2012 Domaine Edmond Cornu Chorey Les Beaune Blanc $228 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 $210 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! |

2012 Moissenet-Bonnard Bourgogne Rouge Les Maison Dieu $150 6pack 'Les Maisons Dieu' hails from the site of an old hospice structure dating back to the 10th century. This is Pommard in a nutshell: generously rich, masculine in structure, with brawny tannins and notes of forest floor and pinesap mingling with the darkly carameled black currant fruit. Jean-Louis bottles his wines unfiltered and they will gain further complexity with age, but are generous now. |

Moissenet-Bonnard’s vineyards are some of the finest in the appellation and his wines are highly and consistently praised in the French press. One sip of this and you will be a hero to all the Chardonnay drinkers in your family!
