The No-Risk White Wine Bet

$15/btl. on cases from MICHELIN-fave winery

Hello

WineAccess

Dear Insider,

Last month, I put on a little tasting at my home to benefit my daughters elementary school. We had a great slate of winesa Ctes de Provence ros, a first-class Willamette Valley Pinot, and even a decade-aged Honig Cabernetbut the wine that created the most buzz was the 2020 La Pitchoune Chenin Blanc La Bombe Merritt Island Clarksburg.On the face of it, this is a niche whitea boutique California producers interpretation of an oft-overlooked Old World grape. But honestly, aside from devotees of sweet wine and butter-bomb Chardonnays, its hard for me to imagine a white-wine lover who wont love this. Like all great Chenin, its full-bodied yet lively and vibrant, with intriguing beeswax and spice aromas. A bone-dry finish puts a perfect bow on every sip.La Pitchounewhose wines have been poured at MICHELIN three-star destinations The French Laundry and SingleThreadhas long been one of Joe, our CEOs, personal favorites. The brand has become massively popular with our members, and when proprietor Tracy Nielsen made the decision to retire it, we asked if we could run the last La Pitchoune wine.Because of our support weve given La Pitchoune over the years, Tracy gave us a great deal: Were able to offer this phenomenal wine at the ABSURD price of $17, well off the $28 SRP. Im getting a case to pour for friends and visitors into the fall, and Im sending another to my family. For anyone looking for an exciting white to keep on hand, look no further. You wont find a better deal than this one.Click here to claim your case(s) of La Pitchounes excellent Chenin Blanc.Long a favorite of Loire Valley fans, Chenin Blanc isnt quite a household-name grape in Californiabut theres no doubt that Clarksburg does it best.On the banks of the Sacramento River delta, Clarksburg boasts a trifecta that winemakers often seek but rarely find: old vines, abundant sunshine, and cooling river breezes. Together, these conditions help produce ripe, balanced, effusive white wines that can be every bit as vivacious and food-friendly as their Loire counterparts.This Chenins wonderful balance shows why Sonoma Magazine called La Pitchoune one of the most coveted producers in Sonoma County. That combination of quality and minuscule production has made every allocation weve gotten worth celebrating.Were saddened that La Pitchounes days are numbered, but were proud to put this wine in your hands. Youll be glad you stocked up.
