Two great Burgundy Producers that Never Disappoint. For the first time we are happy to offer a white from Edmund Cornu (have you ever seen a Chorey les Beaune Blanc?) and of course his always delicious Bourgogne Rouge. And from de Launay, a perfectly drinking 2008 Premier Cru for only $36 and in lovely magnum size for Indian Summer parties!

| 2012 Domaine Edmond Cornu Chorey Les Beaune Blanc
$210 6pack
Three to four barrels are produced of this rare white that is barrel-fermented and barrel-aged. An entrancing wine that is mineral to its core, it is usually bottled after 12 months of aging. It is an interesting mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc from vines of 40+ years of age. Only 300 bottles come to the US market via Neal Rosenthal!

2011 Cornu Chorey Les Beaune Rouges Les Bons Ores
$190 6pack
The Chorey Rouge is racked into barrel (no more than 10% new oak) to rest there for fifteen to eighteen months before bottling. This wine rarely carries a lot of color; then again, why should it? It’s from Chorey and its made from pinot noir; thus, we have a spice box of aromas and a bit of rusticity to its tannins, with a nugget of red cherry fruit; a stimulating wine that is as true as it gets! |

2008 Domaine du Meix Foulot Mercurey Clos du Chateau de Montaigu Premier Cru Monopole
$216 6pack
magnums $90 each
91 Points Burghound ♥ “Outstanding. This is also quite aromatically elegant as the very fresh red pinot fruit, earth and stone notes are pure and appealingly complex. There is fine detail to the racy, intense and linear middle weight flavors that display good focus and persistence on the solidly powerful, moderately firm and mildly austere finish. This beautifully well-balanced effort will also require a few more years in the cellar.” Reviewed September 2012
