Staff Pick Notes

Previously regarded amongst the most esteemed vineyards of Burgundy, Clos de la Perriere is a 1er Cru vineyard in Fixin, often dismissed as a rustic counterpart to Gevrey-Chambertin. It's now a monopole (a rarity in Burgundy) owned by the Joliet family for six generations. Benigne Joliet currently runs the estate and has made improvements since he took over: organic farming, delayed pruning to combat frosts, and the intention to stop tilling. He makes one red and one white from this fabled land. The red is a combination of four distinct parcels and aged in French oak for up to 2 years. It's drinking so easily in its youth: radiating with heady ripe plum, blackberry, with intermingling spice, with a sultry body that really envelops the palate with lush texture.

Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Burgundy

The range of wine styles offered in Burgundy rivals that of any other region. In Chablis, Chardonnay is left unoaked to produce lean, crisp, steely wines with incredible acidity - a far cry from the vanilla-oak bombs that so many consumers associate with this grape. Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....
