2021 Oddero Barolo Rocche

"Revelatory, Explosive Complexity"
2022 Colin-Morey St. Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis

Colin-Morey's 2022s are seriously impressive. The wines hit an incredible balance. They have clear fruit, intense minerality, and perfectly integrated richness.

"This is a fine Meursault villages and worth a look."
2023 Roulot Meursault Villages

Jean-Marc's 2023 collection was the greatest group of white Burgundies that I tasted during a recent trip to Burgundy. No one made 2023 whites with a similar level of focus and elegance.

"Revelatory White Burgundy"
2023 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière Blanc

The 2023 Fussière Blanc has an incredible amount of balance, clarity, and presence. It's gripping and intense with lift and focus. There's nice length and a gorgeous tapering elegance on the finish.

"Wonderfully nuanced, sublime Barolo"
2019 Roagna Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

In Rocche, you find a gorgeous balance between the more muscular Barolos of Monforte and Serralunga and the more perfumed examples from La Morra. Rocche leads with beautifully complex floral, red fruit, and spice notes, backed by a firm edge of tannin. Above all, Rocche is about aromatics and elegance.

They are simply gorgeous wines.

Oddero is working at an elite level. In the bright and focused 2021 vintage, Villero really flourished.

Everyone who has tasted Dauvissat's 2023 has said how brilliant they are.

Picture-Perfect Fleurie:
2023 Foillard Fleurie Bottles & Magnums

Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon.

Still, his much less available Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie.

"Very poised, airy and transparent yet with real weight "
2023 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussières Rouge

The style of Bachelet-Monnot is animated by impeccable balance and precision. Their Maranges bottlings maintain an expertly judged rustic edge that stays true to the appellation.
