Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 2022
$215.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet has pleasing mineralité on the nose, almost making it worthy of a Premier Cru. It is very finely focused, with touches of hazelnut emerging with time. The palate is very well-balanced, with fine tension and poise. Not amazingly complex, yet it delivers in terms of purity and precision. Drink this over the next […]

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derriere chez Edouard VV Rouge 2022
$305.00This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard, where the soils have more clay and have historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old and give very small, ripe and intensely […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Sylvie Esmonin Bourgogne Rouge 2022

The rich, delicious and voluminous middleweight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level.

Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2022
$150.00“Mid purple, the nose offers a leaner raspberry style, and then a little more flesh behind, a darker fruit before the white pepper kicks in, with a little fresh but not vegetal bitterness to finish.” Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy 87-90 Points

Paul Pillot Bourgogne Aligote 2022

Gosset Celebris Rose 2008
$425.00I like to drink Champagne, like any other wine and to not sip. I critique Champagne no differently to any other wine, the attributes of concentration, complexity of flavour, textural evenness, length of presence and the harmony of elements. So when I tasted Gosset’s Celebris Rose 2008, I knew instantly I was in the presence […]
