Chateau Bardins Pessac Leognan 2018
$54.00Add to cartA Bordeaux with soul. The Château Bardins is both supple and tense, with a velvety Merlot robe pulled snugly over a chiseled structure. It has tannins, but they aren’t mean, it’ll get even better with age. It’s a wine that ultimately is straightforward and enjoyable, but has depth of character and flavor.

Chateau Beausejour Puisseguin Saint-Emilion Cuvee Speciale 2022
$36.00Add to cartThe Dupuy family has been in Puisseguin since the Middle Ages. Marceau Dupuy, a doctor and politician, bought Chateau Beauséjour in 1934. It is still 40 acres of vineyard planted mostly with Merlot and a bit of Cabernet Franc on the clay and limestone terrain of Saint Emilion. This wine is opulent and has beautiful Bordeaux flavors for a great price.

Chateau de Chaintres Saumur Champigny Vieilles Vignes 2020
$31.00Add to cartWe love the Loire, it’s the garden of France, and the wines almost across the board retain a beautiful earthiness. While the Tigny family has owned this 17th century chateau since the 1930s it was the addition of cellar master Jean-Philippe Louis that they really stepped up their game, converting the estate to biodynamics, hand picking, and allowing for spontaneous fermentation.
The vines that plunge the deepest into the tuffeau soils of the vineyards range from 50 to 80 years of age. Despite the concentration and structure a sense of freshness permeates this wine—making it “très digeste”. Graceful tannins and an assertive underlying minerality contribute a salty-savory edge to the fruit.

$250.00Add to cartThis wine is in its prime drinking window. Now is the time to discover why we love Bordeaux with a bit of age.

Chateau Haut Brion Premier Grand Cru Classe Pessac Loegnan 2018
$890.00Add to cartHaut Brion has been revered for centuries as one of the world’s greatest wines. Favored by kings, presidents (Thomas Jefferson was a noted fan), and the upper echelons of the wine industry, it hasn’t lost a step. This is a complex, deeply layered wine that will continue to get better for the next few decades (if not longer).

Chateau Haut-Segottes Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2020
$45.00Add to cartMme. Meunier, “vigneronne extraordinaire”, is the fourth generation of her family to oversee this estate situated in the heart of the Saint Emilion appellation. Her dedication to her vineyards enables Madame Meunier’s Haut Ségottes to produce exceptional quality year-in and year-out.

Chateau La Rame Cadillac Rouge La Charmille 2018
$30.00Add to cartChâteau La Rame is among the oldest and most renowned properties in the Sainte Croix du Mont appellation on a hill overlooking the Garonne river. For over a hundred years La Rame has been lauded for the quality of its wine, and today it stands as a testament to the value that can still be found in Bordeaux, even in a time when so many other regions are getting inordinately expensive.

Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru 2022
$299.00Add to cartA monopole from a fantastic producer. This Pommard is a gem of the Cote de Beaune. While it’s young, there is complexity already. It has ripe fruit and enough earthy spice that this is going to mature into a beautiful wine.
-
Coutale Clos La Cahors 2022
$23.00Add to cartThis is not the Malbec you probably know. You may not know that until it was popularized by the Argentinians, no one really knew the grape, and in fact most of the vines in Cahors, France were being ripped out. But as its international fame grew a few producers took a look at what they had and decided they could sell make wine with these grapes. We are thankful because this is a delicious, earthier expression that we really enjoy.

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.
-
Domaine Alary l’Estevenas Cairanne 2022
$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 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 Collotte, Marsannay Les Boivins, 2021
$45.00Add to cartPhilippe Collotte is a tall but unassuming man who has quietly made stunning wines for the last two decades in Marsannay that are a steal at this price point.
-
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. It’s sought by collectors and investors and when a bottle is opened those crowded around are in awe. This bottle has perfect provenance and has been immaculately cellared.
-
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 Faiveley Nuits Saint Georges Les Montroziers 2022
