Domaine Hubert Brochard Sancerre Blanc 2023

Sancerre

March 25, 2026 - Domaine Hubert Brochard Sancerre Blanc is a classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc sourced from vineyards across seven villages and the appellation’s three hallmark terroirs: Terres Blanches, Silex, and Caillottes. Harvested at full ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity. Aged on fine lees in a mix of vessels, the wine shows floral and fruity notes, a lively, full-bodied palate, and exotic tones. HVE-certified and ideal with goat cheese, this is Sancerre in its most authentic and expressive form.

Wine Spectator - November 30, 2024 "A piercing version, with a flinty profile to the firm stone fruit, flecked with oregano and a hint of honeysuckle. Angular and focused, showing density on the bone-dry, smoky finish."

Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2023

Barbera d'Alba

March 16, 2026 - Barbera is a delicate and demanding grape variety. A meticulous search in the area for the very best soils, agronomical decisions and particular attention to vinification enable Sandrone to show the very best qualities of this wine. Barbera d’Alba is made to be a medium-weight wine that will drink well for a decade. It shows delicious and plump berry and black fruits. As Barbera possesses almost no natural tannins, the use of tonneaux gives the wine some much-needed structure. It is a perfect match with rich dishes as the bright acidity keeps it from being too heavy.

Sandrone Barolo Vite Talin 2019

Barolo

March 16, 2026 - Vite Talin is Sandrone's rarest Barolo, born from a single anomalous Nebbiolo vine that Luciano discovered in 1987 in a vineyard leased from an elderly farmer known as "Talin." The vine's unusually small, dark clusters and distinctly compact character set it apart from everything growing around it. After 25 years of experimentation and DNA confirmation in 2017, the 2013 vintage became the first official release. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged three years in French oak before spending another three years in bottle, debuting a full six years after harvest. Rich, structured, and built for long cellaring.
