Domaine Comte Abbatucci
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A nod to the island’s rich history of viticulture, the Général is simply a stunning bottle of white wine.

Hippolyte Reverdy
France | Loire | Sancerre
The rarest of the Reverdy cuvées, Ortus was really an invention at the urging of Kermit, who has a fondness for Sauvignon with full malolactic fermentation, aged in wood, bottled unfiltered, generally treated like a white Burgundy.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
France | Burgundy | Romanée-Saint-Vivant
With some age, this will develop into one of the most gorgeous Pinot Noirs to ever grace your glass.
Domaine Les Mille Vignes France | Languedoc-Roussillon
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Late-harvest wines of this quality in Alsace take incredible skill to make. This is a supremely beautiful example of a harmonious, highly successful partnership between man and nature.
Kuentz-Bas
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Pfersig means “peach,” and the wine’s subtle whispers of white peach are adorable, and then the bouquet keeps growing more expansive, more intense, grander.
Domaine Robert-Denogent
France | Burgundy | Pouilly-Fuissé
Farming incredibly old vines in the region’s top terroirs, brothers Antoine and Nico at Robert-Denogent are stars of the Maconnais.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy | Pommard 1er Cru
Powerful, round, and built to last a long, long time.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils France | Burgundy | Pommard
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Boxler’s regal Pinot Gris—in this case, sourced exclusively from his grand cru Brand holdings—captures the essence of Pinot Gris in all of its textural glory.

Domaine Les Mille Vignes
France | Languedoc-Roussillon
On the palate: round, shapely, a slight bitterness like bay leaf, a salinity from the nearby sea, and great freshness.
Antoine Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Just when I think I've seen it all, this wine comes along and surprises me! It's not a typical rosé, nor is it a typical light red wine. Instead, it occupies a wonderful space between the two!
Antoine-Marie Arena
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
The only Arena cuvée to see barrel-aging features the domaine’s oldest vines.
Domaine Giudicelli
France | Corsica | Patrimonio
Muriel Giudicelli’s Patrimonio rouge is elegant, deep, bursting with ripe black fruits, silky smooth, and offering great length.

Antoine Arena France | Corsica | Muscat du Cap Corse
Domaine Michel Brégeon
France | Loire | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
When you smell it, keep in mind that no other wine, besides a Melon de Bourgogne grown in the gabbro soil of Gorges, could possibly smell like this one does.
Domaine Taupenot-Merme
France | Burgundy | Mazoyères Chambertin
More Morey-like than the Charmes, with more muscle and spice. The grandest and longest-aging wine in this collection.
Château Belles-Graves
France | Bordeaux | Lalande-de-Pomerol
A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins.
Albert Boxler France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace Grand Cru
The nose just jumps out of the glass in a blaze of spicy, honeyed glory.
Domaine Boillot France | Burgundy | Gevrey-Chambertin
Domaine Rousset-Martin France | Jura | Côtes du Jura
Clos Canarelli
France | Corsica | Corse Figari
A uniquely Corsican granite grain with summer maquis aromatics
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
France | Burgundy | Clos de Vougeot
When life gets you down, this wine reminds you that there’s greatness in this world.
Charles Joguet
France | Loire | Chinon
The singularity and beauty of Chenin Blanc really shines with a bit of age, which is what makes this wine so special to enjoy now.
Clos Canarelli
France | Corsica | Vin de France
A testament to the enormous potential of Biancu Gentile, with added complexity from bottle age.
Comtesse de Chérisey
France | Burgundy | Beaune 1er Cru
Without hesitation, this is the best red Burgundy I have tasted this year.
