One of the most consistently excellent wines in the Southern Rhone, in 2020 this soars to new heights. The balanced, soft, feel makes this too easy to drink now, but it will improve for 15 years with ease.
Organic/Bio From vines averaging 50 years of age grown organically in the very heart of Chateauneuf du Pape, all whole cluster and with 3 weeks on the skins before aging in large, old, cask: this is pretty much the essence of... Read More
A hidden gem in Margaux, the property's name translates as sing to the moon, which is what Jose Sanfins was doing when he purchased this small plot of vines while promising to maintain them as a independent estate. It's... Read More
An outstanding 1er Cru Mercurey that shows the flesh and grip this region is famed for – and the value, too! Caroline Fyot and Alexia Russo worked in luxury products and finance in Paris before deciding to move to Burgundy... Read More
In 1994, the great-great-granddaughter of the inventor of Grand Marnier, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, arrived in Chile and discovered a plot of vines planted in the early 1900s on the old, dry, soils of Chile’s Apalta Valley.... Read More
A classic "Right Bank" Bordeaux blend leading with Merlot and spiced with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that delivers stylish and smooth pleasure.
Lower ABV From old vines in one of the oldest named vineyards of Sancerre, this gets the full luxury treatment: old vines, organic and biodynamic farming, hand harvest, and fermentation and a full year’s aging in barrel.... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV As with all his Pouilly-Fuisse wines, Christophe Thibert ferments and ages 80% of this cuvee in tank and 20% in new and second-use French oak. The oak-aged wine tends to show a little reduction before blending... Read More
Organic/Bio Named for Catherine Faller’s father (who passed away young and left Catherine, her sister and mother with the estate), this comes from the slices of the family’s home Clos des Capucins vineyard where sand... Read More
A unfortunately tiny allocation of a brilliant wine from Gerard Seguin's 0.7 acre plot of 40-50 year old vines growing just uphill from Chambolle's landmark chapel. Pretty is a word we use a lot for first-rate Chambolle,... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV From a village site near 1er Cru Morgeot, this is always a richer, more deeply fruited, example of Chassagne Montrachte Pinot Noir. Especially in the very dry and warm 2020 harvest, when the alcohol level... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV While better known for their Chassagne holdings, Lamy-Pillot has a fine portfolio of vines just around the corner in St. Aubin as well. And while the winegrowing and making are just as careful and meticulous... Read More
Organic/Bio Although the Serraboella vineyard – along with Montestefano – produces very “Barolo-like” wines, this release of the Paitin family’s flagship Nebbiolo matches that power with lovely Barbaresco... Read More
Close out on remaining bottles. The blend is similar to Perez's Ultreia St Jacques, but all the fruit comes from a tiny plot of 100+ year-old, ungrafted, vines in Bierzo's El Rapolao cru. The whole grape bunches go into... Read More
Close out on remaining bottles. From an ultra-tiny, one-quarter, acre vineyard planted to Bierzo's usual melange of mainly Mencia and then assorted red and white complementary grapes. A richer, creamier, expression than most... Read More
Organic/Bio Basarin in dialect means sun-kissed, and this famed vineyard on the border between the zone of Neive and Treiso seldom struggles to achieve full ripeness. But there's a bit of altitude here as well, adding a layer... Read More
Organic/Bio Rino Sottimano's first vineyard, purchased in the late 1960s, It's planted to vines 50-70 years old and has been farmed without chemicals since Rino bought it. It's between the Neive and Barbaresco areas,... Read More
Organic/Bio From 45 year-old vines just outside the town of Neive on clay/sand soils, Fausoni is always the most darkly fruited wine from Sottimano. But dark doesn't equal heavy or overpowered here. Something like darkly elegant... Read More
Organic/Bio In Treiso, well to the south of most other famed Barbaresco Crus, Pajore balances the zone's cooler, fresher, climate with a steep southerly exposure and the intensity of 50-70 year-old vines. Very, very, Barbaresco... Read More
If I could tell you (or persuade our good friend Chris Campbell who bought all TWO barrels made) where on Howell Mountain this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon came from…well, you’d be happy to have it at 3x the price. If... Read More
The guys behind The Dude do it again, this time with a very well-crafted Cabernet from Stags Leap that sells for a LOT less than you'd expect once you taste it. As usual, we don’t know who grew the grapes, but it was... Read More
