Implausible Harmony:
Selosse Cuvée Initial & Version Originale

Selosse exists in his own realm. The Champagnes are some of the most captivating wines around. I can't think of another Champagne that delivers as much personality in such a seamless and finessed way.

"In a word, terrific"
2019 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

"This is already excellent and potentially outstanding." -Burghound
2018 Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

Chambolle is one of the most beautiful expressions of red Burgundy. For many years, Drouhin's 1er Cru has served as an archetypal Chambolle for me. It's a wine that's simply beguiling.

Magic in Meursault
2018 Pierre Boisson Grands Charrons

The Boisson family makes Meursault exactly as we like it: intensely mineral, nervy, and with perfectly-judged richness. 

The Grands Charrons is always one of the high points of the lineup. 

The Epic Trilogy Returns

Xavier Gérard has maintained a low profile, but he's among the most talented winemakers in the northern Rhône. 

Rhône Royalty
2019 Chave Hermitage Blanc

Over the years, Chave's Blanc has steadily assumed a place as one of my favorite white wines on the planet. There's no other dry white wine in the world that ages quite like Chave's Hermitage Blanc.

The 2019 has a combination of power, purity, and freshness that's really stunning. It's a wine that I buy every vintage, but this is one of the years that seem special. 

The Master of Morgon:
2020 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Côte du Py is one of the iconic and great vineyards of Beaujolais. The site finds its ultimate expression in Foillard's hands.

"Beautifully playful"
2018 Egon Muller Riesling Spätlese Scharzhofberger

There's no expression of Riesling quite like Müller's Scharzhofberger. It offers intensity without weight; a steely nobility that's breathtaking.

The Extreme Lightness of Being:
2020 Nival Pinot Noir "Les Entêtés"

The 2020 Pinot Noir "Les Entêtés" is a wine of extreme vigor and energy. This is a thrilling region we will be hearing much more about in the future.

"Clearly one of the wines of the vintage"
2008 Dom Pérignon Magnums

The 2008 Dom Pérignon is simply an epic vintage of this wine. Dom Pérignon in magnum is the perfect format to capture the wine's magic.

Supremely Elegant Vin Jaune

The 2017 Champans captures the site with stunning precision. I really like its iron minerality and impeccable focus and verve.

All Foillards have an amazing textural intrigue, but here you get an underlying minerality that's profoundly tactile.

Alex and Benoît Moreau produce some of the most exciting white Burgundies around. This marks our first offering of their work in Saint-Aubin. 

Elite Piedmont Rarity - Only Magnums In The Country:
2016 Roagna Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti Magnums

The estate is a part of Piedmont's elite along with Conterno and Bartolo Mascarello. In Barbaresco, Roagna is without peer. The Montefico VV is one of the great wines of the Piedmont. 

Red Burgundy As It Should Be:
2020 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny

The 2020 red Burgundy vintage is astonishing. It combines a dark, saturating intensity and vibrancy, and lift. I share the common opinion that I haven't tasted a vintage quite like it.

The Magic of Dagueneau:
2018 Dagueneau Pouilly-Fumé Silex

There are no examples of the grape that reach an equal amount of depth and sophistication.
