Our Purchasing Philosophy

Rosemont Market is a wine shop like no other. Our wines are carefully selected to include only products that offer the best flavor, a true value, a great story, and are produced using sustainable practices. We focus on small-scale agriculture emphasizing organic and biodynamic methods whenever possible. We seek to demonstrate diversity in our winery representation and are always on the lookout for new and interesting wines to bring to our community. This year alone our wine buyer, Kevin, has tasted over 1,000 wines. Only 30 to 40% of the bottles Kevin tastes makes their way onto our shelves. How’s that for quality control?

In the spring of 2024, Rosemont Market became the destination for Kermit Lynch wines in Southern Maine. Known for his meticulous selection process, Kermit Lynch emphasizes wines that truly reflect their terroir, which has earned him a distinguished reputation among wine enthusiasts. His contributions to the industry have been recognized with prestigious awards, including the James Beard Foundation’s Wine Professional of the Year and the Chevalier de l’Ordre de Mérite Agricole from the French government. Through his company, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, he continues influencing the American wine landscape with his exceptional French wine offerings.

 

Here’s What We Are Loving to Sip On This Month

Available In All Markets While Supplies Last

Eric Chevalier’s Muscadet “Le Clos de la Butte” and Chardonnay
After converting his family’s 25-hectare vineyard in the Nantais region of the Loire Valley to organic farming techniques and manual harvesting, Eric Chevalier further refined his already impressive offerings, particularly his Muscadet and Chardonnay. His grapes are constantly bathed in the salt air of the Atlantic coast, helping nurture crisp, refreshing, and slightly saline wines.

C&P Breton “La Rintournelle” Bourgueil Rosé
Farming organically and biodynamically since the 90s, Catherine and Pierre Breton believe in live, microbial soil to enhance their vines. This direct press Cabernet Franc may very well be the quintessential summer refresher. This bottle packs a punch and leaves you wanting more. Grab an ice bucket, a round of fresh cheese, crackers, and a comfy seat on the porch.

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy Rouge
Oh yeah! This red wine from Sancerre, a region in the Loire Valley known for Sauvignon Blanc, showcases Kermit Lynch’s influence. He convinced Michel Reverdy to bottle his limited-production Pinot Noir in large oak barrels and to produce it unfiltered. This style quickly became popular with Michel’s customers. The result is a fruity, light, and refreshing Pinot Noir perfect for summer enjoyment.
