Opening from the glass with an expressive bouquet of tangerine zest, white flowers, pear and oyster shell, it’s followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with ample chalky extract and a saline finish. It’s broader than Beauregard but simultaneously racier than Montmains. This estate has seen no less than five generations, but it only marketed its first bottles in 1991. Today, Virginie Moreau presides over this 25-hectare domaine following the premature passing of Stéphane Moreau in 2016. The order of the day is organic (though not certified) farming, harvesting ripe yet clean fruit cropped at modest yields and extended maturation—18 months on the lees in a combination of used oak barrels (mostly 228-liter, averaging 10 years old) and stainless steel, with final settling in tank for two to four weeks. After a series of sunny vintages, Virginie has started to vinify more wine in tank (Montmains and Valmur are now matured entirely in stainless steel), as she believes this helps retain more of the classically Chablisien signatures. These wines are always concentrated and textural, among the most characterful to be found in Chablis. The range of premier cru bottlings is the focus at this address, typically attaining its apogee(KK)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potion Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48071140245736,"sku":"SQ2465705","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5389\/3096\/files\/potioncollector_fantasyscifitable1.png?v=1773900032"},{"product_id":"wine-explorers-club-introduction-to-almeida-hotel-bucaco-wines-the-lopez-de-heredia-of-portugal","title":"Almeida Hotel Buçaco — Introduction Pack","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIncludes one bottle each of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2022 Bucaco Branco Reserva\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2022 Bucaco Rosado Reserva\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2018 Bucaco Tinto Reserva \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIt’s been almost fifteen years since I first tasted the sublime and sophisticated wines of Almeida\/Bucaco hotel and whenever they become available (maybe every few years), I leap on the chance to load up.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThey are coastal Portugal’s answer to the long-lived, spellbinding wines of Lopez de Heredia and especially with the White and Rose, will shatter your expectations.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarefully made from the best vineyards, raised with traditional and highly particular methods, built to age, and generally reserved just for visitors to the luxury hotel, they are wines of joyous flavor and complexity.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eI offer them here as a 3-pack sampler but I am certain that some of you who have bought from me before will want more than that.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe Bucaco Hotel was founded in 1917, with the highest of society as its clientele.  In order to have the very best to offer his guests, founder Alexandre de Almeida sought to make the greatest expression of Portuguese wine he could.  Utilizing grapes from what he viewed to be the country's two greatest regions, the Dão and Bairrada, the Bucaco wines are still produced today in the same methods and with the same spectacular results. This Branco Reservado is a blend of Encruzado, Maria Gomes and Bical, and is fabulously focused, driven and aromatic, with a backbone of textured acidity that'll allow it to age for many years. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potion Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48071140278504,"sku":"SQ7003160","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"2008-gonet-medeville-grand-cru-extra-brut-cuvee-theophile","title":"2008 Gonet-Médeville Grand Cru Extra Brut Cuvée Théophile","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThis is a brilliant 2008 that’s super-structured, with tons of drive and superb palate intensity.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine has been barrel-fermented then aged on lees for 11 years followed by a \"marrying\" time of 2 years with cork age...and it's still as fresh as a daisy!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis magical blend comes from (40%) Le Mesnil Champ d'Alouette site and (60%) Ambonnay Grand Ruelles, both of course, great and classic Grand Crus.\u003cbr\u003eThis, as with the Champ d'Alouette is fermented in used barrels and aged for an eternity (11 years) in bottle.\u003cbr\u003eIt's a dialed up intense wine with great vinosity, pinot meatiness and \"sappiness\" together with chardonnay lemon compote and  saline \/ rocky mineral nuances.  With a well judged 2g\/L of sugar, it's a striking beautifully (partially) aged and vinous wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJulie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville are, in many ways, the first couple of French wines.

