Traviarti Rosso 2023
$35.00Out of Stock
A very different expression this year, 2023 being cool and wet; rounder, softer and juicier. Blackberry, cassis, plum, dark cherry and raspberry, with a savoury squeeze of fennel, bay leaf and dried flowers. Is there an evolution in style, or is it the vintage? I’m thinking the latter. The more gentle structure a product of […]

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2021

Several different parcels of grape varieties, but all wines were pressed to French oak barriques (36% new) for 15 months.

Roc Breïa Pinot Noir 2022
$245.00Out of Stock
“Théo Dancer’s 2022 Pinot Noir is rather deep and muscular this year, opening in the glass with aromas of plummy fruit and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and primary palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It’s matured in used 500-liter barrels.” 92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate The Roc Breïa […]

Nicole Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2020
$80.00“The 2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge has a little more florality on the nose compared to the Bourgogne Rouge, just a touch more delineation. The palate is crunchy in the mouth and displays a little more energy compared to the Bourgogne Rouge. Pretty, yet early-drinking.” 88 points, Neal Martin, Vinous Lamarche holds 1.5 hectares in […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$55.00Out of Stock
Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

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, […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Bourgogne Rouge Origine 2020
$75.00I’m not sure why, but there has never been a better time to drink Bourgogne rouge or blanc. Usually the least expensive option, also meant poor value. But this is something else. Intense aromatics of sweet raspberry, strawberry, plum, blackberry, subtle wood and minerals. It’s the lightest wine in the range, but carries plenty of […]

Benjamin Leroux Vosne Romanee 2020
$265.00“A little lighter in crimson purple and showing a touch of oak now. Quite powerful, not quite so harmonious but note that this has been tasted directly after the sublime Nuits-St-Georges Aux Boudots. Actually, this is a fine and nicely nuanced Vosne-Romanée.” 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy “There is a very pretty, perfumed and high-toned […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2017
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2018, it’s striking to taste the sites DNA, despite the different seasons and subtly different approach to winemaking. A coolish vintage, wet and humid, so extremely difficult for wine growers, but excellent conditions for Nebbiolo. Very classically styled and reminiscent of Barolo/Barbaresco 20 years ago; translucent and with a russet tinge. Lovely, […]

Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru Les Prarons Dessus 2020
$100.00“The 2020 Santenay Prarons Dessus presents a tightly wound, tertiary bouquet that opens almost reluctantly in the glass. The palate is well balanced and quite saline, and the 25% whole bunches are nicely integrated. Rather spicy with a touch of balsamic toward the finish. So much freshness and vibrancy in this Santenay! Excellent.” 90-92 points, Neal […]

Francois Millet & Fils Beaune 1er Cru Champs Pimont 2020
$320.00Francois is passionate about the quality of the Beaune appellation, particularly some of the more regarded sites such as Clos de Mouches, Les Montrevenots and this 1er Cru, Champs Pimont. The exposition of Francois’ grower is East, but the 1er Cru does rotate round to the South parts. He used punchdowns in 2020 ferments as […]

Chantereves Bourgogne Rouge 2021
$105.00This great-value red is drawn from two vineyards in roughly equal measure: Paris-l’Hôpital in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune on dark, sandy, granitic soil; and Puligny-Montrachet on loamy limestone. The vines in both sites are more than 60 years old on average. This wine captures the quintessential Chanterêves character of fruit purity, savoury nuance and […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Les Bousselots is a mid slope vineyard, with clay rich soils. As you would expect the wines are full bodied, dark coloured and with deep soft tannins.
