Peak Pommard

New Arrivals from Domaine de Courcel
“one of Pommard’s grandest domaines” – Jasper Morris, MW 
The Domaine de Courcel traces its lineage back 400 years, but don’t let it distract you from the fact that they’re making some of the finest wines in Pommard.  These are thrilling, traditionally-made bottles from some of the best parcels in the Cote de Beaune and their top two wines (which we just received and are offering today) are Grand Cru in everything but name.

This is a classic Cote de Blancs Champagne.  Minerally, rich and compelling, it’s tragically overlooked in the world of grower Blanc de Blancs but deserves to be on your New Year’s table. – Suzanne

Collector’s Corner

Hudelot-Noellat’s Insider Vosne + Chambolle
Hudelot-Noëllat has remained a true insider’s secret in Burgundy—a venerable domaine with great holdings whose pricing has yet to catch up with the quality and rarity of their wines.  The current winemaking team has pushed Hudelot-Noëllat to new heights and the wines are still values, even if they are expensive.

At first glance, it may seem odd to call a wine priced in the many hundreds of dollars a value.  Yet, when we talk about the very top tier of Burgundy, this sort of conversation gets common.

Charles Heidsieck:

Weekend Subscriber Special
We’ve got a price on Charles Heidsieck’s Brut Reserve that’s so good, we can’t list it online.  This is a fantastic, NV Champagne from a truly classic Grande Marque house that’s a great deal at our normal (quite good) price of $49—but for $10 less you’re going to want to stock up.  This $39 per bottle price is valid for you (email subscribers) only and won’t display in our webstore, but we’ll manually adjust pricing before we run your credit card.

New Beaux Freres (and More!)

Beaux Freres is one of the Great Names in Oregon wine—one of the wineries that helped put the Willamette Valley on the map.  Big, rich wines with lots of character (plus a familial relation to the Mayor of Monkton) mean that these wines were some of the earliest sought-after wines from our corner of the wine world.  They show all their Ribbon Ridge character in their textures and power—these are no shrinking violets.
