Class Description

Description

Louis/Dressner Selections is an importing company founded in the 1990’s by the late, great Joe Dressner and his wife Denyse Louis. Joe and Denyse were visionaries, never interested in scores, never interested in wines with “gobs of fruit,” and never interested in highly paid wine consultants. They were passionate about low-impact, organic farming methods which produce elegant wines, especially from the Loire Valley and Beaujolais.

Dressner was exploring these regions at a time when few others were. Many of the producers in their portfolio are terroir-driven standards now: 
  • Domaine de la Pépière (Muscadet)
  • Bernard Baudry and Olga Raffault (Chinon)
  • François Pinon (Vouvray)
  • Jean-Paul Brun of Terres Dorées (Morgon)
  • Occhipinti (Sicily) and Foradori (Trentino/Dolomites). 
The company remains in the able hands of Denyse, her son Jules and partner Kevin McKenna.
