Without Peer: 2008 Roumier Chambolle-Musigny

"Well-detailed, pure and very Chambolle" I'm going to keep this short. It's rare that I see back-vintage Roumier Chambolle in any sort of quantity.

"Magnificent Energy" - 2010 Vilmart Grand Cellier Rubis Rosé

“Vilmart's 2010 Grand Cellier Rubis is superb.” - Antonio Galloni For us, there's not a genre of wine that's more difficult than Rosé Champagne. And Vilmart is among the very few that nails it every time.

"Really outstanding - very pure and unforced." - 2014 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

Les Amoureuses is the most sought after wine in Bertheau’s stable. Collectors aggressively hunt it down. And landing it in anything close to decent quantity is very difficult. Bertheau only has 0.32ha of the 1er Cru. Currently, there are only three other listings for Bertheau's Amoureuses in the U.S.

On Another Plane - Magnum Edition: 2014 Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin VV Magnums

I'm sure that this small parcel of Fourrier's 2014 Gevrey VV in magnum will disappear quickly. Like Roumier's Chambolle and Mugneret-Gibourg's  Vosne-Romanée, Fourrier's Gevrey VV is a special village wine. One that's hunted down year-after-year by serious collectors.

Back Up The Truck - Pinot Edition: 2014 Enderle & Moll Pinot Noir Basis

There's no point beating around the bush. 2014 represents a breakout vintage for Enderle & Moll. Back in 2010, we introduced Enderle & Moll's first vintage to the U.S. Since then, the wines have improved at an accelerated rate. As has the buzz surrounding the wines.

"Magnificently Pure" - 2005 Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs

It's very likely that the 2005 Clos des Ducs will go down as one of the greatest examples ever. It's an epic wine.

Mugnier Shining Bright:
2014 Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale

While Mugnier's entire line-up is stunning, over the past few vintages the intersection of price and quality in the Maréchale has gone off the charts. Because of this, we make it a point to offer it every vintage.

Under-the-Radar Lafarge
2013 Lafarge Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées

The Vendanges Sélectionnées may be the hidden gem of Lafarge’s line-up. I'm happy to offer the 2013 Volnay VS at the lowest price around.

Loire Rarity: 2015 Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé

Pascal Cotat's Rosé is one of the most ageworthy and compelling rosés in existence. It's also one of the hardest to track down. Allocations are typically handed out in 6-12 bottle quantities.

Punching Above Its Weight Class: 2014 Lafarge Volnay

This is one of my best scores of the year. There are times when I can imagine drinking nothing besides Lafarge. The wines are brimming with soul, finesse and fascination.

On Another Plane: 2014 Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin VV

The perennial theme with Fourrier is pristine expression, precise finesse and an ultra-seductive mineral-laden texture. In 2014, this shines through brilliantly.

Hidden Gem of Gevrey:
2014 Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin Champ Lieu-Dit

"This is really quite good and worth checking out." - Burghound Lately there's been a lot of excitement surrounding Duroché and for good reason. The wines are startling in their elegance, finesse and value.

It's rare to see this level of quality...
2010 Bachelet Côte de Nuits - Villages

We first offered Bachelet’s 2010 Côte de Nuits Villages back in 2012, and it was one of the best versions of the wine I had tasted. So when another small parcel became available, I jumped on it.

A Stone's Throw from Richebourg:
2013 Drouhin Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts

On the map, Petits Monts is, literally, a small stone's throw away from La Romanée and Richebourg. This is a wine that I always buy when I see a decently priced parcel. This particular parcel is really well priced, and that only sweetens things.

Profoundly Graceful: 2014 Bertheau Bonnes Mares

Bertheau's parcel in Bonnes Mares is a mere .34ha. This is a rare bottle and that fact is all the more painful because it's a wine that I love. Currently, you can only find Bertheau's 2014 Bonnes Mares at two other places.

Stunning Chambolle within Reach:
2014 Hudelot-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny

Hudelot-Noëllat has quickly evolved into one of the most exciting domaines in Burgundy. And somehow, pricing still hasn't caught up.

Jewel-Like: 2014 Drouhin Grands-Echézeaux

Drouhin's Grands-Echézeaux is one of the great unsung wines of Burgundy. For me, there are three great producers of Grands-Ech: DRC, René Engel and Drouhin. Sadly, René Engel passed away in 2005 and prices have skyrocketed. Leaving only two superlative examples of the Grand Cru.

Raw Power, Radiant Energy:
Lowest Price - 2014 Chevillon Nuits-St-George 1er Cru Les Vaucrains

We love everything from Chevillon, but the 1er Cru Vaucrains is one of the gems. Vaucrains' 80-year-old vines produce powerful, incredibly deep, mineral and savage wines. Yet, for all of its intensity, Chevillon's is marked by a clarity and precision that only the best Burgundies achieve.

Burgundy Without Artifice:
2014 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Charmes

Last week, we offered Bertheau's 2014 Chambolle. That night, I was searching for additional bottles to fulfill all the orders that we received. This made me very happy. Bertheau's are the Burgundies that I'm most fond of. They are archetypes of just how graceful and pure Burgundy can be.

This is a wine for the darkest part of the cellar
2010 Dujac Charmes-Chambertin

I've been sitting on this parcel of 2010 Charmes-Chambertin for a while. Even when you factor in how great 2010 was in Burgundy, what Dujac turned out is extraordinary. Out of the entire line-up, the Charmes was likely the most eye-opening for me.

2014 Chezeaux (Ponsot) Chambolle-Musigny
1er Cru Charmes

Two weeks ago, offered Chezeaux's Giotte-Chambertin. It was gone in a matter of hours. We knew that word was out on these special bottlings, but the quick sell out and brutal allocating caught us off-guard.

A Secret No Longer:
2014 Chezeaux (Ponsot) Griotte-Chambertin

In the past handful of years, Chezeaux's Griotte bottling has gone from an insider's secret to being blown up. There's no doubt Chezeaux's Griotte is a very exciting discovery. It's made by Laurent Ponsot, one of the absolute elites of Burgundy. The exciting part is that the Chezeaux label can be had for significantly less money.
