E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 2018
Cote-Rotie
January 08, 2026 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline comes from the oldest vineyard site in the appellation, with terraces dating back 2,400 years. Acquired in 1963, it was the Guigals’ first single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie, with the debut vintage released in 1966. The one-hectare vineyard sits on the Côte Blonde and is planted with about 11% Viognier, contributing to the wine’s lifted aromatics and signature elegance. With vines averaging 90 years old, La Mouline is known for its expressive, silky style—often considered the most graceful of Guigal’s iconic trio.
Château Recougne Rouge 2022
Bordeaux Superieur
January 05, 2026 - Legend has it that Château Recougne earned its name in “recognition” by Henri IV in the early 1600s. Wine has been made here for 400 years, yet the estate feels more relevant than ever. As Bordeaux shifts toward freshness and balance, Recougne has quietly stayed the course, producing pure, energetic wines with red and black fruit and earthy complexity. Bottles from the 1950s and ’60s still drink beautifully. Today, fourth-generation winemaker Marc Milhade carries the torch, focusing on vineyard work and maintaining a low-intervention approach in the cellar.
James Suckling -January 23, 2025 "Ripe dark berries, ground cloves and licorice on the nose, with a subtle stony character. Tight and chewy, with a medium body, firm tannins and a bitter, spiced, walnuty finish."
E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Blanc 2024
Saint-Joseph
January 05, 2026 - E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Blanc comes from the renowned “Saint-Joseph” vineyard, the source that inspired the Guigals to focus on restoring the appellation’s prestigious reputation. Made in minuscule quantities, the Lieu Dit Blanc is one of the most original and distinctive whites in the Rhone.
Wine Advocate -May 21, 2026 "The 2024 Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph Blanc, crafted entirely from Marsanne, opens with aromas of grilled almonds, subtle smoke and a touch of reduction. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it…
E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane 2024
Condrieu
January 05, 2026 - E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane is a luxury cuvée that showcases the unique character of Condrieu, the ancestral home of the Viognier grape. In the mid-20th century, Condrieu faced near extinction, with only 20 acres of Viognier remaining. Guigal played a key role in revitalizing the appellation, today vinifying nearly one-third of its production. La Doriane is a richly oaked, fruit-forward wine when young, transforming over 3-4 years into a complex, aromatic, and vibrant wine that defies the typical belief that Condrieu cannot age.
Wine Advocate -May 21, 2026 "The 2024 Condrieu La Doriane, vinified and matured entirely in barrel, is sourced from parcels in Côteau de Chéry, Côteau de Vernon, Colombier, Côte Chatillon and Château de Volan. It…
Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc 1er Cru 2023
Beaune 1er Cru
December 17, 2025 - Clos des Mouches is one of Beaune's most celebrated Premier Cru climats, and Domaine Chanson is among its most significant owners, with 4.3 hectares across the site. The name itself is a point of intrigue: "mouches" refers not to flies but to bees, a nod to the hives once kept here by the monks who first cultivated the land. The Blanc occupies 2.2 hectares on the upper part of the hill, where the east-facing slope catches the morning sun and the limestone subsoil covered with sand drives a wine of real precision and freshness.
Wine Spectator -December 15, 2025 "Butter, honey, peach and lemon curd flavors mark this creamy white. Lively acidity keeps this evolving on the palate, while the finish delivers baking spice notes. "
Wine Enthusiast -September 01, 2026 "Elegant and aromatic on the nose, with perfectly ripe citrus, white peach, and acacia offering captivating purity. Nicely weighted and round on the palate, ample acidity coaxes out layers of…
James Suckling -May 27, 2025 "Aromas of flint, lemon peel, river stones, orchard fruit and salted nuts. The palate is focused, with vivid acidity and generous underlying power that bring a complete and slightly saline…
Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Magis 2022
Chateauneuf-du-Pape
December 11, 2025 - Another unsurprising but jawdropping discovery when encountering the Saouma wines: Magis, Mounir’s white Chateauneuf from the heavily limestone Pierredon vineyard in Bedarrides. It makes sense that a producer of great white Burgundy would quickly become enchanted by the possibilities here. Only 3% of Chateauneuf is white, and virtually all of it is bottled after 6 months. Mounir’s chateauneuf is aged 18-24 months and has already been compared to some of the great white Burgundy crus for its depth and minerality.
Wine Spectator -December 09, 2025 "A distinctive, singular style, with tangy, salty layers of apple and melon powered by succulent lemon-lime acidity. Silky and finessed, wafting with smoke and flint on the close."
Attems Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Venezia Giulia IGT
December 11, 2025 - Attems Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of Collio DOC, offering varietal elegance, fragrance, and freshness. Hand-harvested from 20-year-old vines planted in marl and sandstone soils cooled by Bora winds, it undergoes gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation, followed by four months of lees aging. The wine shows a lush, ripe fruit character with bright acidity and medium body, revealing aromas of tomato leaf, kiwi, and verbena, with flavors of white grapefruit, bread crust, mint, and lime in a long, savory finish.
James Suckling -July 18, 2025 "A clean and crisp white wine featuring fresh apples, lemon zest and subtle hints of fine herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and a zesty, mineral finish."
Ornellaia Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia 2023
Toscana IGT
December 11, 2025 - Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most innovative and progressive white wines, providing an altogether different experience of the Ornellaia estate and its Mediterranean influences.
James Suckling -July 23, 2025 "A smoky and leafy wine with orange peel, sage and mint aromas. Medium-bodied, it shows density, white peach flavors, crisp acidity and a lean finish."
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2022
Cote-Rotie
December 10, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque was replanted in 1980 and '81 after the family acquired the site through their purchase of Vidal-Fleury. Though dormant for decades, Etienne Guigal remembered the quality of wines once made from this vineyard and led its revival, starting in 1985. La Turque occupies a unique position on the Côte Brune with soils that give the wine a rich, exotic character. Stylistically, it bridges the power of La Landonne and the elegance of La Mouline, combining intensity with seductive finesse.
Jeb Dunnuck -May 09, 2025 "Darker and more inward, cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violets define the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Turque, and it picks up more gamey, smoky, black olive notes with air.…

