Fire on the Mountain Revisited: 2014 Domaine Belluard Le Feu

I didn't want summer to slip away without offering Belluard's Le Feu. Le Feu's alpine purity and crackling minerality are perfect for the warm months. It seemed like the right time to revisit the stunning 2014 Le Feu.

On Another Plane - Magnum Edition: 2014 Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin VV Magnums

I'm sure that this small parcel of Fourrier's 2014 Gevrey VV in magnum will disappear quickly. Like Roumier's Chambolle and Mugneret-Gibourg's  Vosne-Romanée, Fourrier's Gevrey VV is a special village wine. One that's hunted down year-after-year by serious collectors.

Irresistible Deliciousness: 2015 Dutraive Fleurie Chapelle Des Bois

Just over a week ago, we offered Dutraive's 2015 Grand'Cour VV. It sold out in a flash. Today, we turn to Dutraive's Chapelle Des Bois. Chapelle des Bois shows a very different dimension to Dutraive's style. Chapelle des Bois and Grand' Cour can be viewed as bookends. If Grand' Cour is "Fleurie with teeth" in its structure and power, Chapelle des Bois is more delicate and feminine.

Rare Sighting - Mature White Burgundy:
1982 Potel Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Combettes

Combettes is one of my favorite of Puligny's 1er Crus. And when you combine that with the '82 White Burgundy vintage, I snapped up this parcel quickly. What I love about Combettes is how it combines a tightly wound stony core with a rich, floral accented presence. It also struts the intangible breed that top 1er Cru White Burgundy possesses.

Mugnier Shining Bright:
2014 Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale

While Mugnier's entire line-up is stunning, over the past few vintages the intersection of price and quality in the Maréchale has gone off the charts. Because of this, we make it a point to offer it every vintage.

Raw Power, Regal Elegance:
2006 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino

Every time we offer Il Poggione, the response is huge. Without a doubt, the wines represent some of the best value we know of for traditional Brunello. Normally, we wouldn’t entertain offering Brunello in the middle of August. But when this well-priced parcel of Il Poggione came my way, I knew I had to jump on it.

"A total knock-out"
Vouette et Sorbée Fidèle Extra Brut (2012)

Over the past few vintages, we've watched Fidèle take off. It's always been an impressive bottle, but recently it's surprised us. The 2012 base may very well be the strongest example of this wine to date. Galloni isn't out of line at all when he calls it "a knock out."

Only The Essential:
2013 Colin-Morey St. Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière

Colin-Morey's are the purest and most intense expressions of Chardonnay around. The 2013s brought the domaine's clarity and precision to the next level. When they were first released, I bought every bottle of the 2013 PYCM that I could get my hands on. I jumped at the chance to reload on the St. Aubin Chatenière.
