Featured Region
LOIRE VALLEY
The Loire river is the longest in France, running from the western coast across almost the entirety of the country. While there are four larger appellations the range of grapes grown and soil types is dizzying. There is a long history of wine growing here and the wines in almost every café in Paris come from somewhere in the Loire Valley. These are wines that show a unique sense of place and honest reflections of the people that make them.

BENJAMIN LEROUX
PRODUCER HIGHLIGHT
About the domaine
There has been a lot said about Benjamin over the years, and he is clearly a talent among his generation. It almost seems impossible that someone so young could be compared to the likes of Henri Jayer, especially considering he does not come from a family with any land holdings or winemaking history. He decided as a teenager that he wanted to be a vigneron, and after finishing enology school, worked at Cos d’Estournel, Domaine Drouhin in Oregon, and Louis Jadot. He was even named the technical director and manager at the famous Comte Armand in Pommard at the astonishing age of 24.
FEATURED PRODUCER
Vilmart
With a history dating back to 1890, fourth generation Laurent Champs takes his role of running the Vilmart estate seriously. Under his watch, the estate was converted to organic viticulture and has become not just one of the best small grower estates in Champagne, but one of the greatest producers in all of Champagne. They are located in the picturesque village of Rilly la Montagne, and though they grow pinot noir and meunier, they also produce excellent chardonnay--an exception for the Montagne de Reims.
