Rare Métras Magnums:
2017 Métras Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie VV Magnums

Every year, we hunt down as much Métras as we can possibly find. When we tally everything up, there's always a pitiful amount of magnums. We're happy to offer our small parcel of 2017 Métras Magnums, Fleurie VV and Moulin-à-Vent.

Long-Haul Beaujolais, Magnum Edition:
2017 Roilette Fleurie Cuvée Tardive

Roilette's Cuvée Tardive is one of Beaujolais' longest lived and most profound wines. For us, magnums are essential.

Knockout Fleurie: 2017 Julien Sunier Fleurie

Julien Sunier has firmly established himself as one of Beaujolais' top young winemakers. Vintage after vintage, Sunier's Fleurie is the star of the line-up.

Don't Miss Lapierre: 2017 Lapierre Morgon

For us, there may be no producer in Beaujolais who succeeds in ripe vintages like Lapierre.

As much as we love Lapierre, there are certain vintages that we get especially excited about and advise that you go deep on. Along with 2009, 2014 and 2015, 2017 is one of these vintages.

The Master of Morgon Revisited: 2016 Foillard Morgon Corcelette

When Corcelette is on, it's one of the most beguiling bottles of Beaujolais around. Foillard's Corcelette bottling has quickly become one of the Beaujolais that we reach for the most often.

Long-Haul Beaujolais:
2017 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Cuvée Tardive

Roilette's Cuvée Tardive is one of Beaujolais' longest lived and most profound wines. There are few bottles of Beaujolais that have the track record for aging, can deliver the incredible value and are as loved as Tardive. It is a wine that we buy in case quantities every vintage.

The Incredible Lightness of Beaujolais:
2016 Metras Beaujolais

We love Métras in vintages like 2016. In these years, they show vividness, delineation and straight-up joyful drinking. For us, there's no better place to witness this than the 2016 Beaujolais.

2017 Lapierre Morgon Magnums

Lapierre is one of the standard-bearers of Beaujolais. We'll keep this brief.

Rarely Seen Lapierre
2017 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

Our allocation of Lapierre's Sans Soufre bottling is one of the most anticipated events. Lapierre's Morgon is one of the most wildly delicious wines in existence. The Sans Soufre bottling takes it to another level. In the U.S. it's rarely encountered and tends to disappear from the market quickly. 

Dutraive From On High
2017 Dutraive Fleurie Carolon

Without a doubt, Dutraive's Beaujolais are some of the most fascinating and delicious wines coming out of the region.

Jean-Louis Dutraive has quickly emerged as one of Beaujolais' best and most sought-after producers. 

Lapierre Rarity Revisited:
2016 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

Lapierre's Morgon is one of the most wildly delicious wines in existence. The Sans Soufre bottling takes it to another level.

The Master of Morgon
2015 Foillard Morgon Eponym

There are few producers in Beaujolais who turn out wines with the same level of clarity and purity as Foillard. When you taste through Foillard's line up side-by-side, it becomes very clear just how sensitive the winemaking is. Each wine is vinified exactly the same, but the differences are striking.

The King of Fleurie - Lowest Pricing:
2016 Métras Fleurie VV

Métras' Fleurie VV is easily one of the best wines of the vintage. We love Métras in vintages like 2016. In these years, they show vividness, delineation and straight-up joyful drinking.

The Master of Morgon Magnum Edition:
2016 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py Magnums

Côte du Py is one of Beaujolais' great vineyards. Foillard is undoubtedly the master of the site. A couple of weeks ago we offered bottles of Foillard's gorgeous 2016 Côte du Py. Today, we're happy to offer a modest parcel of magnums.  

The Master of Morgon: 2016 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Foillard's Côte du Py is as pure and captivating as Beaujolais gets. At this point, Foillard's Côte du Py doesn't need much of an introduction. Still, it's a wine we're so fond of that we feel the need to say at least a few words.

Long-Haul Beaujolais - Half-Bottle Edition:
2016 Roilette Fleurie Cuvee Tardive Half-Bottles

Most of you know the deal with Tardive. Alain Coudert set out to make the anti-nouveau, a bottle to showcase just how complex, structured and ageworthy Beaujolais can be. He definitely proved his point - Tardives with 10 or 15 years of age can be shockingly good.

The Master of Morgon: 2016 Foillard Morgon Corcelette

Foillard's Corcelette has quickly become one of our favorite bottles in Beaujolais. When Corcelette is on, it's one of the most beguiling bottles of Beaujolais around.

Jaw-Dropping Fleurie: 2016 Julien Sunier Fleurie

Without a doubt, Julien Sunier has become one of Beaujolais' top young winemakers. For us, it's tasting his Fleurie that makes this clear.

Rare Métras Magnums -
2016 Moulin-à-Vent VV

We should set expectations right away. There's very little available. In 2006, Yvon Métras purchased a mere 0.6ha of Moulin-à-Vent near his home. In general, Métras of any kind is very hard to find in quantity. Magnums of his Moulin-à-Vent VV are close to impossible to land in quantity. 

The King of Fleurie Magnum Edition:
2016 Metras Fleurie VV Magnums

A couple weeks ago, we offered bottles of Métras' 2016 Fleurie VV. Today, we're very excited to return with magnums.

2016 Dutraive Fleurie & Brouilly VV

Dutraive has been firmly cemented as one of Beaujolais' premier talents. Without a doubt, they are some of the most fascinating and delicious wines coming out of the region. 

2016 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Cuvée Tardive

For Beaujolais fans, Roilette's Cuvée Tardive occupies a very special place.

Lapierre Rarity:
2016 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

Lapierre's Morgon is one of the most wildly delicious wines in existence. The Sans Soufre bottling takes it to another level.

Clarity, Energy and Wild Drinkability:
2016 Lapierre Morgon

Every vintage, we watch people stock up on Lapierre by the case. Lapierre is one of the standard-bearers of Beaujolais. If you were to rank wines on sheer drinkability, Lapierre would top the list.
