Tonight! W**e Down Thursday: French Countryside
October 8 | 6–7:30pm
Sampler: $20/person
This W**e Down Thursday, we’re heading to three French regions where sunshine, scenery, and joie de vivre find their way into the glass. From Languedoc’s wild Mediterranean slopes to the Southern Rhône’s sun-baked stones and Beaujolais’s charming hills, these w**es offer generous fruit, savory detail, refreshing lift, and plenty of personality. Think village markets, cicadas, long lunches, crooked stone houses, and one more bottle because the afternoon demands it.
Featured W**es:
2024 Domaine Des Deux Clés “Clés en Main” Blanc
Following a devastating vineyard and w**ery fire, Marjorie and Florian rebuilt by sourcing fruit from trusted nearby organic growers. Grenache Gris brings texture, Grenache Blanc offers orchard fruit, Chardonnay adds freshness, and Bourboulenc brings salty, herbal lift. Mediterranean brightness and savory complexity make this a vibrant expression of community and place.
2021 Domaine Chardigny Saint-Amour Clos du Chapitre
A beautiful showcase for Gamay from Beaujolais’s northernmost cru. Red cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, rose petal, herbs, crushed stone, and subtle spice meet gentle acidity, fine tannins, and a mineral finish. Fresh, nuanced, and a compelling case for taking cru Beaujolais seriously.
2023 Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes
From mature vines around Courthézon, some dating to the 1950s. Grenache leads with raspberry, black cherry, and plum, while Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan add pepper and savory depth. Thyme, rosemary, bay, and lavender bring classic garrigue character, balanced by fresh acidity and fine tannins.
