2016 & 2017 Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy

I'll make this quick. Anytime that we offer Tribut, we brace ourselves for a quick sell out. Tribut's wines have long been aggressively hunted down by those in the know. If they haven't quite achieved the status that they deserve, it's because they tend to disappear from the market.

2017 Jouan Coteaux Bourguignons

Last week, we celebrated Jouan's dazzling 2017s with an offer on his Morey Clos Sorbé. Today, we trade the profundity of the Clos Sorbé for the sheer deliciousness of the Coteaux Bourguignons.
