"A brilliant vintage"
2022 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds

There is a brilliance to the wines that is simply undeniable. 

Hauntingly Beautiful:
2024 Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé

It possesses a haunting mixture of perfume and delicacy. There's a velvety, nuanced complexity to the wine that makes it easy to become obsessed with.

"This is a vintage that will surely stand as one of the estate's defining wines..."
2021 Château Simone Palette Rouge

The 2021 captures these qualities in a way that we haven't seen in a really long time. It possesses a vast spectrum of herbs, dried flowers, bright red fruits, pine, and spice. All of this is presented with thrilling clarity and detail.

Back Up The Truck:
2023 Lionnet St-Joseph Rouge Terre Neuve

Over the past 5-7 years, Lionnet's wines have catapulted into a whole different qualitative realm. Each time that we taste the wines, we're shocked by how good they are. 

Wine of the Year Flashback:
Adrien Renoir Champagne Le Cepage NV

The Le Cepage is all Pinot Noir and really showcases the shimmering and lithe framework of Verzy at its best. There's serious drive with hints of dark-berry fruit and explosive floral and herbal notes. 

"Sublime"
-2013 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé

In any vintage, Comtes de Champagne is one of the most compelling rosé champagnes.

Vollenweider:
Rebirth and Renaissance

These are simply at a level rarely achieved in the Mosel: think Julian Haart, Falkenstein, Weiser-Künstler, and Stein.

Large Formats: Allemand, Conterno, D’Arcy, Dauvissat, Dujac, Ente, Jamet, Lafon, Leflaive,
Mascarello, Roagna, Selosse, Taittinger, Wasenhaus & More

You'll find everything from magnums of 2015 Juge Cornas and Lefalive to three liters of Wasenhaus' 2022 Spätburgunder Möhlin and d'Angerville's 2010 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs. 

A Dream Brew:
2023 Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts

For the past decade, things have clicked into high gear at Bachelet-Monnot. Each vintage, the wines seem to go from strength to strength.

The Star of the Show:
2024 Cascina Penna-Currado Langhe Nebbiolo Bricco Lago

Don't let the price tag or humble Langhe Nebbiolo designation fool you; this is a serious wine. It's very complicated and deep. It drinks like a Barolo that costs twice its price. Equally important, there's a silkiness to the wine that makes it incredibly enjoyable to drink today. 

White Burgundy:
Coche-Dury, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Ente, Lafon, Leflaive, Raveneau & More

Brilliant Equilibrium:
2023 Dujac Charmes-Chambertin

Dujac's 2023s hit a brilliant equilibrium. The balance that the wines possess is astounding. 

Cult Loire:
2022 Bernaudeau Vin de France Les Coqueries

Bernaudeau simply makes revelatory wines. They have a clarity, a deep mineral imprint, and liveliness that is fascinating and straight-up delicious.

Hierarchies Crumble:
2024 Coche-Dury Bourgogne Blanc

Few wines make their greatness as obvious as Coche's do. Nearly every time I open a bottle, I'm amazed. Of course, all of this translates to there never being very much of this wine.

The greatest "Mineral?"
2025 Emrich-Schönleber Mineral Trocken

The blockbuster 2025 vintage offers some of the brightest, most juicy, and mouthwatering wines of the last decade-plus. It is an inarguably great vintage that offers simply perfect balance, the vivid fruit delineated and enlivened by a striking acidity.

Mugnier Rarity Not Seen Since 2008:
2023 Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Fourches

Mugnier excels at transparency, fineness, and regal elegance. Very few producers are able to render red Burgundies this fine and clear. 

Rare Vines Planted in 1900:
2023 Stein Riesling Alfer Hölle 1900

This is a wine we’ve obsessed over, coveted, and collected since the first vintage (2011). It’s a wine we’ve quietly introduced to a few collectors and fanatics, to near-universal amazement.

Red Burgundy:
D’Angerville, Bachelet, Dujac, Fourrier, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau & More

Extreme Purity: 2023 Colin-Morey St. Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas-Mathis

Colin-Morey makes two bottlings from En Remilly. Nicholas et Mathis is the rarer of the two bottlings. It's situated near the Grand Cru site of Chevalier-Montrachet. Compared to Colin-Morey's basic En Remilly, Nicholas et Mathis is deeper and more textural.

Crystalline Purity In Champagne:
Noel Bazin Rosé Champagne "La Pimpante"

This edition of Bazin's rosé is, for sure, the freshest, most finessed, and focused we've ever had. It is energetic, nimble, delicious, and refined.

The Grand Cru of Vin Jaune:
Macle Château-Chalon

Macle possesses an extraordinary ability to take Jura's wild, earthy flavors and, with absolute clarity, weave them together into a unified tapestry that has an undeniable, mineral-driven elegance.
