We Are Happy to Offer
Two remarkable, classic producers from the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits. Both Bitouzet Prieur and Jean Chauvenet have historic, blessed holdings in their respective regions and their wines are the benchmark to which all should strive. These are wines that truly lift our spirits and sing the promise that Spring is Coming!
White Wine from Cote de Beaune
2011 Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres $447 6pack
Magnums $162 each
“Sweet Spot Outstanding”—Burghound, 92 Points AG
Perhaps the consistently greatest white wine from Bitouzet-Prieur, the “Perrieres” is firmly mineral, quite spicy elegant; a great wine of class and breed with remarkable density and a wine of extraordinary potential. Two barrels are reserved for the US market; magnums are rare!
Red Wine from Cote de Nuits
2012 Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits St Georges $336 6pack
Magnums $130 each
“Outstanding Top Value”—Burghound
A classic version of the appellation. The average age of the vineyards that compose this cuvee is 45 years. A deeply colored wine with vivacity; somewhat stern in its youth but with excellent balance and black fruit flavours. Our advice is to grab some magnums fast!!!
2012 Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits St Georges Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Perrieres
$588 6pack
“Outstanding” —Burghound
We have the pleasure of accessing wine from the regal cru of “Perrieres”, a profoundly stony site that produces a wine of great breed and class, a wine with a fine capacity to age. One of the most elegant and intellectual wines of this part of the Cote de Nuits.
2012 Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains
$720 6pack
“Outstanding”—Burghound
The “grand cru” of this domaine; recognized as one of the most glorious sites within the appellation, the Chauvenet holdings here are old and produce a wine that embodies all of the wonders of Nuits Saint Georges; there is a deep fruitiness with both black and red fruits on exhibit, an earthiness that manages to be compelling and also elegant, all set upon a background of robust tannins that support a weighty but athletic wine; a wine that rewards substantial cellaring.
