Wine of the WeekWine of the Week from The Gourmet Shop

Guillemot Savigny Les Beaune Picotins ’20
“Like its 2019 predecessor, the 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Grands Picotins is an unusually charming rendition of a cuvée that can sometimes be a touch structured out of the gates. Revealing aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and warm spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a concentrated core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Drink 2025-2050.”

New Arrivals

new arrivals at The Gourmet ShopL’Epicurien As we celebrate American cheese month. Take a cue from the French to upgrade your cheese board. L’Épicurien, run by master jam maker Bernard Le Gulvout, combines quality fruit, traditional methods and creativity to make amazing jams, confits and chutneys. The majority of L”EPICURIEN confits are prepared specifically for pairing with cheese. A new shipment just arrived into the shop. The Fig & Walnut Confit is the perfect pairing for goat cheese. The rich ‘figgy” flavor with a drier goat cheese just works. You will enjoy the walnut slivers that you crunch from time to time while savoring this confit. Try it on a toasted baguette.

new arrivals at The Gourmet ShopGeometry Kitchen Towels and Dish Cloths!

Wine of the WeekWine of the Week from The Gourmet Shop

Chateau Meyney Saint-Estephe ’17
“The 2017 Meyney is building upon its promising showing after bottling. It has a polished, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and damp clay/potter’s wheel, perhaps demonstrating even more precision than a few months ago. The palate displays very fine tannins and a good grip on the clove-tinged finish. A judiciously spiced and impressively proportioned Saint-Estephe; a decade ago, under the same growing conditions, Meyney would not have produced a wine nearly as good as this 2017. Drink 2024-2040.”

Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week from The Gourmet ShopClos i Terrasses Laurel Priorat ’19
“The 2019 Laurel is quite closed and shows serious and shy. It’s made with all the grapes that are not used for Clos Erasmus—young vines, the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon (no more than 5%), mostly Garnacha and some 15% Syrah. The wine matured mostly in 2,000-liter oak vats, concrete and some barrels (she’s abandoning the tinaja). It’s 15% alcohol but has very good freshness. The wine is round and powerful but very harmonious and with good freshness. It’s medium to full-bodied and nicely textured, with abundant, glossy tannins and fantastic balance. This is both powerful and elegant. It slowly opens up in the glass to ripe berries, spice and herbs and a touch of smoke. Drink 2024-2034.”
