ABOUT ANSONIA
Ansonia Wines is Mark and Tom Wilcox, father and son wine merchants. We import and sell small batch French wines from winemakers we know. We’re based outside Boston, but ship to most places in the US.
“For wine consumers who love history and storytelling, Ansonia Wines delivers.” – Forbes.com
We work with winemakers around France, but Burgundy is the focus and majority of our portfolio. We stock around 200 Burgundies, most of which are $40-$150, with vintages back to 2007.
Outside Burgundy, we offer wines from the RhĂ´ne Valleys, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Champagne, Alsace, and more.

1. New Wave Burgundy: Whites (12)
The Maconnais is a hotbed of talent in white Burgundy today, where a new generation of young winemakers has taken over their family domaines with energy and refined techniques. The wine here has never been better, and the prices have yet to catch up.

2. New Wave Burgundy: Reds (12)
The CĂ´te Chalonnaise is home to some of the most exciting winemaking talent in Burgundy today, where a new generation of young winemakers has taken over their family domaines with energy and refined techniques. The wine in Givry has never been better, and the price has yet to catch up.
William Kelley calls Gautier Desvignes “one of the leading lights in the Côte Chalonnaise,” and we wholeheartedly agree. Neal Martin calls Nicolas Ragot’s 2023 Clos Jus “well balanced and refined…another delicious Givry from Nicolas Ragot.”

3. New Wave Burgundy: Beaujolais (12)
The Beaujolais is an exciting corner of Burgundy these days, as young winemakers bring new expectations and refined techniques to the region. We’ve been blown away by these two biodynamic winemakers — Dupré-Goujon and Frederic Berne – who are part of a wave of vignerons redefining what’s possible from gamay.
- 4x Berne Regnie “La Pierre” 2023
Vinous 90, “a delightful Régnié” - 4x Berne Morgon “Corcellette” 2023

4. Châteauneuf-du-Pape Sampler (12)
A sampling of three different styles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Pierre André is the original biodynamic source for gorgeous, subtle, layered old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Vieux Donjon is the iconic, traditional, peerless source for classical Châteauneuf. And the humble Christophe Mestre makes perfectly balanced, early drinking gems.
- 4x André Châteauneuf-du-Pape 21

5. 2023 Premier & Grand Cru Chablis
Romain Collet now steers this important domaine in Chablis – he’s energetic and innovative, moving towards organics parcel by parcel and experimenting with recipes for elevage. This mixed case is a half-case of each of two of his finest wines: Grand Cru Valmur, and almost-Grand Cru “Montée de Tonnerre.”
- 6x Collet Chablis 1er cru “Montée de Tonnerre” 2023
BH 89-92, “stony and sleek” - 6x Collet Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2023
JM 91-93, “generous”

6. Clerget Chambolle/Echezeaux Half-Case (6)
Thirtysomething Justine Clerget (Christian’s daughter) is now in charge of this tiny gem of a domaine in Vougeot. She’s brought renewed energy, refined techniques, and a passion for organic viticulture. The Clerget wines were always classical, terroir-transparent, old school red Burgundy; Justine has maintained this spirit but added polish and class.

JM 90-92, “classic Chambolle” - 2x Clerget Chambolle-Musigny 1er “Charmes” 2023