The humble domaine was founded in 1956 by André Bonhomme. Back then, André's father Joseph owned 4 hectares of vines that were sold under the Mâcon-Viré appellation. Through careful vine growing and vinification, André received enormous respect from his colleagues. He was not only the co-founder of the Independent Winemakers of the Saône-et-Loire; he also was one of the principal initiators of the new, higher quality Viré-Clessé appellation in the 1990's. André has since passed the torch to his daughter Jacqueline and her husband Eric Palthey. They were later joined by their son Aurélien who acquired an oenology degree in 2007 and his brother Johan who subsequently completed his wine studies. The domaine presently covers 11 hectares located on the clay and limestone soils of both the Viré and Clessé communes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eOrganic Methodology\u003cbr\u003eAs far as work in the vineyards go, not much has changed since André took over from his father: all vineyard work is organic, and the family attempts to keep even its organic sprays to a minimum so that the plant can defend itself. No chemical weed-killers are used between the vines, and certain strains of hay are planted between the rows (which aerates the soil and brings it valuable nitrogen). Insecticides: taboo! In fact, the family actually encourages certain predators that they feel create a natural balance in the vineyard. Yields are kept low. Grapes are picked by hand, and are delicately pressed with their stems in a balloon press. Parcels are vinified separately using only their indigenous yeasts. The wines are lightly filtered before bottling so that they are clear and brilliant, and minimal sulfur is added. Underneath the winery is a very humid, dark cellar, whose moist walls are stained black with mold. Certain cuvées spend up to 24 months in barrels in these slow-maturing conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIncludes one bottle each of :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2022 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Cuvée Spéciale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2021 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Les Hauts des Ménards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2021 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Les Quarts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2022 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Pierres Blanches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e2022 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potion Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48071141851368,"sku":"SQ3248330","price":231.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"guy-charlemagne-champagne-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-extra-brut-grand-reserve","title":"Guy Charlemagne Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut — Grand Reserve","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePhilippe Charlemagne represents the fifth generation of his family to make wine in Mesnil-sur-Oger, from 15 hectares of vines, principally in the villages of Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger itself.

They are transforming the model of the family business from the traditional focus of growing grapes for large brand producers to one more \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e based, or as the Tellier’s prefer to call it, Vigneron Paysan (Peasant Winegrower). Located in the Côteaux sud d’Epernay in the village of Moussy, their vineyard parcels are located primarily in two zones with different soil profiles and thus different varietals. Moussy is just down the hill from Chavot, where Aurélien Laherte is based and who tipped us off to Tellier’s estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eMoussy \u0026amp; Pierry are Pinot Meunier dominant villages with (59%) followed by Chardonnay (35%) and Pinot Noir (6%). This area possesses a deeper surface of clay laid on top of the classic chalky limestone bedrock, which provides more structure, power and length to the resulting wines.\u003cbr\u003eChavot, Fontaine-sur-Ay \u0026amp; Cramant are villages where Chardonnay is king due to the relatively shallow clay surface over a similar chalky limestone bedrock.

Harvest is done by hand and the grapes are brought to the cellars for immediate pressing where the musts are protected by inert gas in stainless steel vats to avoid the immediate use of sulfites. Grape musts are allowed to settle for 12-24 hours without any additives, after which time the juice is transferred into barrel. Tellier prefers young but neutral barrels fine grained oak from the forests of the Vosges, Nièvre and Allier regions. Fermentation takes place in barrel using indigenous yeasts and the wines are aged in barrel without sulfites for the ensuing 8 months before blending and bottling, where the wines are lowered into the deep limestone cellars for a minimum 40 months aging on their lees.

While it’s ripe and rich in feel, its flavors remain well within a green-fruit spectrum of pear, apple and citrus, complemented by a fine, silky texture that reflects its grand cru origins. It’s sleek and focused on the palate, driven by a chalky tension, and it finishes with excellent length and poise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potion Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48071142539496,"sku":"SQ8822871","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"dealers-choice-jason-selects-champagnes-for-you-250","title":"Dealer's Choice — Jason Selects Champagne · $250","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eToo many good wines to choose from?
