From the finest slice of Puligny's large Folatieres 1er Cru, on the steepest sloped section of the vineyard where the soils are stony and pour and the exposure almost due south. You'll taste the sunshine here in richly... Read More
As always, extremely limited. As Vinous says in the 94 point review, it's soft, seamless and exceptionally beautiful. White flowers, mint, chalk, lemon oil and marzipan are all finely sculpted. This is an especially taut,... Read More
From Thomas Jefferson's time forward, one of the world's greatest wines. A bit more Sauvignon than usual in 2013 gives a touch of citrus to the broad, layered, flavors. As Wine Spectator says in the 98 point praise, Lightly... 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
Organic/BioLower ABV Not much to add to JancisRobinson.com's glowing 17.5/20 point rave: Certified organic. Fermented in barrel using their proprietary yeast made from their own vineyard. Full natural malo. The wine spends... Read More

The Jacquesson Cuvee 746 is perhaps a touch more concentrated than most 2018-base bottlings, but still wide open and delicious for the blend of golden fruit, citrus and toast flavors that arrive with panache and linger nicely.... Read More
Precise, toasty, sexy. James Suckling's 95 point review tells the tale here: This a special bottling of 1.2 to 1.5 kilos of grapes per vine, all chardonnay vinified separately, having calculated the perfect kilo-per-vine balance... 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
