"Really outstanding - very pure and unforced." - 2014 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses

Les Amoureuses is the most sought after wine in Bertheau’s stable. Collectors aggressively hunt it down. And landing it in anything close to decent quantity is very difficult. Bertheau only has 0.32ha of the 1er Cru. Currently, there are only three other listings for Bertheau's Amoureuses in the U.S.

Fire on the Mountain Revisited: 2014 Domaine Belluard 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.

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.
