Size750MLVintage2019SKU24092
Fresh and pretty notes of citrus, some lime, wet stone minerality, but also some nutty, buttery more old-school Meursault flavors. ItMarie Courtin Champagne Concordance
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2013SKU25215
Apricot, orange peel, chamomile, smoke and a host of yellow orchard fruit flavors give this Pinot Noir character. Today, the Concordance is brooding and tightly coiled.Marie Courtin Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2015SKU29219
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 Galloni
Chateau Guiraud Sauternes
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - WHITE - SAUTERNES
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7956
Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked apple. Full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. 97pts Wine Spectator (2005)Faiveley Chassagne-Montrachet AC
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2020SKU28737
This 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc exhibits notes of pear, mandarin orange, buttered toast and beeswax, followed by a medium-bodied, lively palate that displays good concentration and cut. Impressively long and saline, this has turned out very nicely.Domaine Virgile Lignier-Michelot Morey St. Denis Chenevery 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU17648
A highly attractive nose combines notes of both red and black cherry with lovely violet and spice nuances. There is excellent volume and a sophisticated mouth feel to the silky weight flavors where the sophistication is enhanced by the impressively fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a firm but fine finish. Outstanding. 91-93pts Allen Meadows-Burghound (2011)Marie Courtin Champenois Blanc du Tremble
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2019SKU29222
Rich and ample on the palate, with terrific freshness and verve, the Resonance is another gorgeous and deeply expressive Champagne from Dominique Moreau. The orchard fruit, crushed stone and floral notes are beautifully focused throughout. The saline-drenched finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. 92pts Antonio GalloniChateau Gruaud Larose Saint Julien
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT JULIEN
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28360
Deep purple, with beautiful cassis and darker raspberry fruits as well as spice, dried flowers, and cedary incense notes, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness carrying plenty of sweet tannins, a deep, concentrated mid-palate, and beautiful length.Moillard Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Craipillot
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2019SKU21698
Craipillot often gives sharp, very fruity wines with aromas of licorice and violet. Less structured than other 1er Crus, it however has the power and a lot of finesse. It is a complex and balanced wine with delicate and persistent final.Domaine Meo Camuzet Chambolle-Musigny
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2011SKU20464
Medium red. Somewhat diffuse red fruit aromas, along with scents of menthol, licorice and minerals. A reticent, slightly shy midweight, this premier cru shows a bit more mid-palate sweetness to support its youthfully though ripe tannins. A solid Pinot with limitless upside potential.Domaine Armand Heitz Pommard 1er Cru "Les Rugiens
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2019SKU24143
During a Pommard dinner. Light ruby,m purplish hue even. Very young and more on the concentrated red and dark fruit than the Clos de Poutures. Very dense palate, remains elegant and light. Competent wine making here. Once the aromas, that are extremely primary now still, develop further, this will be a great Pommard.Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose Vintage

This is the first ever Brut Rose Vintage released by Billecart-Salmon. Instantly identifiable as a Billecart-Salmon RosChateau Leoville Poyferre Saint Julien
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT JULIEN
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28365
A rich and highly charged Poyferre, with creamy damson and vanilla pod spice expanding through the mid palate. Hugely impressive, with velvety tannins and plenty of charcoal, grilled sarments and slate impact. Higher tension through the core would take the score up even further. 96pts DecanterMarie Courtin Champagne Allegeance Rose
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintage2013SKU27104
Highly vinous, a little hollow on the midpalate but makes up for it with lovely tension and freshness. Macerated strawberries and balsamic, with laser focused acidity. Lovers of Cedric BouchardDomaine La Barroche Chateauneuf-du-Pape Signature
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size1.5LVintage2019SKU28697
Lavender pastis and warm stone notes liberally infuse a core of steeped cherry and plum paste flavors in this red with everything knitting steadily through the finish which features an encore of grippy mouth-coating fruit. Textbook gutsy-edged Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Grenache Syrah and Mourvedre. 94pts Wine SpectatorDomaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pruliers
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2012SKU20212
Good bright, dark red. Discreet, pure, rather reticent nose offers red cherry and raspberry. Juicy, minerally and a bit youthfully imploded, offering terrific density and lift to the flavors of raspberry, strawberry and minerals. Lifted by a distinctly floral character I did not find in the last couple of samples. Solid and densely packed but juicy and light on its feet, finishing with serious but fine tannins and a saline touch. A superb showing today. Vinous-91/94Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanee 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2011SKU19931
There is impressive richness to the broad-shouldered yet refined and elegant medium-bodied flavors that brim with plenty of palate coating dry extract. Despite the succulence of the mid-palate there is excellent delineation on the citrus-infused, intense and moderately dry finish. 92pts Allen Meadows - Burghound (2011) Sweet spot OutstandingDomaine Meo Camuzet Vosne Romanee
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2012SKU20471
An exuberantly spicy nose is composed primarily of ripe black pinot fruit and violet aromas. There is a refined mouth feel to the middle weight flavors that are supported by ripe and fine tannins before culminating in a linear and tight but balanced finish that delivers excellent depth and length. This is better than it usually is as there is more underlying material. Note that this lovely effort should be approachable young. Burghound-92Jacquart Brut Mosaic
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size1.5LVintageNVSKU28835
Aromas of fresh pear, fig and almond, with hints of orange flower. A light swirl of the glass brings out richer notes of honey and freshly baked bread. Fresh and supple. Full, with a long fruity finish
S.A. Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage2002SKU9535
The Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie is a sensational wine, all at once medium-bodied, penetrating, as well as super-rich. Balanced, concentrated, and intense, with layers of earth, apples, figs, white peaches, and minerals are found in this magnificent sweet wine's flavor profile and stupendous length. 94 pts Wine Spectator
Domaine Albert Boxler Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Vendanges Tardive
Size750MLVintage2004SKU13863
Smells of peaches and apricots, butter cream and vanilla. Overtly creamy, silken, and rich on the palate, but possessed as well of a distinctive sense of underlying stony mineral density, it scarcely betrays its 60 grams of residual sugar. Peach, apricot kernel, nut oils, and vanilla, salt and stone linger with amazing persistence. 94pts Wine Advocate (2004)Domaine Jacques Prieur Beaune Champs Pimont Rouge
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2020SKU25023
This is quite ripe as there are liqueur-like aromas of red and dark cherry, plum and subtle spice nuances. Here there is excellent volume and mid-palate concentration and more mineral inflected flavors that possess fine persistence. This could easily be enjoyed on the younger side.Domaine du Cellier aux Moines Givry 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - OTHER
Size1.5LVintage2019SKU29678
The wine offers up lovely aromas of ripe red cherries, candied peel and flowers, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, juicy and initially expansive, but it's still tight-knit at the core. The purity of its expression of fruit is impressive.Dujac Fils et Pere Chambolle-Musigny
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Size750MLVintage2008SKU18519
Noticeably reduction. The flavors however are very Chambolle with lacy and minerally middle weight flavors that possess lovely balance and length. A fine villages and worth a look. BurghoundDujac Fils et Pere Chambolle-Musigny

Dark berry fruit aromas with earthy undertones leads to well concentrated flavors that offer an appealing sweetness on the round, delicious and long finish supported by ripe and firm tannins. This is a relatively masculine Chambolle villages. Burghound