Jeb Dunnuck -May 09, 2025 "Black raspberries, wildflowers, and bacon fat emerge from the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Mouline, which has an exotic yet dark, rich, and powerful profile. Based on 89% Syrah and 11%…
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2022
Cote-Rotie
December 10, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is a bold, muscular expression of the Côte Brune, known for its structure, intensity, and ageability. Marcel Guigal pieced together this vineyard over a decade, buying small parcels from 17 growers before replanting it in 1975—the year of Philippe Guigal’s birth. Its steep 45-degree slope and late-ripening position at the northern end of the Côte Brune yield fruit of remarkable depth. First produced in 1978, La Landonne is the darkest and most powerful of the LaLa wines, offering a striking contrast to the finesse of La Mouline.
Jeb Dunnuck -May 09, 2025 "Another level of complexity emerges from the 2022 Côte Rôtie La Landonne, offering blackberries, currants, wood smoke, cured meats, and leather-like nuances This powerful, concentrated, straight-up massive Côte Rôtie (100%…

Sourced from seven top lieu-dits on both the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde and aged 38 months in new oak, it rivals the LaLas in quality. The wine is named for historic château dating back to the 11th century, restored by Marcel Guigal after he purchased it in 1995. Reviving the estate’s name, the Guigals crafted a wine that reflects both their signature style and the enduring prestige of Côte-Rôtie.
Jeb Dunnuck -May 09, 2025 "The 2022 Côte Rôtie Château D'Ampuis brings another level of classic character, showing black raspberries, spring flowers, game, and olive tapenade. A blend of 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier from…
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2022
Cote-Rotie
December 10, 2025 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde embodies the legacy of Marcel Guigal, who single-handedly elevated this historically significant wine region to global prominence. The Northern Rhône, the birthplace of wine civilization, is home to vineyards first planted by Romans 2,500 years ago, producing wines with an unmatched depth and complexity. Guigal's relentless dedication to quality and detail has transformed Côte-Rôtie into one of the world’s most compelling and sought-after appellations. With their distinctive, exotic profile, these wines are world class.

Frescobaldi Gorgona Gorgona 2024
Costa Toscana IGT

Le Macchiole Scrio 2022
Toscana IGT
December 08, 2025 - This deep, spicy red was first produced in 1994, and the inspiration for its creation was the desire to produce a 100% Syrah, one of Le Macchiole’s favorite grapes. Rare and original and produced in very small quantities, Scrio quickly became a benchmark in Bolgheri. The name of the wine, inspired by a Tuscan expression that means “pure, candid, whole,” perfectly describes its defining characteristics.
Wine Spectator -July 26, 2025 "A vibrant, intense red, whose blackberry, blueberry, violet and black pepper flavors are driven by vivid acidity. There are dense tannins, too, finely wrought and adding support on the finish.…
Wine Enthusiast -November 01, 2025 "The nose glistens with aromas of blackberries, blueberries, top soil, new leather and herbs, while the palate is tangy and bouncy with tart berries, plum skin and citrus. Chewy, dense…

Le Macchiole Messorio 2022
Toscana IGT
December 05, 2025 - Messorio is Le Macchiole’s crown jewel and one of Italy’s most iconic Merlots. First produced in 1994, it marked a daring shift in Bolgheri, where blending was the norm and single-variety wines were nearly unheard of. That bold decision became a defining one. Messorio is soulful and expressive, with a texture like silk and layers of finesse that unfold slowly in the glass. The name refers to the wheat harvest, once the most important time of year in Bolgheri. Today, that honor goes to the grape harvest, especially when it yields a wine like this.
Wine Spectator -June 11, 2025 "Purity is the hallmark of this vibrant, black cherry–, blackberry- and violet-flavored red. Solidly built, with refined tannins that will require time to integrate, yet overall this is balanced and…

James Suckling -May 08, 2025 "A dark and restrained wine with mint, balsamic, cassis and graphite aromas. The full-bodied palate is smooth and velvety, with crisp acidity, extracted yet ripe tannins and flavors of dark…

Mendoza
December 02, 2025 - Finca Decero’s Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot is a limited-production wine that showcases the unique character of this lesser-known variety. Sourced from the coarse, low-vigour soils of the Remolinos Vineyard, it offers a rich, full-bodied profile with juicy dried berry flavors, hints of shaved chocolate, and tea.

Wine Enthusiast -July 01, 2025 "The Mini Ediciones series includes wines from grapes that are not as popular in Argentina as Malbec. This is a Petit Verdot from the Agrelo sub-region in Luján de Cuyo…
