Domaine du Grand Tinel’s Alexis Establet is a classic of the region, composed of 100% Grenache drawn entirely from an ancient-vine plot known as La Gardiole, where the bushes exceed a century in age. First crafted in 1993, this bottling is made only in the best vintages—and according to Jeb Dunnuck, the 2019 “might be…
There is no imposing château at Domaine Durand. No reception desk and no PR staff. In fact, we tracked down the Durand frères in the town of Châteaubourg (pop. 211) by spotting their worn shingle hanging in a narrow alleyway. We ducked our heads and stepped into the tiny subterranean tasting room, where Éric and…
“Look for the new generation.” That’s what a seasoned importer told us back in our earliest days in wine, when everything grand and classic was much cheaper than now but still WAY out of our reach. Any house with a reputation already had a price to match, but if you could find a young, driven…
Just one sip reveals the mouthwatering 2019 Hubert Brochard Tradition to be as classic and irresistible as Sancerre gets. But with prices continuing to skyrocket due to the category’s soaring popularity, this value price adds a whole new level of gotta-have-it to an already stellar bottle. “If your palate were a racetrack, this would be Formula…
The 2019 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu is a wine of singular achievement—full-figured yet crystalline, powerful but unpretentious, it shines among the brightest of today’s superstar whites. Sotheby’s has called Huet “the benchmark for [Chenin Blanc’s] potential.” It’s ageworthy, loveable, and exceptional in every way. Parker’s Wine Advocate gave this remarkable wine a 95-point rave, calling…
Justin Girardin possesses a princely set of advantages. His family has been a presence in Burgundy for 700 years and his close connection to his uncle Vincent, a world-renowned négociant, opens plenty of doors. On top of that, he inherited 42 prime acres in top villages such as Pommard and Chassagne-Montrachet, whose secrets he learned…
On a bright and cloudless Napa Valley afternoon last week, we met up with some of our best friends in the wine business. It was a joyous reunion, and since we hadn’t seen most of them in person in more than a year, there were hearty handshakes and hugs all around. Then the 2019 Domaine…
Raoul Gautherin’s spellbinding, extraordinarily refined Vieilles Vignes Chablis is one of the most memorable and delicious bottles we’ve tasted in years. A picture of Chardonnay purity from one of Burgundy’s greatest vintages of all time—a season that Wine Enthusiast rated 95 points—Gautherin’s 2019 Vieille Vignes is a selection from their oldest Chablis vineyards. While it…
“Is this the finest estate in Gigondas?” That’s what Robert Parker once wondered about Domaine Santa Duc, and true to form, he answered his own question: “Santa Duc has emerged in just over a decade as the number one estate for quality in Gigondas,” turning out bottlings that combine “the muscle, richness and fire of…
We go to France with a list of must-visit wineries and must-get wines—but our greatest discoveries are often made in between appointments, at side-street bistros. That’s where we discovered an aromatic, succulent white that just about every sommelier we know in the States would kill to put on their wine list. After the night of…
Weinbach’s estate Riesling is one of the star values in great wine: a racy, mineral, bottling from their famed Clos des Capucins vineyard, first planted in 1612—yes, you read that right—and given the same love and attention as the their $80+ Grand Cru bottlings. It’s argument number one for why Alsace is the epicenter of…
For dedicated Barolo fans, Domenico Clerico is one of those names you mention with a hand raised to the heart. Wine Advocate said the label makes “emotional, moving wines.” Vinous’ Antonio Galloni cited Clerico as formative to his love affair with Piedmont. The single-vineyard Ginestra Ciabot Mentin is their calling card, a powerhouse wine that…
We can’t get enough of the full-throttle power and savory, spicy seduction of Ribera del Duero’s famed reds. Too often, though, it involves shelling out triple-digit prices for flagship wines like Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Enter the 2019 Dominio de Atauta La Celestina Crianza. Grown in a vintage the Regulatory Board of the Ribera del…
In the 2019 vintage, a whopping 19 of Wine Advocate’s top 24 California Chardonnays came from just four producers. You know the names—and you can bet most, if not all, will cost you well into triple digits. That’s why Dragonette Cellars, which Antonio Galloni of Vinous dubbed “truly world-class,” has been one of our go-to…
We’ve been waiting for the world to stand up and take notice of Dragonette Cellars—and their 2019 Chardonnay Rita’s Crown might just be the bottle that makes it happen. With a staggering 96+ point score, this gorgeous Chardonnay boasts the highest rating Dragonette has ever earned from Wine Advocate. It’s an honor that puts this…
We’re never going to pass up the chance to visit Dragonette Cellars: They’re not just friends, but one of the great wineries of the Sta. Rita Hills. The winery is best known for stunning $65 single-vineyard offerings from top sites like Rita’s Crown and Duvarita, but co-winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gillis lights up when you ask him…
Cabernet Franc is en fuego. In Napa Valley, the grapes sell for around $10,000 per ton, 20% more than Cabernet Sauvignon’s average. The wines of Saint-Émilion are as popular as ever, and who could have predicted that the Loire’s Clos Rougeard would one day fetch over $500? Argentina’s embrace of the grape is a relatively…
Look—we know we’re not alone in our love for E. Guigal. But we don’t revere the Rhône icon just for their priceless reds. We revere them because everything they bottle—from their $400+ La Las to their modest Côtes-du-Rhônes—leaves us marveling at how they do what they do so well. Their 2019 Crozes-Hermitage is a perfect…
Saint-Joseph offers some of the top values in the Northern Rhône. Its best vineyards are hills that remind us of Hermitage—the most famous and expensive terroir in the Rhône—on a smaller scale. Guigal Saint-Joseph blanc is 95% Marsanne, the dominant white grape of Hermitage, and hails mainly from two of the most legendary estates in…
The hardest thing for a wine to do is blow past our already-high expectations. Which, to put it mildly, is the 2019 El Enemigo Chardonnay in a nutshell. Tasting with star winemaker Alejandro Vigil in Argentina last week, we knew the wines would be good—he’s got 100-point scores to his name and helms Catena as…
