Star Picks for Autumn

Feeling that sobering nip of autumn in the air? We are, too. It's why we thought we'd offer you two drinking options that so perfectly correspond with the changing of the season.

First up, Cru Bourgeois claret from stalwart Château Ramafort, whose standout 2015 vintage, so gracefully aged after a near decade of cellaring, is in a truly warming place. Where your love of classic claret experiences a generous palate of complex fruit, spice and minerality, fresh acidity, and the well-structured tannins its stellar growing conditions have provided. Then, luscious Montagny-Villages. With ripe, exotic stone-fruit,citrus zest and an elegant, herbaceous, almost spicy edge and fabulous finishing length, it's indispensable chardonnay expression for the devoted white-burgundy drinker.
