Bernard Faurie St. Joseph Rouge Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2001SKU6822
This is a traditionally styled Rhone from the finest vineyard sites. Already many years in the bottle this will require at least an hour of open time to reveal its magical nose and complex palate.
Domaine Bruno Colin Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru La Maltroie
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6937
The nose is fresher and more elegant with higher register fruit aromas and supple, sweet and more refined flavors that are well structured, all wrapped in a subtly mineral finish. .Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Dirler-Cade Riesling Grand Cru Kessler Heisse Wanne
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7737
Ripe grapefruit, peach, cherry, in the nose lead to a caressingly creamy mouthful of rich, pit fruits, citrus, and florality. It is superbly concentration with a formidably long dry finish. 94pts Wine Advocate (2005)
Domaine DuBreuil-Fontaine Aloxe Corton 1er Cru les Vercots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CORTON
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7744
Bright and precise dark berries on the mineral-infused nose. Excellent depth and focus on the palate with exceptioally rich flavors and elegance. This finishes seductively with very fine grained tannins and silky texture.
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Rouge Les Bons Batons
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - OTHER
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7505
Quite ripe and very fresh earthy red pinot fruit with rich, sweet and delicious flavors that are forward and possess a real sense of volume on the subtly mineral-infused finish. This is a really fine effort for its level and recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Gimonnet Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size750MLVintageNVSKU7436
Pale green-tinged straw color. A highly perfumed bouquet displays white flowers, lime and lemongrass, along with a strong mineral overtone. Pure, sharply focused citrus flavors are impressively racy, with a refreshing note of lime zest on the back end... 92pts IWC-Tanzer
Nicolas Potel Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8356
This is carrying much more generous wood than the Gevrey though it does not dominate the pretty red berry fruit that is very pinot in character and the wood also surfaces on the round and firm middle weight flavors supported by a persistent finish that possesses a bit more depth if less length. A qualitative choice but for those who enjoy villages level wines with plenty of Nuits character, this would be a good, if slightly oaky, choice. Allen Meadows-Burghound
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - POUILLY-FUISSE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU14427
Simply one of the finest Pouilly Fuisse year after year with impeccable balance and nuanced complexity. Very Highly Recommended!
Domaine Jayer Gilles Bourgogne Rouge Hautes Cotes du Nuits
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - OTHER
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7132
As it almost always is, this is slightly finer and more aromatically elegant and offers better integration of the wood treatment as well. However, the flavors are more refined but slightly less concentrated though I like the minerality that comes up on the clean and dry finish. Outstanding! Top Value! Allen Meadows -Burghound
Domaine DuBreuil-Fontaine Savigny-les-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7765
This Pinot has compact densearomatics - rather impressive. There
Albert Boxler Pinot Gris Grand Cru Sommerberg
Size750MLVintage2008SKU12842
This displays a saline mineral character as well as citrus (principally pink grapefruit) zest pungency, which is welcome in helping offset the effects of more than 30 grams of residual sugar. Polished, refined, and with impressive finishing cling. Very rare!
Andre Perret St. Joseph Rouge Les Grisieres
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - SAINT-JOSEPH
Size750MLVintage2006SKU7282
The 2006 St.-Joseph Les Grisieres is charming as it possesses more layers and concentration, but also more tannin and structure. It will improve with several years in the bottle, and should last a decade. 92pts Wine Advocate (2006)
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2003SKU3724
Aromas of blackberry, chocolate and toasted oak follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Refined and silky for the vintage. 91pts Wine Spectator (2003)
Chateau Monbousquet St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2008SKU9601
Soft, round and opulent, this sexy 2008 reveals lots of white chocolate, espresso roast, Christmas fruitcake, black currant and cherry characteristics in its flamboyant bouquet. Round, medium to full-bodied and lush, it can be enjoyed now and over the next decade. This is a sleeper of the vintage. 92pts Wine Advocate (2008)
Domaine Albert Boxler Riesling Grand Cru Brand (L32)
Size750MLVintage2003SKU4560
From vines over sixty years old; again hugely concentrated and harmonious, softer than Sommerberg but with more rich apricot and spice; fabulous length.
Domaine Dirler-Cade Pinot Gris Grand Cru Kessler
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7739
Pungent smokiness and malted, honeyed, nutty, creamy richness characterize the Dirler 2005 Pinot Gris Kessler, a wine of only modest sweetness considering it is carrying more than fifty grams of residual sugar (but already at over 14% alcohol) and only modest acidity. 91 points Wine Advocate (2005)
Domaine DuBreuil-Fontaine Pernand Ile des Vergelesses 1er cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - PERNAND-VERGELESSES
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7732
The 2005 Burgundy vintage continues to deliver with this rich, complex wine with effusive fruit and earth aromas that follow through nicely on a well-structured palate.
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - COTE-ROTIE
Size750MLVintage2000SKU4255
The elegantly styled 2000 Cote Rotie reveals low acidity along with sweet, ripe, cherry, raspberry, and currant fruit intermixed with mineral and floral notes, soft tannin, medium body, and a flowery, lacy style. Quite Burgundian.
Domaine Bruno Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Boudriotte
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6119
Here the nose runs more toward floral and citrus aromas that give way to bigger, richer and more powerful medium plus-bodied flavors brimming with plenty of dry extract on the tangy, delicious and moderately complex finish. This is a bit tighter as well and should reward an extra year in the cellar. Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Bruno Colin Chassagne Montrachet Les Vergers
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6120
Musky white flowers and honeyed low tones on the nose. Smooth and sweet but subdued, with an impression of elevated alcohol leavened by brighter notes of lemon, lime and stone. In a somewhat more strict Puligny style, but rather tight today, with a firm structure.
Taittinger Rose Cuvee Prestige
Size750MLSKU10554
Pale strawberry-pink. Perfumed aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and flowers; smells dry and rocky. Bright and incisive, with intense, high-pitched red berry flavors of compelling sweetness; still a bit youthfully restrained. Offers very good density and extract. 92pts Wine Advocate
Cathrine et Claude Marechal Pommard Le Chaniere
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - POMMARD
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6889
From Claude and Catherine Mar?chal at Pommard in the C?te de Beaune, this pure Pinot Noir, derived from 60-year-old vines planted in limestone clay soils. This bears the benefit of a spectacular 2005 vintage with concentration, depth and complexity beyond its station. This is an exceptional value!
