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...

Deep, bright red-ruby. Brooding dark berry and floral aromas show terrific lift. Broad, highly concentrated and vibrant, with strong acidity perfectly enrobed by intense dark fruit flavors. Delivers a rare combination of power and finesse. Finishes with terrific medicinal reserve, the tannins saturating the sides of the tongue.
Producer: Arnaud Ente
The 2019 Clos des Ambres is bright, pale yellow. Mineral with lemon zest and crushed rock on the nose. Tightly wound, intensely flavored and classically dry.
Producer: Domaine Francois Raveneau
The 2016 Chablis Foret is very promising with a crisp line of acidity, gentle grip and a live-wire, spicy finish that matches the exotic style of the vintage.
Producer: Maison Marthe Henry
It features a vibrant bouquet of ripe apple, pear, and subtle floral notes with a hint of minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh, with flavors of green apple, white peach, and citrus zest, leading to a clean, mineral finish.
Producer: Paul Chavy
The Aloxe Corton is a distinguished expression of Burgundy's esteemed terroir, showcasing the unique charm and complexity of the Corton hillside. Upon opening, the bouquet entices with an alluring blend of red berries, dried herbs, and a hint of forest floor, evoking a sense of the surrounding woodlands and sun-kissed vineyards.
Producer: Domaine Coche Dury
Sexy aromas of lemon and musky minerals, plus a hint of grilled oak. Sweet and opulent, but with racy acidity framing the lemon, orange and menthol flavors and giving cut to the wine. Really lipsmacking combination of acidity and minerality here.
Producer: Domaine de la Romanee Conti
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very deep hue. The extraordinarily pure bouquet features black cherries intermingling with blueberry and oyster shell, and later a hint of potpourri.
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
Tardy's Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits offers an aromatic nose of red fruits, floral notes, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a lively acidity and silky tannins, displaying flavors of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of earthiness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a subtle hint of minerality. This wine is a great...
Producer: Domaine Roulot
The 2009 Meursault Perrières is a mode of coolness. It possesses tons of energy in reserve. With time in the glass hints of slate, crushed rocks, lime and white flowers start to take shape. The Perrières is simply breathtaking for its clarity and precision.
Producer: Domaine Ramonet
The Bienvenues Batard Montrachet from Ramonet has a pretty bouquet of hibiscus and iris that is quite distinctive compared to their other Grand Crus. A step up in weight and power from the beautiful 1er Cru Ruchottes.
Producer: Domaine Ramonet
Captivating nose combines white fruits, mint and menthol, lifted by powdered stone and a floral topnote. More saline than the foregoing samples, conveying a dry but round umami character and notes of minerals and menthol.
Producer: Domaine de la Romanee Conti
The 2017 La Tâche Grand Cru is another of the more expressive wines in the range. It opens with striking mid-palate pliancy and also possesses a level of inner sweetness the other wines don’t have, and yet there is plenty of the tannic clout that defines the Richebourg as well.
Producer: Domaine de la Romanee Conti
Medium red, knockout perfume of raspberry, minerals and truffley underbrush accented by licorice and pepper notes. Wonderfully sikly yet energetic, with fibrant raspberry and Asian spice flavors complicated by sexy earth tones and a traffley sweetness.
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: Leroy Negoce
On a vast plain slightly sloping, witha soil of limestone rich in ferruginous, the appellation Meursault produce very high quality Premiers Crus. Meursault wines are famous throughout the world for their golden color and their intense aromas.
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
The palate is medium-bodied with a pastille-like succulent entry, quite a gourmand Echezeaux, a little savoury, the oak is quite vocal at the moment. Pleasing bitter edge on the finish, four barrels produced.
