"This is a stellar set of wines from Luca Roagna."
2018 Roagna Barbaresco: Albesani & Paje

Roagna managed tannins beautifully. The wines have gorgeous levity and a vivid expression of classic Nebbiolo characteristics: savory notes, herbs, and floral notes. 

Magic in Meursault
2018 Pierre Boisson Grands Charrons

The Boisson family makes Meursault exactly as we like it: intensely mineral, nervy, and with perfectly-judged richness. 

The Grands Charrons is always one of the high points of the lineup. 

Can't Miss Burgundy Value
2018 Hudelot-Noellat Bourgogne Rouge

The ripeness of the vintage gives this edition an extra amount of punch and a lovely suave texture.

Roussillon Revelation:
2018 Danjou-Banessy Côtes du Roussillon Rouge Roboul

Danjou-Banessy's Roboul delivers a freshness and overall drinkability that's very rarely seen in Southern France. It's a bottle that offers equal parts fascination and delightful drinking. 

Brilliant Bourgogne:
2018 Pierre Boisson Bourgogne Blanc

There are very, very few wines at this level that deliver so much for the money.

The Godfather of Dry
2018 J.B. Becker Wallufer Walkenberg Auslese Trocken

Since 1971, Hans-Josef Becker has been crafting incisive, dry Rieslings with an uncompromising, at times almost ruthless, presentation of citrus and mineral.
