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.

"Excellent"

Lafon's 2019 Genevrières boasts incredible refinement and length. The wine has a pristine mineral backbone that's seriously impressive. The overall presentation of intensity, verve, and finesse makes for a don't miss white Burgundy. 

Brilliant Bourgogne:
2020 Pierre Boisson Bourgogne Blanc Les Herbeux

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.

Untamed Côte-Rôtie:
2020 Levet Côte-Rôtie Les Journaries

We love the wine's rugged honesty. They are a completely genuine expression of Syrah: unapologetically wild and complex.

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.

Back Up The Truck - Piedmont Edition:
2018 Produttori di Carema Carema Riserva

Carema is about an hour's drive from Barolo and amounts to its alpine cousin. It's one of the most riveting and most versatile wines around.

Rhône Royalty, Part Two:

Chave's ability to render Syrah with depth, detail, and sophistication is without parallel. While the Hermitage is among the world's great wines, Chave's Saint-Joseph is where you find outrageous value.

The "Buntsandstein" is normally the most expansive of the Pinot Noir collection; this is perhaps the most focused edition they have ever made.

In short, it is one of Champagne's greatest wines. Cristal Rosé delivers a jaw-dropping finesse, length, and intricate laciness.

Red Burgundy Exactly As We Like It

They are not blockbusters; they do not rely on power. Instead, the wines are mineral and honest, possessing a luscious rusticity and quiet finesse.

Rare Bartolo Mascarello Chinato

Chinato is a Piedmont tradition stretching back to the 19th century. The easiest way to describe Chinato is a cross between a fortified wine and the king of vermouths.

A Surprise From Champagne's Outback:
A. Bergere Terres Blanches Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature NV

The Terres Blanches is a Blanc de Blancs with an utterly unique personality. The wine has an expansive and just slightly wild intensity and a core of precise breeding.

"A powerful, old-school wine... I loved it"
2021 Arnot-Roberts California Red Wine

When we tasted Arnot-Roberts 2021 Red Wine yesterday evening, a blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, we started to plan an offer for today. It's extremely rare that we turn around offers this quickly. 

"This bottling is up there with the best wines that I have ever had from this domaine"
2020 Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche

Levet's Chavaroche is one of the most traditional and fascinating wines currently being made in the northern Rhône. The 2020 Chavaroche is a don't miss vintage of this wine. 

A Winning Combination:
2019 Fourrier Latricières-Chambertin

Few producers are able to coax the combination of volume, finesse, and sleek verve out of Latricières the way that Fourrier has.
