Last Chance, Reference Point Vintage:
2008 Agrapart L'Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Grand Cru

"In a word: superb" - 2015 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte

Pergole Torte is one of Italy's greats. For most of you, that's hardly news. Pergole Torte has been a fixture at Crush since day one. Few wines are so nuanced and complicated that the more you taste them the more deeply you become obsessed with them. For us, Pergole Torte is one of those wines. There's something about its class and incisiveness that we find endlessly fascinating.

Rare Métras Magnums:
2017 Métras Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie VV Magnums

Every year, we hunt down as much Métras as we can possibly find. When we tally everything up, there's always a pitiful amount of magnums. We're happy to offer our small parcel of 2017 Métras Magnums, Fleurie VV and Moulin-à-Vent.

"Beautifully delineated, intense and vibrant"
- 2016 Germain Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Germain's Meursaults have quickly become some of the most exciting examples of the appellation. I've been trying to amass enough Germain for an offering. Frankly, what I was finally able to put together for the Charmes is small. I could be overly optimistic about having adequate quantity for an offering.

"This boxes well above its weight"
- 2016 Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Bachelet's Gevrey is one those special wines that far transcends it's appellation. On paper, it's only a villages wine. In reality, it delivers a depth, elegance and ageablity that greatly surpasses expectations for the category. Very few village wines hit this level - Roumier, Mugneret-Gibourg... The list is short.

The King of Fleurie: 2017 Métras Fleurie VV

Métras' Beaujolais have been fixtures at the store for over a decade. It's difficult to imagine saying anything new about Yvon Métras and his wines. It's also hard to convey the level of excitement that we have when a new vintage is released.

“I like the balance and transparency”
- 2016 Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Rouge

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been blown away by a bottle of Drouhin’s Clos des Mouches. It's an enigmatic wine. It's a 1er Cru from Beaune, an area known for a certain rusticity. Yet Mouches dazzles with its elegance and overall breeding.

Implausible Harmony:
Selosse Cuvee Initial Blanc de Blancs NV

This is the bottle of Selosse that I reach for most often. Initial highlights the magic of Selosse - it's a Blanc de Blancs of seemingly implausible harmony, combining outrageous purity with enveloping power. Its energy and punchy minerality are endlessly appealing.

"Excellent delineation and punch"
- 2016 Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières

Carillon stands as one of the great, time-tested domaines of Puligny. The wines may keep a lower profile than some others in Burgundy, but they are no joke. You'd be hard pressed to find Burgundies as carefully crafted as Carillon's.

Stand Alone Loire:
2015 Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Clos de l'Echelier

L'Echelier is a standout expression of Cab Franc. There's a unique haunting perfume, a lifted brightness and energetic minerality to the wine that overturns what you think is possible from the grape.

Last week, we offered Canonica's Langhe Nebbiolo and it sold out in less than two hours. Today, I'm happy to offer Canonica's rarely seen Barolo Paiagallo. Canonica's wines have become some of the hardest to find in all of Piedmont. Canonica’s Barolo Paiagallo comes from a mere 1.8ha vineyard.

"The 2017 collection by Willi Schaefer is awe-inspiring and possibly the finest ever"
- 2017 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Spätlese #5

We'll keep this brief. Willi Schaefer is one of the most beloved producers in all of Germany. The 2017s are simply stunning and their production was down 50%. For a small estate where demand very often outstrips supply, this is an ugly combination.

Rare Tribut Chablis:
2016 Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy & Côte de Léchet

For years, Tribut's wines have been an insider's secret, snapped up by collectors before they saw the light of day. Slowly word has gotten out (the wines are too compelling to remain a secret), but that's only made finding the wines more difficult. In 2016, the dramatically reduced yields made a tough situation into something painful. Production was down by 50% or more.
