In winemaking they follow in the footsteps of Henri Jayer and focus first on their vineyards and hand harvest, de-stem, and cold soak before a natural fermentation with wild yeasts. The wines are excellent, complex, and terroir-driven.

Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2021
$875.00Add to cartThis is an iconic wine, a true standout that spent seven seasons in barrel before release. It should be cellared patiently, unless of course you want to get both and try one now to gauge how long you should lock it away before opening the next bottle.The site’s particular terroir—a few inches of pebble-strewn topsoil above solid limestone rock—yields a wine of unfathomable mineral intensity, with rugged spices and a profound sense of earth framing its flinty, smoke-tinged core. -

La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2015
$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.

Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2021
$145.00Add to cartAccording to importer Kermit Lynch, “One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe.” The Brunier family has farmed the La Crau plateau for over a hundred years to make their iconic grenache forward wines.
The wines of Vieux Telegraphe are classic, displaying strength, rusticity, earthiness, and tremendous longevity like a great Chateauneuf should. The blend of old-vine fruit from La Crau, imparts incredible depth, concentration, and fresh minerality. Their goal, which they uniformly achieve, is to find a harmony between aromatic complexity, tannic structure, and richness. A stupendous wine.
