2012 Francois Lamarche Echezeaux Grand Cru....$199.99
The 2012 Echezeaux Grand Cru comes from the Lamarche family’s 1.32-hectare holding in the lieu-dit “Les Champs Traversins” towards the higher reaches. It has a very refined, complex bouquet with a superb mineral component that is more expressive than the premier crus at the moment. The palate is harmonious and refined with succulent, fleshy ripe red cherry fruit, strawberry and redcurrant that dovetail into a composed, what you might describe as “classic” finish. This self-effacing grand cru is quietly impressive.
Rated 92-94/100 The Wine Advocate

2012 Mongeard Mugneret Savignly Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons....$45.99
Producer note: Vincent Mongeard succinctly describes 2012 as a "vintage where the underlying terroir really shines. It's very interesting that over the last few years we have had less than ideal growing seasons yet the wines have turned out to be better than merely acceptable. Part of this is of course improved methods of viticulture but also both producer and consumers are more accepting of the fact that a less than ideal growing season does not automatically equate to poor wines the way it often once did. I like my 2012s and I hope my clients do too. I just wish that I had more of them." I would call the Mongeard 2012s as very much performing in-line with the overall quality of the vintage.

2012 Mongeard Mugneret Vosne Romanee 1er Cru En Orveaux....$81.99
Tasting note: A very reserved nose only grudgingly liberates spicy and airy aromas of both red and black pinot fruit. There is very fine detail and energy to the equally restrained medium-bodied flavors that display a touch of austerity on the otherwise balanced and lingering finish.
