Langlois
Langlois Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé NV
Loire Valley, France
Based on Cabernet Franc with some Pinot Noir, this bright, juicy Crémant sees 12-15 hours of skin contact to achieve its pretty pale pink color. It ages for at least 18 months on the lees, disgorged sooner than Langlois’ other Crémants to preserve its freshness and color.

E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2023
Côtes du Rhône
The Guigal family has made serious rosé wines since the 1940s, and their Côtes du Rhône Rosé, like all their Côtes du Rhône wines, is humble in name only. The wine bursts with irresistible fresh red fruits and yet is also long and satisfying. Because of its quality and body, it's a rosé that you can bring to the table, and do so all year long. It is a rosé that offers both refreshment and pleasure.
Domaine Hubert Brochard
Hubert Brochard Sancerre 2023
Sancerre
This Sauvignon comes mostly from vineyards in seven villages, with the three famous Sancerre Terroirs : Chalk, flint, Caillotes. Sauvignon grapes are harvested partly by machine and partly by hand. The pressing is only in pneumatic presses. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature in order to keep all the fine aromas of Sauvignon. A perfect expression of an ideal Sancerre.

E. Guigal
E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2020
Côtes du Rhône
Given that this particular wine can be the introduction to the entire Rhône Valley for a drinker, as well as the position they occupy in the Rhône, it is not enough for the Guigals to make a good Côtes du Rhône. They are relentlessly driven to produce a distinctive and outstanding wine that drives interest in exploring the entirety of the Rhône.
