Long-Depaquit Chablis Les Clos 2020
12 bottles available, $89 per bottle
93 points Burghound: "Here too the nose is cool, airy and restrained with its combination of oyster shell, floral, quinine and green apple aromas that are trimmed in enough oak influence to merit pointing out. There is equally good refinement though not the same mid-palate density to the beautifully detailed and even drier finale. I like both the style and the balance, and this should amply repay extended keeping. (Drink starting 2032)"

Jacquesson Extra Brut Cuvee No. 738 Degorgement Tardif
19 bottles available, $115 per bottle
94 points Vinous: "Jacquesson's NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 738 Dégorgement Tardif (2010 base) is superb. So fresh and vibrant in the glass, the 738 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon confit, white flowers, almond and dried orchard fruit all race out of the glass. The Dégorgement Tardif was aged on cork and spent ninety-six months on the lees, which works so well in preserving the wine's freshness and explosive energy. Time in the glass brings out the wine's tension and vibrancy. This release is based on the 2010 vintage, with 33% reserve wines. The blend is 61% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Meunier and 18% Pinot Noir. Disgorged July 2019. Dosage is 0.75 grams per liter. Drink: 2020-2030. (Aug 2020)"
Laherte Rose de Saignee Les Beaudiers 2018
31 bottles available, $85 per bottle
93 points Vinous: "The NV (2018) Extra Brut Rosé de Saignée Les Beaudiers is 100% Meunier from vines planted in 1953, 1958 and 1963. It is also one of the most complex and distinctive Rosés readers will come across. Gorgeous floral and savory nuances weave through a delicate, understated core of Meunier fruit. The Beaudiers is a contemplative wine to savor over a leisurely meal. I loved it. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2021. Drink: 2022-2030. (May 2022)""

Willi Schaefer Graacher Feinherb 2022
6 bottles available, $35 per bottle
92 points Wine Advocate: "Predominantly from the Himmelreich but from different parcels than its dry counterpart, the 2022 Graacher Riesling feinherb is bright and refined on the fresh and pure nose that reveals white peach aromas intertwined with discreetly flinty slate aromas. Round and lush on the palate, this is a quite intense and textured Graacher with ripe, elegant acidity, yet it (still?) doesn't have the sharpness and precision of the dry Graacher. The finish is mouth-filling and fruity, though, and delicate in acidity, with good length. 10.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in May 2023. Drink: 2024-2040. (May 2023)"
Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese 2022
4 bottles available, $49 per bottle
96 points Wine Advocate: "Sourced in the same parcel as the legendary 1976 Auslese and picked rather early, the 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese opens with a clear, precise and elegant nose of white fruits and flinty notes of coolish crushed slate. Intense and lush on the palate, this is mouth-filling and charming, very long and mineral/saline Spätlese that doesn't show exceptionally high acidity but a ripe one that is completely interwoven with the mineral/phenolic structure. This is a hedonistically juicy but weightless and finessed, stimulating and saline Spätlese from the Himmelreich, which didn't produce an Auslese in 2022. All the fully ripe and golden berries went into the Spätlese. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. Drink: 2028-2060. (May 2023)"
Willi Schaefer Graacher Trocken 2022
9 bottles available, $35 per bottle
93 points Wine Advocate: "Sourced predominantly in the Himmelreich and racked from the lees until March due to a slow fermentation of the dry and feinherb wines, the 2022 Graacher Riesling trocken opens with a clear, deep and flinty, still nicely reductive bouquet of ripe, aromatic and juicy yellow stone fruits. Bottled in late April, this is a round and elegant, mouth-filling, juicy and well-balanced Graacher with savory acidity and a stimulating, saline and citric finish. This is a gorgeous dry Riesling from Graach that didn't suffer any heatwaves like in 2018, 2019 or 2020, although it was an extraordinarily warm and dry vintage. 11.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in May 2023. Drink: 2023-2040. (May 2023)"

Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino 2017
36 bottles available, $85 per bottle
95 points Vinous: "The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is wildly perfumed, dusty and exotic, with balsam herbs, savory spices, red currants and plums coming across as so pretty yet rich and potent. A silky display of sour wild berries contrasted by candied citrus wows the senses as the 2017 plays a zesty sweet-and-sour act upon the palate. It’s long, youthfully chewy, yet still remarkably fresh, with rosy florals and tart, tart cherries giving way to chiseled tannins through the finale. This is a beautiful rendition of the 2017 vintage, one that takes the dry warmth of the year and expresses it with tremendous energy and verve. What"s more, I revisited this bottle over the course of 36 hours and it only got better with time. (Drink between 2024-2030)"

Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2020
20 bottles available, $89 per bottle
96+ points Wine Advcoate: "I last reported on the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape prior to bottling, so let me update readers here. It's a terrific, red-fruited version of Clos des Papes, with raspberry and cherry notes accented by hints of black olive and allspice. Full-bodied, taut and firmly structured, with a long, concentrated finish, this is a vintage that should reward cellaring."
Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo 2020
3 bottles available, $319 per bottle
97+ points Wine Advcoate: "The 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée da Capo is a massively concentrated effort that should ultimately rival the great 2016. The blackberries and blueberries are so vibrant and intense that the wine almost seems sweet, packed with ripe fruit, with hints of mocha and garrigue for savory complexity. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, it finishes with tremendous length and presence."
