Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Rouge 2018
$68.00Warmer, drier vintages, coupled with low yields, have benefitted greatly Bourgogne offerings. Vineyards that didn’t have quite the right aspect, soils or elevation often struggled to produce wines with real force and character. There was a reason why they were not highly regarded vineyards. Bachelot- Monnot’s Bourgogne offerings, red and white, have been up there […]

Francois Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2017
$78.00Outstanding. 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 Chorey Les Beaune Rouge 2017
$86.00The 2017 Chorey-les-Beaune is again sensational. For a Villages wine from the Côte de Beaune it is brilliant. I think it almost the standard bearing red wine at this estate to me and certainly the bottle that led to my discovery of this great estate back in 2007. This generous fruit forward vintage has again provided superb quality […]

Nicole Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2018
$78.00Lamarche holds 1.5 hectares in the Hautes-Côtes, tucked up in the hills above Vosne in the hamlet of Concœur. This parcel was planted on limestone-rich soils in 1979 and faces due east. The 2018 was fermented with 30% whole bunches and matured mostly in used barriques. The Hautes Côtes are increasingly coming into their own […]

Vincent Dancer Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots Rouge 2018
$114.00Ships in 5-7 business days. A high altitude, rocky site on the Pommard boundary, Les Montrevenots sits on the slope above Clos des Mouches. It’s a south-facing site, which mitigates the vine’s altitude. Dancer’s parcel was planted in 1996. The white marl, limestone-rich soils here are quite different from the greater clay components of Dancer’s other sites. They […]

Hubert Lamy Santenay Premier Cru Clos des Gravières VV 2018
$168.00Lamy’s red from this site comes from a tiny 0.28-hectare parcel of 45-year-old vines in the Clos itself (see the note for the white from this site above for more details on the vineyard).

Claude Marechal Savigny Les Beaune Vieilles Vignes 2017
$96.00The 2017 vintage is one that I think is greatly suited to early to mid-term drinking. The mouthfeel here is always a delight – racy, light, pure, and saline with dark cherry fruit – always a very sensual wine. The grapes come from the following lieux-dits: Pimentiers, Peuillets, and Planchots that provide for a wonderful […]

Bachelet-Monnot Santenay Les Charmes Dessus 2018
$92.00With warmer vintages, brings forth opportunities, and improvements to the reds of the Cotes de Beaune. Bachelet-Monnot is one of those producers who manages to tease out those extra flecks of flavour. The 2018 Les Charmes Dessus is a bargain make no mistake. The quality of this wine is at lest as good as a […]

Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Rouge 2018
$68.00Volnay is one of the most disappointing villages in the Cotes de Beaune, with only a handful of producers making really fine wine wines. There are none better than Michel Lafarge, one of the great estates of Burgundy and quite frankly, terrific value in any context of fine wine. The 2018 Bourgogne rouge is magnificent […]

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. […]

Francois Lamarche Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot 2017
$378.00Out of Stock
The standard lightish Lamarche colour, and you have to go looking for the fruit on the nose. Good concentration on the palate however, though with firmer tannins behind. Follows through quite well. Fractionally more muscular than the Echezeaux but not all that obviously Clos de Vougeot in structure. 92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A […]

Francois Lamarche Grand Cru Grands Echezeaux 2017
$699.00Out of Stock
The 2017 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from 0.30 hectares of vine. It has a tightly wound bouquet at first – one of the few crus from Lamarche to demand coaxing from the glass. It eventually reveals some lovely raspberry preserve, wild strawberry and subtle Seville orange marmalade scents, all very well defined. The palate […]

Denis Mortet Fixin Vieilles Vignes 2017

$80.00The 2018 Irancy Les Mazelots, grown on Kimmeridgian limestone and white and gray clay, has a gorgeous, pure bouquet of macerated black cherries, blood orange and Japanese yuzu.

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge 2018 (1.5L)
$160.00Very complex, remarkably so at this level. Soaring bouquet of blueberry, creamy oak, cranberry, blood plum, raspberry and hedgerow fruits. 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 […]

Claude Marechal Pommard La Chaniere 2017
$132.00La 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 […]

Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2018

At this address Chaumes produces extremely fine-boned, perfumed and sensual Vosne. As per the other 2018s, this was fermented with 30% whole bunches. It’s a superb release for this wine and certainly […]

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2018

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. It’s a terrific value Grand Cru. […]

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 […]

Francois Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2017
$408.00Out of Stock
Some depth of red colour here. Quite a stylish nose, full of intricate detail. More red fruit lurking beneath a superficial floral veneer. Impressive density on the palate, fresh acidity, some citrus notes along with the raspberry, just ripe enough, typically Lamarchian elegance and certainly fair persistence. A few toasty charred wood notes right at […]

Chandon de Briailles Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Fournaux Premier Cru 2015
$88.00This fine 1er cru lies on the Pernand-Vergelesses side of the village, and is thought to have earned its name, ‘place of the ovens’, because the village’s communal stoves were housed here. Aux Fourneaux is a low-lying vineyard with an easterly exposure. The soil has deep, rich, clay and fragmented limestone, and the vines are […]
