Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Le Clos Grand Cru, 2020
$125.00Add to cartThis is great Chablis. Still a tad young but starting to coalesce. Expect peak drinking around 2026-2035 (wow can’t believe I just wrote 2035!) Right now the minerality dominates and truncates what will certainly be a more fruit driven finish in the future.

Doyard Brut Blanc des Blancs Cuvee Vendemiare
$80.00Add to cartThis champagne is not quite like any other; it’s got its bubbly personality, but they are softer bubbles, more nuanced; the wine itself is luscious and gives you more than you might expect at first. The wine asks you to look at champagne differently with a different perspective and opens your eyes to the potential. – David

Doyard Clos de l’Abbaye 1er Cru Extra Brut 2018
$225.00Add to cartThe Doyard family traces their winemaking roots in Champagne back to 1677 but have been officially making wine under the Doyard label since 1927, and over the years, Yannick Doyard and his son Guillaume have become a beacon for precise, vinous, mineral-etched Champagne in the Côtes des Blancs. The domaine employs organic farming in the vines, with most of the vineyards worked by horse. This wine comes from a Vertus 1er cru and offers aromas of crisp stone fruits, pear, buttered toast, musky peach, and smoke. It’s precise and dry, having been disgorged this year with two grams per liter dosage after 48 months on the lees. It’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy, and precise, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, racy acids, and a long, chalky finish.

Francois Labet Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vielles Vignes 2022
$41.00Add to cartThis is a delicious example of a young Burgundy. It’s from a family that works some of the most esteemed vineyards in the region organically and focuses on purity of flavors in the bottle. Francois’s son Edouard has taken over winemaking in recent years and has lightened the wines a bit. The wine is supple, almost taut, but still has a generosity of flavors, especially bright red berries, which grow with exposure to air. Sweet earth and a little white pepper spice glide around the rich core of strawberries and raspberry fruit, all framed by well-integrated tannins that give it a firm but polite grip. This is a sophisticated wine that way over-delivers at its price point.
