HENRI ET GILLES BUISSON
Burgundy, France
In the once sleepy village of St. Romain, the Buisson family has farmed the hillside vineyards for generations. The estate has been managed by grandsons Franck and Frédérick since 2008, and they’ve catapulted it to a new level of fame. Their embrace of biodynamics and transparent winemaking have elevated the family’s production to a whole new level of quality, and they’ve been hailed as a new reference point in St. Romain. Their single vineyard wines are stunning expressions of the cooler-climate appellation, offering great relative value when compared to their more famous neighbours in St. Aubin or Puligny-Montrachet. These terroir driven, first class Burgundies are the real deal and we’re thrilled to offer a selection from the excellent 2022 vintage, showing some of St. Romain's best terroirs.
Il POggione
MONTALCINO, TUSCANY
The long awaited release of Il Poggione's 2019 Brunello is here. The historic winery produced another knock-out wine from a classic vintage in Italy that resembled 2016 and 2013. Decanter gave the vintage a 5 out of 5 score, referencing the warm weather and the absence of any extreme events. Il Poggione's Brunello is a favourite among collectors. In a vintage like 2019, it's a brilliant addition to any collection and will provide drinking pleasure at every stage stage of its evolution for years to come.
HEITZ CELLAR
MARTHA'S VINEYARD, CALIFORNIA
We're thrilled to offer the new vintage from Heitz, including for the first time, the Quartz Creek Chardonnay. These are some of the most sought-after bottles among collectors, prized for their historic position in Napa and for their distinctive style that emphasizes restraint and elegance. Joe Heitz never succumbed to passing trends that favoured modern, over-extracted wines -- he was steadfast in making poised, cerebral wines with subtle layers of complexity and with long aging potential. An absolutely superb collection!
Frank Cornelissen
ETNA, SICILY
highly deserved recognition as one of Etna’s best winemakers, helping bring a newfound level of fame to the region. We’re thrilled to offer his latest release, including his rare top wine, Magma. Cornelissen had a reputation for wines that were wild, but singular; there was nothing else like them and nobody had captured Etna’s terroir like he had. His devotion to natural methods was not just a philosophy, but also a means to an end, driven by his relentless perfectionism. Over time the wines have become more and more polished, their rough edges smoothed out and their purity emphasized. These are the most singular, sought-after wines being made on Mount Etna and are absolutely not to be missed!
