Staff Pick Notes

Burgundy lovers have a hard lot in life. Bargains are non-existent, and plonking down a lot of cash still doesn't guarantee a great bottle. But when a producer gets it right, the heavens open and angels descend. It's like no other wine drinking experience, and the quest/struggle begins again. In Burgundy it often comes down to the producer and knowing which you trust and like. One of Burgundy's A-list domaines, La Pousse d'Or, astounds again and again. This 1er cru from Santenay is no exception. On the border of Chassagne-Montrachet, Clos Tavannes is a walled vineyard planted in 1920 with vines sourced from Romanée-Conti. It shows gorgeous aromas of black cherry, forest floor, anise, and herbs. It's elegant with fine-grained tannins that are still in their youth. If drinking now, decant and hear the trumpets sound.

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....
