Big, Powerful, Opulent and Undervalued

The 2015 Cristia Chateauneufs
Looking for big, rich, opulent Chateauneuf du Pape?  Look no further than Domaine Cristia, especially in 2015.  The estate is known for powerful wines made from ancient vines in a style that renders them drinkable young but capable of aging for a long time, as well.  We’re head over heels for the 2015’s, and so is the Wine Spectator, who bestowed some impressive reviews on the two wines that we have in stock now.

Wine Advocate 96 points “The Upper Terrace Vineyard was planted in 2000. Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace has a classic nose of warm red cherries and cranberries, sliced blueberries and strawberry jam with notes of cola, cardamom, oolong tea leaves and blue flowers—the nose gives up changing earth, fruit and savory layers every time I go back for another smell.

The Remarkable 2017 Domaine Huet Vouvrays

Arriving September 14th
Huet makes some of the most undervalued great wine in the world.  Take any metric you’d use to adjudicate greatness (complexity, age-worthiness, aromatic intensity, etc) and Huet’s Vovray is on the list, at prices far below almost anything else in the world of wine. They own some of the greatest vineyards in the Loire and make sure that they reach their potential year in and out.
