Keller is one of those wineries we can’t get enough of—the wines are fantastic and they don’t stick around very long once (if) they hit the shelves.  The recently arrived wines include the best-in-class-value Von der Fels, a (very) dry wine made exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards.  This edition is sourced mostly from Kirschspiel and displays true GG character at a much, much lower pricing.  We’ve also got the entry-level Estate Trocken Riesling, perpetual staff-pick Silvaner and our first ever allocation of their savory/salty vom Muscheligen Kalk bottling—all in stock and ready for your cellar.

“If I had to choose one wine to show how great dry German Riesling can be I would choose a Keller Riesling.

G.B. Burlotto was considered among the absolute greatest winemakers in the world for the seventy plus years he was at the helm. After his passing in 1927, the winery and his hometown of Verduno slipped into obscurity. Now Fabio Alessandria, the great-great-grandson has taken over and Burlotto regained the place it deserves among the top echelon of small producers in the Piedmont.

Kerin O’Keefe-Wine Enthusiast 97 points “Heady aromas of blue flower, perfumed berry, balsamic herb and sandalwood are just some of the aromas that lift out of the glass on this fragrant, stunning red.

Domaine Robert Chevillon Les Bousselots, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2018 750ml $119 special, 5 bottles in stock now
Wine Enthusiast 94 points “This elegant wine opens with a subtle but almost lifted note of ripe red cherry. The palate frames this heightened note of cherry freshness with a filigreed frame of fine, still slightly crunchy tannin and its attendant smokiness. The entire structure lets the cherry fruit blossom. -Anne Krebiehl MW”
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 91-93 points “The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots is also showing very well, soaring from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of raspberries, black truffles, dark chocolate, rich soils tones and a deft framing of toasty new oak.
