Without Peer:
Selosse Sous Le Mont Extra Brut

The profundity and sheer individuality of Selosse's wines has made him one of the most important producers in Champagne and in wine in general. Sous le Mont dramatizes just how fascinating and groundbreaking Selosse's work is.

Utter Brilliance - Revisited:
2020 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Spätlese

It's hard not to be in awe of Egon Müller. From his Scharzhofberg vineyard, Müller crafts the most consistently magical Rieslings on the planet.

Utter Brilliance:
2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé

The hallmark here is aristocratic breeding with super-fine layers of fruit. It is authoritative in its presence for sure but carries its stature with stunning sophistication.

Wine of the Year Revisited:
2014 Roagna Barbaresco Albesani

Roagna is a longstanding Piedmont traditionalist, but the estate is now one of Piedmont’s greats. No one is making Barbaresco at the same level.

"Excellent underlying tension"
2019 Roulot Meursault Villages

It is razor-sharp, indisputably noble, and emphatically mineral. Roulot makes some of the most riveting expressions of Chardonnay on earth and the Meursault Villages makes this clear. 

Overnoy in the Mosel: Stein's Radical, Sparkling, Minimalism
2015 Stein Riesling "Ohne" Sekt Brut Nature

This is sparkling Riesling at its most delicious and cerebral; the 2015 edition comes to us with well over five years of bottle age, yet the wine shows a driving freshness, a profound mineral complexity with a resinous and firm acidity - this is unquestionably Mosel.

Large Formats:
Allemand, Canonica, Château Latour, Bartolo Mascarello, Muller, Musar, Roulot & Much More

At The Top Of Their Game:
2020 Leflaive et Associes Bourgogne Blanc

Few things make me happier than witnessing Leflaive firing on all cylinders. They are some of the most beautiful expressions of white Burgundy. 

The Real Deal:
2019 Gilles Cornas

Gilles got his start working for Chave and Robert Michel, the legendary old-school Cornas producer who also served as a mentor to Thierry Allemand.

These serious credentials are on bold display in the honest, exacting, and very compelling wines that he produces.

Stand Alone Rosé:
2021 Pradeaux Bandol Rosé

Their Bandol Rosé is one of the most structured, complex, and ageable examples of the category.

"A profound wine in the making...keeps company with vintage's finest"
2019 Trapet Chambertin Bottles & Magnums

There is likely no grander, more soaring expression of red Burgundy than Chambertin.

The Magic of Alzinger:
2020 Alzinger Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd

In Alzinger's hands, Loibenberg reaches a rare level of delicacy and intricacy. You can definitely find more powerful and more layered Austrian wines, but you won't find any as fine. That's a big part of why we love his wines so much.

"This young man is a clear talent"
2019 Pierre Girardin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières

Hitting The Mark:
2020 Julien Sunier Morgon

Sunier's 2020 Morgon highlights his irresistible and very compelling winemaking style. It's gorgeously silken and strikingly pure. 

Red Burgundy:
D'Angerville, Barthod, Fourrier, Ponsot, Rousseau & More

"If you admire both the intellectual and the savage, then this is a must-buy wine"
2019 Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche

Levet's Chavaroche is one of the most traditional and fascinating wines currently being made in the northern Rhône. With age, Levet's wines become even more nuanced, captivating, and refined. 

The Exemplar:
2019 Jouan Chambolle-Musigny & Gevrey-Chambertin "Aux Echezeaux"

Jouan's wines are some of the most mysterious, beautiful, and subtle Burgundies I know.

Once you adjust to their un-showy wavelength and whispering complexity, it's really easy to become obsessed

In A Class of Its Own:
2017 Chevillon Bourgogne Rouge

In 2017, the Bourgogne Rouge has beautiful purity, vibrancy and soil-inflected complexity that's amazing. It sums up so much that I love about the vintage.

"One of the under the radar gems of the vintage" - 2018 Oddero Barolo

The 2018 has a brilliant clarity of expression with a weightless texture and incredible length. It possesses a class far beyond what its humble price tag might suggest. 

Back Up The Truck Corsican Edition:
2020 Clos Fornelli La Robe d'Ange Rouge

We tasted the 2020 La Robe d'Ange a few weeks ago with fifteen other wines all costing considerably more. It was the standout of the tasting. 

"I continue to think this is one of Prévost's finest releases of the decade"
Prevost Beguines Extra Brut NV (2019)

Judging from Prévost's wines, something really special happens to Meunier here.

"This is potentially a great Champans..."
2019 Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans2019 Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans

Whenever the vintage comes up, people always mention d'Angerville as one of the greats.

Extreme Purity:
2014 Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Clement et Emma

Pierre-Yves Colin produced an incredible lineup in 2014. As always, they present Chardonnay at its most intense, its most pure, its most beautifully integrated. 

Stefan Vetter: Origin Story

The brilliant wines of Stefan Vetter are incredibly famous. Eric Asimov in the New York Times has called them a "revelation of how good sylvaner can be". They are also shockingly unknown.
