It’s not a stretch to say the Lapierres, Foillards, Thévenets, and Guy Breton have been the most influential group of growers in the world over the last thirty years.
      We almost never have the wines of all four domaines in stock at the same time, so take advantage of this brief window—and this month’s Beaujolais discount—to become acquainted, or reacquainted, with these true French icons.

Burgundy’s outer orbits are home to some of the region’s most exciting appellations today. There’s Chablis, of course, but places like Vézelay and Irancy have produced such classy Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in recent years that we can’t help but turn our attention toward this often-overlooked part of Burgundy.
      If Chablis is this area’s Chardonnay powerhouse, Irancy—just twenty minutes southwest—is the Pinot Noir counterpart...

To get to know Saint-Aubin a bit better, start with Domaine Larue. This village is their specialty, their backyard, and they sure know how to tease out the best of each small parcel they own...

Here is a collection of recent arrivals. Every week, we’ll be adding a dozen or more new arrivals, so check back often for your favorite classics or new discoveries!

The Loire Valley’s Touraine region may be home to some of France’s grandest châteaux, but when it comes to its wines, the region remains thoroughly paysan, and free of pomp and ceremony. Wine and food are paramount to the spirit and culture here, and made primarily in the image of the weeknight table, impromptu picnic, or barbecue. Cabernet Franc is the star red grape in this rural, central stretch of the Valley...

Right outside the picturesque hilltop village of Monforte d’Alba, Massimo Benevelli is humbly carrying on the family winemaking tradition initiated by his father, Piero, in the 1970s...

Hard to believe, but by the 1960s most of the Côte-Rôtie was abandoned to wild brush. One could earn far more money growing apricots along the Rhône than one could growing grapes on the slopes above. What was once celebrated the world over had quietly slid into oblivion. Thankfully, a few growers weren’t fazed and carried on…

Once I left Burgundy and began exploring elsewhere, I noticed that France and Italy produced incredible bargains, especially if one looked where no one else was looking. Nothing makes me prouder (commercially speaking, anyway) than returning home with yet another fine wine bargain for you...

Looking out at the undulating hills of Chablis, littered with ancient marine fossils, it’s hard not to envision the ocean that once covered this land. Row upon row of Chardonnay vines rise and fall along ridges that roll into the horizon like waves of a massive swell...

Félix Meyer is full of surprises. A third-generation winemaker with deep expertise at his family’s domaine, he continues to make changes and improvements while remaining true to his roots. In addition to expanding his grand cru holdings...

Les Pallières is unique in the Gigondas appellation. For one thing, its northwestern exposure and its altitude give a Gigondas renowned over the centuries for its uncommon finesse...

Kermit took interest in Saint-Joseph early, and today we represent some of the appellation’s most talented growers working in its very top sites...

Have you tried our new Champagne?
This phrase has been on repeat for me ever since our first container from Nicolas Maillart, the latest Champagne grower to join the KLWM ranks, arrived at port a couple of months ago...

Our five wine clubs feature our best values from France and Italy as well as complex and cellar-worthy wines.

When the esteemed French wine artist Michel Tolmer created beautiful artwork for our 50th anniversary, we knew right away that we had to feature it on a few select items of merch. After spending maybe a little too much time researching the options, we landed on a classy, leather-strap cap, a comfortable t-shirt made from 100% cotton, and a tote made with incredibly sturdy, fair-trade, and organic cotton by a certified B corp that invests in the livelihoods of women and farmers of India, featuring three wine sleeves and two other compartments for all of your other needs!
