Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2023
$80.00There is ample Chablis typicity to the nicely fresh aromas of citrus, pear and sea breeze. The sense of freshness is enhanced by the vibrant and detailed middle weight flavors that culminate in a lightly stony and appealingly textured finish. This should drink well young but repay mid-term keeping. (88-90)/2027+ Burghound.com , October 2024 […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard 2022
$145.00The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of its coolest due to its altitude and location at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank.

Vincent Dancer Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2022
$590.00Les Pézerolles is a site just above Les Petits Épenots and Clos des Epeneaux and is, therefore, one of Pommard’s highest Premiers Crus. It regularly produces some of the village’s finest reds. It’s a site that gives finesse—in the context of Pommard—and is widely considered to generate a style that is as much Volnay as Pommard. Some big names work […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2022
$85.00Gilli and Paul Lipscombe believe that the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is grown at the viticultural edge. Wine lovers looking for deep colour, extract and high acidity will not find it here. Indeed, this is what Pinot Noir was like twenty years ago, and I liken these wines to a combination of Volnay’s austerity […]

Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 2020
$210.00“Mid pink-purple in colour, notably reduced nose. Too much to blow off.

Mullineux Granite Syrah 2020
$210.00The deep GRANITE soils on this Jakkalsfontein farm allow for deep root growth and a larger natural canopy.
