The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of the vintage comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.
Producer: Jacquesson
For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect...

Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
2017, the harvest from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%) Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and Spring were exceptionally dry; the beginning of Spring was mild but, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures then rose and the weather was good until July. The end of the growing season was hot but very wet. The...

The Champagne Rosè Oeil de Pedrix is the result of an assemblage of Meunier and Chardonnay from old vineyards. Flowery Champagne Rosè Extra Brut, particularly fine and fresh with a very limited production.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2021 Il Carbonaione is a regal, elegant wine. Silky, beautifully perfumed and persistent, the 2021 is everything I want from Il Carbonaione. All the purity of Sangiovese caresses the senses in a wine that is both textually intense and also light on its feet. Dark red-toned fruit, rose petals, cinnamon, new leather and cedar are some of the many...

Very pale green-tinged yellow. Brooding yet delicate aromas of flinty minerality, iodine, mint and lavender. Almost painfully young today but boasts superb energy and precision and a wonderfully light touch for its superb intensity. A Montrachet of refinement and lift more than sheer volume.
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
Tardy's Gevrey Chambertin Champerriers 2022 has a complex bouquet of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a firm structure, showing flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and hints of leather and mushroom. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, and the finish is long and satisfying. Overall, this wine is a classic...
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
End of the coteaux of Nuits, the last vineyard before Vosne-Romanée. Picked later than others, The Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Argillats 1er Cru needs some coaxing from the glass, revealing blackberry and hints of blue fruit lending some “light” with time.
Producer: Domaine d'Auvenay
Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy's biodynamic methods were applied onto d’Auvenay’s vineyard since the beginning in 1988. Les Narvaux have a gorgeous buttery popcorn nose and seductive ripe orchard fruits.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
Meursault Les Tillets Blanc is a wine of great elegance with considerable ageing potential, and like every wine from Pierre Vincent Girardin it expresses the typicality of each individual vineyard, with a perfect balance between minerality and fruit.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
Bright ruby red in the glass, Pierre Vincent Girardin's Corton Bressandes offers intense aromas of cassis and orange peel on the nose. A wine of perfect balance, able to give emotions right away and to age for a long time in the cellar.
Producer: Domaine Prieure Roch
Domaine Prieuré Roch is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Henry Roch immediately has clear ideas of the wine he wants to produce, a wine that is pure and authentic expression of the territory.

Pommard Les Chapponnières' 1er Cru is an incredible wine from PVG, a wine with a strong character, highly recommended for its complexity and ability to age gracefully.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Deep ruby-red. Slightly reduced, reserved nose hints at superripe dark fruits and roasted nuts. Extremley ripe but a bit youthfully stunted, with slightly roasted, chocolatey flavor.
Producer: Paul Chavy
Paul Chavy's Bourgogne Chardonnay Blanc offers a captivating sensory journey through the famed terroir of the region. As the cork is pulled, delicate aromas gracefully waft from the glass, beckoning with a harmonious blend of citrus zest, ripe orchard fruits, and a subtle hint of toasted almonds.
Producer: Benoit Ente
The 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté Antichtone is gorgeous. White pear, smoke, slate and graphite all jump from the glass in a perfumed, nuanced wine loaded with class.
Producer: Domaine Leflaive
Rather full yellow with a gold tinge. Slightly exotic apricot and yellow peach scents on first sniff, with notes of wet store, lemon zest, mandarin and baked bread. Fat, thick and honeyed on entry but quickly firmed in the mid-palate by an edge of acidity, with strong iodiney minerality emerging on the back half.
Producer: Domaine Roulot
Soft citrus fruits and toast lifted by crushed stone on the nose. Fat and fruity but less showy than the Tillets. This is densely packed and rather serious wine, offering a glyceral texture but showing less of the vintage's exotic side. Finishes with lovely length.
Producer: Domaine Coche Dury
Coche described as perfect grapes, untouched by frost): Penetrating scents of crushed stone and lemon; classic Perrières! Smooth and very dense on the palate, with its flavors of crushed rock, lemon, lime, underripe pineapple, flowers and saline minerality showing great inner-mouth tension. This, too, boasts terrific dry extract. Finishes with...
Producer: Domaine Coche Dury
Subtly complex aromas of lemon ice, mint and nutty, spicy oak. Rich, sweet and chewy, with a powerful minerality giving it great penetration for the vintage. This boasts wonderful inner-mouth perfume. Less obviously ripe than the young 2002 but possesses terrific lurking sweetness. Finishes very long, with notes of oatmeal and vanillin oak.
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
This Gevrey Chambertin comes from a magnificent parcel of Champerrier with old vines. This superb wine expresses itself with elegance, power and depth. While keeping a great delicacy.
