In this very short harvest, there's a little more oak influence to Sylvain's village Puligny (not more new wood, but more second and third use barrels that needed to be kept full!). It just makes this lovely Chardonnay... Read More
A stunning wine aged in cask for 60+ years before bottling more recently. Widly complex aromas and flavors of candied nuts, brine, candied lemon peels, and a squirt of blood orange with rich sweetness and a brisk, mouthwatering,... Read More
Believe it or not, this now 60 year-old wine is even better once it’s aired out a bit and delivers delight for 12+ weeks after opening if kept a little cool (the “+” is because we’ve never had a bottle... Read More
Should you drink this intense, young, Bordeaux right now? Probably not as the tannins are still firm and the aromatics developing. It's built to improve for another 20 years and drink well through 2055, maybe longer. But with... Read More
A bit more “flamboyant” than “classic,” in sunny 2015 Lascombes pairs classic Margaux aromas with a rich texture and plenty of rich Cabernet fruit. The fine tannins don’t get in the way of enjoying... Read More
A rich and powerful blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, this is showing well now and will continue to unfurl for another 10-15 years.
Organic/Bio Christophe Mignon is really a Pinot Meunier specialist but here he crafts 100% Pinot Noir into something pretty spectacular. From organically farmed vines in the Valle de Marne and with nearly six years on the lees,... Read More
Probably a blend of Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and/or Maccabeu with a smaller amount of Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains or Muscat d'Alexandria – but no one knows for certain. The grape were almost certainly... Read More
Organic/Bio Sisters Adèle and Elsa Matrot craft this lovely Meursault from 12 tiny plots assembled by their parents across the village. Fermented and aged in 1-5 year-old cask, a tiny bit of flinty reduction frames white... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV The difference between a really good “village” Gevrey (like Terroir du Domaine) and a true 1er Cru should be ripeness, concentration and power. Which is very much what you’ll find here,... Read More
Pretty aromas combine notes of various red berries, spice and floral nuances. There is a more refined mouthfeel to the attractively vibrant middle weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the ever-so-slightly rustic... Read More
When the estate was founded in 1949, the then owner named it in honor of his most prized possession: a Willys Jeep given to him by American GIs leaving France after WWII. The fun name has, perhaps, kept many of understanding there... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Morgeot’s relatively heavy, warmer, soils helped mitigate 2021’s April frost damage and then drive lovely ripening in a cool, crisp, year. This opens with very pure, lifted, scents of crisp pear,... Read More
In January 2011, a group of wine buyers sat around a table over a long dinner in Puligny-Montrachet blind tasting Burgundies at virtually every level imaginable. In the middle of a flight of Grand Cru reds from some of Burgundy’s... Read More
