Benoît Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘La Maltroie’ Blanc 2023

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

Situated just below the village, this great vineyard is Moreau’s largest 1er Cru, even if it remains small at just over 0.3 hectares, across two parcels. The first parcel is 70 years old and sits on thin, stony, calcareous soils, giving the wine finesse and plenty of salty minerality. The second parcel, aged 50 years, is located on slightly richer, brown clay soils and produces a more opulent, layered wine.“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Maltroie is lovely, wafting from the gl

Benoît Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Champs Gain' Blanc 2023

Benoît Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Champs Gain’ Blanc 2023

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

The 1er Cru Champs Gain is in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, just below the famous En Cailleret. Like most of the surrounding crus, it sits on red clay and limestone soils. This profile is predisposed to wines which balance juicy concentration and mineral finesse. Benoît vinified the grapes from a handkerchief-sized parcel of 70-year-old vines located on the upper part of the vineyard. There, the soil is thinner and chalkier, and the vines quickly reach the bedrock. These vines also lie clo

Medium- to full-bodied, ample and charming, it is underpinned by ripe yet racy acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish.

Le Macchiole Scrio 2020

Le Macchiole Scrio 2020

Shiraz/Syrah | Tuscany, Bolgheri

A beautiful Syrah from Tuscany, the 2020 Scrio shows impeccable elegance with a very long and linear style that transcends the nose and the palate. I love the precision of this wine. The celebrated Rhône grape has found a very happy home along this part of the Tuscan coast. The team at Le Macchiole is especially talented at bringing out varietal nuances of dark fruit, baking chocolate, spice, charred meat, white pepper and pencil shaving.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 97 PointsAntonio

Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2021

Trebbiano | Italy, Abruzzo

By all accounts the 2021 is once again a demonstration of why Ian d'Agata decrees the Valentini's Trebbiano hails from another planet. This is only the 10th release of Trebbiano in the 21st century, such is Valentini's dedication to quality!NOTE on the 2020: More savory than sweet, the 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo slowly opens with a rich blend of raw almonds and smoky crushed stone, giving way to dried nectarines and hints of sage. This seductress is ripe and succulent upon entry, yet with

Meunier | France, Champagne

“Today there are a handful of wines from elite, artisanal grower-estates in Champagne that have attracted a nearly cult-like following. One of the most sought-after of these is the meunier of Jérôme Prévost.” Liem Again, this is 2023 base with 20% reserve wine. Prévost’s 2.2-hectare vineyard, Les Béguines, is in Gueux, 10km west of Reims in the north of Champagne.

Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 6-Pack 2022

Special Straight 6 Price

Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 6-Pack 2022

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2022 Barbaresco is a pretty rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, licorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows o its considerable depth. This is one of the few 2022s that is quite resonant texturally. The aromatics could be more lifted and the tannins could use a bit more polish, but those qualities were next to impossible to come by in 2022. The inclusion of some juice from Riserva lots in a great help. This is a stellar showing. Drink 2027-2034Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 Point

Pinot Noir | France, Burgundy

Note: from <2 ha of vines in the upper southwest portion of the commune that includes some declassified 1ers from Les Baudes and FuéesA fresh and ripe nose speaks primarily of cool red berries, spice and a pretty floral top note. There is a lovely sense of volume and punch to the supple and delicious flavors that flash surprisingly good power on the impressively long bitter pit fruit-inflected finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth.

Le Macchiole Messorio 2020

Le Macchiole Messorio 2020

Merlot | Tuscany, Bolgheri

Made with Merlot, the 2020 Messorio is a profound and richly textured wine that has become one of vintner Cinza Merli's flagships. Ripe fruit, dark cherry, oak spice and toast converge with balanced intensity to characterize this generous expression from Tuscany. The issue with Merlot, especially in a hot vintage such as this, is ripeness or, specifically, over-ripeness. Messorio navigates a challenging growing season with flying colors.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96 PointsAntonio G

Note: from younger Musigny vines of less than 25 years of age, the youngest of which were planted in 2007; Lupatelli noted that because so few vines are now less than 25 years of age, the surface area is only about .27 ha and situated in Grands Musigny; 5 barrels produced in 2023This is also quite floral in character with its ever-so-slightly riper array of exuberantly spicy blend of both red and dark cherry, exotic tea and a whiff of dried orange peel.

The 2023 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru has a spellbinding bouquet with pure red fruit, hints of blueberry and incense. There is real mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, sublime poise and energy from beginning to end, and just a hint of white pepper toward the finish.

Note: from a 2.67 ha parcel situated entirely in terres rouges soil in the far southern portion of the vineyard. A slightly riper nose of blue skinned fruit, plum, anise and more evident floral influence is complemented by the equally ripe, rich and opulent larger-bodied flavors where the seductive texture contrasts markedly with the firm, serious, powerful and robust finale. This beautifully well-balanced and superbly long effort should age effortlessly. Tasted Jan 2025Allen Meadows, Burgho

A more restrained if just as pretty and equally perfumed nose displays a similar array of red and dark cherry, exotic jasmine tea and dried orange peel along with a hint of sandalwood.

Note: from an incredible 6.46 ha parcel, which doesn't include the .67 ha section planted to chardonnay. This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping th
