"One of the great Mosels of 2014"
2014 Adam Dhron In der Sangerei

We said this in a recent Adam offering, but it's worth repeating. In 2014, Adam made some of the best wines ever produced by the estate. Nearly everyone I've spoken to about 2014 Germany has mentioned how amazing Adam's line-up is. The success here is so dramatic that you immediately take notice. 

Burgundy Without Artifice:
2014 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Charmes

Last week, we offered Bertheau's 2014 Chambolle. That night, I was searching for additional bottles to fulfill all the orders that we received. This made me very happy. Bertheau's are the Burgundies that I'm most fond of. They are archetypes of just how graceful and pure Burgundy can be.

Loire Royalty - Stand Alone Petillant:
2010 Huet Petillant

When it comes to sparkling wine outside Champagne, few wines are as coveted as Huet’s Petillant. Huet is a master of Chenin. Even his basic Petillant can rival sparkling wines at twice the price.

Soulfulness and Delicacy in Saint-Joseph: 2014 Gonon Saint-Joseph

What the Gonon brothers achieve on the steep granite slopes of Saint-Joseph is amazing. Appropriately, the wines have attracted a cult following. Finding authentic Northern Rhône Syrah at affordable prices is a rare thing.

An Ideal Platform: 1998 Jamet Côte-Rôtie

The only prudent thing to do is to keep this offer brief. This has all the markings of something that will sell out in a flash. 

Celebrating 10 Years of La Bota:
La Bota Palo Cortado 62 10 Años Después

Equipo Navazos released their first wine just over ten years ago. In no time, they made people realize how great sherry can be. At the start, there were no commercial ambitions. It was simply a group of sherry-obsessed friends who wanted to get their hands on some incredible Amontillado that they had stumbled upon in a bodega. 

This is a wine for the darkest part of the cellar
2010 Dujac Charmes-Chambertin

I've been sitting on this parcel of 2010 Charmes-Chambertin for a while. Even when you factor in how great 2010 was in Burgundy, what Dujac turned out is extraordinary. Out of the entire line-up, the Charmes was likely the most eye-opening for me.

Dazzling Brézé: 2013 Guiberteau Saumur Blanc Brézé

Brézé is holy ground for Chenin Blanc. For many of us, this was made obvious by Clos Rougeard. But this is a truth that's been known for centuries. Brézé is one of the Loire's "Grand Crus." 

100 Year-Old Vines - 0.7ha:
2014 Roches Neuves Memoires

For many, Les Mémoires is Roches Neuves' top wine. There's no doubt that Les Mémoires stands as one of the Loire's grandest examples of Cabernet Franc, boasting a startling depth, sophistication and old vine complexity.

Textbook Chambolle - Killer Value: 2014 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny

When I'm after beautifully classic and great value in Chambolle, Bertheau is the first place that I look. In 2012, I took a flyer on a back-vintage parcel of Bertheau and the wines immediately became an obsession of mine.

2014 Chezeaux (Ponsot) Chambolle-Musigny
1er Cru Charmes

Two weeks ago, offered Chezeaux's Giotte-Chambertin. It was gone in a matter of hours. We knew that word was out on these special bottlings, but the quick sell out and brutal allocating caught us off-guard. 

This is a picture-book Mosel Kabinett... It's a Must Buy -2014 Adam Dhroner Hofberg Kabinett

Wherever you turn, you'll hear essentially the same thing: in 2014, Adam produced some of the greatest wines in the Mosel and some of the best wines in the estate's history. I've been sitting on a bunch of Adam's 2014 Kabinett. It's a wine that's difficult to part with. It's one of the top examples of Kabinett from the vintage and simply stunning in its own right. 

One of the most exciting young growers in Chablis - 2013 Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Foret

A Secret No Longer:
2014 Chezeaux (Ponsot) Griotte-Chambertin

In the past handful of years, Chezeaux's Griotte bottling has gone from an insider's secret to being blown up. There's no doubt Chezeaux's Griotte is a very exciting discovery. It's made by Laurent Ponsot, one of the absolute elites of Burgundy. The exciting part is that the Chezeaux label can be had for significantly less money.
