Montezemolo 2019 Monfalleto Barolo
95 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2019 Vintage):
"The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore."
The Nebbiolo that comes off this property is some of the best in La Morra. Even in challenging vintages the Monfalletto terroir yields Nebbiolo that is both powerful and supple. Insiders know that this is one of the best terroirs in Barolo. The 2019 vintage is perhaps its best yet, with stellar ratings across the board - it captures the true essence of the Langhe region.

Ricco Bambino 2018 Sauvignon Blanc
The flamingo on the label invites you to join them in paradise, with vibrant notes of citrus fruit, including zesty grapefruit and ripe lemon, mingling with hints hay field and tropical passionfruit.
Each sip is a burst of vitality, as crisp acidity dances on the palate, awakening the senses with a symphony of flavors.
Chatelet 2018 Hautes Cotes De Nuits
Look for red fruit (strawberry and cherry) and hints of violets and spice. Fine, medium- bodied tannins on the palate with soft and refreshing acidity round out this savoury Burgundian red. Utterly delicious on its own and versatile with food.
For wine lovers looking for that rare bottle of Red Burgundy that truly over delivers for the price. This Pinot Noir will stand out on the shelf for being one of the very few offerings under $45.00
Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Tardive 2021
"Coudert's brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth." - 95 Points Wine Advocate (2018 Vintage), August 2019
Ortega Ezquerro Don Quintin Rioja Blanca 2018
Domaine Pelle Menetou-Salon Morogues 2018
Made from several parcels in the village of Morogues. Practicing organic, soils are plowed and completely hand-harvested. Aged in a combo of 70% tank and 30% wood (foudres and used 400L barrels) and for 11 months.
A classic style that is released ready to drink. Quite aromatic on the nose with a rich and powerful palate, quite full bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc and makes a great alternative to Sancerre.

100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
Drouhin 2018 Puligny Montrachet 1Er
A beautiful harmony, a precious wine. The color is golden and bright. The complex aromas of Puligny-Montrachet: honey, honeysuckle, fresh almond, evolving towards notes of lightly grilled dried fruits and spices. On the palate, a beautiful balance between freshness and softness. A few notes of tannins give structure to the building. The length in the mouth is exceptional, all in finesse and floral notes.
