Without Artifice:
2022 Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanée Magnums

At just 25 years old, Amélie started creating a lot of buzz when she took over her family’s domaine and released a line of top-quality wines from the forgotten village of Fixin. The wines were so compelling that everyone seemed to take notice.

Rhône Royalty:
2022 Chave Hermitage Blanc

As I've said in the past, over the years, Chave's Blanc has steadily assumed a place as one of my favorite white wines on the planet.

Pierre and Jean Gonon have a mastery of St. Joseph that is unparalleled. They have been making some of the most soulful and compelling wines in the northern Rhône.

Morgon's Master:
2023 Foillard Morgon Corcelette VV

Foillard's Cuvee Corcelette is one of the most elegant expressions of Gamay we know. Regardless of the vintage, it's a wine that's very much about the aromatics. They cover a fascinatingly wide spectrum and are delivered with incredible clarity.

Bernard-Bonin, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Leflaive, Lafon, Raveneau, Roulot & More

Holy Ground Part Two:
2017 Pierre Peters Cuvée Spéciale Les Chetillons

Peters' 2017 Chétillons possesses the wine's famous high-tension acidity and piercing minerality. There's a radiance to this vintage that is especially riveting.

Grand Cru In All But Name - Sharp Pricing:
2022 Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

The 2022 shows Drouhin's Amoureuses in prime form. The wine's breeding, whispering complexity, and ethereal finesse are on bold display. Its precision and purity are breathtaking.

Holy Ground In Magnums:
2017 Pierre Peters Cuvée Spéciale Les Chetillons Magnums

This made Chétillons one of the cult bottlings of Champagne. With perhaps the exception of Jacques Selosse, Pierre Peters is the Champagne that industry people talk about the most and in the most reverential terms. Chétillons plays an outsized role in Peters' status.

"This is a stellar set of wines from Elena Brovia and Alex Sánchez."
2021 Brovia Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia & Villero

2021 is an ideal vintage to get a sense of the beating soul of Brovia's old vine holdings in some of Barolo's top Crus.

2023 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

As we've said many times before, Foillard simply has the touch with the Gamay grape. Few other producers manage to capture purity and texture the way that Foillard does.

Weiser-Künstler:
Meditations on the Mosel

The two single-vineyard wines – the Gaispfad Kabinett Trocken and the Ellergrub Kabinett – are masterpieces of the Mosel. Both come from very old, ungrafted vines and are the epitome of old school Mosel. These are cherries for the in-the-know collector.

"This is classic Porusots in that it's very much built-to-age"
2021 Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Porusots

Lafon's 2021 is a wine of dazzling force and verve. The intricacy of its architecture is amazing. It's rare to find a wine working on this breadth and scale that's this poised, detailed, and lifted.

Just to quickly underscore how profound it can be, Bobby, Crush's managing partner, named the 2020 Clement et Emma his wine of the year.

"An elegant, sculpted wine."
-2020 Cappellano Barolo Pie Rupestris

There's not much that needs to be said about Cappellano's Barolos. They are absolutely compelling, old-school Barolos.

"Exquisite"
-2022 Dureuil-Janthial Rully 1er Cru Gresigny VV Blanc

The Gresigny is the most linear and mineral-laden of the line-up. This is where finely etched detail signature of Dureuil-Janthial reaches its apogee. The vines that were planted in 1945 must contribute to the stony density of the wine. 

Hermitage Greatness Meets Value:
2021 Chave Hermitage Farconnet

Chave’s regular Hermitage bottling is one of the greatest wines from the northern Rhone and currently sells for a few hundred dollars per bottle. The Hermitage Farconnet, which is a part of Chave’s négociant label, maintains every bit of Chave’s exacting standards but costs just a fraction of the price.

"Magnificent" -2021 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Francia

Francia is one of Piedmont's great wines, and the 2021 is destined to be included among the greats of the past couple of decades.
