There’s no shortage of interesting new projects springing from Ch*****ne* but few (none?) have literal roots dating back to the 17th century. In a Grand Cru village, no less.

But that’s exactly what 13th-generation siblings Yaël and Jonathan Sacy have: the family’s best parcels in Verzy, and the confidence to steer them in a delicious new direction.

Our email today dives into the work (🔗 in profile)—vibrant, ripe fruit seen through a vinous lens, with an emphasis on barrel élevage. Impressive work, beautifully delicious results.

*case in point: recent arrivals from Ch*****ne Hélène, Clandestin, Amaury Beaufort, and more…

Carsten Saalwächter’s stony, incense-laced Silvaner has firmly (and frankly quickly) become the category reference for us: tremendous w**es that frame his Rheinhessen pocket of hard limestone through patient élevage in wood (with the top w**es seeing two years in barrel before bottling).

But this release is a reminder, as ever: his talented hand extends to a full range of white w**es, with Grauburgunder, Weissburgunder and Chardonnay all capturing Ingelheim’s terroir in the same signature phenolic fruit and time in barrel; powerful, driven w**es that we cannot recommend highly enough.

They’re all here! Dig in 🤗

The Mark Angeli effect is very real. And now, it’s generational. The iconoclast who helped create a whole category around dry, naturally made Chenin in Anjou has mentored a generation of growers and, as of 2021, has handed the work to his talented son Martial.

Today’s email gets into the family’s work and how it’s evolved under Martial—plus, a roundup of w**es from those who came through their cellar: Stéphane Bernaudeau, Clos des Bretèches and on the newest branch of the family tree, Domaine Hélicon.

It’s easy to get cynical when Burgundy’s absolute biggest name takes a stake in Oregon. But it got our attention that the w**es of Académie—spearheaded by DRC’s Bertrand de Villaine—have been made stateside for a full decade but never actually sold here.

With an extremely talented partner in the work, Thomas Savre (who also hails from DRC, Dujac, Lingua Franca, the result is some of the most moving, visceral expression of Willamette terroir. And surprisingly, the story starts in McMinnville.

You can read more in our Journal link in bio; and a second tranche of the w**es (which sold out immediately last month) are available for pre-order now.

Welcome, Académie!

Château-Chalon has been a surprising tap for Jura this year, with a set of seasoned but inspired producers whose work has evolved away from solely flor-inflected w**es. The newest arrival: a refreshing range from Marie-Pierre Chevassu-Fassenet.

With a focus on topped whites and de-stemmed reds, the energy of Château-Chalon’s signature marl soils becomes the focus—a style that favors fresh fruit over oxidation (though, Marie-Pierre still flexes a deft hand with the latter in measured moments).

Thrilled to have these on Fulton; more in today’s newsletter link in bio.

We’re kicking off October the right way: 20% off all red w**e. Everything from Mugnier Musigny and Lafleur Pomerol to Luis Rodriguez and Conterno Monfortino, with hundreds of listings in between.

On day only. Now through tomorrow (10/05).

It’s never been a better time to be drinking the w**es of Spain—and, truly, from every corner of the country. Evidenced by today’s drop: Rueda, Ribera del Duero and Catalonia, being pushed forward by the work of Manuel Cantalapiedra, Jorge Monzón and Salvador Batlle. Vamos!

newyorkw**eauctions just launched its newest auction and it’s, frankly, special. Unicorns hiding in plain sight, with Guilbert Gillet, Lamy-Caillat and Maison Glandien arriving in multiple-bottle, multiple-cuvée quantities. They’re joined by L’Anglore, old Heitz Cellar, Black Maple Hill Bourbon (they do spirits!), and crazy deals from Chablis and the Rhône. It might be their most dynamic list yet.Opened today.

Closes Sunday, 10/11.

Since we welcomed Johannes Aufricht (the deeply ambitious Baden grower) this past spring, we’ve been waiting for his exceptional Chardonnay to arrive. The attention to his work is equal to the ambition and, frankly, is positioning the lineup to be amongst the worlds best. Having tasted the w**es earlier this year, we can tell you he’s in that league. And another reason to be diving into the intense, delicious w**es coming out of this corner of Germany.

No matter what we discover in the world of w**e—the northern Rhône will always remain our north star for earthy, deeply gastronomic w**e.

And over 40 vintages in, we still find serious pleasure in cracking a bottle from the region’s founding natural growers, René-Jean Dard and François Ribo. Their historic, unyielding partnership has crafted vintage after vintage of distinctly salty and mouthwatering Syrah, always with an immediacy that is completely unique in this gilded stretch of the Rhône.

Its joyful work we see reflected in the region’s newest (and extremely drinkable) négociant project, Wills W**e. His Syrah reads like an homage: 100% whole cluster fermentation, aged in demi-mind and barrique for 11 months—and an energetic, juicy style that above all is meant to be shared with family and friends.
