2020 Atlantique Blanc “Déclinaison”
Domaine de l’Alliance
Made from partially botrytised Sémillon grapes that are vinified dry, a full-bodied, satin-textured white that is a feast for the senses. Pair it at table as you would a Condrieu.

2017 Pomerol
France | Bordeaux
The incredible depth, power, and fine but grippingly youthful tannins are text-book Pomerol

2021 Bordeaux Blanc “Définition”
France | Bordeaux
A simply stunning white that seems to not just elevate the food on your plate, but your entire mood. Your surroundings will melt away as you get lost in your glass.

2022 Sauternes “Esquisse”
France | Bordeaux
This refreshing dessert wine is versatile at table—it works wonders as an apéritif or with cheeses—and can still be cellared for several years.

2011 Canon-Fronsac
France | Bordeaux
At thirteen years old, its brambly berry notes are but a memory of its youth. They have evolved and taken on a woodsier sophistication of shady underbrush, violet, and nutmeg.

2016 Canon-Fronsac
France | Bordeaux
Divine with lemon and rosemary roasted lamb.

2022 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
France | Bordeaux
Crafted from less than two hectares of organic grapes and vinified in a cramped garage, this is silky Saint-Emilion at its most seductive.

2021 Bordeaux Sec “Les Clous”
France | Bordeaux
A nervy, age-worthy wine; it smells remarkably like top-notch Chablis, but on the palate hints at cool and tropical fruits like melon, lychee, and lime.

2021 Bordeaux Blanc “Les Joualles”
France | Bordeaux
Ripe and opulent, this is one of the Alibrands’ first-ever single-vineyard dry whites made from 100% Sémillon vinified and raised in oak.

2020 Bordeaux Sec “Les Clous”
France | Bordeaux
It has the nerve and precision of the Définition cuvée along with additional weight and structure.

2016 Fronsac
France | Bordeaux
There is nothing overdone in this chiseled, elegant cuvée made from organically grown and pampered Merlot.

About The Producer
Domaine de l'Alliance
About The Region
Bordeaux
Often considered the wine capital of the world, Bordeaux and its wines have captured the minds, hearts, and wallets of wine drinkers for centuries. For many, the wines provide an inalienable benchmark against which all other wines are measured.
Bordeaux is divided into three winegrowing regions with the city that gives the region its name in the near geographical center. The “right bank,” or the area located east of the Dordogne River, produces wines that are predominantly Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The “left bank” is located to the west of the Garonne River and produces wines dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
The third region, Entre-Deux-Mers, lies between both rivers and produces white wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. Though technically in the left bank, it is worth noting the appellation of Sauternes, which produces arguably the world’s most famous sweet wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle as well.
Though many top Bordeaux wines are sold en primeur (in advance of their bottling) and often through a middleman known as a negoçiant, Kermit has always preferred to purchase directly from the winemaker. For more than three decades he has sought out small producers, who make classic Bordeaux wines and are willing to play outside the negoçiant system. This ethic has led to longstanding relationships, excellent prices, and perhaps most important—wines of great value and longevity.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
