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.

Chateau Lynch-Bages Blanc de Lynch-Bages, Bordeaux, 2020
$120.00Add to cartWe came late to this and could only grab 2 bottles but the reviews for this wine are stellar across the internet. We suspect this will be gone before anyone gets a chance read this but here’s what we can tell you. 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. 1990 was the first vintage this wine was produced and the 2020 is the first vintage with new equipment to more precisely control oxygen levels and temperatures. Fermented in oak (50% new) and aged on the lees for 6 months the Lynch Bages Blanc is one of the most rewarding drinking experiences in white wine.

Chateau Talbot Saint Julien 2010
$205.00Add to cart -
Chateau Talbot Saint Julien 2020
$99.00Add to cartChateau Talbot is a 4th Cru Classé in Saint-Julien and is one of the Médoc’s most emblematic names. It’s one of the Medoc’s oldest estates, and through the years has been fortunate enough to remain in good hands. The current owners are the fourth generation of the same family managing Talbot.
The soils are well raised and gravelly producing classic Bordeaux aromas all in a balanced package. It’s lively and framed by a sensational texture and a lingering finish. Aromas of plum confit, crème de cassis, tobacco, licorice, and roasted herbs mingle with a woody, charcuterie-like savory note that will only deepen with age.

Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2010
$96.00Add to cartThis is a fascinating wine. Most people’s conception of Chablis is that it should be drunk young, preferably with oysters, but this wine provides an aged counter-point. It has a nutty and almost sherry-like nose that you would think is prematurely oxidized, but the palate is so fresh it’s like sucking on an electric lemon.
-
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 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 Cheveau Pouilly Fuisse Hameau 2022

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 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.
