Egarade means a “mysterious evening stroll,” according to the producer. Perhaps the idea is that you lose track of time in this wine. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is rich and full-bodied with a good weight of white and green fruits and a final nervy texture and acidity.

A delightful, light, strawberry wine. It has a bright, bubbly character and acidity that gives extra life to this classic apéritif wine. There is just a hint of softness from the fruit to finish.

This wine has great style and elegance, as well as crisp northern fruit. There’s just a touch of toastiness, along with flavors of almonds and white fruits. An apéritif-style wine, but could also work with light foods. Multiple U.S. importers.

Blanc de Noirs is always rich, and this wine is no exception. It has plenty of red fruits, layers of tannins, fine but full acidity and a great fruity aftertaste. Could age over the next two years. Multiple U.S. importers.

Herb tea and white flower aromas give this wine a fine start. The Chardonnay flavors are all there: a touch of vanilla, some almonds, and pears. Fresh and rich. Could age for a couple of years. Multiple U.S. importers.

This is seriously dry, but not a serious wine. Its acidity, initially searing, parts to reveal crisp red berries and freshness. At the end, it has become sweeter, a light touch of sugar on the fruit.

A blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, this is a rich wine, its fresh fruits layered with acidity, tight tannins and red currants. It is structured, with the flavors going right through the wine, leaving a full-bodied, ripe aftertaste.

Once you cut through an astringent edge, this becomes a simple, fresh, fruity wine dominated by white fruit. There is attractive acidity, the crisp apple flavors layered with spice.
