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.

2010 Bachelet Côte de Nuits - Villages

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.

Don't-Miss Dauvissat:
2014 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest

While we look forward to Dauvissat's La Forest every year, 2014 is the most exciting vintage for the wine in a long time. It's no secret that 2014 was an exceptional vintage for Chablis. The wines achieved the rare combination of classicism, concentration, and elegance. When you consider Dauvissat’s mastery, it’s no surprise that the 2014 Forest is simply stunning.

Clos Sorbé Two-Ways: Fourrier & Jouan

Clos Sorbé is very likely Morey's most heartbreakingly delicate site. Today, we celebrate two top examples. In the hands of Fourrier and Jouan (and of course, the retired Jacky Truchot), Clos Sorbé is a devastingly intricate, lacey and mineral expression of Red Burgundy.

Drouhin's Grands-Echézeaux is one of the great unsung wines of Burgundy. For me, there are three great producers of Grands-Ech: DRC, René Engel and Drouhin. Sadly, René Engel passed away in 2005 and prices have skyrocketed. Leaving only two superlative examples of the Grand Cru.
