The Producers
Potel Aviron
Universally considered the very best grower wine maker in all of Beaujolais and almost never found in the Mid-Atlantic states. We tasted his 2007s and were blown away. These are not wimpy, bubble gum cotton candy, fruit bomb Beaujolais. These are serious wines that truly resemble the very best unoaked California and Oregon Pinots.
Henry Fessy
The two Fessy brothers began buying barrels of special Beaujolais in the late 1960s. Later, they separated into two different "houses." Henry visits hundreds of estates and only buys those individual barrels he falls in love with. As a result, his wines are classic examples of just what Beaujolais cru is supposed to be. A few months ago, you may recall reading about some of these in Tom Marquardt's Capital Wine Column!
J.J. Vincent
Owner of Chateau de Fuisse in Pouilly Fuisse and generally considered the finest grower in Macon, Vincent has expanded to two separate Cru estates in Beaujolais over the last decade. Extremely rare, NEVER before shipped to the Mid-Atlantic region. These are surprisingly BIG wines.

Domaine Pierre Guindon
Coteaux d'Ancenis
GAMAY
Red and Rose 2009
We simply couldn't resist these Gamay's from the Loire valley, directly across the Loire River from Muscadet. Guindon is one of the top Muscadet producers and he has an organic vineyard in the tiny Ancenis (Pronounced Ahn-sen-nay) region of the Loire. The Red has a Loire tilt on the same theme as our Pinot Noir battle and the Rose is simply delightful. In our crusade to discover excellent unknown French wines, we present these to our customers.
