Felettig Chambolle-Musigny "Clos du Village" 2011 (316291)

750ml

$49.95

Pre-arrival, 12+ available

Last year when we first introduced Domaine Felettig to the US market, they were a virtual unknown. Yet, with no US press, we sold our entire allocation in just one day. Fact is, Chambolle at this price simply doesn't exist anymore. Despite incredible holdings, it was only after Henri Felettig recently handed control over to his son and daughter, Gilbert and Christine, that things began to change. With the assistance of neighbor Louis-Michel Liger-Belair in the vineyards, their raw material vastly improved and the wines took off. In the cuvérie, they began employing minimal intervention and new oak is kept to 40% for the 1er Crus and 20-30% for the appellation Villages. The resulting wines are at once pure, dense and energetic, reminiscent of a hypothetical cross between Mugnier and Roumier. Every wine importer in the country is trying to get a piece of them after John Gilman recently wrote them up as "the next big thing," but our direct sourcing, we are able to offer them at exceptional pricing.

Tasting notes: From a tiny plot next to the church sandwiched between Feusselottes and Les Cras, this is more structured than the "regular" Chambolle, but with more finesse and longevity.

Tasting notes: At 3.0 ha, this is by far their largest holding. A blend of several vineyards, this is quintessential Chambolle combining both elegance and finesse at an unheard of tariff.

Tasting notes: This is the only bottling of Carrières on the market and exhibits a unique spiciness we've yet to detect elsewhere in Chambolle. Highly recommended.

Tasting notes: Located in the heart of Chambolle, Combottes is a tiny vineyard Felettig shares with Ghislaine Barthod and Christophe Roumier and is rarely seen on the market.

Maison Ilan Charmes-Chambertin "Aux Charmes Hauts" Grand Cru 2011 (314185)

750ml

$144.95

Pre-arrival, 6 available

List $186.00

Situated entirely in the upper "Aux Charmes Hauts" lieu dit (named place), adjacent to the road separating Charmes-Chambertin from Le Chambertin. The average vine age here is over 50 years. The soil is quite fine, with a large amount of exposed limestone. Visiting the vineyard of Le Chambertin just across the road, you will see that the elevation of the slope is a bit lower on the south end. This corresponds to the section of Charmes Hauts which has a large deposit of soil forming a hump which is thought to be the result of soil slippage from Le Chambertin. Maison Ilan sources all of it Charmes-Chambertin "Aux Charmes Hauts" from this section on the hump, some 25 rows back from the road dividing Le Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin. Production: 8 barrels.

Maison Ilan Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011 (314184)

750ml

$119.95

Pre-arrival, 4 available

List $155.00

Mazoyères-Chambertin has a bit of a mixed reputation to say the least. This reputation is, however, more related to 'recent' assumptions in the last 80 or so years than it is to outright quality. The truth is that Mazoyères was thought to be on the same qualitative level as the lower section of Charmes-Chambertin (Charmes Bas). In recent times, it is fashionable (and legal, which further complicates the real reputation of this vineyard) for producers to label their wines from this vineyard as Charmes-Chambertin. In this regard, it is difficult to know the real origins of a producer's Charmes-Chambertin. Maison Ilan understands this to be a completely different terroir from those of Charmes Hauts and Charmes Bas, so it has taken the less commercially minded route by labeling its wine with the original name. More so than most vineyards, the section of Mazoyères that a wine is sourced from is of great importance as part of the vineyard slips down to the Route Nationale 74. Maison Ilan's Mazoyères is sourced from next to the Route de Grands Crus, literally on the other side of the road from Latricières-Chambertin. The vineyard has a slight slope with loads of iron rich clay and tiny slivers of limestone. Production: 5.5 barrels.

Maison Ilan Morey-St-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru 2011 (314183)

750ml

$89.95

Pre-arrival, 5 available

List $120.00

Situated just above Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru and adjacent to Grand Cru Clos de la Roche on a gradual slope. This vineyard has a very rocky terrain littered with limestone varying from pebble-sized to grapefruit-size. As with "Les Monts Luisants", both the surrounding Grands Crus decreased the size of the vineyard when expanding their respective limits. The soil here is still wafer thin, though it has a higher clay component, with more water retention and soil density. The average age of the vines is 26 years. Production: 4 barrels.

Maison Ilan Morey-St-Denis Les Monts Luisants 1er Cru 2011 (314182)

750ml

$89.95

Pre-arrival, 4 available

List $120.00

Situated just above Grand Cru Clos de la Roche, on a roughly 26% grade, this vineyard is one of the steepest in the region. Only one vineyard, 1er Cru "Les Genavrières", separates "Les Monts Luisants" from "Les Chaffots". A good portion of this vineyard was consumed by the expanding limits of Clos de la Roche. The soil here is heavily based on oolitic limestone, with rigid pebbles found throughout. The soil here is thin, well drained and fine. The average vine age here is over 45 years. Production: 4 barrels.

Maison Ilan Volnay Robardelles 1er Cru 2011 (314181)

750ml

$76.95

Pre-arrival, 12+ available

List $100.00

Today "Les Robardelles" is almost an unknown in the framework of renowned Volnay Premiers Crus. As far back as 1855 it was compared favorably to some of its highly regarded neighbors. To the immediate south, you will find "Les Santenots", adjacent and to the west lays the vineyard "En Caillerets", both two of the most celebrated vineyards in Volnay. This vineyard is on a relatively modest slope, with a strong proportion of dense clay with golf ball-sized pieces of exposed limestone. The vines here have a minimum age of 40 years. Production: 3.25 barrels.

Noëllat/Georges Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru 1959 (314589)

5 stars (potential), Michael Broadbent's Pocket Vintage Wine Companion: "Medium-deep; classic Rousseau, not overtly varietal -- just the smell of the real thing; excellent flavour and length. Drink: 2010-2020. (May 2006)"
