2015 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Corton Rognet Grand Cru
$230.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The brooding and inexpressive nose is distinctively sauvage-inflected on the earthy and softly spiced red and dark cherry-scented aromas. There is fine richness to the textured and unusually refined middle weight plus flavors that also possess evident muscularity on the stony, intense and beautifully complex finish. Excellent quality here and this is a classic Corton that should age effortlessly for years to come. -
2017 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru ‘Grand Maupertuis’
$448.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ There is a bit more overall oak influence to the cooler and more restrained combination of red and dark berries with similar floral and earth nuances. The bigger difference lies in the tighter and denser medium weight plus flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured, more complex, more structured and more austere finale. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Corton Grand Cru ‘Le Rognet et Corton’
$154.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Dense bright purple, very lively, good weight here, a certain sucrosity, ripe fruit covers the tannins and the stems until the very end. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Pommard 1er Cru ‘Les Epenots’

2017 Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée ‘Aux Réas’
$144.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Here too there is just enough reduction to mask the fruit but not the underlying spice nuances. The caressing, velvety and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess fine volume plus solid depth and persistence on the balanced finish. This very good effort is very Vosne in style. -
2017 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Nuit-Saint-Georges ‘Aux Murgers’
$251.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 ~ Aromas of cassis, dark berries, grilled game and smoky new oak introduce the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, a medium-bodied wine that's satiny, layered and fine-boned, displaying unusually suave structure at this early stage and concluding with a sneakily intense finish despite its elegantly middle-weight profile. This is shaping up to be a precocious Méo Murgers that will drink well with just a few years' bottle age. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Pommard ‘Vieilles Vignes’
$90.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This is a lovely vibrant style, with strikingly fresh redcurrant fruit aromas. It has a pleasing line of finesse and elegance more often associated with Volnay. It nevertheless has a delicious central core of Pommard fruit and depth. The final sensation is one of depth and great charm. -
2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay ‘Vieilles Vignes’
$88.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ An attractive bouquet of mulberry and raspberry aromas, quite refined in style and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm, almost Pommard-like tannins. This is a masculine Volnay, broody at the moment, but it will open up nicely with time in bottle, so don’t be afraid to stick it in the cellar for four or five years. -
2016 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny ‘Dèrriere Le Four’
$98.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 90 ~ Aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and plums mingling with nuances of mint, rose petal and dark chocolate in a complex bouquet introduce the 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière la Four, a medium to full-bodied wine that's fleshy, layered and unusually concentrated, retaining excellent balance despite its especially broad-shouldered profile this year. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Narbantons’
$66.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ One sniff is all it takes to know it is premier cru Burgundy. Subtle and restrained from the purity of the limestone soils, it also burns bright with red berries and soft tannins. -

$100.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This sports both red and dark berry fruit on the nose with a savory note coming through as well as a violet note.

2017 Occidental ‘Occidental Station Vineyard’ Pinot Noir
$105.00Add to cartJeb Dunnick 96 ~ Coming from a more inland vineyard that’s one of the first to be harvested, the 2017 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard sports a deeper ruby/purple color as well as a tighter yet intense style carrying lots of almost blue fruits, violets, peppery spice, and spring flowers. Despite showing ample power and richness, it has a vivid spine of acidity, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish, all pointing to a solid decade or more of prime drinking. I think it will show every more complexity with a year or two of bottle age. -
2017 Mathias Parent Vosne-Romanée
$103.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ The nose here features hints of floral notes that give way to bursting red fruits and Asian spices. The fruit and exotic spice notes stack up on the palate over an earthy/mineral note that gives both complexity and underlying tension. The texture turns spherical on the long, red fruit-driven finish that just goes on and on- such a full expression in a sophisticated package. -
2018 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Serpentières’
$72.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ Pretty bouquet of red cherries, plums and strawberries mingled with spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it's nicely concentrated, its ample chassis of satiny tannin largely concealed, concluding with fine persistence. -
2017 Thibault Liger-Belair Bourgogne ‘Les Grands Chaillots’
$42.00Add to cartTasting Notes ~ This wine has a fresh bouquet of bright red fruit mixed with light violet scents; indeed, a little Chambolle-like in style. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry with blood orange fusing with red cherry/kirsch notes with good delineation on the finish. -

$100.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 90 ~ Aromas of plum raspberry dark chocolate and spices preface the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Groseilles a medium to full-bodied wine with a fleshy gourmand core of fruit that's framed by ripe velvety tannins and succulent acids. This is a pretty charming Groseilles that will deliver pleasure with minimal bottle age but hold for the better part of two decades in a good cellar. -

Drink across the next decade. -

$56.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 95 ~ Subdued red-fruit aromas meet with a slightly gamy and funky kick of sizzling pork skin on the nose of this bottling, one of the first releases from Peter Hunken and Amy Christine's estate vineyard.

2014 Wayfarer ‘Golden Mean’ Pinot Noir
$120.00Add to cartWine Enthusiast 97 ~ Dark, brooding cinnamon and fleshy black plum provide an exciting, complex counterpoint to the rakish earthiness and exotic Asian spice going on in this full-bodied, explosively compelling wine, its minerality lingering.
