A Multi-Faceted Success: 2015 Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet

Domaine Bernard Moreau's White Burgundies are some of the purest and most complicated expressions of Chardonnay around. The wine works on a mind-boggling amount of registers. They are graceful and high-toned, luscious and rigorous, deep with a stern underlying architecture.

“Wonderfully refined” - 2014 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans

D’Angerville’s Champans shows Volnay’s powerful and deeply mineral side, while remaining beautifully detailed and finessed. This helps to explain Champans' extraordinary track record for aging. Every time we've had the opportunity to drink old Champans they've been amazing. We’ve had bottles with fifty years of age that were still gorgeously fresh and completely stunning.

In A Class of Its Own: 2012 Chevillon Bourgogne Rouge

For us, it doesn't get much better than Chevillon's Bourgogne Rouge. Along with Mugneret-Gibourg, Chevillon's Bourgogne gets hunted down with the same intensity as top Grand Crus and often seems as hard to find.

The Ultimate Burgundy Outlier:
2014 Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru La Perriere Blanc

In Burgundy lore, few wines have reached such legendary status as Gouges' La Perriere. Gouges’ Perriere is based on “Pinot Gouges”, a mutation of Pinot Noir that produced white grapes that Gouges discovered in the late forties. What results is one of the most fascinating white wines in all of Burgundy.

2015 Burgundy - Elevated

2015 Jouan Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé

"This beauty is very clearly built-to-age"
2012 Michel Gaunoux Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens

Gaunoux's Burgundies are throw-backs to a different era that scarcely exists beyond the domaine. The wines do not pull any punches - they are steadfastly old school and unapologetically built for the long-haul.

A Dream Brew
2015 Jouan Gevrey-Chambertin "Aux Echezeaux"

I'm going to keep this short. It's clear that word is out on Jouan. Anytime that we've offered Jouan this year, it's disappeared. They are supremely graceful and subtle Burgundies. They have a whispering complexity. Once you adjust to their un-showy wavelength, it's really easy to become obsessed.
