“Collotte remains one of the most under the radar growers in Marsannay. At their best, these wines are striking for their purity of fruit and overall sense of harmony.” –Antonio Galloni
We’ve carried the wines from Phillipe Collotte for a few years now and each release reminds us of both what a star he is and how good the wines from Marsannay and Fixin can be.
E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Dolcetto d’Alba, Piedmont 2014 750ML ($21.95) $14 March Clearance Sale special, only 13 bottles available!
Of the twenty-plus cases we originally ordered of the 2015 Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage Domaine Thalabert, we sold all but a handful of bottles before anything even hit the shelf. (What little that did arrive for the shelf sold out quickly, too.) As a result, we’ve had a lot of requests to re-order that, up until now, we’ve been unable to fulfil. 
VinopolNote “This wine sees the same elevage as the two single vineyard Chardonnays (Abbey Ridge & Clos Electrique). With no new oak to hide behind, the character of the two vineyards, Abbey Ridge and Clos Electrique, is in full force-though with a little less complexity than the single vineyard offerings. This wine represents one of the best values in Oregon Chardonnay.”
