The Summer Classics: France

The Summer Classics: France

Wine that Beats the Heat

We love rosé for summer — with good reason. Just taste the blush bottles of Domaine Tempier and Gros Noré — but France offers a wealth of juicy, crisp wines perfectly suited to the summer months. So jump in, ‘cause we’re taking a road trip in search of those classic summer wines. With pit stops in Macon, Cassis, and Sancerre, this lineup is chock full of our must-have bottles to beat the heat in style.

      This is the wine to bring to the vegetable garden! It has a beautiful rich mineral palate while still maintaining the light spring freshness you crave on a hot summer day. Like any proper Languedoc blend you should chill this one down and enjoy it outside in the sunshine.

      A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 10% Muscat de Hambourg (Black Muscat) grapes. The winemaker’s minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar, plus the unique limestone and red clay soils, deliver revealing wines. The Muscat gives this a touch of sweet fruit, but by no means is this a sweet wine.

      Domaine Fessardiere has been making some of the best Muscadet for years now. Since becoming certified organic in 1996 and using a unique approach of aging the wine in large ‘foudres’ (oak barrels) they are making Muscadet that really delivers a unique experience. Pair with oysters.

      With straw color reflections, the nose reveals itself through white flower fragrances and a hint of anise. The complex mouth is fresh, elegant, and mildly nutty with a long, mineral finish. This is classic Corsican Vermentino at its best, from one of the island’s most committed producers.

      Olivier Merlin and his crew treat the vines as individuals; each one having its purpose in the final product. His respect for the plant shows in his wines, creating an energetic Chardonnay, even in its youth. Summer risotto with peas, tinned fish, or creamy cheese would pair delightfully.

      Nestled in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, you can find the vineyards of Sylvain Fadat known as Aupilhac. The Mediterranean location of these vines leads to lots of southwest sun exposure, producing juicy and electric wines. This white blend makes you feel like you’re in a field of flowers surrounded by buzzing bees.

      With a flawless track record of 30+ years of thirst-quenching delight, this wine is still delivering the same euphoria as ever. Bright & crisp, this wine offers a fragrant burst of citrus & orange blossom before a delicate, finely etched mineral finish. Crab cakes with this rosé would be a match made in heaven.

      Francois and Jean-Marie Cherrier meticulously farm 14 hectares of vines, spread across 5 different villages around Sancerre, allowing them to take full advantage of the particular soils that define the region. Menetou-Salon is known for its Jurassic limestone, giving this Pinot Noir a minerality and levity that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
