CLOSURE

July 2-17

Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre
Loire Valley, FR

"A Benchmark Sancerre"
Artisan-made, hand crafted, 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the famed Loire Valley region of Sancerre. Hippolyte Reverdy makes one of the favorite Sancerres in the store. This is Sancerre the way it was made 50 years ago with a touch more roundness and breadth in the mid-palate balancing the crisp clean finish. There is always a note of dried lime and key lime citrus peel in the mid palate with perhaps a little meyer lemon and hints of sweet marjoram. It is perfect for summer and even the fall, gaining a little more roundness as it ages in bottle. It is limited and already selling, grab a bottle or two while you can.

$40/bottle

Château Pradeaux Rosé
Provence, FR

From one of France's most beautiful wine regions, Provence, comes one of our most serious rosés: Pradeaux Bandol. This blend of 50/50 Cinsault and Mourvedre is a complex and powerful rose that can easily handle a couple years in the bottle and pairs well with serious and full-flavored dishes like Indian or Thai curries.

Ripe tropical fruit and watermelon aromas lead to a rich textural body with rich cherry and strawberry fruit leather and notes of orange peels in the background. The body almost has the weight of a red wine. A real treat for lovers of full bodied rosé.

$32/bottle

Wine Clubs

Grower Champagne Wine Club
This month's grower champagne is from the Coteaux Sud D'Epernay. They farm biodynamically on a 10.5 hectare estate - we're talking small production. The wine is comprised of 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir. It's bright, slightly chilled apple notes, a touch of walnut, chalky minerality, slight honeysuckle notes, patissière and a lovely lime zest vibrancy. We are excited to feature this grower champagne producer in this month's Champagne club.

The best way to learn about wine is to drink some and study a little. One way we help with this is our three different wine clubs. These include:

Benchmark Reds

Grower Champagne

3-pack Value Selections

Call or email us for more details.
*Makes a great gift!*

We look forward to helping you find some delicious wines for your next meal or event.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
The Caviste Team
