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.

Radically Transcending A Humble Category:
2013 Bachelet & Chevillon Bourgogne Rouge

As far as the Burgundy hierarchy goes, Bourgogne Rouge doesn't amount to much. Still, there's a very select few Bourgogne Rouge that get chased down by serious collectors. Today, I'm excited to present two of the best, Chevillon and Bachelet. These are bottles that we buy and cellar every year and drink after being in the cellar for 7-10 years.

One of the great wines of Champagne:
2000 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses

Clos des Goisses is an absolutely unique experience of straining mineral power and aristocratic breeding. The Clos des Goisses vineyard is without equal in Champagne. Clos des Goisses is one of the steepest vineyards in all of Champagne, consisting of 5.5 perfectly south-facing hectares of very hard, deep chalk in the Marne. The incline is so extreme that nets are put up to catch workers who lose their footing during harvest.

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.

Foillard's Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie. Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon. The fact that he can turn out a Fleurie of such glorious typicity really highlights just how sensitive of a winemaker Foillard is.

Burgundy Without Artifice:

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.
