Domaine Bitouzet Prieur Volnay 2021
$80.00Add to cartBen and I were fortunate enough to garner an invitation to taste with Mr. Bitouzet on his first trip to the United States despite having made fantastic (and popular) wines for decades. It was incredible to be able to taste the line-up with the producer and hear Neal Rosenthal tell stories about their relationship and the wines. What struck us, though, during the tasting was how much soul the wines have. There are other producers who make similar wines from similar parcels of land but these wines have a marked depth and are all absolutely worth tastings.

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault 2021
$99.00Add to cartBen and I were lucky enough to attend a tasting of the Bitouzet-Prieur portfolio with Neal Rosenthal who was hosting Vincent Bitouzet who was on his first trip to the US. Some special bottles were opened including a stellar birth year bottle directly from Neal’s cellar.
What we love about these wines is that they are so thoughtful. Wines to sit down with and really enjoy.

Les Corbins is located north of the village of Meursault on the way to Volnay, just underneath the premier cru Les Plures. The 3+ decade old vines come from family holdings and the grapes are aged for 16 months in 20% new barrels. Call it a textbook Meursault where intense minerality is combined with a subtle texture and buttercream note, and plenty of acid-driven tension as per the Bitouzet house style.

Domaine Cheveau Pouilly Fuisse Hameau 2022
$45.00Add to cartThese store favorite producers are Chardonnay specialists brought in by our friends over at Rosenthal. The Hameau is grown on clay and spends 14 months on the less to get texture. It’s rich and dense and mineral. We love it.

Domaine de la Quilla Muscadet 2022
$22.00Add to cartSince 1948 the Vinet family has been producing excellent wines and forty years ago they were on the forefront of exporting Muscadet to the American market. Since then they have only refined the delicious example of Melon de Bourgogne. These wines are excellent value and while they feel light and mineral they can actually be aged, but good luck not drinking it in the meantime!

Domaine de la Romanee Conti Richebourg 2020
$4,600.00Add to cartWhat can we say about this wine that hasn’t already been said? Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the most highly prized wine on earth.

Domaine de La Tour Penet, Macon Peronne Rouge 2023
$22.00Add to cartAn incredibly balanced Gamay from Burgund that still presents great value in a category where there isn’t often value. Coming from the higher slopes of the Mâconnais it’s juicy with great fruit while still retaining acidity.

Domaine des Marechaux Bordeaux Superieur 2020
$17.00Add to cart100% merlot made from 30 year old vines farmed at Europe’s highest level of sustainability. Aged in concrete vats. A really great way to learn what merlot should taste like.
This is a fresh take on Bordeaux – has all of the dark fruit you want out of Merlot and a touch of spice, without being overly oaked or tannic. Supple enough to drink on its own or to cut through fatty meats at the table. Definitely over delivers for the price point! – Ben

Domaine Eden Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$69.00Add to cartIn the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains Domaine Eden is growing some great fruit. While they produce Pinot and Chard the Cabernet is special with critics like Antonio Galloni saying, “This might very well be the best value in artisan, high-end California Cabernet.”
It’s full of dark fruits and is classic Santa Cruz with huge gobs of black fruit and herbs that aren’t over heavy. It will improve with age but is a delight now.

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Vielles Vignes 2022
$62.00Add to cartAn old vine Pinot from one of Burgundy’s most reliable producers. Faiveley is one of the largest producers in Burgundy, but don’t let that make you think their wines are sub-par. They take their experience and apply it to make terroir driven expressions of all their various holdings. Mercurey is on village on the Cote Chalonnaise which takes its name from the god Mercury (God of trade). The wine is concentrated and structured, aromatic, and full of deep red berries and a bit of vanilla.

Domaine Faiveley Nuits Saint Georges Les Montroziers 2022
$113.00Add to cartDomaine Faiveley is a juggernaut in Burgundy, but one who rarely disappoints. The wines are classically styled, ageable, and seek to express terroir. A solidly made wine all around.

Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc Breze
$145.00Add to cartOne of the most sought after producers in the Loire. The wines of Domaine Guiberteau are for those really in the know. The legendary Becky Wasserman has this to say about Guiberteau: Romain Guiberteau owns some of the best land in Brézé, and makes dry chenins of punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness.
This wine from Brézé is one of the peaks of Chenin Blanc. It’s incredibly dry with ripping texture and acid. It’s like watching a linebacker dance ballet.

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.
-
Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Vaudesir Grand Cru, 2017
