2018 Dönnhoff Grosses Gewächs

New Stock Arriving Late March

Donnhoff is perhaps our favorite German producer.  They excel with both dry and off-dry wines, producing some of the top dozen Rieslings in nearly every vintage.  Part of that is a privileged location—they own some of the best vineyards in the Nahe, one of the most geologically diverse parts of Germany.  Decanter notes that “the estate owns 25ha of vines, including plots in nine Grosse Lage vineyards – the highest quality classification as set out by the VDP,” a wealth of resources that few wineries in the world can draw from.

2016 Brunello:

“A Classic Vintage of Impeccable Balance”

New Reviews from Jeb Dunnuck

And New Allocations of Top Wines

“2016 is a classic vintage of impeccable balance. Spring brought cool temperatures with sparse and well-distributed rains that continued through May. Summer was evenly hot and dry without extreme spikes, and optimal diurnal temperatures, allowing for the grapes to achieve a balanced maturation. The first weeks of autumn were warm during the day and cool through the nights, with a significant rainfall in mid-September.

Antonio Galloni 98+ points “The 2008 Dom Pérignon is fabulous, but quite remarkably, it was even more open when I tasted it a year ago. Bright, focused and crystalline in its precision, the 2008 is going to need a number of years before it is at its best.

Nicolas Maillart’s Staff Favorite Champagne


We’ve carried the Champagnes of Nicolas Maillart in the past, but were blown away when tasting through them recently—enough that we’ve gone deep on the entire lineup. These are some of the most exciting wines from Champagne that we’ve tasted in some time, and they’re at prices that keep them firmly within reach.

Nicolas Maillart’s family has a grape-growing tradition in Champagne that dates back to at least the 18th century -some documents indicate the family has been farming grapes since the 1500s.
