A tremendous gift for a Burgundy afficionado. This vintage was made for the cellar. Stylishly concentrated with ample spice and rich game aromas. This is old-school Burgundy from the Coudray-Bizot domaine. Hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, fermented in open wooden vats, and bottled unfiltered.

Staff Pick Notes

"Open are the double doors of the horizon; unlocked are its bolts." This is an utterance from the Pyramid Texts, and also serves as the opening words spoken in Philip Glass' 1983 operatic masterpiece Akhnaten. Despite its ancient provenance, these words feel more timely than ever. The future is unknowable, yet always charging at us at high velocity. This inchoate period of our history that we are currently living through is rife with uncertainty. For me, this Nuits-Saint-Georges from Coudray-Bizot is an elegant, purposefully made wine that also offers comfort. From 90 year-old vines this has some nice development on it, and yet has wonderful freshness. Cherries, red currants, dried herbs, and earth make a wonderful pairing for all types of dishes.

Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer.

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....
