I wanted to end the year with something big, and a magnum offer of 2008 Dom Pérignon seemed perfect. There's something otherworldly about 2008 Dom Pérignon. The year 2008 will go down as one of the great Champagne vintages of modern times. The 2008 Dom Pérignon is simply an epic vintage of this wine.

Allemand Cornas: 2015 Chaillots & 2014 Reynard

I'll keep this short. Allemand's reputation is too big, and the quantities are too small to drag this out. Allemand's wines are very special. It's hard not to agree with Vinous Media's Josh Raynolds when he writes: "let me state unequivocally that there is no estate in the entire Rhône Valley making finer wines.”

In 2018, something happened that may never happen again. After a series of short vintages, and some devastatingly reduced yields, 2018 brought a relatively abundant harvest.
