Without Peer
2021 Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé

Every year, we buy as much Pascal Cotat Rosé that we can find. The reason is simple: It is one of the most age-worthy and compelling rosés in existence. Sadly, in 2021, there's a tragically small amount of the wine to go around.

Wine of the Year Revisited

Berthaut-Gerbet's 2019 is about texture and purity above all else. It's a beautifully articulate wine with a buoying undercurrent that makes red Burgundy so unique. There's bright fruits and an earthy minerality that are beautifully interwoven. The overall presentation is one of refinement.

Champagne Rarity:
2014 Ledru Cuvée du Goulté

The 2014 is an especially kinetic, refined, and deep expression of Goulté. It has beautifully textured minerality and deep, subtle complexity. It's high-toned with floral notes, spice, and Ambonnay's classic red fruits.

"This is an excellent Gevrey villages and well-worth checking out."
2020 Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin

Even in the context of Rousseau's Gevrey, the 2020 is an important vintage. It's the total package of layered complexity and lifted finesse. There's a velvety texture that's really appealing. 

2022 Lapierre Morgon Magnums

Lapierre is one of the most beloved producers in Beaujolais and this modest parcel of magnums will disappear quickly.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow:
2021 Envinate Taganan Tinto

The 2021 Táganan Tinto delivers a striking freshness and floral lift. It's backed up by a smoky, saline, pulverized minerality along with dark fruits and spice. It's hard to capture how evocative and gripping this wine is in its soil expression.

Don't Miss Vintage - Burgundy Distance Runner:
2020 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans

They are wines of incredible freshness, depth, and class. In short, it's the total package. 

Hauntingly Delicate, Seriously Intense:
Singular Sherry Vinegar From La Bota

This is an incredibly concentrated and intense vinegar that's intended to be used in drops. It brings a haunting complexity when used to finish braises or greens. When used judiciously, it brings an incredible amount of depth to dishes along with the soaring aromatics that you would expect.

Rarely Seen Lapierre:
2022 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

The 2022 is another example of Lapierre succeeding in a ripe vintage. It's a concentrated vintage for the wine with a washing freshness on the backend that keeps it lively.

Piedmont Rarity, 1.8ha:

Across the board, they are wines of extraordinary clarity, finesse, and unforgettable impact. There are very few wines at this level that deliver so much for the money.

Bachelet, DRC, Dujac, Engel, Fourrier, Lafarge, Mugnier, Rouget, Rousseau & More

Limestone Speaks:
2021 Enderle & Moll Pinot Noir Grand Cru Muschelkalk

This is one of the best "Muschelkalks" Enderle & Moll has made - especially for you purists. Sadly, it was a very short vintage.

The Master of Chinon:
2021 Baudry Chinon Les Grézeaux

Baudry's style is beautifully detailed, vividly transparent, and refined. We expected Baudry to thrive in the energetic 2021 vintage. The 2021 Grézeaux doesn't disappoint.

Red Burgundy As It Should Be, Part Two:
2021 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny

It's nice to see the excitement over Bertheau's wines. They are some of the Burgundies that I'm most fond of. Few producers do purity and transparency better than Bertheau.
