Marie Courtin Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2014SKU25212
Bright and sculpted to the core, the 2013 exudes energy. Chalk, mint, jasmine and orchard fruit add complexity, but it is the wine's overall balance that is most impressive. The Efflorescence offers striking translucence and energy from start to finish. The non-dose style is especially successful here. 94pts Antonio GalloniMoillard Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrieres
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2019SKU29603
Aromas of raspberry confiture and cranberry jelly are accented by granite and tobacco in this exuberantly youthful, fruit-forward red. Intensely ripe yet pristine in blackberry and cherry flavors, it's a silky, thirst-quenching wine with fine-grained, silky tannins. Approachable now, it should hold well through 2030.Domaine Henri Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2020SKU30084
A subtle nose hints at iris blossom and dark, brooding but fresh fruit. Beautifully herbal aromatics hover in the background. The palate then combines the sumptuous ripeness in its generous, almost lush texture with exquisite, pervasive freshness. This unfurls like glossy velvet and lingers long with its fresh, tart but ripe heart of cherry.
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose
Size750MLVintageNVSKU4039
The NV Brut Rose emerges from the glass with the essence of freshly cut flowers, berries and minerals in a mid-weight, gracious style. It shows gorgeous inner perfume, along with persistent notes of chalkiness that frame the long, sublime finish.Domaine Faiveley Vosne Romanee
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2020SKU20626
The nose is offering pure red and dark berry fruit, nice spicyness and quite earthy minerality. The finish is quite persistant with slight tannins in the finish. Need time to unfold but the vintage with its abundant fruit really suits this wine.Domaine Ruinart Rose Brut
Size750MLVintageNVSKU28142
This offers all the trim sleekness of a well-built racing sailboat, while the flavors unfurl on the palate like a full spinnaker sail. Macerated raspberry and poached apricot fruit is underscored by smoke and toast notes, and pleasing hints of crystallized honey, tangerine zest and dried thyme echo on the mouthwatering finish.Hugel Pinot Gris Grossi Laue
Size750MLVintage2013SKU26070
The merest suggestion of ripe apricot beckons through an aromatic layer of dried lemon zest. The bone-dry palate then proceeds to push both these polesChateau Cantenac Brown Margaux
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - OTHER
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28348
A ton of tightly packed black fruits are right there on the attack of this wine, along with enticing aromatic power. It's a well-muscled Cantenac Brown with a sleek, carefully controlled tannic hold alongside liquorice and black chocolate notes - good stuff. New owner at this property as of 2019, Tristan Le Lous. 60% new oak, with 51% of overall production in the first wine. 96pts Decanter
Chateau Guiraud Sauternes
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - WHITE - SAUTERNES
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16535
Wine Spectator #5 of 2012. 96 POINTS! This is a bird of a different feather, with an exotic, vibrant aroma of toasted coconut, followed by an almond cream note that gives way to the core of green fig, papaya, Cavaillon melon and honey. There's stunning richness and mouthfeel, with the power to be one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage. Very impressive. Best from 2015 through 2040. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 11,000 cases made. JMDenis Carre Meursault Blanc Les Tillets
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - MEURSAULT
Size750MLVintage2021SKU15808
This is also quite reduced but displays almost no wood influence. There is superb detail to the intensely mineral-driven and lacy middle weight flavors that offer crystalline pure before culminating in a balanced and markedly saline finish. This ultra-fine effort is textbook Tillets and absolutely recommended. Outstanding!Domaine Aegerter Gevrey-Chambertin
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2017SKU28441
This has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with hints of violet petals and dried quince infusing the red fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with a very pure opening. This is very expressive and beautifully balanced with real minerality towards the finish. Feminine and endearing, this is a lovely Gevrey-Chambertin.Domaine Aegerter Nuit Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Chaboeufs
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2018SKU28442
As it should be, this is much more obviously Nuits in character as there is a distinct gaminess to the earthy red and blue fruit nose where this sauvage quality can also be found on the rich, full and quite serious flavors that possess more prominent supporting tannins on the intense and mildly rustic finish.Domaine Christophe Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHABLIS
Size750MLVintage2022SKU30381
The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is also rather rich and textural this year, mingling notes of sweet orchard fruit and confit orange with notions of toasted nuts and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish, I'd expect this to take on more cut and tension by the time it's bottled.Domaine JM Pillot Puligny-Montrachet Le Noyers Brets
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2020SKU26095
Pretty aromas are composed by notes of petrol, acacia blossom and various white-fleshed fruit. The is a notably finer mouth feel to the delicious and caressing middle weight flavors that tighten up on the focused and agreeably tension-filled finish.Marie Courtin Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2016SKU29493
Bright yellow. Complex bouquet of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, redcurrant, fresh flowers and smoky minerals. Dry, penetrating and sharply focused, offering concentrated blood orange and bitter pear skin flavors underscored by a smoky mineral quality.Marie Courtin Champagne Eloquence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2013SKU25213
Tension and energy are the signatures of the 2013 Extra Brut Eloquence. The expression of Chardonnay takes on Chablis-like dimensions, with bright, saline-infused underpinnings that give the wine its shape and overall personality 93pts Antonio GalloniTaittinger Brut Prestige Rose
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintageNVSKU30518
Highly fragrant nose of toast, light cherry blossom, chalk and nice development. Fine mousse, quite multilayered and a textural palate. Blend : 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier.95pts DecanterVincent Latour Meursault Cuvee St. Jean
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2020SKU24796
Fine, fresh, pale colour, there is a touch of gunflint on the nose. It has perfect balance on the palate, with very good tension, a heavenly density of fruit, no sign of any heat and a brilliant long finish. Stupid good!Laurent Perrier Brut Rose
Size750MLVintageNVSKU24581
Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose Non-Vintage Champagne. Orange-rose color the nose shows dried cherries with a touch of earth. Medium bodied with lots of juicy strawberry fruit, toast, smoke and white pepper on the finish.Domaine Henri Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2020SKU30085
Unfurling in the glass with notions of cherries, red berries, cassis,loamy soil and peonies, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier ismedium to full-bodied, velvety and nicely concentrated, with meltingtannins and a long, saline finish.Domaine Bouzereau-Gruere Meursault "Tillets

There is superb detail to the intensely mineral-driven and lacy middle weight flavors that offer crystalline pure before culminating in a balanced and markedly saline finish. This ultra-fine effort is textbook Meursaults and absolutely recommended. Outstanding!Domaine de Beaurenard Chateauneuf-du-Pape
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2020SKU25907
This Chateauneuf-du-Pape is no slouch, with ample richness, bold cherry and apricot fruit and attractive hints of dried spices and garrigue. Complex, full-bodied and supple, it finishes long and silky. It's two-thirds Grenache Noir, with the rest composed of the 17 other permitted grape varieties. 93pts Wine AdvocateDomaine Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis Faconnieres 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU17647
A discreet application of oak frames wonderfully complex aromas of cassis, black cherry and spice hints. There is an abundance of the hallmark minerality to the solidly well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating dry extract on the finish that displays a hint of acid tang.
Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2017SKU16341
Ripe and brambly raspberry, blueberry and cassis aromas with a strong thread of wild herbs. The shape is refined and taut through the palate. Some airy, fleshy lightness here with plush, fine and dense tannins. Finishes fresh with red fruit. Great grenache in 2017. 93pts James SucklingDomaine Lignier-Michelot Fixin 1er Cru Arvelet
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2019SKU29148
This has quite a feisty bouquet: dark berry fruit, marmalade and quince, maybe just a slight hint of VA. The palate is more controlled and conveys the opulence of Fixin, adorned with bright blue fruit, delivered with style and panache.
