These three are perfect wintertime bottlings: classic old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape, rugged and delicious Syrah from St-Joseph in the Northern Rhône, and beautiful velvety 7-year-old Right Bank Bordeaux blend. A cozy trio for the chilly months.

This trio of three small batch grower Champagnes will delight any wine lover. The Robin is a rich blanc de noirs from the Côtes des Bar, the Lancelot-Royer a refined blanc de blancs grand cru from the Côtes des Blancs, and the Coutier an exquisite, expressive blend from the world-famous town of Ambonnay.

Happier, healthier vines and soils produce better wine, and this trio proves this with ease. André's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an iconic wine and one of the original biodynamic sources in the Rhône Valley; their neighbor Clos du Joncuas makes an equally delicious and slightly more rugged blend from Gigondas. And Pierre Vessigaud's magnificent premier cru Pouilly-Fuissé easily rivals a Chassagne or Meursault.

He’s an insiders’ producer with a mouthwatering collection of terroirs; together with his sister Sylvie who handles much of the viticulture, they continue to turn out magnificent expressions of their unparalleled terroir. Boyer’s 2023s are simply delicious – juicy and fleshy and approachable, but with excellent tension and low alcohol.Meursault 1er cru “Charmes” is often the most opulent of the trio, and 2023 is no exception. The nose is deep and bursting with fresh flower and white spice perfume; it’s a noticeable jump in expressiveness from the village cuvées. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Vinous’s Neal Martin scored it 92-94, praising its “attractive nose of brambly red berry fruit, morels and tobacco, nicely focused and showing good intensity,” and calling it “a superb Clos Vougeot.” Inside Burgundy’s Jasper Morris awarded it 93-95: “This is surprisingly easy-going at the front end then a little touch of acidity and more structure behind, providing the typically robust Clos Vougeot experience.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

They farm a mouthwatering collection of vines in and around Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, including all three famous Meursault premier crus. They farm organically, and use a long elevage in barrels then concrete eggs to give their wines a regal depth and complexity. These are some of our favorite white Burgundies from anywhere.
Known for its power and regal depth, Boyer’s is, in Burghound’s words, “textbook Perrières.” The nose shows yellow fruits, pear tart, a hint of reduction and buttered toast. The mouth is exceptional – rich and bold and muscled with a sleek texture and extremely long finish. Burghound found it “delicious” and succulent,” with a “cuts-like-a-knife finish” amid the lush fruit. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The nose shows gardenias and lilacs; the mouth is smooth and sleek with an endless finish. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The vines for this cuvée are part of Cheron’s family heritage – his grandfather bought them from Comte Ligier Belair in 1930, and with a smile he told us of enjoying bottles on Sundays with his father growing up. Allen Meadows (Burghound) awarded 92-95 points, finding a complex aromatic profile: “Ripe and fresh aromas of red and black cherry, plum and earth display a top note of kirsch.” He praised its “outstanding power,” and called it “definitely built to age.” Jasper Morris awarded the same score.
