Champagne Charles Heidsieck Brut Vintage 2013
$170.00Add to cartWhat a wine. When compared to their typical NV release, 2013 has a good amount more power. That’s not to say that it isn’t still fresh, but the blend of fruit and precise mineral edge leave us wanting more and more.

Chateau d’Yquem 2009, 375ml
$500.00Add to cartWhat can we say about d’Yquem that we haven’t said before? Will and David think it’s the best wine on earth. The 2009 Château d’Yquem has a dazzling nose with notes of honey, pineapple, and apricot, along with a moderate spice profile of peach and pineapple nectar. It has largesse on the palate and a finish that lasts forever. This is the kind of wine you open and can smell it across the room and it’s the best. Pair with almost anything: foie gras, blue cheese, or even something more unconventional like sushi or Thai food.

Buy to enjoy now or store for your great grand children. If you do want to enjoy it make sure you have some blue cheese or foie gras on hand to pair.

Chateau Haut Brion Premier Grand Cru Classe Pessac Loegnan 2018
$890.00Add to cartHaut Brion has been revered for centuries as one of the world’s greatest wines. Favored by kings, presidents (Thomas Jefferson was a noted fan), and the upper echelons of the wine industry, it hasn’t lost a step. This is a complex, deeply layered wine that will continue to get better for the next few decades (if not longer).
-
Chateau Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc 2020
$222.00Add to cartLa Clarté de Haut-Brion boasts a legendary and unique kinship: made from grapes grown on the Haut-Brion terroir, it is born of two prestigious estates: Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion. The wine is concentrated, with delicate white flowers and lemon on the nose. It develops on the palate but the lemon is a through line that plays out in the long finish.
-
Dal Forno Romano Amarone Monte Lodoletta 2017 750ml
$504.00Add to cartThis is a wine that will reward patience. Like most Amarone’s the Dal Forno is brooding, brimming with dark cherries and violets that play off the spice, earth, and coffee notes that add complexity. This balance between the rich acidity, the savory umami, and the fresh fruit leave this looking like a linebacker dancing a ballet. It’s graceful.

Domaine Cecile Tremblay Morey-Saint-Denis Tres Girard 2021
$642.00Add to cartCécile Tremblay is a beloved producer who is renowned as one of the most gifted viticulturists in Burgundy. Since 2002 Cécile’s wines have been finding their way into the collections of astute Burgundy enthusiasts and France’s finest restaurants—the quantities she works in are so small there isn’t much that leaves the country. Many of her vines come from her great grandparents holdings (the Jayer’s) that were planted in the 1920s. The 21s that have arrived are delicate and vivid but her wines are always intense with vivacious, exuberant fruit that’s rich in the mid-palate with a long and intense finish.

Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc Breze
$145.00Add to cartOne of the most sought after producers in the Loire. The wines of Domaine Guiberteau are for those really in the know. The legendary Becky Wasserman has this to say about Guiberteau: Romain Guiberteau owns some of the best land in Brézé, and makes dry chenins of punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness.
This wine from Brézé is one of the peaks of Chenin Blanc. It’s incredibly dry with ripping texture and acid. It’s like watching a linebacker dance ballet.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle 1er Cru La Combe d’Orveau 2021
$310.00Add to cartWith land in both the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, Romain Taupenot and his sister Virginie produce nineteen wines across seventeen appellations. Most of their holdings are premier or grand cru, all enviably placed with old vines. In winemaking they follow in the footsteps of Henri Jayer and focus first on their vineyards and hand harvest, de-stem, and cold soak before a natural fermentation with wild yeasts. The wines are excellent, complex, and terroir-driven.

Doyard Clos de l’Abbaye 1er Cru Extra Brut 2018
$225.00Add to cartThe Doyard family traces their winemaking roots in Champagne back to 1677 but have been officially making wine under the Doyard label since 1927, and over the years, Yannick Doyard and his son Guillaume have become a beacon for precise, vinous, mineral-etched Champagne in the Côtes des Blancs. The domaine employs organic farming in the vines, with most of the vineyards worked by horse. This wine comes from a Vertus 1er cru and offers aromas of crisp stone fruits, pear, buttered toast, musky peach, and smoke. It’s precise and dry, having been disgorged this year with two grams per liter dosage after 48 months on the lees. It’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy, and precise, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, racy acids, and a long, chalky finish.

Favia Cab. Sauv Combsville 2019
$279.00Add to cartIf you don’t know Favia let us introduce you. Founded by husband and wife team Annie Favia and Andy Erickson in 2003, this winery has been steadily releasing some of the best (and most ageworthy) Cabernets in the valley.The reason they were able to come right out of the gate making such stellar wine is the pedigree that they bring to the table. She managed vineyards for Abreu and then Colgin, Harlan, and Aurajo while he was assistant winemaker at Harlan and then winemaker at Screaming Eagle among other projects.Sourced from three Coombsville vineyards: Meteor, The Rabbit Hole, and Collinetta. A glass-staining ruby-purple color. Intensely aromatic blackberry and cherry fruits are pure, precise, and layered with fragrant cedarwood notes, white pepper, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with unctuous and concentrated dark berry fruits that have a satiny quality, framed by velvety fine-grained tannins and gobs of red licorice, aromatic violets, and graphite. So dense and tightly packed and yet so fresh and inviting. A classic Coombsville expression of Cab. -

Herb Lamb Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 750ml
$387.00Add to cartThe wines from Herb Lamb were a special grower take on Napa Cab, that are now unfortunately in a rebuilding phase after the Glass Fires swept through the region destroying their operation along the way. But this wine, oh this wine is just coming into its own. The reserve is the best of the best and if you are looking for the perfect Napa Cab this is a wine to drink now or save for the next decade.

Hubert Lignier Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2021
$660.00Add to cartDomaine Hubert Lignier has a long reputation for producing fine, terroir-focused wines known for their purity, depth, and concentration. This Charmes is one of the most seductive and fragrant wines to drink young in all of Gevery Chambertin. So if you’re looking to drink now this is a good bottle for you. That being said it can easily stand extended aging.

Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2021
$875.00Add to cartThis is an iconic wine, a true standout that spent seven seasons in barrel before release. It should be cellared patiently, unless of course you want to get both and try one now to gauge how long you should lock it away before opening the next bottle.The site’s particular terroir—a few inches of pebble-strewn topsoil above solid limestone rock—yields a wine of unfathomable mineral intensity, with rugged spices and a profound sense of earth framing its flinty, smoke-tinged core.
