Peyrassol: The Spirit of Provence, and an Iconic Rosé

Peyrassol: The Spirit of Provence, and an Iconic Rosé

Nothing quite satisfies our seasonal wine itch for Provençal rosé like Peyrassol. Peyrassol has a thousand year history, dating back to the Knights of Templar. No, they did not produce rosé for crusaders, as pink wine of this sort is a far more recent invention. But the soils, the weather, the Provençal culture and cuisine have all united to make this domaine one of the few great producers of France to really specialize in rosé. We are lucky to get bottles every year, and this time it is just in time for some gorgeous weather.

A new vintage of Fratelli Alessandria's Pelaverga

A new vintage of Fratelli Alessandria's Pelaverga

Italy is home to an endless array of tasty, lesser-known varieties and one of our favorite Italian sleeper-grapes is a small red one from Piemonte known as Pelaverga. Since the 1870s, the Alessandrias have made their wines in Verduno focused on transcendent Barolis, but they take particular pride in their Pelavera, which they call Speziale, in reference to the gentle spicy notes the grape is known for.

2021 Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerres

2021 Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerres

How good are the wines of Domaine Lucien Crochet? When Eric Asimov did a Wines of the Times column on Sancerre a dozen years ago, Crochet's was his top pick. It even beat out the superstar Cotats. We think Crochet has only gone from strength to strength since then. Read on to learn about the latest duo of 2021 arrivals.

G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2018

G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2018

The Albe is made in an entirely traditional fashion, with aging exclusively in large Slavonian casks. The cooler high-altitude sites ensure that the wine stays bright and nimble, and fun to drink even on release. This is especially true of the precocious 2018. Vintage-in-vintage out, we love the value and consistency of Vajra's real deal Barolo Albe and we think you will to.

Ephémérè: Savart's New Champagne Project Part Deux

Ephémérè: Savart's New Champagne Project Part Deux

Fred Savart is a favorite at Flatiron and we clamor to get as much of his wine as possible. So when we heard that he was working on a new project we jumped at the chance to grab as much as we could. We offered the rosé from this exciting new (ish) project a few weeks ago and it sold out in less than 24 hours so don't wait our run the risk of missing out, again.

Clos Cibonne Cuvée Tradition Rosé

Provence rules the rosé world. Its lightly-colored, fragrant pink wines are the model for imitators the world over.
