Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton.
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 50% Moscato Bianco, 50% Brachetto is one of the most distinctive sweet wines in all of Italy. Exotic floral and spice accents soar out of the glass. Rose petal, mint, sage, dried herbs and hard candy play off bright acids and an overall feeling of crystalline energy.” -Antonio Galloni
Named ‘Oeil de Perdrix’ (eye of the partridge), Joe grows a special vineyard of Pinot Noir especially for this pink wine, similar to how many of the Roses in Burgundy are made. It’s a 100% Rose of Pinot that Joe lightly whole-cluster presses and then ages in a combination of French Oak and stainless steel. That’s what makes this baby absolutely soar, both in the aromatics and on the palate with red berries, nectarine, and tropical fruits and a cherry/citrus mix. It’s a delight to drink.
