Christophe et Fils Petit Chablis 2022
$50.00Absolutely lovely, from the first sniff to the end of the bottle. Clearly an excellent vintage, the 2022 the finest release we’ve seen of this wine. Naturally fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel on fine lees. White peach, nectarine, green apple, hay, subtle cream and pithy lemon. Very fresh and vibrant, so soft in […]

Christophe et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2021
$98.00A terrific followup to the gorgeous 2020. Sleeker, silkier and more mineral, the 2021 nonetheless has a deep core of fleshy, pulpy fruit. High toned citrus, white peach, white flowers, sage and a dusting of wood spice. Bright, vivid flavours, at once so juicy, cut through and chiseled by cool acidity. Waters Wine Co […]

Saumaize-Michelin Saint Veran 2020

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2021

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
$125.00The 2019 Vaillons is currently enjoying its passage in the wood. Clear pale and bright. This is very classical, and has not picked up the wood until perhaps filling out the finish, though it hasn’t become too fleshy. Gives extra structure and length when well handled, as this is. 91-93 points – Jasper Morris 1.5 […]

Henri Germain Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes 2019
$250.00“The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes unfurls in the glass with notes of mirabelle plum, clear honey, white flowers and fresh pastry.

Saumaize-Michelin Vire-Cleese 2020
$60.00Tangy and zesty with citrus, grapefruit, white peach, jasmine and pear. A wine that ensures that you’re tasting the south, full flavoured and rich, but perhaps slightly more controlled and linear than the rest of the range. Yellow fruits begin to emerge on the palate, but are kept very much in check by the lavish […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Blanc 2020
$175.00“Extra vibrance to this aroma, perhaps needing a little sulfur but this is clearly fun too. Mouth-filling, mineral suggesting reduction – dynamic. A nose short of bravo!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report 100% Chardonnay. This Marsannay village wine comes from five parcels, including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée. […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020
$80.00The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely weighted finish. Give this […]

$130.00Out of Stock
“Dureuil’s 2020 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot is showing brilliantly in bottle, bursting with aromas of lime, crisp Anjou pear, stone fruit, white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, this is more chiseled and precise than I perceived just after bottling, concluding with an electric finish.” 94 points, William Kelley, The Wine […]

La Soufrandière Mâcon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Père 2021
$90.00Biodynamic. This comes from a very old, genuine Clos (walled vineyard) that sits on a very rocky, hard limestone bedrock that’s close to the surface and is believed to be an old Roman path. This vineyard is on the lower part of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope and is therefore classed as Mâcon-Vinzelles. The site was purchased by […]

La Soufrandiere Macon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Pere 2020
$85.00Delicate aromatics, not so much closed but hinting. Cool, herbal notes with lemon, preserved lime, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine. Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, […]

La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles 2021
$100.00Supremely complex as you would expect from such a venerated producer. Honey, spring jasmine, lime, grapefruit, honeydew, green apple, discreet oak and Jersey cream. Sumptuous, rich and tangy, fleshy and tingling. Utterly singular, with the energy and verve of riesling and decadence of chardonnay. Wonderful now, but even better in 7 or 8 years and […]

La Soufrandiere Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2020
$125.00Perhaps the emblematic wine of the estate, combining tension, palate weight and power. The high tones, flowers, saltiness and fruit weight are dialled up here, and at this point are in contrast to each other. Time, preferably lots of it will see these two sides come together, although this is one of the most remarkably […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2018

Top Value. A […]

Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 2021
$230.00Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet is discreet, suggesting medium density of correctly ripe fruit. There is a little more body underneath, with quite complex aromatics, a touch of spice overlying a bed of white fruit. Citrus appears lightly at the very end. Looking good! Drink from 2024-2028. 89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW – Inside Burgundy […]

La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2021
$130.00“Here more concentration and ripeness of citrus, not quite exotic but more in this direction. Yet the palate remains clean, direct and intense – just far too drinkable. Broad and intense as the last notes only slowly start to fade – what another excellent wine!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat Les Longeays has […]

Domaine Gueguen Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2021

Green apple, passionfruit, mint, pink grapefruit and juicy lime. Lovely mid-palate flesh, coupled with such intensity is the preserve of Chablis. Finishes with textural interest, chalky and saline.
