Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Rouge Les Bons Batons 2018
$100.00Out of Stock
Due in mid-September. The 2018 Bourgogne Les Bons Bâtons wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of cherries, raspberries and orange rind.

Claude Marechal Chorey Les Beaune Rouge 2017
$92.00The 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Medium to full-bodied, succulent and lively, its ample core of beautifully succulent fruit is built around ripe, fine-grained tannins. 90-92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate […]

Hubert Lamy Santenay Premier Cru Clos des Gravières VV 2018

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons 2019
$125.00Natural cork. The vines here are owned by one of Leroux’s close friends and are sited in the heart of the 1er Cru on the east-facing, Beaune side of Savigny. This is the area from where the most elegant Savigny wines tend to derive—and this vintage is typically in that vein. Like most of the terrain […]

Claude Marechal Savigny Les Beaune Vieilles Vignes 2017
$105.00The 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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Benjamin Leroux Vosne Romanee 2019
$235.00Natural cork. Leroux now controls two hectares in Vosne, and the 2019 villages wine benefited from the fruit of five separate lieux-dits.

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-les-Beaune 2019
$97.00Screwcap. The lion’s share of this vintage comes from two terroirs: the outstanding Aux Fourneaux in the north of the village and Ez Connardises in the heart of the village. 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 […]

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 […]

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs 2017

$102.00Pernand’s five, red 1er Crus are all south of the village, close to the Corton hill.

Chantereves Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Tuyaux 2019
$160.00Les Tuyaux is located right at the Vosne end of Nuits-Saint Georges, between Les Athées and Les Herbues (with Aux Croix Rouges squeezed in between.) Soils are relatively deep, stony and light in colour. Chanterêves’ Nuits-Saint-Georges wines always look more Vosne in their aromatic charm and supple shape, and this is no different.

Both are relatively high-altitude parcels with iron-rich […]
