Beautifully long and balanced - 2014 Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles

There are few producers in all of Burgundy that I respect as much as Chevillon. And out of his strong line-up, Cailles is one of my favorites. Vaucrains is sauvage, Les St. Georges is epic and bone-crushing, and Cailles is elegant and refined.

The Other Side of Gonon: 2014 Gonon St. Joseph Blanc "Les Oliviers"

The Gonon brothers have amassed a cult following for their St. Joseph Rouge, but their St. Joseph Blanc remains much more elusive. This is the first time that we've been able to offer Gonon's Blanc. It's a very difficult wine to track down. If you look around, you'll only find a handful of listings.

On Another Plane: 2014 Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin VV

The perennial theme with Fourrier is pristine expression, precise finesse and an ultra-seductive mineral-laden texture. In 2014, this shines through brilliantly.

Sub-$25 Summer Stunner: 2012 Bachelet Bourgogne Aligote

Bachelet’s Aligoté is a wine we just can’t get enough of, especially as the temperatures rise. Whenever Bachelet is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is how the entire line-up overdelivers, from top-to-bottom. It comes as no surprise then, that even his Aligote defies expectations. This is one of the bottles that we drink each summer in ample quantities.

Cult Loire Mini-Vertical: 2009, 2011, 2013 Guiberteau Saumur Rouge Les Motelles

A few years ago, you might have only just begun to hear about Romain Guiberteau - about how he was mentored by the Foucault brothers of Clos Rougeard or that his wines are so well loved in France, they are snapped up by 3-star restaurants and quickly disappear from the market. But today he scarcely needs an introduction. His dedication as a winemaker and his enviable terroir have earned Guiberteau a cult following stateside, especially in the past couple of years.

2010 Bachelet Côte de Nuits - Villages

Weightless Intensity:
2014 Colin-Morey Corton Charlemagne

It's a pretty simple equation. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is a huge talent. His 2014's are killer. And Corton-Charlemagne is one of the greatest pieces of earth for the Chardonnay grape.

A Stone's Throw from Richebourg:
2013 Drouhin Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts

On the map, Petits Monts is, literally, a small stone's throw away from La Romanée and Richebourg. This is a wine that I always buy when I see a decently priced parcel. This particular parcel is really well priced, and that only sweetens things.

My Rosé of the Summer:
2015 De Fermo Cince Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo

De Fermo lives a stone's throw away from Valentini. And the two share more than simple proximity. They make profound examples of Cerasuolo. I love crisp, gulpable rosés, but there's the rare occasion that I taste a rosé that reminds me that the category has potential for greatness. De Fermo's did just that.
