JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 2020
$90.00Pre-arrival due August Initially closed, but with coaxing reveals red cherry, plum, cranberry, lime, lemon zest, kiwifruit and pineapple. The palate comes as a bit of a surprise as it’s certainly luscious, but tense and coiled too. Apricot, yellow peach, fennel and lime zest wrapped tightly, but not to tight, in chalky minerals and squeezed […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2020
$110.00Pre-arrival due August “The 2020er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese offers a beautifully pure and ripe nose of smoke, grapefruit, lime, vineyard peach, minty herbs, and bacon-driven aromatics from residual from its spontaneous fermentation.

JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2020
$85.00Pre-arrival due August The 2020er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese is slightly reduced at first but quickly reveals a beautifully refined and floral nose of aniseed herbs, tangerine, mint, smoke, herbs, and almond cream. The wine is nicely playful and light-weighted on the palate, yet it proves nicely complex and long. This is a delightful Spätlese […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2015 Museum Release
$125.00Pre-arrival due August “The 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese displays a very clear, precise and flinty/smoky bouquet of perfectly ripe stone fruits and crushed stones, intertwined with lemon flavors. This Auslese is enormously mouth-watering, incredibly piquant and salty, with an endless flow of lush fruit juice and melting minerals. This is a great Riesling and a […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay L’Ancestrale 2019
$300.00Out of Stock
Pre-Arrival – Due September Outstanding. Top Value. This is aromatically similar to the Le Chapitre though it’s even spicier. There is terrific punch to the denser and more powerful yet quite elegant and refined medium-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract before terminating in a driving, firmly structured and striking long finish. […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge 2019
$120.00Out of Stock
Pre-Arrival – Due September Outstanding. A very fresh and quite cool nose freely offers up its array of red berries, earth and floral nuances. The sleek, delicious and impressively intense flavors culminate in a precise, focused and sneaky long finale. If this can add depth with a few years of bottle age, it could merit […]

Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Rouge 2019

Pre-Arrival – Due September Described by Rajat Parr as one of the best Bourgogne Rouge in Burgundy, Pataille’s first red is a blend of parcels in Marsannay and the Haute Côtes, covering just over one hectare in total.

Gerard Julien & Fils Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Pre-Arrival – Due September ‘Once again there is a certain lack of freshness though not complexity to the more floral scented aromas of dark pinot fruit, spice and earth. The rich and solidly vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess excellent intensity while displaying fine length on the robust, powerful and lingering finish. This overtly mineral-driven effort is […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Saint Georges Aux Saints Juliens 2020
$175.00Pre-Arrival – Due September ‘Much like the straight Nuits, the aromas of poached plum, dark raspberry and game also lack a bit of freshness. By contrast there is very good richness, verve and freshness to the middle weight flavors that are a bit less rustic on the better-balanced finale.’ 87-90 points, Allen Meadow’s Burghound Jan 2022 […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Saint Georges 2020
$155.00Pre-Arrival – Due September ‘Here the nose of various dark berries, leather and earth is slightly flat. There is better vibrancy on the palate as there is fine intensity to the rustic if somewhat grippy finish. It’s hard to say if this will recover but I have my doubts.’ 91-93 points, Allen Meadow’s Burghound Jan 2022 […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Cotes de Nuits Armand 2020
$105.00Pre-Arrival – Due September ‘Discreet wood frames aromas of dark currant liqueur, newly turned earth and a whiff of forest floor. The medium-bodied flavors possess a slightly finer texture along with good vibrancy thanks to the bright acidity that supports the moderately austere, firm and balanced finale. This will need at least a few years […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Cotes de Nuits Villages 2020
$90.00Pre-Arrival – Due September ‘Here too the nose reflects notes of poached plum, dark berries and warm earth. The delicious, delicious and slightly more energetic medium weight flavors possess reasonably good detail on the lingering finish that is not quite as robust or rustic. As such, this should be approachable young if desired.’ 88-90 points, Allen Meadow’s […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Pre-Arrival – Due September 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 […]
