Martingale Cognac

Thursday, November 30th, 4:30PM-6:30PM Please join us on Thursday, November 30th, for a tasting of the inaugural release of Martingale Cognac.

Grace & Punch - 2021 Chablis At Its Finest
2021 Pommier Chablis "Les Reinettes"

For nearly a decade, we've been following Pommier's wines closely.

Huet Magic:
2010 Huët Clos du Bourg Sec

No other producer has produced quite the cast of Chenin Blancs that have aged so brilliantly. 

Canonica Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barolo Grinzane Cavour & Barolo Paiagallo

Hitting The Bullseye - Revisited:
2021 Foillard Côte du Py

No one renders it with equal clarity, complexity, or textural beauty. Foillard's Côte du Py captures the wild cherry, mineral, and floral-tinged quality of the vineyard in an unparalleled way.

"I was very impressed by what I found here"
2019 D'Angerville: Volnay 1er Cru Champans & Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds

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

The Other Side of Schubertslay:
2022 Julian Haart Riesling Rote Erden

The 2022 Rote Erden has the sleek energy of Haart's Mosel bottlings with the denser and more explosive glycerin-rich power that makes the top Rheinhessen bottlings so compelling. 

2020 Jérôme Prévost:
La Closerie "&", Les Béguines & Fac-Simile Rosé

Prévost's vines are in Gueux. Here you will find unique soils. Champagne's famous chalky soils are buried deep underneath a mix of sand and calcareous clay, laden with sea fossils. Judging from Prévost's wines, something really special happens to Meunier here.

At The Top of Their Game:
2014 Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc

Across the board, they have show-stopping elegance, real impact, complexity, serious cut, and structure.

Grace and Understatement - Revisited:
2020 Jouan Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé

Jouan's Clos Sorbé possesses a haunting mixture of perfume and delicacy.

Single Tree - Grand Cru Cider:
2019 Lesuffleur Cidre Friardel Poire

Simply put, Lesuffleur produces impeccable ciders of the highest order.

"This is an excellent Chassagne villages."
2020 Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet

The unmatched purity and crystalline character of Pillot's wines have made them among the most sought-after white Burgundies. 

One of Beaujolais' Unsung Greats
2022 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie

Cuvée Zaccharie is an old vine bottling from Thivin's two top vineyards, La Chapelle and Godefroy, selected after élevage. Zaccharie is a tour de force that, regardless of vintage, is a mind-bending Beaujolais.

Back Up The Truck - Cru Beaujolais Edition
2020 Dubost Moulin-à-vent En Brenay

The Ultimate (Affordable) Thanksgiving Magnum!
2022 Beurer Trollinger Magnums

If this wine is likely to be the conversation starter at this year's holiday table, it's also likely to be the first bottle empty - it's that delicious and easy to drink.

"Impeccably well-balanced"
2021 Bachelet Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Bachelet's Charmes is one of Burgundy's masterpieces. It is among the rarest treasures of Burgundy.

"Well worth seeking out" - Revisited:
2019 Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Île des Vergelesses

Purity, subtlety, and elegance are the calling cards of Chandon de Briailles. It's a style that has won this domaine loyal fans for decades. You'll find Chandon de Briailles in the cellars of everyone from wine geeks to blue-chip collectors. 

"His growing mastery shows in the quality of his 2019s"
2019 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean

The 1er Cru Clos St. Jean is one of the brightest in the range with floral notes. It has a nervy and radiant core of stony minerality. The wine also has a soaring power that serves as a nice complement to the tension-filled core. 

Rare, Revelatory Loire:
2020 Bernaudeau Vin de France Les Onglés

The wines have a clarity, a deep mineral imprint, and liveliness that is fascinating and straight-up delicious.

"The 2010 Montrose is insanely beautiful."
2010 Château Montrose St. Estèphe

The 2010 Bordeaux vintage is one of my favorites of the past couple of decades.

Back Up The Truck: Loire Edition
2022 Sables Verts Saumur-Champigny Glouglou

Sables Verts' Glouglou was an instant favorite. We discovered Sables Verts earlier this year and they became a go-to for honest and very fairly priced Loire wine.

In Peak Form:
Lafon Meursault & Volnay

In recent vintages, it's become clear that Lafon is at the top of his game.

The Alpine Distance Runner:
2019 Ferrando Carema Etichetta Nera

Neal Rosenthal, Ferrando’s importer, speaks of a 1964 Etichetta Nera that hit its apogee in 1998—at 34 years of age. This is a bottle that rewards patience.

"Crystalline precision and fabulous depth" - Revisited:
2006 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rosé Magnums

Few wines marry opulence with rigor so seamlessly as the Comtes de Champagne Rosé. I can't tell you how many times I've been blown away by bottles of Comtes de Champagne Rosé.
