Brilliance in Burgundy:
2010 Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Santenots du Milieu & 2010 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs

For red Burgundy, the 2010 vintage is all about a marriage of terroir-saturated clarity and a weightless intensity. The wines have been captivating since day one, but the 2010s that I've recently tasted have been stunning.

"A ravishing beauty built for the cellar" -2023 Jamet Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune

If you love classic Côte-Rôtie, Jamet is the name to know. For decades, Jamet has been the benchmark for Côte-Rôtie.

Stein Pinot Noir Ultra-Light:
The Legend

Stein’s Pinot Noir “Red Light” has become an iconic bottling; it is a bright, red-fruited arrow, as sharp as the slate on which it is grown.

Chassagne Benchmark - Sharply Priced:
2024 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos De La Maltroie

The 2024 Clos de la Maltroie flaunts a lifted, high-toned citrus profile.  It is beautifully clear, with radiant layers of stone fruits, spice, and wet stone. The overall impression is one of refinement and mineral persistence.

Magical Kabinett:
2024 Keller Nierstein Riesling Kabinett

In Keller's hands, and in the 2024 vintage, the Nierstein is both suave and featherweight, intricately blending earthbound minerality and razor-cut precision.

Checking All The Boxes:
2023 Le Puy De L'Ours Savigny-Lès-Beaune Rouge Les Follettes

The 2023 Les Follettes has a wonderfully sculpted feel to it, combining beautiful fruit with earth and mineral.

Cult Northern Rhône, Part Two:
2023 Gonon Saint-Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers

The 2023 boasts a fascinating spectrum of citrus and orchard fruit, quince, smoke, honey, minerals, and flowers. While there’s great density and depth, it’s balanced by superb energy.

A Dream Brew:
2023 Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts

For the past decade, things have clicked into high gear at Bachelet-Monnot. Each vintage, the wines seem to go from strength to strength.

"One of the highlights of this range from Luca Roagna."
2020 Roagna Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

For the past few months, we've been beating the drum for Roagna's 2020s. The combination of clarity, elegance, and classicism makes them a captivating collection of wines. 

Hitting The Bullseye:
2017 Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots

The 2017 Chaignots makes clear just how seductive Mugneret-Gibourg's wines can be. It's always a pleasure to offer Chaignots as it's one of my favorite wines in Burgundy. 

"The 2023 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot is beautiful"
-2023 Dureuil-Janthial Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot Blanc

The wine has an incredible amount of precision, class, and harmony.

"Outstanding"
2023 Jamet Côte-Rôtie

This is Côte-Rôtie with soaring aromatics and incredible detail. The weave of minerality, herbs, spice, savory elements, and florality is beautifully harmonious and simply amazing.

The Last Chance:
2023 Enderle & Moll Pinot Noir Grand Cru Muschelkalk

In the early 2000s, the focus for most German Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) was ripeness, not place. Enderle & Moll's was different - they released wildly delicate, both in color and flavor, Spätburgunders that focused on the place and the soil.

Cult Northern Rhône:
2023 Gonon Saint-Joseph

The 2023 Saint-Joseph is concentrated and beautifully clear. Given the amount of harmony and gripping depth that it possesses, you can safely expect it to evolve into an absolutely stunning example of the northern Rhône.
