Michel Lafarge Passetoutgrain L’Exception 2017
Add to cart$48.00in any six
$55.00 per single bottle
Smoky, cherry, lavender, clove and blackberry nose. Gosh, what a palate! Fresh red fruits, tangy cherry, plum, rhubarb, blood orange, minerals and ferrousness. Lip smacking texture, slippery and driven and a lovely firm finale to really frame the wine. Moreish. More pinot than gamay for me. The gamay rounding out the angles of the Pinot […]

Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Rouge 2017
Add to cart$60.00in any six
$68.00 per single bottle
From 40+ year old vines in Petit Pré that were once classified as Volnay villages, actually just 8 meters away from current Volnay vines. The 2017 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, which comes from vineyards just across the RN74 road in Volnay, offers pretty Morello cherries and crushed strawberry on the nose. The palate is well balanced […]

Hubert Lamy Santenay Premier Cru Clos des Gravières VV 2018
Add to cart$168.00in any six
$180.00 per single bottle
Lamy’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). The planting density is now 20,000 vines per hectare. The vines are not trimmed but plaited and they yield tiny berries with […]

Francois Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2017
Add to cart$78.00in any six
$85.00 per single bottle
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 […]

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Rouge En Guesnes 2015
Add to cart$83.00in any six
$95.00 per single bottle
Simply outstanding – this is Rully’s answer to Nuits-Saint-Georges! Deep, inky, raspberry and kirsch scented fruit and plenty of fine structure. Give it loads of air and hearty food now, or three to five years ageing to bring out the best in the wine. En Guesnes, or Ez Guesnes as it appears on the map, […]

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Bourgogne Rouge 2015
Add to cart$57.00in any six
$65.00 per single bottle
Vincent Dureuil’s cracking Bourgogne Rouge comes from several parcels in Côte de Nuits, principally in the communes of Prémeaux (0.5 hectare) and Puligny (0.34 hectare). The average age of the vines is now over 40 years old, and the quality of the wine is everything you’d expect it to be. A racy, crunchy yet intense […]

Vincent Dancer Pommard Les Perrieres 2018
Add to cart$109.00in any six
$120.00 per single bottle
Outstanding. Top Value. This is aromatically similar to the Montrevenots if perhaps just a bit earthier. There is more volume if slightly less refinement to the medium-bodied flavors that also reflected a touch of minerality on the focused, powerful and only mildly rustic finale. This is a very good Pommard villages and worth considering. 89-91 […]

Vincent Dancer Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots Rouge 2018
Add to cart$109.00in any six
$120.00 per single bottle
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 bring Les Montrevenots more perfume […]

Denis Mortet Fixin Vieilles Vignes 2017
Add to cart$148.00in any six
$160.00 per single bottle
This Domaine has long-produced a Fixin from a tiny, 0.32-hectare single parcel in Les Champs Pennebaut, a terroir located midway up the hill on the Marsannay side of the village. Recently Mortet also purchased a parcel of old vines (60-70 years old) in the southern part of Fixin, on the border of the Gevrey AOC in a […]

Denis Mortet Marsannay Les Longeroies 2017
Add to cart$136.00in any six
$150.00 per single bottle
Longeroies is on the boundary between Marsannay and the next village of Chenôve. It is a star climat of the AOC and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when Marsannay finally gets some), a logic echoed by Jasper Morris MW in his excellent tome Inside Burgundy. Longeroies faces south, and the two Mortet parcels sit mid-slope. […]

Denis Mortet Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee de Noble Souche 2017
Add to cart$100.00in any six
$110.00 per single bottle
As always, the fruit for this wine comes from the plateau at Daix, near Marsannay. The vines here sit at 400 metres, bringing freshness and purity. The very low yields bring remarkable depth and age-worthiness. It is outstanding for its level (it has been for decades) and it will live—and improve—for five to ten years. […]

Chandon de Briailles Savigny-les-Beaune Les Lavieres Premier Cru 2015
Add to cart$114.00in any six
$123.00 per single bottle
A single plot, mid-slope with a lot of limestone in the soil, Les Lavières comes from the word “lave” which was the term used in the past to describe the flat limestone tiles used on local roofs. The name gives you a clue as to the nature of the soil whereby 30 cm of top […]

Chandon de Briailles Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Fournaux Premier Cru 2015
Add to cart$88.00in any six
$95.00 per single bottle
This 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 […]

$110.00 per single bottle
Pernand’s five, red 1er Crus are all south of the village, close to the Corton hill. Like all villages of the Côte d’Or, Pernand chose to suffix the name of its best vineyard to the town’s original name, in this case the east-facing Les Vergelesses. Chandon de Briailles has 1.22 hectares here. This is the […]

Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses Ile des Vergelesses Premier Cru 2015
Add to cart$143.00in any six
$155.00 per single bottle
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. […]
