Jean Vesselle Reserve Brut NV
“Powerful, vinous and beautifully resonant… Rich red stone fruit, spice, leather and lightly honeyed notes all form a super-attractive fabric of aromas and flavors in this deep, intensely satisfying NV Champagne. What a gorgeous wine this is.” 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Jean Vesselle “Rosé de Saignée” Brut NV
“The NV Brut Rosé de Saignée is phenomenally beautiful. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, red berries and cinnamon abound in a rich, vinous Champagne endowed with magnificent depth and intensity. The flavors are deep and resonant, but it is the wine's bold fruit and supporting minerality that I find absolutely compelling. Frankly, it's hard to put the glass down.”

Domaine Vacheron Sancerre 2014
Mineral-rich, zesty Sauvignon Blanc primarily from flint soils in Sancerre. Aged in stainless steel tank for 8 months.
Domaine Boudin Chablis Fourchaume 2014
“So powerfully aromatic that I could smell this from some yards away. Clean and precise. And very very Chablis-like with its not inconsiderable aromas vibrating on the wet-stone and wet-wool axis. Long and relatively rich. VGV” Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
Yves Boyer-Martenot Meursault En l’Ormeau 2013
“Pale yellow. Pure aromas of lemon and candied peach plus a hint of honey. Round and supple on entry, then firmer in the middle, showing good citrussy cut to the stone fruit and hazelnut flavors. Finishes with good breadth and a slight edge of acidity.”
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Domaine Jean Calot Morgon Vieilles Vignes 2014
Winemaker Jean Calot tends only older vines—80 to 110 years old—on some of Morgon’s finest terroir. Aromas range from warm lavender to cloves to sweet peppers and cherries; the mouth takes it up a notch with cherries jubilee, mulling spice and a shake of chocolate dust.
Domaine Arlaud Bourgogne Rouge 2013
“… Riper than I expected with very fresh and perfumed aromas that remind me quite a bit of 2010 yet the 2013s are even more complex. I believe that clients are going to love the 2013s because they're classic burgundies and there's really nothing not to like.”
Cyprien Arlaud
Domaine Arlaud Morey St. Denis Millandes 2013
“From two parcels that are 25 and 48 years old, the 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru les Millandes has a fragrant and quite floral bouquet that is very harmonious... fine and quite firm tannin, pure black fruit and more mineral notes on the finish that you can shake a stick at.”

Domaine Livera Fixin En Olivier 2013
Livera’s Fixin has long been the quintessential “insider’s wine” in that it proffers a level of quality that goes well beyond its very reasonable price point. The Livera style is one which rewards. Even from the humble appellation of Fixin, Damien Livera invests significant time and energy to produce an artisanal wine which combines the ripeness of low yields with that traditional sense of place which Burgundy consumers crave.
Domaine Livera Gevrey Chambertin En Champs 2013
“ Livera deems his philosophical approach to both viticulture and vinification as "traditional"… there is a careful triage in both the vineyards and the cuvérie, 100% destemming, a cuvaison of around 15 days with twice daily punch downs and pump overs.”
Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Seraphin 2012
“…Offers plenty of strawberry, blackberry, herbs and crushed-rock minerality. Made from a blend of close to equal parts Syrah and Grenache, it firms up substantially on the palate…”
Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
Domaine La Millière Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes 2012
“Bright violet color. Complex bouquet of dried red fruits, garrigue, peppery spices and smoked meat, with a sexy floral note emerging slowly. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering nicely concentrated, appealingly sweet cherry and redcurrant flavors. Dusty tannins give shape to the long, spicy finish and meld smoothly with the wine's juicy fruit.”
91 Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Château de Pibarnon Bandol 2010
“ …Offers both gorgeous aromatic complexity and superb richness and depth on the palate. Giving up notions of pepper, Provencal herbs, underbrush and leather, with a solid core of dark fruit… medium to full-bodied, pure, layered and beautifully balanced…”
