Origines New England Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A beautifully composed chardonnay from a very cool site at Topper’s Mountain in the NSW New England region. The tyranny of distance has made the development of the region slow, but if you are any doubt, you need to taste this. Jan Taborsky of Origines wines told me that the vineyard had never experienced 40 […]

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022
$150.00This is quite smoky in character with its nose of citrus confit, pear, apple and ocean breeze scents. The generously proportioned but quite punchy medium-bodied flavours possess a lovely texture while exuding evident minerality on the sappy, balanced, complex and solidly persistent finale. 90-93 points – Burghound Click here for our full range of […]

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 […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Luminance 2020
$110.00Luminance is crafted from vines with an average age of 50 years. Planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with an active lime content of over 70%. A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2021
$90.00“This is a very fine, fragrant and floral Le Haut Lieu Sec. While delicate, the 2021 fills the mouth with a cloud of pure fruit reminiscent of violets, apple and nectarine skin. There’s a fine sinew that pulls the wine through on the finish. It can be approached in its youth but will go on […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00Out of Stock
“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Les Bousselots is a mid slope vineyard, with clay rich soils. As you would expect the wines are full bodied, dark coloured and with deep soft tannins. Julien’s rendition is one of the blackest from any producer of this vineyard I can remember tasting. Spiced plum, hedge fruits, black cherry and cassis, flecked with sweet […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges Aux Saints Juliens 2020
$175.00From a vineyard to the north of Nuits, close to Vosne-Romanee. This is a huge wine, dark in colour and dark in flavour. Despite the vineyards proximity to Vosne-Romanee this is very much a Nuits. Blackberry, blackcurrant, mulberry, blood plum, wood spice and flowers. Full bodied, immensely powerful, with a sort of granite like quality; […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

Denis Mortet Marsannay Les Longeroies 2021
$175.00The vineyard name, Les Longeroies, probably comes from the French verb longer, which means ‘to border’. This makes sense as Longeroies is on the boundary between Marsannay and the next village of Chenôve. It is one of the star climats of the AOC and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when Marsannay finally gets some!). Longeroies faces south, […]

Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016
$385.00The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

Thierry Glantenay Pommard 1er Cru Saussilles 2019
$225.00The latest rendition of a cuvée that goes from strength to strength, Glantenay‘s old vine 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles offers up notions of Griotte cherries, cassis, potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, racy and concentrated, with superb depth at the core and a saline finish, it’s well worth seeking out. As I’ve written […]

Thierry Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2019
$210.00The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots was the last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation, and its bouquet of smoky blackberries and cherries was still comparatively unformed. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, its bright acids and powdery tannins mark it out as a particular success this year. 91-93+ Points – William Kelley, […]

Chateau d’Epire ‘Comtesse de Las Cases’ Savennieres Moelleux 2018

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2019
$425.00The Lamarche Echézeaux comes from three lieux-dits: Les Cruots ou Vignes Blanches, Clos-Saint-Denis, and Les Champs Traversins. Altogether these parcels make up about 1.3 hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. Nicole Lamarche works with very low yields here, which, alongside the Domaine’s delicate extraction, results in a superb expression of this terroir. Of this cuvée, Jasper Morris has […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 (1.5L)
$105.00Bouland’s Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole-bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no fining. This is fascinating to compare directly with the Sable (sand) cuvée. Here, there’s more plum and blackcurrant depths, and also a smoky, hot-rocks kind of mineral profile. Long and strong, […]

Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2022
$275.00“A deeper red nose. Despite the obvious freshness, here is seemingly much riper fruit. Broad across the palate and then impressively growing and growing with intensity. The fruit in this sample seems a bit ripe but I absolutely love the middle and finishing flavours of this wine – if it calms it will be a […]

Antoine Jobard Pommard 2022
$275.00“A width of silky, medium sized, aroma. A little like the Volnay – airy and with a different structure/architecture. Here with more concentration and less high-tension activity. This is really a beauty in its contemplative but never heavy or fat style.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “A good bright crimson ruby. There is very little bouquet […]

Chateau de Cerons Grave Rouge 2020
$46.00One of the greatest ever vintages in Bordeaux, Chateau de Cerons has judged the conditions beautifully. Aromatic with notes of flowers, a compote of black, red and bramble fruits, baking spice, wood notes and tobacco. Composed and fluid, a sort of firm elegance. The palate’s fruit is more red and tangy. Medium bodied, energetic and […]

Elegant and quietly complex, this Monthélie Blanc shows notes of white pear, Meyer lemon, crushed stone, and almond skin. A fine thread of acidity runs through the palate, leading to […]

Henri Germain Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains Rouge 2022

Balanced acidity.” 89-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has an exquisite and pure […]

Very well-defined, it articulates its terroir with real aplomb.

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was reductive on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, but that will be addressed by bottling time. There appears to be very good intensity here, and with time, there is an unexpected touch of Shiso leaf. The palate is well-balanced and poised, gently building towards an intense […]
