André Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Le Coteau de l’Epinet 2014 Magnum

Pale yellow-gold color. Very ripe aromas of peach, apricot and smoky minerality are a bit more dynamic than those of the Prêtres de Quintaine. Unctuous on entry, then tighter in the middle palate, with very ripe stone fruit flavors accented by spicy oak. This thick but energetic wine shows a distinctly creamy quality for the vintage. Finishes with slowly mounting length and

considerable power. This mid-slope climat on red clay soil with small stones in the extreme north of the … more

André Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Les Hauts des Ménards 2014 Magnum

Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse Les Hauts des Menards comes from an old parcel planted 85 years ago. The shallow clay-limestone of this fairly steep slope has a large proportion of red clay. Fermentation and maturation take place in oak casks over 24 months before bottling. The wine is naturally rich with a beautiful structure balanced by a refreshing minerality which also contributes to its satisfying length.

Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Tete de Clos 2017

Outstanding! 90-93 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

'Soft wood frames the ultra-floral-suffused nose of pear liqueur, petrol and white and yellow orchard fruit. The impressively-scaled and lavishly rich big-bodied flavors possess evident muscle and power that really comes up on the bone dry and citrus-tinged finish that is so tightly coiled as to be somewhat strict. This will definitely require at least some patience and will need most of a decade to be at its best.' … more

Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin 2017 375ml

Note: 50% from Les Seuvrées with the remainder from Billard, Fourneaux and La Justice

'Here the nose is very Gevrey in character with its earthy forest floor and humus nuances on the red and dark pinot fruit aromas. The vibrant, rich and delicious flavors possess a lovely sense of vibrancy though the firm and ever-so-slightly bitter finish comes up a bit short. This may very well harmonize as the tannins do seem ripe.' 87-89 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2017

'The 2017 Pommard Village, which comes from Les Cras and Vaumuriens, had not been racked, unlike the Volnay Village. It has a vivid, floral bouquet that conveys impressive vibrancy. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of juicy ripe dark cherry fruit mixed with boysenberries, almost Volnay-like in its roundness and silky texture. This will be irresistible in its youth.' 88-90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous January 2019

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2018

With both this cuvée and the wonderful Les Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2018 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards that lie on the Volnay side of the village. In terms of power, Pommard brought the thunder in 2018, although Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brought excellent balance to the blend. This was crafted from 100% de-stemmed berries … more

Benjamin Leroux Puligny-Montrachet 2018

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village is very textural with a crisp, fresh grapefruit and lemongrass quality and a fine bead of acidity. This, together with the natural generosity of the year, makes for a wining combination! Leroux's decision to pick this first among all his vineyards pays dividends. Always an outstanding example of the village since Leroux's first release in 2007, this year is no exception. The fruit comes from Corvée des Vignes, Les Reuchaux and Les Levrons-a grouping of vineyards … more

Benjamin Leroux Volnay 2017 375ml

Note: from Grands Champs and the 1er La Gigotte.

'Super-fresh and perfumed aromas of red and dark berries, earth and a whiff of spice lead to sleek, well-delineated and punchy middle weight flavors that possess just a bit better depth on the ever-so-mildly austere finale that evidences a mineral character. This is a quality Volnay villages and worth checking out.' 89 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benoit Ente Bourgogne Chardonnay Golden Jubilee 2016

Benoit's notes - "In 1990, my aunt and I took over my grandparents’ plots. We sold all of our harvests to a négociant until 1997, and then went our own ways. For 16 years, I managed about 3 hectares and in 2013, my aunt stopped working and gave me the possibility of working on her vines as well."

The Golden Jubilee is from a single plot of vines planted in 1963.

Blain-Gagnard Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2013 375ml

"In 2013 this is indisputably more elegant than the Criots with its aromas of lemon grass, spiced pear, exotic tea and acacia blossom scents. There is a lush but vibrant mouth feel to the broad-shouldered, intense and muscular flavors that retain a lovely sense of refinement on the impressively persistent and well-balanced finish. In contrast to the more accessible aspect of the Criots this is more tightly constructed and will need at least several years of bottle age first." - … more
