Three new domaines arrive from the schist and tuffeau of Anjou and Chinon. They share a radical commitment to the living soil, a rejection of chaptalization, and an almost monastic patience with spontaneous fermentation. We spent three weeks in the valley before signing.
Their wines arrive in small quantities. First come, first allocated. Each producer has agreed to export exclusively through Beauvoir for the US market through 2027.
These producers make fewer than 800 cases per year. We receive an allocation of precisely six to thirty cases. Email the cellar manager to secure yours before the public window opens.
Extended skin contact is not fashion here — it is memory. These wines carry the hue of the harvest season, the tannin of the grape's own skin, and a complexity that no filtration can replicate. From amphora cellars of Friuli to the qvevri villages of Kakheti.
