Guffens-Heynen Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus 2022

Sentio Nebbiolo 2021
$65.00A wonderful juxtaposition here between nebbiolo florals, fruit and tannin/acidity. There’s an imposing structural strength behind the delicacy of the florals and the concentration of fruit. It’s early days, but the basis for an exciting, long-lived wine is here. Rose, anise, cranberry, cherry, dried flowers, earth and leaves introduce a wine that the longer it […]

Previous Base. “The NV (2016) Les Vignes de Bisseuil races out of the glass, showing terrific energy and cut.

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine.
