Weinbach Riesling Cuvee Colette Alsace 2021, 0.75L
Riesling from Alsace, Alsace

“Stunning nose of yellow peach, pomelo and fresh pineapple that pulls you into this simultaneously ripe and vibrant dry Riesling. The ripe citrus flavors run right through the palate into the long finish that’s so uplifting it makes you feel good to be alive. So polished and precise. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” 95, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, Apr 2023

“The 2021 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the Bonnes Terres lieu-dit just underneath the Schlossberg, on granite. The vines are between 50 and 60 years old, rooting in deeper topsoil, so there never is hydric stress. The nose is shy, allowing only an occasional flicker of citrus, but the palate comes in with lovely focus and citric verve. Lemon zest and pith frame the juicy, light bodied flow. Lovely, light and super-refreshing. The long lemon finish is totally mouth-watering. (Bone-dry)” 92, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous Jan 2023

Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée Corcelette 2021, 0.75L
Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais

“The 2021 Morgon Cuvée Corcelette comes from vines averaging 50-years in age, this vineyard suffering less reduction in volume than others due to the sandy soils. It is aged in used barrels for around 9 months. It has a quite compelling and complex bouquet, with raspberry and wild strawberry, rose petal and light chalky scents. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, finely chiseled and lending tension. The acidity keeps this taut, focused, and quite minerally …. Bon vin. One of the original ‘Gang of Four’ disciples, Foillard is rightly esteemed as one of the leading Beaujolais producers, which is not reflected in market prices. Few wines represent better value than this. I have visited the Domaine several times over the years. On this occasion, I met with Fanny Bellenger, who works with Jean’s son Alex Foillard, to taste recent releases and take a quick tour of the winery. Unfortunately, due to the growing season in 2021, volumes are down 30%. The two 2020s I tasted from Alex Foillard are promising, especially the Brouilly that, when juxtaposing the two appellations, has more harmony and complexity than the Côte de Brouilly. The standout from Jean Foillard is the Morgon Côte du Py, though readers should not overlook the Fleurie despite the vines suffering grillure in recent years.” 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com, May 2023

Louis Claude Desvignes Morgon Javernieres 2021, 0.75L
Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais

"There's no Impenitents bottling this year, so everything went into the 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières, a brilliant effort in this challenging vintage. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, ripe plums, wild berries, vine smoke and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with terrific mid-palate volume, ripe tannins, tangy acids and a long, penetrating finish .... As I've written before, this 13-hectare domaine produces some of the longest lived and most serious wines in the Beaujolais." 94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Mee Godard Morgon Côte du Py 2021, 0.75L
Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais

“Anything but showy, this is a remarkably structured and concentrated Morgon for the 2021 vintage, but alongside the terrific wet stone minerality that dominates the palate there are also a delicate forest berry and violet aromas that give this an underlying charm. Very firm and complex finish that doesn't want to let go! A cuvee of wines from four parcels in this site. From organically grown grapes.” 94 Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com

Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Chassagne Montrachet, Burgundy

"Pungent aromas of resin, petrol and reduction precede bigger-bodied and solidly concentrated flavors that deliver better depth and length on the equally rustic finale that is sufficiently structured to suggest that 5 to 8 years of keeping should be beneficial." 88-91 Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benjamin Leroux St. Romain Sous le Chateau 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Saint-Romain, Burgundy

“The 2021 Saint-Romain Sous Le Château has a fragrant nose, with green apple, grapefruit, linden and a touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is well balanced with Granny Smith, nectarine and a touch of ginger. It showcases fine depth, with admirable concentration on the finish for a Saint-Romain.” 89-91, Neal Martin, Vinous, Nov 2022

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

“The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is a taut, chiseled wine, unfurling to reveal aromas of citrus zest, crisp green apple, iodine, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's bright and racy and concludes with a penetratingly saline finish. As ever, it's one of the best Chablis of the vintage.” 94+, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Sep 2023

Bret Brothers Pouilly Fuisse En Terres de Vergisson 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Pouilly Fuissé, Burgundy

"This marvelously incisive Pouilly-Fuissé is a blend of two parcels in Vergisson with two different soil types; both are cool terroirs that bring an exotic tropical note of passionfruit and pomelo to the wine along with a strong mineral underpinning. The texture has a lively acidity, but there is real ripeness to give the wines a delicious dynamic balance. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters, and the juice is fermented in older oak casks. (Drink between 2023-2033)" 92 Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

Chavy-Chouet Bourgogne Blanc Les Femelottes 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Bourgogne, Burgundy

"The grapes are grown in the Puligny-Montrachet area, either just outside of the AOC limit or from younger vines. This is a charming, rich, focused and delightful white. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture, the wine has a fresh backbone of acidity, clean apple and citrus flavors, and an excellent balance. A most refreshing quaff and one that is great value. A delicate, expressive wine of exceptional quality." Importer Notes

Chardonnay from Bourgogne, Burgundy

"Harvested from a sustainable, 31-year-old, .82-hectare plateau vineyard planted on clay-silt soil and with a western exposure. After pneumatic pressing, must and gravity settling, and gentle racking at low temperature, the wine goes through alcoholic and natural malolactic fermentation in neutral oak. The wine is then matured for 11 months on fine lees in neutral oak. Bottled with light bentonite fining and unfiltered." Importer Notes

Denis Bachelet Cote de Nuits-Villages 2021, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Cotes de Nuits, Burgundy

“Aromas of red berries, plums, rose petals and spices introduce the 2021 Côte de Nuits-Villages, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine with a vibrant core of fruit, supple tannins and a penetrating, floral finish. As I write every year, if there's a sleeper in the portfolio of this sought-after domaine, this cuvée—from the lieu-dit Queue de Hareng in Brochon—is it.” William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jan 2023

