"Wonderfully nuanced, sublime Barolo"
2019 Roagna Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

In Rocche, you find a gorgeous balance between the more muscular Barolos of Monforte and Serralunga and the more perfumed examples from La Morra. Rocche leads with beautifully complex floral, red fruit, and spice notes, backed by a firm edge of tannin. Above all, Rocche is about aromatics and elegance.

A Whole Different Wavelength:
2023 Jouan Morey-St-Denis

They are simply gorgeous wines.

White Burgundy:
Carillon, Coche-Dury, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Lamy,
Leflaive, Pillot, Raveneau, Roulot & More

There are nearly four dozen different white Burgundies.

Roumier
2013-2022

"Beautifully textured, seductive and velvety"
2022 Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée "La Colombière"

"If you aren't familiar with the wines, do yourself a favor and find a few bottles to try"
2023 Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy

"Simply magnificent"
2021 Oddero Barolo Villero

Oddero is working at an elite level. In the bright and focused 2021 vintage, Villero really flourished. 

"Lovely"
2023 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons

Everyone who has tasted Dauvissat's 2023 has said how brilliant they are.

Picture-Perfect Fleurie:
2023 Foillard Fleurie Bottles & Magnums

Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon.

Still, his much less available Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie.

Coche-Dury:
From Bourgogne to Corton-Charlemagne

Honest, Untamed, Beautiful:
2022 Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche

When it comes to unyieldingly honest and unapologetically traditional Côte-Rôtie, Levet's wines are without peer.

Champagne!
Bérêche, Cedric Bouchard, Chartogne-Taillet, Dom Pérignon, Krug, Pierre Peters, Prevost, Selosse & More

"Very poised, airy and transparent yet with real weight "
2023 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussières Rouge

The style of Bachelet-Monnot is animated by impeccable balance and precision. Their Maranges bottlings maintain an expertly judged rustic edge that stays true to the appellation.

"It's a bright, precise rendition of this Chardonnay-dominant cuvée."
Egly-Ouriet Les Vignes de Bisseuil 1er Cru (2018 Base)

The 2018 base of Les Vignes de Bisseuil has intensity, transparency, and energy. There's a vinous rigor that nicely frames the radiant chalky core. There are notes of stone fruits, flowers, and brioche. 

"The quality of Lamy's 2022s is excellent"
2022 Lamy Puligny-Montrachet "Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes"

Lamy's wines are grandly sculpted with eye-opening rigor, and the way that it all came together in the 2022 Tremblots is pretty amazing. 

"If you aren't familiar with the wines, do yourself a favor and find a few bottles to try - you'll thank me."
-2023 Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet

I have a particular soft spot for the mineral precision of Côte de Léchet. It seems that I'm not alone—Côte de Léchet always sells out quickly.

"Excellent"
-2021 Dujac Clos de La Roche

Dujac is one of Burgundy's elite domaines. It's rare that I get to offer their top wine, the Clos de la Roche. 

White Burgundy:
Bernard-Bonin, Colin-Morey, Lamy,Lafon, Leflaive, Pillot, Roulot & More

"Magnificent"
2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé

2023 Lapierre Morgon MAGNUMS

It's an intense, powerful, and layered vintage for the wine. Still, as it always does, the 2023 has a bouncy lift and a fresh streak of granite-inflected minerality. All of this melds into a gorgeous, silken texture.

"This is outstanding and classic Bouchères"
2023 Roulot Meursault 1er 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères

The 2023 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères boasts a beautiful radiance and an incisive presence. Burghond calls the wine "super-sleek," and that gets to the beating heart of the wine. There's a focused and polished elegance to the 2023 that's stunning. 

Riesling at its most Mysterious and Heartfelt - J.B. Becker New Releases

Hans-Becker has brought in more than fifty vintages, and at this point, his touch is so natural and easy that there is an uncommon stylistic continuity among the vintages.

Argentinian Game-Changer:
2024 Bodega Chacra Mainque Chardonnay

Mainque comes from alluvial soils rich in calcaire that are biodynamically farmed. The 2024 is striking. It has a bright, saline mineral core that is complemented by notes of citrus, stone fruit, and white flowers. It has impressive concentration and length, but it really stands out for its incredible tension and poise. By any standard, this is a dynamic bottle of chardonnay. 

"This will be irresistible."
-2023 Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet

Bachelet-Monnot's Chassagne AC is a bottle that we reach for often.
