Francois Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2017
$78.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. Top value. This is aromatically even fresher with its relatively high-toned nose of cranberry, pomegranate and soft earth and spice wisps. There is both good intensity and minerality suffusing the slightly denser flavors that firm up noticeably on the mildly rustic, focused and more complex finale. This is quite good for the genre and worth […]

Claude Marechal Pommard La Chaniere 2017
$140.00La Chanière is the vineyard on the north side of the road leading from Pommard to the Hautes-Côtes, just up the canyon from the premier cru Les Arvelets. It is a cold climate terroir. In a sunny vintage like 2017 this is a very good thing – this is a wine of density, and it […]

Claude Marechal Cuvee Gravel Bourgogne Rouge 2018

Thierry Glantenay Bourgogne Rouge 2018
$75.002018 is one of our favourite Burgundy vintages, with richness, structure, bright fruit and refreshing acidities. A turning point vintage for many Bourgogne rouges, so often expensive and underwhelming. Thierry Glantenay’s Bourgogne Rouge is a case in point, with a luxury of fruit and suavity of style unimaginable 5 years ago. There is a extra […]

Thierry Glantenay Bourgogne Rouge 2019
$85.00The 2019 Bourgogne Rouge delivers inviting aromas of cassis, sweet berries, spices and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s lively and sapid. After the rich, gourmand 2018, the 2019 is a touch more nuanced and dynamic, but this is always a dependable cuvée. 88 Points – William Kelley, […]

Almost full bodied, generous and solid, with driving ripe tannins, waves of acidity and subtle spice and oak notes. Impossible to not be impressed and exceptional value. Years and years of drinking pleasure. Waters Wine […]

Michel Lafarge Passetoutgrain L’Exception 2018
$55.00One of our favourite styles, sadly unfashionable. Soaring, as always, with red fruit and berry compote with a dusting of vanilla. So lively and fresh, more succulence than the 2017 and slightly more tannins. Acidity is incredible, present from the moment it hits the tongue, all the way to the finish. We love this wine. […]

Pernand’s five, red 1er Crus are all south of the village, close to the Corton hill.

Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses Ile des Vergelesses Premier Cru 2015
$145.00Out of Stock
This is a stunning, limestone-rich vineyard. Situated relatively high up on the slope atop Les Vergelesses, it directly faces the hill of Corton. The cool east-by-northeast exposure means that this vineyard is often picked quite late in the harvest, and it produces a wine with great depth of fruit yet equally with an intense minerality. […]

Benjamin Leroux Vosne Romanee 2019

There’s also a barrel of 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons this year. Twenty per cent whole bunches were used, entirely from the Fourneaux parcel, where lots of Pinot Fin and low yields gave great […]

Denis Mortet Fixin Vieilles Vignes 2018
$150.00Five-star wine. From two plots one on black earth and yellow marl in parts, one on the stones in Champs des Charmes which he has had since 2014. Rich bright purple, fine ripe but balanced nose, an exquisite quality of fruit, finer to my mind than the more chunky Marsannay. Not a hint of rusticity […]

Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2018

Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Aux Guettes 2018
$115.00Expressive high toned nose of raspberry, strawberry, plum, camphor and dried flowers. Angular in structure, very elegant and fine boned.
