Despite its remarkably friendly price tag, we believe this is one of the greatest dry white wines made in the Loire Valley! These 60 plus year old, Melon de Bourgogne vines are planted on red granite de Thébaud and yield an intensely mineral, complex, dry joyous wine. What’s more, you can drink it now and enjoy it alongside raw oysters or simply as a cocktail. Or, you could choose to cellar some and see it evolve into something even more exceptional. The ’23 vintage is the best Briords since Marc Ollivier retired in ‘19, and we think the first to rival the lofty heights he routinely achieved. Today this wine is chalky, salty and mineral with richness\/power and bright acidity – it’s in perfect balance – over time we believe it will become more savory, creamy and herbaceous. This would cellar for more than a decade if you could resist it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Bowler Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148324196600,"sku":"17534","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_1760.jpg?v=1757108718"},{"product_id":"2023-domaine-du-heron-muscadet-sevre-et-maine-le-nid-sur-lie-vieilles-vignes","title":"2023 Domaine du Heron, Muscadet Sevre et Maine, Le Nid Sur Lie Vieilles Vignes","description":"Domaine du Héron is a 28-hectare estate located just 20 kilometers from Nantes in the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation, where owner Philippe Nevoux maintains a commitment to traditional winemaking and certified organic farming practices.

The 2023 vintage provided excellent fruit quality and higher yields than the previous year, resulting in a wine that is particularly expressive and bright.\n\nThis bottling is ready to enjoy now for its refreshing acidity and clear mineral character, though its balance allows it to evolve if you prefer to cellar it further.","brand":"Regal Wine Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47642011828472,"sku":"19581","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_2835.jpg?v=1766093910"},{"product_id":"2022-la-pepiere-muscadet-sevre-et-maine-thebaud-morines","title":"2022 La Pepiere, Muscadet Sevre et Maine, Chateau Thebaud","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Pépière has long been one of the benchmarks in Muscadet, and the single-site bottlings are where you really see why.
