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.
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.
Pascal Cotat's 2022 La Grande Côte is epic. There's a soaring and layered complexity that's backed by serious architecture. You get a vibrant core of gripping chalkiness and saline minerality.
The 2022 RR is silky and has a driving tension. As usual, the RR stands in contrast to Keller's dry wines with its darker mineral expression with wet stones and moist earth, even tobacco and clay.
There is perhaps no other German wine estate with a track record of such ruthlessly mineral, profoundly rigorous dry Rieslings. If you are lucky enough to have any Schönleber GGs from 2004 onward, you know the exquisite fine-ness these wines evolve into.
The 2021 Chambolle shows all of the hallmarks of this classical, and throw-back vintage. It is intricate, expressive, and profoundly soulful.
The 2022 offers depth and power alongside a dazzling, bright backbone. The classic profile is on bold display - flowers, herbs, citrus, spice, and a subtle, scorched earth minerality.
Chave's wines are some of our favorites, and we have a particular soft spot for his Saint-Joseph. Along with Pierre Gonon, Chave produces our favorite expression of Saint-Joseph. Chave's St. Joseph is something we cellar each vintage.
Since discovering the wines a few years ago, Trousselle has been our go-to producer for everyday Burgundy.
The villages designation is very deceiving. It seems like Burgundy's hierarchies based on centuries of accumulated wisdom are suspended when it comes to Roulot's Meursault Villages. It is world-class.
This is only the second time we've ever seen a small allocation of these wines; we believe it's only the second time any wine has been released from this curious cellar.
The 2019 Esperluette has a riveting energy with a saline cut. There are beautiful aromatics of stone fruits and white flowers. Everything is presented with a tension-filled drive.
The 2020 Charleston is a wine that's structured to age. This is a soaring, powerfully energetic, and concentrated Burgundy.
For over a decade, we held Schäfer-Fröhlich as one of Germany's top talents. The 2022 Stromberg GG is yet another example of the elite level that Tim Fröhlich works at.
The 2015 is a pristine and seamlessly elegant version of Chave's St. Joseph. When you taste it, every component seems to be in place. There's incredible poise, concentration, and length.
The 2021 Clos Sorbé is a paradigmatic example of the fine-tuned and pensive signature of Jouan's wines. It has pure red fruits with spice, floral notes, and earthy minerality. It has a beautiful elegance and pristine clarity.
This is a majestic Champagne boasting a salty and chalky core with notes of orchard fruits and sweet herbs. There's a sleek drive and crystal-clear focus to the wine that makes it very compelling.
The 2019 offers up a beautiful velvety texture with a raciness that acts as a springboard for notes of spice, earth, and dark fruits. For its level, d'Angerville's 2019 Bourgogne Rouge has class to spare.
When it comes to classic Chablis AC, Tribut is one of the most important names to know. Tribut's Chablis is, without a doubt, one of the best village-level wines in the region.
Trévallon flaunts the nobility that France's south can display. In the 2020 vintage, you can witness the fineness, elegance, and harmony that are Trévallon's calling cards. There's a nicely judged wildness to the wine that imbues it with an extra dimension of mystery, soulfulness, and complexity.
There are few domaines that I respect as much as Chevillon. The NSG VV is one of the village wines that I buy for my cellar every year. The 2020 should not be missed.
In vintage 2022 this is especially true, as the old vines weathered the dryness of June and July easily. They naturally limited their yields and produced grapes with a dense concentration.
The 2009 Rosé is one of those wines that hits you from so many angles. It explodes from the glass with extremely clear layered red fruits, roses, spice, and minerality.
