BOIS-ROUGE means “drink red”, and that’s what I’ve been doing… I couldn’t believe my eyes when I realized the entire bottle of BOIS-ROUGE was gone; I drank the whole bottle by myself!  But it was so delicious.  I think it went down so easily because it’s only 12.5% alcohol and I drank it slightly chilled which made the wine taste extra fresh and juicy. 

BOIS-ROUGE is 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on vines 7 years young.  This wine is a young, fresh, organic red from the Loire Valley; my favorite kind of wine to quaff while watching bad movies and eating pasta on the couch.  I highly recommend it…$17.50

Better known for their white wines made from Chenin Blanc, Agnès and René Mosse live and work in the village of St-Lambert-du-Lattay, in the Coteaux-du-Layon area of Anjou. The Layon is a small tributary to the Loire that lazily digs its way through well-exposed and drained hills of schist and sandstone. Its micro-climate allows for a long hang-time, and when the mornings are foggy in the fall, with no rain, botrytis develops easily on the Chenin grapes.

We also carry their 2010 ANJOU Blanc which is a bit more expensive, but loaded with expressive notes of apples and pears and butter!  It’s a beautiful, elegant example of Chenin Blanc.  $26
