Canard-Duchene has the sophisticated quality at a great value. It has become our new house champagne for Rosé!
Situated in the heart of the Champagne vineyards, Canard-Duchene was founded in 1868 by barrel maker Canard and winemaker Duchene and is regarded today as one of the most prominent Grand Marques in Champagne, for a time owned by LVMH and now part of the Alain Thienot Group.
Happy to Offer

| 2009 vs 2010 may turn out to be as debatable among wine lovers as the seminal vintages 1959 vs 1961. We experienced the same dilemma tasting these two elegant La Fleur de Bouards side by side today with the winemaker. You be the judge, take home a 6pack of each and have some fun! This state-of-the-art winery works entirely by gravity. “This estate is the reference point for the highest quality attainable in Lalande de Pomerol” Robert Parker
2009 La Fleur de Bouard $420 6pack93 Points Robert Parker “Over-achievers in short, the 2009 La Fleur de Bouard is fabulous, with notes of blueberry, plum, licorice, white flowers and camphor followed by a full-bodied, well-endowed, textured, supple wine. Stunningly concentrated, yet silky and seductive, it should be drunk over the next 10+ years.” 2010 La Fleur de Bouard $360 6pack92 Points Robert Parker “beautifully pure, voluptuously textured, rich, long and hedonistic and satisfying. Drink it over the next 10+ years.” Also available, the estate’s luxury cuvee ~ the 100% Merlot that is bottled unfined and unfiltered. 2010 La Fleur de Bouard Le Plus $1200 6pack94+ Points Robert Parker “This is a beauty, a full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal Lalande de Pomerol that is impossible to believe comes from a less heralded appellation. The standard of excellence for Lalande de Pomerol is Hubert de Bouard’s 50-acre property, over half of it located on the highly prized Neac plateau, which consists of clay, sand and gravel sub-soils.” |

New Burgundy Releases!
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.

Show Off Your Magnum Size Love This Valentine’s Day!
You will definitely get lucky holding a sexy Trimbach Torpedo!
2007 was a miracle vintage for Trimbach: a warm spring and a beautiful harvest season resulting in top, dry, precise wines. Pierre Trimbach (11th generation to continue the purist vision for this exceptional terroir) considers this vintage one of the best ever produced in Alsace.
Magnums 2007 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile $140 each
Dry, bone dry, precise, pure, with some beautiful ripe fruits. Let’s say a true Frédéric Emile as you love it! Start to drink it or keep it for ages. 18/20 Jancis Robinson
Magnums 2007 Riesling Clos Ste Hune $440 each
is more than promising: it is already gorgeous and giving a lot. Deep intensity with some mineral shades, characteristic from the wine. It’s a Riesling for aging and for gastronomy, it will be at the top in a few years from now…19/20 by Jancis Robinson
96 Points Wine Advocate
“Trimbach’s 2007 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune displays genuine intrigue in its array of floral, mineral and animal shadings focusing on narcissus, musk, shimmering crystalline stoniness, alkalinity, and savory salinity. Grapefruit and orange are tinged with juniper berry, quinine, as well as hints of white truffle that enhance the resemblance to 1996 (although Trimbachs compare this with their 2001). And while less austere than the corresponding Frederic Emile, this is no less penetratingly or exhilaratingly long. An amazingly extract- and energy-rich, kaleidoscopically multi-faceted Ste-Hune, it should be absorbing to follow for a quarter century or more. I cannot recall a collection at this address that was more consistently fine.”
Be Ready for Valentine’s Day!

Along with D’Angerville, Gouges, and Rousseau, Tollot-Beaut was a pioneering Burgundian who started producing and bottling their own wines in the early part of the 20th Century, their first domaine bottling being 1921. Natalie is the fifth generation to run the cellars that are over 250 years old.
Happy to Offer
2010 Domaine Tollot Beaut Beaune Greves Premier Cru $360 6pack
92 Points Bruce Sanderson WIne Spectator “The high quality can be attributed to the high proportions of old vines from the Pinot Fin strain, a very old and delicate Pinot Noir variety considered the most desirable for quality…Rich andopulent for the vintage, showing black cherry, blackberry and spice flavors. Picks up a mineral accent as the vibrant acidity focuses the finish, with an aftertaste of oak spice. Open and racy. Best from 2016 through 2030. Only 45 cases imported!”
