Jean-Louis Chave Selection 2018 Crozes-Hermitage Silene
$34.99Northern Rhone Valley France
Vinous 93 Rating
Inky ruby. Pungent, mineral-accented black and blue fruit qualities on the nose, along with hints of olive, licorice and peony that build in the glass. Supple and weighty on the palate, offering expansive blackberry and boysenberry flavors that become firmer with air. The floral note comes back strong on the penetrating finish, which shows outstanding persistence and fine-grained, well-knit tannins. 60% of this fruit was sourced from the granitic soils and steep slopes in the northern sector of the appellation and the other 40% came from the south, where the soils are lighter, based mostly on limestone clay and covered in large alluvial stones and smaller river rocks.

Jean-Marc Brocard 2022 Sainte Claire Chablis
$24.99 – $264.00Burgundy France
Decanter Magazine 93 Rating
Some of the vines here are over 70 years old. Even with a reticent, understated nose one can sense the energy and precision in this wine. There’s a lovely, creamy texture on the palate, with bright citrus notes and a long, lingering, savoury, mineral finish. A very fine example of Chablis which would compete very effectively against many a premier cru.

Lavau 2019 Gigondas
$21.99 – $108.00Southern Rhone Valley
Vinous 91 Rating
Saturated magenta. Deeply pitched dark berry and cherry liqueur scents, plus a hint of licorice and a touch of olive paste. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering spicy blueberry, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors and an energizing white pepper flourish. Clings nicely on the gently tannic finish, which echoes the blue fruit and spice notes.

A solid introduction to the reds from this appellation with stacks of blackberry fruit plus a generous and mellow personality, with earthy and spicy notes adding interest on the moderately dry palate. A cuvee of 80% grenache and 20% syrah. Sustainable. Vegan.

Les Vins de Vienne 2018 Condrieu La Chambée
$59.99Northern Rhone Valley France
For fans of the Viognier grapes, no appellation is better in my opinion than Condrieu. When allowed to express itself and not over burdened with oak, this is a gorgeous yet delicate wine. Light golden in color. The nose is so pretty with white flowers, quince and peach. On the palate, this dances across the tongue. It is delicious with the quince and peach coming thru along with underlying minerality. While this should drink well for another five years, this is a wine that rewards drinking young. R17-1 -
Louis Dumont Brut Rose Champagne Epernay
$34.99 – $180.00Champagne France
The Champagne house of the Dumont family is situated on 23 hectares in Champignol-lez-Mondeville, in a village in the southern Champagne region of the Aube, some 90 miles southeast of Reims and Epernay. The Dumont Brut Rose is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. A selection is made in the vineyard from parcels that are particularly ripe and from bunches with deeply colored skins. Fermentation proceeds as with red wines but the wine is drawn off the skins after a day or so with the Dumont family looking carefully at the balance of extraction, color and tannin. This method, known as “saignee”, is a tricky art but one that can produce the most natural and delicately complex style of Rose champagne. Dosage ~10 grams.
