Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Petits Monts' 2020
About Mongeard-Mugneret The Mongeard family arrived in Vosne-Romanée in the 1620, with records showing a Mongeard working as vigneron for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1786. Their legacy now spans over eight generations, however they continue to produce wine with the utmost respect for tradition. In 1945, Jean Mongeard, whose mother was a Mugneret, found […]

Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' 2021
A discreet application of wood suffuses the restrained and beautifully layered nose of mineral reduction, iodine, tidal pool, white orchard fruit and a vague hint of phenolic character. The super-sleek, dense and intense broad-shouldered flavors possess a palate etching mouthfeel while delivering simply remarkable length on the stony, austere and very dry finale that is akin to rolling small rocks around the mouth. The intensity really builds as it sits on the palate and overall, this beauty is

Stéphane Magnien Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru ‘Aux Petites Noix’ 2022
There's a great purity & vibrancy to Magnien's wines. His Faconnières is superb! Once again there is a plethora of floral elements present on the elegant nose of red currant, cherry and pretty spice wisps. The succulent, fleshy and punchy middleweight flavors a really lovely texture that carries over to the youthfully austere and delicately balanced finale. Excellent. Drink: 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 Points

Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru 'Séchet' 2022
An airier and mildly cooler nose reflects notes of mineral reduction, white flowers and the hallmark citrus influences. The sleeker though not denser middleweight flavors possess a more refined mouthfeel as well as more evident minerality that seems to build on the bitter lemon-tinged, dry and sneaky long finale. Lovely stuff and this generously proportioned effort should also reward up to a decade of keeping. Drink 2030+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 91 Points WK 92-94

Domaine Racine Santa Rita Hills 'Sanford & Benedict' Pinot Noir 2019
A combination of three parcels throughout the famous Sanford & Benedict vineyard. Two of the plantings are 10-12 years old, but certainly responsible for the dark, deep core of this wine. The third piece, a small fermentation of the original, own-rooted plantings from 1971, brings the elegance and floral lift.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points

Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo 2020

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello! I've now had a chance to taste through a good wedge of 2020 Barolos. It reads as an interesting vintage. There are many tightly coiled wines at this point that will need time to build generosity. Manley's M8 is one of the highlights of my tasting thus far. It's a complete wine with a caressing shape and flow of fruit underpinned by long, even, layered, serious tannins. Complex with immediate generosity,

Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Meursault 'Clos du Cromin' 2022
“The 2022 Meursault Clos du Cromin may lack a bit of bandwidth on the nose: quite strict citric fruit, a touch of grass clippings, and a bit closed on the day. The palate is well-balanced with good depth on the entry, orange rind, tangerine and grapefruit towards the long, if slightly attenuated, finish.”Neal Martin, Vinous 87-89 Points JM 90-92*Check out Patrick Javillier's Meursault Clos du Cromin too!

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru 'Chambertin' 2001

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Chambertin’ 2001

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.This is the finest bottle of Rousseau's 2001 Chambertin I have ever had. With each taste, the 2001 has something new to say. At times, it is the aromatics that stand out. In other moments, the wine's structure, energy and overall complexity are totally alluring. Dark and brooding, with compelling inner sweetness, the 2001 simply can't be denied. It is utterly profound. It is as simple as that.This tasting of Rousseau’s Chambertin spanned eleven

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Chambertin’ 2002

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.Rousseau's 2002 Chambertin is in the zone. Succulent, racy and open, the 2002 is ready to deliver pleasure. The purity of the fruit alone is striking. Even so, the 2002 is still very much at the early part of its first plateau of maturity, as the flavors remain very bright and fresh. In this vertical, the 2002 comes across as a wine of immediacy, with a bit less structure and overall energy than the very best vintages. I say that with some hesitation,

Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos Saint-Jacques' 2001
Price on Application – Contact us.Good medium red. Strawberry, coffee, rose petal and smoky oak on the nose. Sweet, ripe and plump, with aromatic flavors of plum and spicy oak. Here the nearly 100% new oak percentage (the foregoing wines get little or no new oak) adds considerable sex appeal and nicely frames the wine's rather delicate fruit. Finishes long, subtle and aromatic, with an impression of finer tannins.Neal Martin, Vinous 90 Points Tasted Mar 2004Rousseau's 2001

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 2001

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.The 2001 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has astonishing intensity on the nose, perhaps more like a 1999, with copious black cherries, black truffle, juniper berries and eucalyptus. It seems incredibly young even when juxtaposed against Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux from the same vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, quite structured and grippy, backward and rather masculine yet with disarming poise. This Clos-de-Bèze is only just beginning to s

Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos Saint-Jacques' 2002
Price on Application – Contact us.The 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is just a tiny bit smudged on the nose, but it rectifies that with aeration, offering disarming brambly red fruit, bergamot and potpourri scents, just a slight ferrous tincture in the background. The palate is fine-boned with pure red fruit, structured and slightly disjointed initially. Yet it coheres magnificently in the glass, so smooth. I was shocked when the vintage was revealed because this bo
