Comte Armand is among the list of top Burgundy domaines and the best in Pommard, and Clos des Epeneaux is their monopole dating back to 1826. The domaine moved to a new stage when Pascal Marchand took over the ruin and was succeeded by Benjamin Leroux. Nowadays it is managed by Paul Zinetti and it has also been accredited with organic farming since then. Domaine Comte Armand also acquired a few vineyards in Auxey-Duresses and Volnay in 1994. We opened a bottle of Domaine Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses 2017 yesterday and found it full with joy. Obviously, it contains lots of characters of the...

Domaine Armand Rousseau is always among the top five domaines in Burgundy that wine lovers keep their eyes on. It has fantastic holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin including six Grand Crus and three 1er Crus. They are the pioneer for domaine estate bottling in the 1930s and today the domaine is managed by their 3rd Generation, Eric Rousseau together with his daughter Cyrielle Rousseau. Winemaking remains to be traditional, and a lot of effort is put in the vineyards. Their Chambertin, Chambertin Clos-de-Beze and Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques are among the greatest drops in Burgundy; and other cuvees are also produced in excellent qualities which are on the...

It is always a joy to enjoy a bottle of Chambolle-Musigny from Francois Bertheau. The domaine currently owns about 6 hectares of vineyards scattered over Chambolle-Musigny and also in Bonnes-Mares, the only Grand Cru from the domaine. Half of the vineyards are village level, and this is a fantastic domaine that represents the typicity of the terroirs. They express crystalline purity of fruits by having mild and soft influence of oak. The production is phenomenally low at around 1,300 cases per year, by definition, these wines will be much harder to find as time passes by. We are delighted to offer a...

Georges Roumier is one of the top names to follow for Chambolle-Musigny nowadays. Founded in 1924 by Georges Roumier, he was succeeded by his son Jean-Marie in 1957 and now managed by his grandson Christophe, who joined his father in 1982 and took over completely in 1992. Christophe has since taken the Domaine to the next level. With the ultimate care given to the vines combined with the heavy and intensive craftsmanship, their wines stand out among all other producers in Chambolle-Musigny - pure, seductive and fruit-forward with no hard-edges across their portfolio. Patience is required for such a great name but their quality...

Following up on our Jean Grivot offer earlier this week, we have just secured a small parcel of Echezeaux Grand Cru 2014 yesterday and it looks very appealing. This is one of the stand out buys of the week, which received a massive 95 Points from Burghound’s Allen Meadows, just a point below Grivot’s flagship cuvee - Richebourg Grand Cru 2014. Putting it alongside Domaine de la Romanee Conti’s Echezeaux 2014, the Grivot’s Echezeaux is 1 point ahead of it and costs massively lower. ^Refers to Wine-Searcher Average Market Price (http://www.wine-searcher.com) Jean Grivot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2014HK$3,100 per bottle, 6 available,...
