"Lovely stuff" - 2017 Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée

This is an offer that I could only send out on a holiday. Mugneret-Gibourg's Vosne has always been difficult to come by, but now finding the wine in any quantity can seem impossible. At the end of the day, what I'm offering is a fairly small parcel, but I'm just happy to be able to offer it.

Jouan’s Morey St. Denis has always been one of our favorites.

"The best Tre Stelle Barbaresco I have tasted from Cascina delle Rose..."
- 2016 Cascina delle Rose Barbaresco Tre Stelle

The 2016 vintage in Barbaresco is important. The wines have everything - clarity, concentration, and finesse. Antonio Galloni's impression of the vintage seems spot on: "The 2016s, wines from a potentially historic vintage, may very well put Barbaresco on the map big time." Cascina delle Rose very likely produced the best wines that we've ever tasted from them. The Tre Stelle is stunning.

Extreme Purity: 2017 Colin-Morey St. Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis

It wouldn't be out of line to say that Pierre-Yves Colin's work in St. Aubin has been crucial in establishing the domaine's cult status. This speaks volumes about how impressive his work in St. Aubin is. Colin has holdings in Grand Crus and top 1er Crus yet savvy buyers hunt the En Remilly bottlings down with the same fervor as the Chevalier-Montrachet.
