Wine of the Year #1: Ian's Pick
2014 Roagna Barbaresco Albesani

Morgon's Master:
2014 Foillard Morgon Cote du Py Bottles & Magnums

Foillard is one of the undisputed great producers of Beaujolais and 2014 is easily one of the strongest Beaujolais vintages of the past decade.

"Absolutely Stunning"
2014 Roumier Chambolle 1er Cru Les Cras

"In sum, this is one of Burgundy's greatest domaines and Christophe Roumier is one of its most intelligent and knowledgable wine-makers. The combination of the two produces magic." - Clive Coates

2014 White Burgundy Sweet Spot:
2014 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon

Leflaive resides at the very highest level of white Burgundy. Right there with Coche-Dury, Lafon, Roulot, and Ramonet. Leflaive's 2014s are easily some of the best wines that we've seen from them in the past decade.

Distance Runner - Best to Date
2014 Roilette Fleurie Griffe du Marquis

We've been sitting on our 2014 Griffe du Marquis for a while. This will be one of our last 2014 offers. “My instinct says that this will be [a] more than worthy cellar candidate.” - Joshua Raynolds

Chassagne Two-Ways:
Under the Radar Brilliance -
2014 Dancer Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tête du Clos & 2011 Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets

Vincent Dancer and Thierry Pillot are two of the most exciting and thoughtful winemakers of Burgundy. They mostly cruise under the radar.
