"This is an excellent Nuits villages and recommended."
2022 Chevillon Nuits-St-George Vieilles Vignes

Chevillon’s Nuits consistently outperforms in its category. It's one of our go-tos for value in Burgundy. 

Revelatory Loire:
2022 Bernaudeau Vin de France Les Onglés

The wines have a clarity, a deep mineral imprint, and liveliness that are fascinating and straight-up delicious.

Not To Be Missed:
2021 Champagne Elise Bougy Le Mont Chainqueux Blanc De Noirs 1er Cru

Elise Bougy's meticulously crafted champagne may largely cruise under the radar, but for people who know them, they are wines to aggressively seek out.

Hierarchies Crumble:
2022 Galeyrand Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge VV

His wines stand out for their purity, detail, and gorgeous textures. We've been working with Galeyrand wines for the past six years and have watched the wines grow more refined with each passing year.

"This is terrific"
2022 Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts

Only 600 Bottles Produced - Singular La Bota Release:
Vinagre Viejisimo Moscatel Bota No #126 Half-Bottles

They've not only unearthed epic sherries but have also expanded the horizon of what the wines of sherry country can offer. Every release from La Bota has an emphatic and unforgettably unique personality.

White Burgundy:
Bernard-Bonin, Carillon, Coche-Dury, Colin-Morey, Lamy,
Lafon, Leflaive, Roulot & More

"Fabulous." -2019 Roagna Langhe Rosso

As we've said many times before, Roagna's Langhe Rosso is a wine that overdelivers in a big way.

"Lovely and understated"
Essential Burgundy:
2022 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière Rouge

Bachelet-Monnot's 1er Cru La Fussière Rouge has become one of the essential red Burgundy values of the store.

Our Go-To Chablis:
2022 Tribut Chablis

Tribut's signature is a complex Chablisienne minerality and sweeping notes of stone fruits, flowers, and a crackling acidity.

"This is a very fine Gevrey villages that is well worth considering."
-2022 Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin VV

Along with Roumier's Chambolle and Mugneret-Gibourg's Vosne, Bachelet's Gevrey is one of the villages wines that collectors buy cases of and drink over decades.

2022 Chevillon Nuits-St-George 1er Cru Les Vaucrains MAGNUMS

There are few producers who have earned my respect over the years the way Chevillon has. The wines are bulletproof in terms of how they age and their consistency. They are also some of the most honest, terroir-specific wines I know.

"A striking, old-school Barbaresco endowed with real charm and class"
2013 Serafino Rivella Barbaresco Montestefano

The Montestefano Cru is famous above all else for how it marries class and intensity. It's a wine that soars with tightly coiled finesse.

The Cult of Prévost: 2022 Les Béguines & Grand Cru

The story is well-trodden, but worth repeating. At the age of twenty-one, Prévost inherited his grandmother's 2.2 hectares of Meunier (the ugly stepchild of Champagne grapes) in an obscure corner in the northwest of Montagne de Reims

"Lovely" -2022 Hudelot-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny

The 2022 combines irresistible dark spiced fruits and silken texture with a stony rigor.

Mosel Mountain Cabernet:
Stein's Delicious Provocation:
2022 Stein Cabernet vom Berg

In the late 1980s, largely as a means of infuriating the local wine authorities, Stein planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in his steep vineyards in the Mosel.

"This is an excellent Chambolle villages"
2022 Roumier Chambolle-Musigny

What's extraordinary about 2022 is how it's both powerful and at the same time lacy, tensile, and beautifully finessed.

"A striking, old-school Barbaresco endowed with real charm and class"
-2013 Serafino Rivella Barbaresco Montestefano Magnums

Teobaldo and Maria Rivella follow ultra-traditional methods. The family's vineyard was planted in 1963 by Teobaldo's father, and the first vintage at the estate was 1967.

"In a word, outstanding."
2022 Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les St-Georges

The Les St-Georges is deeply etched with thundering length and complexity. There's serious intensity delivered with poise and clarity. Les St. Georges ages amazingly well and this is clearly structured for the long haul.

The Rarest of the Rare:
2022 Wasenhaus Spätburgunder Hohlen & Kanzel

The roster of estates that Alex Götze and Christoph Wolber have worked at is impressive (Comte Armand, Bernard van Berg, Leflaive, de Montille, and Pierre Morey). They brought this Burgundian expertise back to Germany's Baden region. Tasting through their lineup, it's very clear how sensitive they are to each vineyard.

"This very powerful effort should be capable of rewarding up to a decade of cellaring"
2019 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest

Along with Raveneau's Butteaux and Montée de Tonnerre, Dauvissat's Forest is one of the most sought after and ageworthy 1er Crus.

Red Burgundy 1999-2022:
D’Angerville, Bachelet, Bizot, Dujac, Lafarge, Roumier, Rousseau & More

Wine of the Year:
2022 Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée

In 2022, the wines of this domaine are incredible. There’s an extra dimension of depth and breadth to these wines from the top to the bottom of the range. 

"The 2004 Vintage is a gorgeous Champagne."
2004 Krug Vintage Brut
