Classicism in Côte-Rôtie:
Magnum Edition - 2021 Jamet Côte-Rôtie Magnums

You can find deeper and more powerful examples, but for us, Syrah is at its best when it's energetic, mineral, and finessed. That's what you'll find here. I expect it to age beautifully in magnums. 

Go-To Burgundy: Finesse & Understatement
2021 Jouan Morey-St-Denis

The Morey St. Denis has always been one of our favorites. It possesses a beautiful honesty that few wines can compete with.

The Origin and Apogee of Mosel Pinot Noir:
2022 Stein Pinot Noir “Red Light” & Pinot Noir “Waechter”

Stein’s Pinot Noir “Red Light” has become an iconic bottling; it is a bright, red-fruited arrow, as sharp as the slate on which it is grown. Stein’s top Pinot Noir, the “Waechter,” has all of this energy yet has more breadth and depth.

Recent Purchases:
Canonica, Carillon, Falkenstein, Lenoir, Mascarello, Rousseau, Wasenhaus & More

There's everything from Huet's 2014 Haut Lieu Franc de Pied Sec to three liters of 2016 Tribut Côte de Léchet.

An Essential:
Krug Grande Cuvée 171st Edition Half-Bottles

Krug Grande Cuvée is one of the great wines of Champagne, and sometimes half-bottles are exactly what you need.

Dujac Magic:
2010 Dujac Morey-St-Denis

Generally speaking, Dujac's line-up is amazing in how it respects no boundaries. Dujac makes epic Grand Cru red Burgundies, shockingly good whites, and, as today’s offer drives home, village-level wines that box well above their weight class. 

Burgundy As It Should Be:
François Bertheau Chambolle & Bonnes Mares

What Bertheau does with this Grand Cru is stunning.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow:
2022 Envinate Ribeira Sacra Lousas Vinas de Aldea

For us, it is one of the sweet spots of Envinate’s impressive line-up. It delivers an incredible amount of precision and textural appeal for the price.

Dauvissat: From Petit Chablis to Les Clos

Along with Raveneau, Dauvissat represents the pinnacle of Chablis.

Red Burgundy:
Bachelet, Bizot, Dujac, Lafarge, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau & More

Recent Purchases:
Collier, Dauvissat, Julian Haart, Miani, Prevost, Tremblay, Trevallon & More

A lot of great and rare wines of sorts have come our way.

The Art of the Kabinett:
2022 Ludes "Monster" Kabinett

The Ludes estate has quickly become one of the most celebrated Mosel estates. These are winemaker's wines, absolutely ruthless, unflinching, uncompromising.

Cult Northern Rhône:
2021 Gonon Vin de Pays l'Ardeche Les Iles Feray

Les Iles Feray's signature is a pitch-perfect clarity with an intricate and detailed presentation of blackberries, olives, violets, spice, and forest floor notes wrapped around a smoke-infused minerality. This is authentic northern Rhône Syrah, rendered with the utmost care.

The Master of Morgon:
2022 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Every year, we buy every bottle of Foillard's Côte du Py that we can get our hands on. And every year, we sell out quickly. 

Chave Rarity:
Back-Vintage St-Joseph Clos Florentin

We're really excited to offer Chave's 2015 and 2016 Saint-Joseph Clos Florentin. It's a wine that we're always on the hunt for. We feel very fortunate to be able to offer back-vintages. 

Cornas From On High:
2020 Gilles Cornas "Nouvelle R" Les Rieux

The "R" stands for Les Rieux, a vineyard that Gilles planted in 2010 that sits at 450 meters high, above the amphitheater of Cornas. It's a vineyard of white granite soils that had never been planted before because historically, people worried about the grape achieving proper ripeness.

Hitting The Bullseye:
2017 Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses

These are some of the most authentic, thoughtful, and often overlooked wines we know. Bize’s wines are such soulful and long-aging expressions of Burgundy that they are “must-buys.”

Stein "Ohne" Library Releases

There are two key differences in the bottlings. The regular "Ohne" is picked earlier and aged in old Fuder. The "Ohne" Heinrich is picked later, representing the top selections, and is aged in smaller barrels.

Overnoy and the Mosel:
Stein's Amazing Ohne Sekt Reserve

This is a wildly complex sparkling Riesling, profoundly deep and layered. It has notes of candied ginger, apple skins, brioche, almond skins, and savory herbal, soil, and mineral notes.

"In a word, stunning."
2021 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

Simply put, Raveneau produces some of the greatest white wines on earth. Although Montée de Tonnerre is a 1er Cru, it has the capacity to rival many a Grand Cru.

The Alpine Distance Runner Revisited:
2019 Ferrando Carema Etichetta Bianca

The wine carries this additional punch and nuance beautifully without sacrificing any of its ballerina-like elegance. It boasts rocky minerality combined with herbs, tar, and crushed flowers.

2021 Bachelet-Monnot Puligny

It is a really exciting villages level white Burgundy. It combines seriousness with an irresistible deliciousness that's rarely encountered in white Burgundy. 

"Rich, dense and explosive":
2015 Roederer Cristal

The 2015 Cristal flaunts the maison's extroverted and suavely textured signature.

"An exceptional wine that delivers the goods."
2020 Montevertine Rosso di Toscano

In any vintage, the Rosso di Toscano stands out with its elegance and refinement. There's an effortless, heartfelt, and graceful quality to the wine that always amazes us.
