La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2019
$90.00Add to cartThis is the Medoc’s smallest village, and while it has no first growths it has the highest amount of classified estates in the Medoc. The gravels are less deep that Pauillac so are less hefty but still grace. This expression is from one of the oldest estates and has all the delightful notes of the region: cedar, violets, graphite and will definitely benefit from some aging, so this 2015 is just entering its ideal drinking window.

Michel Gahier Arbois Lou Blanc 2022
$51.00Add to cartMichael Gahier learned his craft from the one of the best Jura producers, the legendary Jacques Puffeney.
“Lou” is a relatively new cuvée for Michel, from 45-year-old Chardonnay vines in Montigny-lès-Arsures It spends two years in demi-muids and is kept topped up in traditional Jura Ouille-style, but “Lou” displays more fruit-driven heft and lurking mineral power.

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998
$109.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. While this 1998 also happened to come from a classic year with 1/5th of the grapes being affected by botrytis, there’s no heaviness to this wine. It was has lovely notes of dried fruits that balance with the lingering sweetness—and lucky us, it’s in the perfect drinking window.
-
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2002
$99.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. This 2002 has recently emerged from an awkward adolescence to become an amazing wine. It’s balanced with the fresh fruit having faded to dry and the acidity and sweetness that were competing have harmonized.

Mousse Fils Champagne Brut Blanc De Noirs L’Or d’Eugene NV

Nature’s Revenge Pet Nat Rose 2023
$22.00Add to cartEverything about this wine is fun. The color screams “drink me, I’m fresh,” the mixed media label is as colorful as the flavors, and the bottle cap closure lets you know it’s a little fizzy. A delightful summer sparkler.

Philippe Jouan Coteaux Bourguignons Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes 2022
$55.00Add to cartThis is the weeknight Burgundy of our dreams from a tiny producer in Morey-St.-Denis. This has everything you need and is a relative value. There’s a beautiful interplay of sweet berry fruit and tart rhubarb that sit on an earthy forest floor in the flavor profile—this is a producer who’s wines will go up in price, so get in while you can!
Olivia’s Notes:
-fruit seemed less precise here. balsamic strawberry (maybe even soy?), small Maine blueberries came to mind.
-barnyard-y minerality
-
Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 2014
$486.00Add to cartThe vines (mostly Pinot Noir) cling to the challenging “Goisses” (dialect for steep slope). The wine is equally dramatic, laden with golden fruit highlighted by toasty, chalky & redcurrent notes. Perhaps the ultimate food pairing wine, think high cuisine: game, truffles & Lobster Thermidor. Or enjoy with popcorn & a season finale.