Domaine J.A. Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Pouilly Fuisse, Burgundy

“The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé was tasted from two parcels, one from granite vinified in concrete, which has a leesy, slightly floral bouquet and a pleasant fatness on the mid-palate. Next is from limestone soils and raised in oak, which seems to have a little more tension and race. A third from Les Vignes Blanches, raised solely in used oak, has a pleasant reduction on the nose, again, with fine tension and good substance towards the finish. Together, these should provide the foundation for a well-crafted and quite complex Pouilly-Fuissé, though production will be severely reduced compared to other vintages - just eight barrels.”  89-91, Neal Martin, Vinous, Jun 2022

Jean Philippe Fichet Rully Blanc 2021, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Rully, Burgundy

"Pretty aromas include those of white orchard fruit, crushed anise and a floral top note. The mouthfeel of the slightly bigger and richer flavors is also sleek and detailed while displaying a bit better persistence on the dry, clean and balanced finale that is firm enough to repay 5-ish or so years of keeping." Allen Meadows, Burghound

Lignier Michelot Bourgogne Rouge 2021, 0.75L

"An even fresher, and much more floral-infused, nose blends both black berry fruit and violet with a spicy top note. Here too there is a beguiling texture to the vibrant and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level. Warmly recommended."  Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

Louis Boillot Bourgogne 2021, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Bourgogne, Burgundy

"The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge from Domaine Louis Boillot is another very stylish and nicely red fruity example. The nose delivers a fine range of red plums, cherries, cocoa powder, fresh herb tones and a lovely base of soil. On the palate the wine is fullish, tangy and complex, with nice intensity of flavor, good transparency and just a touch of backend tannin on the well balanced finish."

Chardonnay from Mâcon-Verzé, Burgundy

“The 2021 Mâcon-Verzé Le Chemin Blanc has a simple nose of apple peeling and Conference pear aromas but needs a little more energy. The palate is peachy on the entry with fine acidity, but it lacks some complexity, and as such, it amounts to a decent commercial Mâconnais, no more. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting. (Drink between 2023-2027)”.  Neal Martin, Vinous, Aug 2023

Pierre Yves Colin Morey Nuits Saint Georges 2021, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Nuits St. Georges, Burgundy

"...The juice is pressed into barrel before primary fermentation and then Pierre-Yves leaves them alone as much as possible. Fermentation is always initiated by natural yeast and he does not stir the lees, rack the barrels or even filter the wines. Pierre-Yves also prefers unusual barrels – about 80% of them are 50% larger than normal Burgundy barrels. Depending on the vintage, most of the top wines are aged in new oak, but the larger barrels minimize the oak influence and also delay the malolactic fermentation. The cellar is also kept very cold to further delay the malolactic fermentation – which ideally finishes 8-9 months after harvest. Approximately 18 months after harvest the wines are lightly fined and then bottled. The extended elévage helps preserve aromatic intensity and purity as well as giving the wines the right balance for long-term ageing." Importer Notes

."Complicating notes of pear, white flowers, marzipan, apple, beeswax, lime zest, and a fashionable hint of light reduction; this is an attractively medium-weight Bourgogne Blanc punching above its niveau and revealing fine mid-palate density throughout; fresh, saline, citrus-driven, and persistent, this complex Bourgogne can be drunk now or aged for the short or medium term."

Château de Plaisance Anjou La Grande Piece 2021, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire

“The 2021 La Grande Pièce is one of the Plaisance's single vineyard wines. It's a less-frosted site with pudding stones creating a solar effect on the vines. Half aged in amphora and half in mainly-used barrels. Lemon, apple, almond croissant pastry. Excellent intensity, concentration and persistence. There's an element of tenderness, but linearity pervades this wine like a train on a track.” 92, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Jérôme Bretaudeau Muscadet 'Clos des Bouquinardières' Gabbro 2021, 0.75L
Melon de Bourgogne from Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine, Loire

“Matured 18 months in traditional underground vats, the 2021 Clos des Bouquinardières reveals an abundance of herbs, white fruits, minerals and smoke, intertwined with a delicate, grilled character. Medium-bodied and fleshy with impressive depth at the core, it’s perfectly balanced with a mineral, crystalline texture that finishes chiseled and ethereal. It’s a seamless, complete wine of compelling purity and maturity. It's approachable now but also built to evolve gracefully over the next decade. Jérôme Bretaudeau, a well-known winemaker in Muscadet and France, began his winemaking in 2001 after working for a winegrower who was also a nurseryman. This gave him a precise vision of the quality of grafted plants and a desire to use ‘greffage à l’anglaise’ instead of the widely used omega grafting method. He cultivates his 18-hectare vineyard with cover crops and ploughing, following the principles of biodynamic farming thanks to his meeting with the late Guy Bossard, another great figure of Muscadet. He avoids using barrels to mature his wines and completes malolactic fermentation on all his cuvées. His wines are renowned for their freshness, crystalline tension, and depth. In my opinion, he is one of France’s greatest winemakers.” 92+, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate

"Only just bottled so still quite introverted. Medium-bodied, with good concentration of fruit, quite robust tannins and good acidity. This will be excellent in time. Half whole bunch, and you feel just a touch of aromatic stems, but no excessive greenness or textural harshness. From three parcels around the estate of old-vine Grenache that are between 50 and 70 years old. Partially destemmed, fermented in raw cement tanks then aged in old barriques for 12 months.

"Coming from three different parcels near the northern Rhône (as well as some declassified Côte Rôtie), the 2021 Collines Rhodaniennes Les Lezardes shows the fresher, cooler style of the vintage yet still brings lots of character. Red and black fruits, peppery herbs, flowers, and a touch of game all define the nose, and it's medium-bodied, crisp, and balanced on the palate." Jeb Dunnuck
