Leflaive & Associes Puligny Montrachet 2022
$299.00Add to cartA value from Puligny-Montrachet that bears the stamp of approval from the Leflaive team. What could be better than a wine from what has been called “the greatest white-wine commune on earth.” Think straight as a razor minerality and ripe fruit. Think lemon curd and white peach wrapped in a rich mineral sheath. Beautiful stuff.
-

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998
$109.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. While this 1998 also happened to come from a classic year with 1/5th of the grapes being affected by botrytis, there’s no heaviness to this wine. It was has lovely notes of dried fruits that balance with the lingering sweetness—and lucky us, it’s in the perfect drinking window.
-
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2002
$99.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. This 2002 has recently emerged from an awkward adolescence to become an amazing wine. It’s balanced with the fresh fruit having faded to dry and the acidity and sweetness that were competing have harmonized.
-
Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023
$90.00Add to cartPatrick Piuze, originally of Montreal (not all winemakers working in France are French), worked for some of the greats like Leflaive, Jean-Marc Brocard and Jean-Marie Guffens before starting his own label in 2008. It may be from Guffens that he picked up some of his iconoclastic ways like hand picking his sourced fruit and fermenting the wines spontaneously. The Montmains fruit comes from all three subclimates of Montmains: Butteaux, Forets, and Montmains. He gets fruit from a half a hectare and this wine tends to be the most austere of the three as there is very little topsoil and the vines grow right on the bedrock.

Yves Cuilleron Viognier Les Vignes d’a Cote 2022
$33.00Add to cartThe Viognier Vignes d’à Coté, meaning “nearby vines” is from a sustainable vineyard close to the Condrieu appellation. This 100% Viognier is aromatic and is further intensified a few months in oak.
This is an excellent introduction to Viognier with the tell-tale aromas of apricot, nectarine and floral honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is fleshy and ripe, with excellent acidity. Simply put this is a delicious, mouth-watering Viognier from one of the top producers in the Rhone.
-
Yves Leccia E Croce 2023
$57.00Add to cartThe wines of Yves Leccia (and reportedly the man himself) have presence. Importers Kermit Lynch liken him to the “Rolls-Royce” of Corsican wines, a moniker that is richly deserved. He has been working the single top terroir of Patrimonio, “E Croce,” a site on a thin chalk soil above a thick bedrock of pure schist since 2004. The wines are elegant, and worth exploring.
