A savvy set of French wines!

This crazy week of auctions continues, and what better way to do so than a savvy set of French wines. We have already highlighted Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy but we all know that French wine wealth is not limited to these regions, far from it!!

Our wine o'clock #84 begins with the Loire and offers 84 lots, in white and red: enough to satisfy the most connoisseurs among you but also the most curious. The very famous wines of Dagueneau and Clos Rougeard already represent around sixty lots in formats ranging from bottle to jeroboam. Ten other estates are in the spotlight and proudly display the complexity of Loire Valley wines.

The parade continues higher up with wines from Savoie then Jura. Jean-François Ganevat is particularly highlighted here, with vintages each more surprising and more attractive than the next, asserting his own visual and winemaking style.

Without further ado, a region you are no doubt all waiting for, let's introduce the wines of the Rhône Valley. Rostaing, Guigal, Jamet, Jean-Louis Chave, Jaboulet, Pierre Gonon, Henri Bonneau, Beaucastel, Clos des Papes… here are some names of producers which should already evoke the diversity and beauty of the wines available to you in this sale !

To conclude this sale, although eclectic, let's think back to the summer that ended and visit the south again: Provence, Languedoc and finally Corsica. Let me cite to you some of the fervent and well-known representatives of these magnificent terroirs, Domaine Tempier, La Grange des Pères, Gaubi, Pibarnon, Vaccelli and Tarra di Sogno, something to remember in the South and in the sun this fall.

Don’t hesitate any longer and come and discover this very beautiful selection. The auction will start Wednesday, September 18 at 2 p.m.!
