NEW: French Pinot Noir!
French Pinot Noir from a big-ticket maison for 25 bucks is practically a unicorn scenario, so pull up a chair and grab a glass, you don’t want to miss this.
This is quintessential bistro red from the famed Fournier family, who impart a bright, energetic freshness to their very polished, very dry and distinctly French Pinot Noir, and this is the only place in the country you can find it!

Patient Cottat is the Fournier’s label, and they are about as close to Sancerre royalty as it gets. Their approach to Pinot Noir reflects that same meticulous care. They’ve coaxed one of the best-in-class expressions of French Pinot Noir in “Le Grand Caillou,” named ‘The Big Pebble’ in a nod to the region’s limestone-rich terroir.
This release is every bit as energetic and wildly drinkable as we’d hoped. Its core of ripe, dark, sun-kissed stone fruits wrapped in dusty tannins simply screams “September Menu.” Here’s a soulful red begging for roasted root vegetables, a lightly charred flank steak or a classic shepherds pie or Tourtiere.
All told, this is like finding an empty table at your favorite neighborhood spot on a Friday night. It rarely happens, and when it does, you don’t ask questions. Just take a seat, go with the flow and revel in your good fortune.
Grab a case for the cellar, the kitchen counter, and everywhere in between.
