We did a double-take when we saw the price tag on the 2017 Les Grands Prétans from Domaine Besson in Givry: This isn’t the village-level bottling from a no-name winery, it’s the single-vineyard cuvée from a fourth-generation producer’s premier cru parcel. After tasting this graceful, polished red from the vintage Vinous is calling “a modern…
Gigondas is closing the gap on Châteauneuf-du-Pape, giving lovers of dense, rich, sun-soaked, and garrigue-tinged French blockbusters another region to fall head over heels for. The bad news—well, it’s that Gigondas is closing the gap on its big brother in the price department as well. It’s not uncommon to see the sticker price on top Gigondas…
At the very top of our member ratings sits a pantheon of the world’s great wines: Champagne Bollinger and Ornellaia are up there, as is Vega Sicilia’s $375 Único. And holding court with the above marquee bottlings at a fraction of the price is our top-rated French red: the Domaine du Gros ‘Noré Bandol Rouge….
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The name alone inspires awe among even the most cynical sommeliers and critics. The stone-strewn vineyard, perched atop Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Crau plateau, has been coaxing complex wines from its ancient vines since the 19th century, and when that expertise combines with yet another extraordinary vintage—Châteauneuf-du-Pape is on a serious roll—the…
Designated as a “Top Outstanding Value” by Burghound, the 2017 Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Les Crenilles is the kind of fabulous white Burgundy steal that many people will tell you no longer exists. But it’s on our radar, as well as that of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which called Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine “one of my favorite domaines in…
“Value Burgundy” is usually said just how it’s written here—with air quotes. While true that any sentence containing “value” and “Burgundy” is generally an oxymoron, there are still the occasional hidden gems that can be found for $30, like today’s 2017 Domaine Fabien Coche Bourgogne. It’s like anything worth discovering—you just have to know where…
The 2017 Domaine Faury-Gros Siebert Vineyard Pinot Noir is a California cult bottling in the making. It was made in a tiny five-barrel quantity from a single vineyard block, and it shows the restraint, nervous tension, and longevity you’d expect from top Vosné–Romanée. Word-of-mouth buzz around this release has been building, and Jeb Dunnuck’s 94-point…
Finding value in the hidden corners of the wine world is what gets us really excited. Sure, we love Grands Crus as much as the next guy, but what’s really satisfying is finding the unsung stars overflowing with deliciousness and with great stories behind them. Domaine Giraud Côtes-du-Rhône Les Sables d’Arène gives us that just-struck-gold…
Rhône lovers will know that a deep discount on top-tier Châteauneuf-du-Pape is practically unheard of. But with two Grand Veneur sellouts already on the Wine Access books, we were able to secure a remarkable 33% off this superstar wine. Whether you are a serious collector or a novice waiting for the right moment to ascend…
Saint-Aubin used to be the white-Burgundy lover’s secret weapon. The village, nestled above Chassagne-Montrachet, was once under the radar to all but insiders—despite the fact that its best wines boast the same striking minerality, beautiful texture, and stunning complexity as their much more expensive neighbors. These days the secret is out, but Bouzereau-Gruère’s 2017 Le…
Grivot’s parcel in the Échezeaux Grand Cru is located at the southern end, in the climat of Les Cruots. With its lifted floral note and anchored damp earth element, the 2017 boasts incredible complexity on both sides of its ripe dark cherry and blackberry core. It shows fantastic balance right from the beginning, and adds…
If the Pinot Noir wines from Domaine Nico haven’t made your list of “Must-Have” Top Burgundy producers, there’s one, perfectly logical reason: this “very seductive,” 2017 Grand Mère with its “wealth of richness,” may possess all the trappings of Grand Cru Burgundy, only, it doesn’t come from anywhere remotely near France (just don’t tell it…
Last weekend, we cancelled our plans after an impromptu offer landed in our inbox: An invitation for brunch at the home of Laura Catena, the leader of the Catena Zapata clan that single-handedly turned “Malbec” into a synonym for lush, silken reds the world over. We’ve known Laura for years, so we also knew she…
The effects of baguettes and espresso were wearing off on day four of crushing back-to-back tastings through the long, winding roads of the route nationale in Burgundy. Pascal Prunier had barely started his tasting with us before sensing that we needed some fresh air. His Cheshire-cat grin filled his cheeks when he said in his French…
Michel Chapoutier is one of the world’s greatest masters of Syrah. Thanks to his $300+ Hermitage wines, he holds 44 100-Point scores in Wine Advocate alone, nearly as many as Marcel Guigal and Jean-Louis Chave put together (45). When Chapoutier expanded to Australia, Robert Parker catapulted his project to international renown, calling Chapoutier’s first effort…
A bottle of old-school, gorgeous Côte d’Or craftsmanship that can be had for a rare old-fashioned deal, the lush waves of pear, buttercream, Brazil nut, and toast that the Domaine Thierry et Pascale Matrot Mersault delivers make it a pure delight. Wine Spectator lauded the 2017’s structure, while Jeb Dunnuck set it apart from the…
Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most storied villages in Burgundy—and the Trapet family is woven as tightly into the village’s finest fabric as any. Trapet has a history dating back to the 1870s, they’re one of the largest landholders in the Chambertin Grand Cru, and the prices their wines fetch speak to their status: Their…
With its 60-year-old vines providing impeccable concentration and depth, wines like this “brilliant” 2017 Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin are as classic as it gets in Burgundy, with pricing that’s anything but. A lighter and more graceful expression of Gevrey-Chambertin, with all the underlying muscle and density that typify the village, this classic Pinot Noir’s…
Just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is ground zero for white wine production in the Côte-d’Or. The best sites in Meursault emerge in the western slopes just outside the town, and continue up into steep hillsides, where shallow soils encourage vigor and vines turn out lime-citrus-driven, gorgeous, racy whites. …
Donnafugata’s Ben Ryé is as consistently stellar as it gets among sweet wines. Over the years, it’s collected a whole trophy room of 90+ scores and been called “one of Italy’s ten best sweet wines,” by Vinous. Even so, the 2017 stands out as phenomenal. With a prestigious Tre Bicchieri award and a 97-point score…
