Delas-Freres Hermitage "Les Bessards" 2016 Magnum
"The 2016 Hermitage Les Bessards offers more violets and floral notions with hints of blue fruits (cassis blueberries) full-bodied richness and building sweet polished tannin. It's another ripe opulent 2016 that's going to drink nicely in its youth yet age gracefully given its purity and balance. While a step back from the otherworldly 2015 this brilliant wine is one of the gems in the vintage.94-97 points" - Jeb Dunnuck

Jean-Marie Fourrier Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018
Negociant Wine.... "Jean-Marie Fourrier has slowly started branching out with his eponymous négociant operation that be began in 2011 with three wines. In 2013 and 2014 he expanded the range of offerings considerably though with several key principles in mind. He explained to me that "first, I only buy fruit and make the wines from appellations that I don't have under the domaine's umbrella. Second, I only buy fruit from domaines who make their own wines from those same grapes … more

Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2019
The Vieilles Vignes comes from a selection of the oldest vines in the Clos, mostly planted in 1910 and situated mid-slope, right in the heart of the vineyard. A minimum 70 years of age is the threshold here, and over a third of the domaine's holdings qualify. These ancient vines yield only two to three tiny bunches of grapes per vine in a good year. The net result is a Clos de Vougeot of unique intensity, breadth of flavour, complexity … more

Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015
Like the rest of the 2015 Lignier-Michelot lineup, the Clos de la Roche combines beautiful soaring aromatics with beautiful pure fruit, and a savory sense of earthiness. The nose is explosively perfumed with beguiling aromas of ripe black cherry, red plum, violets, exotic spices, and roasted game. Supple palate shows impressive concentration, with dark fruit flavors, and layers of minerality on a long, driving finish. This has a all the elements to age effortlessly and should reward 10-15 years in … more

Château d'Yquem Sauternes 1er cru Classé 2007 375ml
Due to poor weather during much of the growing season, this vintage should, by all rights, be best forgotten. And it is true that summer temperatures were cool, there were 100 mm of precipitation in August, ripening was very uneven, there were burst berries, etc. However, a miraculous and radical change in the weather propitious to botrytis turned what started out as a handicap to a decisive advantage. In fact, the variety and complexity of grapes brought in at different … more

Domaine Hubert Lignier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018
"This is also quite aromatically restrained that not quite as elegant as there is plenty of sauvage character on the forest floor and ripe dark berry fruit-suffused nose. The succulent, round and seductively textured medium-bodied flavours that aren't particularly dense, all wrapped in a dusty and slightly grippy finish. The balance isn't quite dialled in though it will probably improve somewhat over time as the tannins progressively mellow. 90-92 points" - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Réserve" 2016
A modern-day legend in the making is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve from Jean-Paul Daumen, This Grenache-dominated effort was brought up all in foudre and tastes like the essence of this incredible terroir located on the northern edge of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Winemaker Jean-Paul Duamen says that the very old vines, low yields and natural approach make the base of this wine, but it's in the microclimate of the north facing terroir of slopes that forges its character. Deeply purple, with aromatics recalling … more

Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2016 Magnum
"(the domaine is the largest holder in Suchots with an incredible 2.16 ha)
Moderate wood sets off an intensely floral and highly-spiced nose that exhibits aromas of dark cherry, cassis, plum and sandalwood. The blatantly powerful, concentrated and once again very serious large-scaled flavors possess volume on the gorgeously long, balanced and focused finish that is both austere and very clearly built-to-age. In a word, excellent." Outstanding, Drink 2031+ - Burgound, Issue #69

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019
The family owns 0.85Ha of vines on the grand cru, spread over two plots planted in 1958 and 1959.
"The 2019 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has a little more intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin, damp undergrowth, moss, light leafy aromas tincturing the mainly red fruit and developing more and more earthiness with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Taut and fresh with perhaps the most saline finish of all Romain Taupenot's cuvées this year, … more

Château d'Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé 2015 375ml
"Stunning and utterly captivating, the 2015 d'Yquem is shaping up to be one of the truly epic wines of the vintage. All the elements are impeccably balanced, starting with the most captivating, alluring bouquet imaginable. The 2015 floats on the palate with grace and total finesse. What I like most about the 2015 is its airy, nuanced personality. Sweet floral notes, lemon confit, chamomile and acacia are some of the nuances that linger in this hauntingly beautiful d'Yquem. The 2015 … more
