Chatelet 2018 Hautes Cotes De Nuits
Look for red fruit (strawberry and cherry) and hints of violets and spice. Fine, medium- bodied tannins on the palate with soft and refreshing acidity round out this savoury Burgundian red. Utterly delicious on its own and versatile with food.
For wine lovers looking for that rare bottle of Red Burgundy that truly over delivers for the price. This Pinot Noir will stand out on the shelf for being one of the very few offerings under $45.00
Sohler 2019 Zellberg Sylvaner
Domaine Sohler 2020 Heissenberg Riesling
La Liquiere 2019 Faugeres ‘Nos Racines’
120+ Year-Old Carignan. 85% Carignan, 15% Grenache - two plots planted before 1900
The original grape variety of the appellation, Carignan is a testament to the terroir, creating wine with a striking character. Notes of blackberry fruit and black currant, Nos Racines combines concentration and freshness with soft tannins.
Baumard Cremant De Loire Rose
80% Cabernet Franc, 20% Chenin Blanc
"Very pale, bright pink with a steady bead. Shy aromas of strawberry, blood orange, rose and spices, plus a hint of honeysuckle. Very fresh and expansive on the palate, offering pure red fruit and sweet citrus flavors and subtle minerality. The precise, spicy finish leaves dusty mineral and strawberry notes behind."' - Steve Tanzer
Tinel Blondelet 2020 ‘Buffatte’ Pouilly Fume
Lapeyre 2018 Jurancon Sec Vitatge Vielh
Champalou 2020 Vouvray Fondraux
Clos de la Roilette 2021 Fleurie Tardive
"Coudert's brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth." - 95 Points Wine Advocate (2018 Vintage), August 2019
Domaine Pelle 2018 Morogues Menetou-Salon
100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
