New Wines + Some Specials Not to Miss.

Domaine Gaget Morgon Cote du Py '24 Is a fresh, wholesome, deep and dark Beaujolais Cru with some staying power, and only $40!! I opened the last bottle of the '23 last week and was surprised how great it was, it's improved or is even better than I remembered. The '24 coming soon has scored 97Pts from Decanter!

Domaine Foillard '24's are arriving at the end on month. It's hard to find a more respected and sought-after estate. We don't have a lot.

Domaine Pavillon de Chavannes 2021 Cotes de Brouilly  - $25 in 6-pack lots! This is a silly price for a serious Cru Beaujolais made with passion and care. 93Pts! 

Lastly, don't miss our last stocks of the magnificent vintage '21 from the great Produttori del Barbaresco.

Thanks and cheers, Randall.

Final 'Extra-Special' Offer 
 
"Brilliant violet. Expansive, spice-and mineral-accented red fruit and spicecake scents show fine delineation and pick up a suave floral note with air. Juicy, sharply focused and alluringly sweet, offering vibrant raspberry, boysenberry and five-spice powder flavors that deepen slowly through the midpalate. Shows superb energy and finishes seamless and impressively long, with polished and reverberating mineral and floral notes." 93Pts. - Josh Raynold, Vinous 

 

Pre-Arrival: 2024 Dom. Gaget Morgon 'Cote du Py'
Offer: $44 | $39.90 in 6-Packs
Wines are due from France late 2026/early 2027

The Gaget estate is situated in the Cote du Py vines! The family with Mikael in charge of the winemaking farms 11ha. For this wine, from 60yo vines, he uses semi-carbonic maceration and ferments in cement vats before ageing in small and larger oak barrels. The careful grape growing and ambitious flavour and tannin extractions based on faith in the grapes, and clean, clever winemaking produces a stunning wine. The decomposed granite slopes (thanks to an old volcano) provide some nice minerality somehow.

'Beguiling aromas of red florals, raspberries and cherry pie with an allure of savoury herbs in the background. Juicy and lush, with a polished textural grip, crunchy acidity and admirable chalky tannins. Very long and generous.' 97Pts. - Decanter. 

 

2024 Jean Foillard Morgon 'Cote du Py'
$129 | Offer: $104
 
"a little more bandwidth and complexity compared to the Corcelette, a mélange of red and black fruit, black tea leaves and crushed stone. The palate is fresh and lively on the entry, a Côte du Py with a skip in its step and an assiduous sprinkling of white pepper towards the harmonious finish. Excellent" 92Pts. - Neal Martin, Vinous

"A dark, intriguing wine from old vines. Warm earth and ripe raspberries dominate at first glance, with peony and pepper shining through as it awakens."
Chris Santini, Kermit Lynch
