Domaine Denis Carré, a 14HA estate with holdings in the HCB, Auxey, Meursault, and Pommard, was founded 45 years ago by Denis. Today, his kids Gaetane and Martial run the domaine. They joke that Denis is the best employee, retired “on paper” but still working like a bull.
We last met him when we went to check out the vines in Pommard in winter. He was mid-slope pruning on a day when at its warmest it was barely nudging freezing. A cold, wet wind coming across from Auxey made it feel like 30 below. He had been out there for six hours already that day yet oddly enough, his hand was warm when I shook it. These farmers are a different breed
Denis’ kids are an incredible team, Martial makes the wine and drives the tractor. He’s deliberate, quiet and thoughtful. His sister, Gaetane is the polar opposite, a bundle of energy whose infectious enthusiasm for hard work, organic farming and making fine, silky Burgundy had me ready to join Denis’s pruning crew in the vines. The wines are lights out; elegant, mineral whites and racy, tense reds.
This estate has been managed by Denis by 45 years, through some absolutely amazing vintages. However, ask the man himself and he will admit that the 2019’s right up there with the greatest he’s ever made. They are lights out. In a nearly perfect vintage that James Suckling referred to as “Burgundy’s Bullseye”, Carré’s 1er cru Beaune soars from the glass with notes of high toned pomegranate and cherry mingled with blood orange and rose petals. Medium bodied, the wine is velvety and layered, with great concentrated and multidimensional array of savory mixed with just amazing fruit.

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
