Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vielles Vignes 2021
$51.00Add to cartThis Chablis is a delight to drink. It’s everything we like in a young Chablis: crisp, elegant, textured, and possessing a hidden, stony depth that teases itself out across your palate. These wines can age if you have the patience and fortitude to not drink them.

Domaine Alain Voge Saint-Joseph Les Cotes 2021
$65.00Add to cartAlain is a legend in the Rhône. He rewrote the rule book on what great wines from southern France could be. Today led Alberic Mazoyer (who worked for Chapoutier) who still makes incredibly dense and layered wines using organic and biodynamic viticulture. This wine comes from a steep parcel of land in Mauves that has produced a delicious Syrah that has all the layers of fruit, spice, and flowers you could want.

$38.00Add to cartA very cool family run domaine with centuries of history. The Alary’s have actually been in the shop to pour, and we loved getting to meet them. Their organically made wines are delicious and really out drink their price point.

Domaine Alary L’Estevenas Cairanne Blanc 2022
$23.00Add to cartA very cool family run domaine with centuries of history. The Alary’s have actually been in the shop to pour, and we loved getting to meet them. Their organically made wines are delicious and really out drink their price point. This blend of Clairette and Roussanne is very expressive with a beautiful complexity, ripe white fruit such as (peaches, mirabelle plums) and delicate fragrance of white flowers such as acacia and lime appear as well as minerality.

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 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 des Roches Neuves :’Echelier Thiery Germain Saumur 2021
$98.00Add to cartFrom Thierry Germain, a stellar winemaker who takes his viticultural influence from his mentor Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard, comes this terroir focused Chenin that is razor-sharp and ready for drinking now but could just as easily age for a long time.

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.

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
