- Bouchard Pere et Fils Le Corton Grand Cru 2016WA91-93$164.98Availability:In Stock
91-93 Points! The 2016 Corton Grand Cru comes from red clay soils that are just 80 centimeters deep before you hit the limestone bedrock. It has a finely tuned bouquet with cranberry, raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents, crushed roses developing with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, brisk and tensile from start to finish and then pulling back so as not to overdo the finish. This is a case of less is more in a wine and it is likely to surpass the 2015 Corton. - Neal Martin, robertparker.com

95 Points! The 2016 Noces de Craies Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Extra Brut is made from 100% Pinot Noir from Grand Cru Ay and was disgorged on 16 March 2021. It offers a compelling perfume of orange blossoms, almond croissant, and spiced apple slices with touches of jasmine tea, fresh ginger, and chalk dust. The palate is open-knit, expressive, and expansive with layers of candied nuts, brioche, and baked apple inspired flavors, framed by very fine, frisky bubbles, finishing with a cerebral chalkiness. Very classy, it has the structure and intensity to age gracefully over the next 12-15 years+. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

94+ Points! The Contratto 2016 Alta Langa Metodo Classico Rosé Pas Dosé For England shows pretty color saturation with an elegant pink hue and hints of shiny copper. This wine made exclusively with Pinot Noir offers a heavier center of gravity and more fruit weight, with spicy and tonic beading on the close. This more full-bodied style allows for plenty of orchard fruit, crushed mineral and some baked bread. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

- Georges Noellat Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2016BH91-94WA93VM91-94$239.98Availability:In Stock93 Points! The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass to offer up a youthfully reserved bouquet of blackberries, cherries, plums, grilled game bird, rich soil and smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and voluptuous, with a succulent core of fruit, vibrant fruit flavors and a fine-grained framing of structuring tannins. It's appreciably more reserved than earlier renditions of this cuvée, perhaps because Maxime Cheurlin now has an air-conditioned cellar and is maturing his wine for two winters in barrel. It will be interesting to follow its evolution over the coming decade. - William Kelley, robertparker.comLearn MoreHURRY, ONLY 1 LEFT!
- Georges Noellat Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras 2016WA91-93VM91-93$139.98Availability:In Stock91-93 Points! The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras was more backward on the nose compared to the domaine’s other 2016s, partly because it underwent a late malolactic, according to Maxime Chuerlin. The palate is medium-bodied with candied red berry fruit on the entry mixed with cassis and ink. I appreciate the grainy structure here, but it is more backward and sultry than Maxime’s other barrel samples at the moment. That said, it is clearly well defined and harmonious on the finish, and it should develop with style once in bottle. - Neal Martin, Wine AdvocateLearn MoreHURRY, ONLY 2 LEFT!
- Georges Noellat Nuits Saint Georges 2016$64.98Availability:In Stock(mostly from Au Bas de Combe): Deep red-ruby. Aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice pastille complicated by a hint of coffee torrefaction. Still a touch of reduction to its youthfully bound-up flavors of black fruits, licorice and spices. Finishes with noteworthy length and a firm tannic backbone for village wine. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 2 LEFT!

- Georges Noellat Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains 2016WA90-92$79.98Availability:In Stock90-92 Points! The inaugural 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains, cropped between 10 to 12 hectoliters per hectare because of the frost, has a refined bouquet with blackberry and wild strawberry scents. There is an appealing brightness here, quite vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, very harmonious with a charming, pure, silky smooth finish that is a pure joy. Bravo Maxime—this is a fine debut. - Neal Martin, robertparker.com Learn MoreHURRY, ONLY 4 LEFT!
