Chinon "Grand Cru"
2019 Baudry Chinon Clos Guillot

When the Baudry family purchased Clos Guillot, they were confident that it would become their top site.

White Burgundy:
Carillon, Coche-Dury, Dauvissat, Lafon & More

German Elite, Part III:
2020 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felsenberg Grosses Gewächs

Schafer-Frohlich's 2020s perfectly encapsulate the pull-no-punches style. The 2020 Felsenberg GG has a staggering presence and brilliant clarity. 

"Beautifully long and balanced"
2014 Chevillon Nuits-St-George 1er Cru Les Cailles

The vintage's poise, clarity, and finesse is really compelling. With the possible exception of 2017, we have not seen a vintage of such levity and low-octane purity. 

Piedmont Rarity, Part II:
2017 Canonica Barolo Grinzane Cavour

There's something utterly captivating about the wines. The wines possess an intangible quality that fascinates. The texture, depth, and precision are mind-blowing.

"The airy finesse is simply stunning"
2020 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Kabinett

The 2020 Domprobst Kabinett offers serious cut and a lifted, finessed delicacy.

"One of Italy’s most iconic producers"
2017 Valentini Trebbiano D'Abruzzo

In Valentini's hands, the all-too-often innocuous Trebbiano grape becomes ridiculously complex, age-worthy, and just unforgettable.

Piedmont Rarity, 1.8ha:
2017 Canonica Barolo Paiagallo

Canonica's wines have become some of the hardest to find in all of Piedmont. Canonica’s Barolo Paiagallo comes from a mere 1.8ha vineyard.

"Excellent"
2019 Drouhin Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts

Drouhin's Petits Monts is seamless, dripping with class, and presented with pitch-perfect harmony. 

Indescribable Magic:
2014 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Kabinett

Müller's Kabinetts are some of the great wines of the world and their track record for aging is second to none.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - Magnum Edition:
2020 Tempier Bandol Rosé Magnums

Few rosés combine deliciousness and seriousness the way that Tempier's does. It also belongs to a very small class of rosés that really flourish in the cellar.

Northern Rhône Royalty:
Allemand, Chave, Gonon, & Jamet

100 Year-Old Vines, 0.44ha
Burgundy Masterpiece

We recently drank a bottle of the 2014 Charmes and were blown away by it.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow:
2020 Tempier Bandol Rosé

Simply put, Tempier's Bandol Rosé is special. Few rosés combine deliciousness and seriousness the way that Tempier's does.

2020 Wittmann Grosses Gewächs: Aulerde, Kirchspiel & Morstein

Each of the 2020 GGs are studies in the razor cut and elegance that defines Wittmann's wines.

Magnificence in Montefalco:
2016 Bea Sagrantino di Montefalco Pagliaro

Few wines deliver the mysterious depth and sheer soulfulness that Pagliaro does. In Bea's hands, the burly tannins and power of the Sagrantino grape assumes an astonishing nuance, delicacy, and elegance.

"This is such a gorgeous wine."
2016 Laherte Les Vignes d'Autrefois Extra Brut

The grape rarely gets more nuanced, refined, and so wonderfully elegant than what you encounter in the d'Autrefois bottling. The only comparisons are with Prevost and Chartogne-Taillet. 

Red Burgundy 2002-2019:
Arnoux-Lachaux, Bachelet, Dujac, Lafarge, Rousseau & More

"A wine of extraordinary precision and tension"
2013 Roederer Cristal

For us, 2013 in Champagne is a truly exciting vintage that will likely be considered a great one in due time. 

"This could well rival the 1999, 2005 and 2010 versions in time."
2015 Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Santenots-du-Milieu

The wine competes with top examples from d'Angerville and Lafarge. 

Can't Miss Burgundy Value:
2018 Hudelot-Noellat Bourgogne Rouge

Many savvy Burgundy buyers have caught on—every time we offer Hudelot-Noellat’s Bourgogne Rouge, it seems to disappear in a matter of minutes. But amazingly, the price remains shockingly low.

The Genuine Article - Revisited:
2018 Gilles Cornas

Gilles produces real deal Cornas. We left this bottle off of yesterday's northern Rhône offer because we felt it deserved its own moment in the spotlight. 

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne:
1996-2008

Today, we're happy to pay tribute to Comtes de Champagne with an offering that includes Rosé and Blanc de Blancs in magnum. 

"Fabulous"
2014 Agrapart Minéral Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

Agrapart's Minéral is one of the most riveting expressions of Chardonnay to be found.
