"When tasting the barrels likely to be part of the 2018 Cornas Vin Noir, it was immediately apparent that there's a step up in intensity, likely from the generally older vines that provide fruit for this cuvée. Violets and cassis in some instances, roasted meat and mocha in others, but always with great intensity. Full-bodied, velvety and plush, with long finishes, these components should yield an outstanding finished wine." Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Belland’s are always delicious and precocious, but in 2020 they’re even better than usual.
This shows Volnay’s signature silky tannins, and a long, lush finish. Belland fermented this wine with 100% whole cluster this year to provide definition to the concentrated fruit, and the wine is perfectly balanced. Burghound called it “rich, seductively textured and velvety.” We were struck by the complex aromas of dark fruit and spice, and as usual were impressed with its elegance.

Stretching across a prominent hill just north of Beaune, the vineyard covers 236 acres, just 40 less than the entire appellation of Morey-St-Denis. The terroirs vary widely across the giant vineyard, and so it’s further divided into dozens of smaller “climats.” The finest of these are the three farthest north in the middle of the slope: Bressandes, Clos du Roi, and Renardes.
The humble family domaine of Gaston and Pierre Ravaut has made wine from the hill of Corton for generations. Longtime local customers account for the majority of their business, and there’s barely a sign on the front door. The Ravauts make excellent whites and reds from the towns surrounding the hill, but the jewel of their collection is their plot of Grand Cru Corton-Bressandes. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

When the wine was still in the barrel, he rated it 90-93; but in January of 2019 he upped the rating to 94, calling it a “gorgeous, modern St. Emilion” that offers “tremendous depth, . . . dark, jammy fruit, chocolate, spice, and new leather.” His colleague Neal Martin said it was “among the best wines I have tasted from this estate.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Awarding 95 points and calling it “a total knockout,” he wrote of its “superb depth and textural richness.” We agree — the mouthfeel of this wine is extraordinary, combining a palate-coating intensity with balance, fine tannins and polish. Galloni concluded by calling it “fabulous in every way,” and suggesting a drinking window beginning in 2024. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

We’re not sure where she’s been hiding, or why no other American importers have found her. But her wines simply blew us away.
The 2018 vintage shows beautifully dark ripe fruit. It is very Côte de Nuits, with deep earthy flavor and briary notes. There’s plenty of black currant fruit and the promise of interesting aromas to come as the wine takes on a few years of age. For wines of power and longevity, Gevrey is the big dog of the Côte d’Or.

"The thing that impressed us most was also the hardest to pin down. Put simply, these glasses make you pause -- their featherweight delicacy compels attention. Not every wine requires such contemplation, but for those that do, a tool like this is indispensable."
