Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Moulin-à-Vent Plantiers du Favre 2019

Boillot-Barthod is the new name for Louis Boillot, celebrating Louis & Ghislaine's son - Clément -taking over the winemkaing reins.

"A much earthier and more sauvage nose exhibits notes of mostly red berries with touches of herbal tea, humus and pepper. The energetic and utterly delicious flavors exude a subtle minerality on the powerful, serious, highly complex and built-to-age finale. This is terrific and worth checking out if you can find it." 91-93. Outstanding Top value. Burghound Issue 81.

Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Pommard 1er Cru Fremiers 2015

Burghound 'Louis Boillot's views are consistent with those of his wife Ghislaine Barthod.... I would add only that Boillot noted that he began the harvest on the 2nd of September in Volnay. As the scores and commentaries confirm, Boillot did fabulously well in 2015, indeed I would go so far as to say that they are among the best wines that I have ever seen from him. Moreover Beaujolais lovers should not ignore those wines either as all three are … more

Little Frances Lake County Luchsinger Vineyard Semillon 2017

Producer Notes - "Lake County rises high above the north end of the Napa Valley, over the Mayacamas Mountain range. Classic Bordeaux varieties dominate vineyard plantings in this agricultural basin. Warm summer days are moderated by the cooling mass of Clear Lake - California's largest natural lake. Since 2012, Little Frances has sourced Semillon from a single vineyard owned and tended by three generations of the Luchsinger family.

An absolutely superb growing season for Northern California. This wine showed promise … more

Muller-Catoir Herrenletten Riesling 2014

Organic. The Herrenletten Erste Lage sits adjacent to Bürgergarten.

The oldest Riesling vines here are 40 years old (the site is also home to Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, though obviously not in use here!)

Pauletts Clare Valley Riesling 2023

Pauletts Clare Valley Riesling is here to remind you why the region is so famous for the variety. Warm days and cool nights leave the grapes hanging on the vine for long, slow ripening periods.
