Huet Vouvray Sale
Stellar Huet; Deeply Discounted
2015 remains a landmark year in the Loire, especially in Vouvray. The wines are rich and powerful, with explosive aromatics and finishes that seemingly go on forever. Domaine Huet was one of the stars of the show, releasing one of their finest collections to date. We’ve got even lower prices on some of the highlights of the set—from Demi-Sec all the way to nobly ripe Premiere Trie Moelleux. These are wines to buy and drink now and also in 20+ years and these prices are designed to smooth the path for you to do so.
The Produttori del Barbaresco represents one of the best deals in the world of fine wine. Impeccably made in a traditional style and with very high standards (they only release the cru wines in the best years), these are wines that can stand toe to toe with wines twice the price. With age, these are capable of being the best wine on any table—no matter what else is being poured.
Guess what–an extra day of Burgundy at 10% off! What’s good for you is good for us. Enjoy 10% off all of our in-stock Burgundy for an extra 24 hours.
James Suckling 97 points “This is a DP that shows the ripeness of the 2009 vintage yet remains full of energy. Gorgeous aromas of cream, apple, mango, honeysuckle, and chalk follow through to a full body and super fine, tight texture.
Wine Advocate 93-94 points “The 2015 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Dürnsteiner Liebenberg comes from 70- to 80-year-old vines on a rare calcareous slate soil. The wine displays a very clear and pure, pretty open and lovely spicy, crystalline and flinty bouquet with ripe pip fruit aromas.
