“Superb precision and cut” -
2014 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans

D’Angerville’s Champans has an extraordinary track record for aging. Every time we have the opportunity to drink old Champans it’s an amazing experience. We’ve had bottles with fifty years of age that were still gorgeously fresh and completely stunning.

Rare Sighting:
1979 Mugneret-Gibourg Clos Vougeot

There was a time when we were able to offer Mugneret-Gibourg's wines frequently. Those days have ended. The wines have become painfully hard to locate in quantity. Since the 2005 vintage, Mugneret-Gibourg's wines have blown up.

"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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
