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 […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Dark fruits and rounder in shape than the other village wines. Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, cherry and Christmas spice. The sweet fruit is counterbalanced by savoury notes of clove, cured meats and bay leaf.

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2022 (1500ml)

Thierry Glantenay Pommard 1er Cru Saussilles 2019
$225.00The latest rendition of a cuvée that goes from strength to strength, Glantenay‘s old vine 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles offers up notions of Griotte cherries, cassis, potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, racy and concentrated, with superb depth at the core and a saline finish, it’s well worth seeking out. As I’ve written […]

Thierry Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2019
$210.00The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots was the last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation, and its bouquet of smoky blackberries and cherries was still comparatively unformed. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, its bright acids and powdery tannins mark it out as a particular success this year. 91-93+ Points – William Kelley, […]

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2019
$425.00The Lamarche Echézeaux comes from three lieux-dits: Les Cruots ou Vignes Blanches, Clos-Saint-Denis, and Les Champs Traversins. 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. Of this cuvée, Jasper Morris has […]

Domaine des Croix Grand Cru Corton Les Greves 2021
$465.00Here we have the confusing situation of a producer that produces both 1er and Grand Cru Grèves! What are you going to do? Of course, both are great terroirs in their respective communes. This, the Grand Cru example, is situated mid-slope on the hill of Corton with an ideal southeast exposition and is one of […]

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves 2021
$275.00Another of Beaune’s finest terroirs, David Croix farms just 0.30 hectares in the 1er Cru of Les Grèves. Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) refers to this vineyard as “absolutely the heartland of Beaune”, and it typically produces the appellation’s deepest, longest-lived wines. Croix’s parcel, planted in 1968, has been farmed organically for over a decade. The […]

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes 2021
$230.00Along with Beaune Grèves, this vineyard shares its name with a Grand Cru vineyard on the nearby hill of Corton. Both Bressandes sites are named for the historic landholder, Jean Bressans. The domaine’s vines sit high on the slope above Beaune at 300 metres on a 25-degree incline. It’s steep enough that Croix has to cultivate part […]

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains 2021

$190.00Les Cent Vignes is one of the first vineyards you encounter if you’re heading west out of Beaune.

Domaine des Croix Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets 2021
$175.00Lying just under Les Marconnets, Les Peuillets shares a border with Beaune’s Blanche Fleur vineyard. If you’ve ever visited Savigny, you would have passed the vineyard on your left as you enter the valley heading towards the village. The domaine tends a 0.57-hectare parcel of 1971-planted vines. A lot of sand runs through the argilo-calcaire here, which is partly responsible for the […]

Henri Germain Meursault Clos des Mouches Rouge 2021
$225.00This should not be confused with the Beaune Premier Cru of the same name. Meursault’s Clos des Mouches is a tiny monopole belonging to Henri Germain and devoted to Pinot Noir. It could be labelled as Volnay, as most reds from Meursault are, but Germain chooses to call a Meursault a Meursault. The half-hectare site lies near the Volnay border, due south […]

Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2021

Long and interesting, indeed absorbing wine. I love!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report A very high, cold, rocky, late-ripening site, Montrevenots is at the top of the hill on the Pommard […]

Antoine Jobard Pommard 2021
$275.00“Also a nose of depth and guarded darker fruit. Broad, mouth-filling wine – a fine, grainless tannin as a support for everything else. Modest bitters add extra complexity to these finishing flavours. Another wine to wait for, but perhaps becoming accessible a little before the previous Beaune.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pommard Village has […]

Gembrook Hill JKM Pinot Noir 2022
$95.00Two barrels only, about a third whole bunches. The DNA of the estate in overdrive. Sweet and tangy red fruits of raspberry, English strawberry, plum, cranberry, dark cherry and rhubarb. Lovely succulent palate of incredible textural complexity. Cashmere and slick, yet the finish is bookended by firm skinsy tannins. The fruit is abundant, but what […]

Chantereves Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Tuyaux 2021
$200.00The Chanterêves team has been purchasing fruit from Les Tuyaux since 2019. This small plot of 60-year-old vines is located at the northern end of the appellation, next to Aux Herbues on the border between Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Soils are relatively deep, stony and light in colour. Chanterêves’ Nuits-Saint-Georges wines always look more Vosne in […]

Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 2020

Very pretty elegant pure red fruit on the palate, with good concentration, plenty of oak and the slight firmness from the reduction. That apart, this is excellent, and very long. Scored on the basis that the reduction will depart.” 89-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, […]

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2019
$168.00Natural cork. With both this cuvée and the wonderful Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2019 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards lying on the Volnay side of the village. Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. […]
