The wines of Gérard Raphet are a Burgundy lover’s Burgundy. While the wine’s color in the glass is a delicate ruby, aromas and flavors surprise with their forceful intensity.

Frederic Magnien 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes
$94.99Cote de Nuits Cote d'Or Burgundy France
Burghound.com 91 Rating
There is enough reduction present to blur the underlying fruit. More interesting are the sleek, intense and delicious middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the lingering and moderately refined finale. This is a quality Chambolle villages and worth checking out. SP3-1 -
I Greppi 2021 Greppicaia Bolgheri Superiore
$69.99 – $360.00Tuscany Italy
Decanter 94 Rating
The 2021 Greppicaia includes a hefty dose of Petit Verdot, which lends richness and spice to the mix. Bold aromas of fresh red berries and some dried cherry introduce an intense and concentrated palate where the wood is currently in the front seat and the tannins have an overt, powdery texture. Creamy and peppery, there is nevertheless some succulent fruit lurking in the background and with time will emerge – the potential is certainly there in its long, fresh character and poised posture. Owned by Irish geologist, Dr Neil McMahon and his family since 2017, I Greppi has benefitted from his scientific approach, which includes a joint long-term research project with University of California, UC Davis, who also helped with the development of an on-site ’eno lab’…” 09/24 R23-1

Fattoria Colsanto 2013 Sagrantino di Montefalco
$39.99 – $210.00Umbria Italy
Vinous 92 Rating
An intense display of mocha, plum sauce, cloves, brown spice and earthen mineral tones wafts up from the 2013 Montefalco Sagrantino. This is a dark and concentrated effort that floods the palate in silky richness and ripe black fruits, as balsam herbs add lift and fine tannins saturate deeply toward the close. Tart cherries and hints of cocoa and tobacco linger through the dramatically long yet also youthfully structured finale. This power-packed Sagrantino is full of character, but it will require a few more years to fully flesh out. R3-7

Patz & Hall 2021 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay
$34.99 – $396.00Russian River Valley Sonoma California
Decanter Magazine 95 Rating
This Patz & Hall Chardonnay immediately gives the scent of golden kiwis and sponge cake with a marshmallow topper. It’s medium—to full-bodied with a chalky finish and great acid backbone. The Chardonnay has surprising flavours that are seemingly unrelated but meld fantastically together. It’s a surprising juxtaposition that adds dimension.

Domaine Serene 2018 Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay
$69.99Willamette Valley Oregon
James Suckling 96 Rating
Impressive complexity and poise from the outset with aromas of sliced peach and nectarine, as well as pear and honeydew. Some wet stones, too. The palate has impressive fluidity with intense, fleshy pears and white peaches, threaded with a savory, toasted-hazelnut edge. Drink or hold. SPA10-1 -
Domaine Saint-Damien 2017 “Cuvée Clovis Saurel” Gigondas
$59.99Southern Rhone Valley France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Another remarkable effort is the 2017 Gigondas Clovis Saurel, which is a single vineyard cuvée made from 100% Grenache. Rock star notes of kirsch and mulled dark fruits are intermixed with lots of sappy flowers and incense aromas and flavors. It's deep and full-bodied, with a wonderful sense of elegance and purity and ultra-fine tannins. It's going to benefit from a year or three of bottle age and cruise in cool cellars for 10-15 years.
