Founded in 1987, Domaine Henri Magnien is a small family estate, with 6 hectares, located in Gevrey-Chambertin. After working side by side with his father Francois, Charles took over the domaine in 2012 and has taken the wines to new heights. He is considered to be one of the rising stars in Burgundy.

Alluring, with dark cherry, raspberry and blackberry puree flavors that are streamlined in feel, flecked with anise, mesquite and fruitcake hints as they drive through the focused finish. Finely beaded acidity keeps everything in place. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2022 through 2038.

Refined with a young composition, Pavillon de Leoville Poyferre enjoys a fruity character with a palate pleasing finesse that is very rare to find for for a Bordeaux of its age. Comprised of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot.

Ripe black fruits and dark-chocolate flavors highlight this powerful wine. Fresh black-currant acidity backed by light notes of pepper. 83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc.

Intense red color with garnet reflection. Notes of forest fruits and black fruits on the nose, as well as some spicy, peppery and roasted notes.

Soft, creamy attack on the aromas of fruit then wood and roasting. More tense finish on a rich and supple finish.

Pure, bright aromas of red fruit greet you in the glass, with lovely raspberry flavors mingling with a spicy licorice note. Another fine offering from one of the Rhone Valley's finest producers.

This bright and balanced Chambolle-Musigny from Clerget is loaded with flavors of forest berries, rhubarb, strawberry jam, and mushrooms. Now with eight years of age on it, this wine is really in a good place. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Château de Beaucastel Ch. Hommage À Jacques Perrin 2009 is an exceptional red wine produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley, France. Crafted primarily from Mourvèdre grapes, blended with other traditional varietals, this wine pays homage to Jacques Perrin, a pioneer in the region.

Originating in the Jura region of France, the Grivot family settled in Vosne-Romanée right before the French Revolution. In 1919, Gaston Grivot sold his vines in less prominent areas to be able to buy a large plot in the grand cru Clos de Vougeot. He and his son, Jean, were some of the first students to graduate from Dijon University under the oenology program, and soon after they made their last name famous in the wine world.

The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was reduced by one-third due to the frost, unorthodox in that it affected the higher part of Etienne's vines. It has a slightly more rustic, almost obdurate nose than the previous two vintages, with touches of dried blood and something almost ferrous sutured into the red berry fruit.

Domaine Jean Grivot is among the great names in Burgundian wine. Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987. The vineyards are densely planted and farmed organically “sans certification” while the aim in the cellar is for balance and clear expression of terroir.

A blend of Grenache (90%) and Mourvèdre (10%) fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel, this perfumed, blossomy red shines a spotlight on lustrous boysenberry and raspberry flavors.

Mercurey is located in the Côte Chalonnaise and produces well structured and pure, fruit driven reds with a distinctive underlying earthiness. Their relative low price when compared with wines from the more famous Côte d'Or appellations makes them good value for money.

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Les Hautes Brusquières (60/40 Grenache and Syrah) comes from a cooler terroir near the Mount Redon plateau and was brought up in oak tronconique tanks and demi-muids.
