Louis-Fabrice Latour was more than an icon in the world of wine—he was a generous friend whose wines have never failed to delight Wine Access members. He passed away in September, and we chose to honor him by including a spectacular bottle from his family’s 200-year-old winery in our last club shipment of the year….
The best bottles of Pommard Pinot Noir are downright magical, and with a decade of age, they can be life-changing. And whether they’re young or have time in the bottle, they can be unbelievably expensive: Coche-Dury’s Les Vaumuriens is $215, Domaine Leroy’s Pommard goes for $320, and Leroy’s Premier Cru Les Vignots commands $1,040. Fortunately,…
The 2016 Maison L’Envoyé Attaché is a stunning example of what Willamette Pinot Noir can be. A barrel-selection of the finest lots in the cellar from what Wine Spectator calls the best vintage in Oregon’s history, we secured an exclusive allocation on the fantastic 93-point 2016—at just $28 per bottle, 30% off the winery’s price….
Single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from the Pacific-kissed Doña Margarita vineyard are bold. They’re silky. They’re delightfully juicy. And they almost never come at a bargain price. Kelleher makes a $65 bottle there. Alma Fria’s is $60. This very 2016 Marimar Método Antiguo—from Wine Enthusiast’s top-scoring Sonoma vintage of the decade—has a $64 SRP. And that’s the…
On a sunny weekend last October, we took a drive to Half Moon Bay for a beach picnic with some friends. With a cooler (let’s be honest, no one uses baskets anymore) full of charcuterie, cheese, three dozen oysters, and entirely too much wine, we set up camp, eager to get lost in the sound…
A Pinot Noir Steal Thanks to Baby Dash Winemaker Britt Nichols, who lives in Carneros, knows the windswept Napa region as well as anyone. That’s how she was able to lock in 12 barrels of exceptional Pinot Noir. Britt — a Jordan Winery alum, and protege of Nicolas Morlet and 100-point winemaker Philippe Melka —…
A French Winemaker on an Oregon Mission As a consultant for Atlas Wine Company, Alexandre Remy has hired out his considerable talents to a who’s who of big-name Napa Valley and Sonoma County wineries — including Opus One, Chalone Group, and Jackson Family Wines. When he set out to produce his own Pinot Noir, the…
Pinot Noir From America’s Wine Royalty This Royal St. Robert cuvée is sold out on Raen’s website. We managed to wrestle a small allocation away from Eleven Madison Park and its three Michelin-star company. In the words of Galloni: “Don’t miss them.” We sat down with winemaker Carlo Mondavi [watch here] The label might be…
From Backyard Beginnings to World Class Winery “Comparisons to the best estates in California are increasingly less relevant,” says Vinous’s Antonio Galloni. “Rhys is world class. It’s as simple as that.” Thanks to low yields and off-the-chart demand, the wines are impossible to come by save if you’re on the mailing list. Impossible, except for…
It’s a “hotbed for Pinot Noir, featuring some of the country’s top examples.” The landscape is unforgiving with “hard, jagged edges” and mountains that “thrust up into the sky,” while the wind “whips up the cold waters of the lakes.” As for the vines, they’ve “gotten serious,” and “put down roots, thickened their trunks and…
Antinori’s Atlas Peak Pinot, Ric Forman’s “Finesse” Pioneering winemaker Ric Forman (Stony Hill, Sterling, Newton, Inglenook) once crafted one of the most talked-about California Pinots of its time—a wine Robert Parker famously compared to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (a wine that costs roughly $16,500 per bottle in the U.S.). That bottling was the result of…
First to Pioneer Pinot Noir Grapes in the Region An under-$15 Waipara Valley Pinot Noir with the quality of a top-notch village Volnay—what else could you want? From one of New Zealand’s oldest wineries, the first to pioneer the Pinot Noir grape in the region, comes this juicy, mouthwatering, cherry-scented red, a product of the…
Our friendship with 100-point winemaker Phil Titus dates back some 25 years. The man behind Titus Vineyards and Coho, he’s a legend in the field, and the guy to talk to if you want to understand the psyche—and palate—of a classic Cabernet drinker. In his 30-year tenure at Chappellet, he’s produced a run of career-defining Cabs,…
Iconic Pinot From Arroyo Grande’s Premier Producer You can’t have a conversation about Central Coast Pinot Noirs without talking about Talley. From their vineyards in the Arroyo Grande Valley, you can smell the salty air from the Pacific and watch the fog swirl into their vineyards, blanketing each vine in a protective layer of cool…
This single-vineyard 2016 Westwood release epitomizes what we love about Sonoma Pinot. Juicy, rich, and round in all the right places, it’s the kind of deeply satisfying bottle we’ve come to expect from the critically acclaimed Westwood winery. What’s surprising today is the price tag—which makes the Westwood a total steal considering the pedigreed estate…
Parker: “One of the premier producers of American Pinot Noir” Today, we’re bringing back an old favorite: “One of the premier producers of American Pinot Noir,” as described by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, back in issue 197. While not among the marquis names of the region, having tasted their wines two weeks ago in a…
High Prestige, Humble Price The Willamette Valley’s reputation is skyrocketing, and taking the price for estate-grown Pinot Noir right up with it. That doesn’t bother us, because those rising price tags just make today’s deal from Winter’s Hill even sweeter: We’ve got the gorgeous and graceful 2016 Winter’s Hill Estate Pinot Noir Dundee Hills, fresh…
Albert Bichot has been a longtime Wine Access favorite for their perennially overperforming Burgundies, but we’ve rarely had the chance to offer their most limited-production bottles. Today, however, we’re bringing our members Bichot’s rare 2017 Mercurey Premier Cru Champs Martin. This Champs Martin comes from one of the top vineyards in the Côte Chalonnaise, a…
Albert Bichot is one of our go-to Burgundy producers for one simple reason: their quality-to-price ratio. When we first discovered the estate over a decade ago, we drove up and down Burgundy on repeat, visiting their vineyards and securing as much wine from the lauded estate as we could. Their bottles represent the pinnacle of…
With two centuries of winemaking behind them, the Bichot family now makes 50+ different Grand and Premier Cru Burgundies. That means they’ve got plots of vines in the most storied and prestigious corners of Burgundy, and it’s why their “family secret”—the 2017 Albert Bichot Secret de Famille Pinot Noir—brings such stellar value. With grapes strictly…
