Honest, Untamed, Beautiful:
2016 Levet Côte-Rôtie Les Journaries

When it comes to truly authentic, old-school Côte-Rôtie, Levet’s wines have no peers. These wines reflect the pure and rugged honesty of the terroir. They are a completely genuine expression of Syrah: unapologetically wild and beautifully complex.

A Pillar of Sancerre:
2017 Boulay Sancerre Monts Damnés

Gérard Boulay makes some of the most elegant, complex and longest-lived Sancerres. Along with Vatan and Cotat, Boulay is a pillar of Sancerre’s famed Chavignol region. Out of all of these producers, it's' Boulay's wines that I've developed the deepest fondness for.

Côte-Rôtie In Full Glory Revisited: 2016 Jamet Côte-Rôtie

The heights that Jamet's Côte-Rôties reach have few peers in the entire Northern Rhône. Jamet hits a level of gracefulness and agility that is reminiscent of Burgundy. This is Côte-Rôtie in full glory, flaunting a poised and detailed expression of minerals, herbs, spice, savory elements and florality. The aromatics simply soar.

Rare, Back-Vintage Ledru:
2005 Ledru Millesime Brut Magnums

Getting your hands on Ledru's wines has become a major headache. This is especially true of her vintage Champagnes. Each year the situation gets uglier as the quantities steadily decrease. Since 2011, the size of Ledru's estate has shrunk, her fan base has exploded and demand has been further fueled by her retirement.

Rarer Than Rare: 2016 Gonon Saint-Joseph Magnums

If you search for Gonon magnums in any vintage, anywhere in the world, you will find two listings. I feel very fortunate to be able to offer magnums. However, I should frame your expectations from the outset. They are very limited. I wouldn't imagine offering these were it not a Sunday during a holiday weekend.

Unmatched Burgundy Value - In Short Supply:
2016 Hudelot-Noellat Bourgogne

Every year, Hudelot-Noellat’s Bourgogne Rouge is one of our most popular offerings. Hudelot-Noëllat's Bourgogne Rouge is a perennial back-up-the-truck selection. In 2016, it's sadly not an option. We saw a fraction of what we typically are allotted for this wine. As such, this is only going out to people who have purchased the wine before.

The Petterino estate seems lost in time. With Conterno's purchase last year, it's official that the northern Piedmont has blown up. (Though for many it happened long ago.) Still, you can find producers who spent years in relative obscurity and that results in plenty of value to be had.
