Burgundy is a bit like a haystack too for buyers and consumers alike; a million vineyards, owned by many and produced by even more. To find value, you are essentially looking for that needle.
In the summer of 2015, I found myself way off the rue nationale, driving through the rolling, lush, green hills of the Côtes Chalonnaise to find the estate of François Raquillet. The night before, the sommelier at the restaurant we were in steered towards a brilliant bottle of Bourgogne Rouge from Raquillet and suggested we seek him out. It was worth the trip.
François organically tends around 40 acres of limestone-laden vineyards in the appellation of Mercurey, producing some of the most delicious Pinot Noir I have ever tasted from Burgundy. The fruit quality of his 2017 Bourgogne Rouge is just like that first one I had, downright crunchy. It’s dark and juicy but light on its feet, and incredibly drinkable.
Vinified entirely in oak, this is juicy, berried-up Pinot Noir with a lip-smacking mineral finish that makes it absolutely perfect at any table.

100 Pts, Jeb Dunnuck – 100 Pts, James Suckling – 99+ Pts, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Hands down one of the best wines made in the world in the 2018 vintage. This is a little slice of history in a bottle; a time capsule present for yourself – a rare shot at a perfect wine from an iconic producer. A double 100-point wine with Parker’s Wine Advocate all but conceding perfection in their glowing 99+ review. It’s everything you want in a Napa Cab and in a collector’s item. This will be drinking like a dream for the next half century. Don’t miss a slice of double perfection!
Chad’s 2020 McKinley Springs Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drop dead gorgeous. Those of you who were lucky to catch our sneak preview when we put it in our Gobbler Case can attest. Dark purple to the rim with aromas of black fruits, violets, creme de cassis and a hint of spice. On the palate, full-bodied, round and juicy with elegance and the gorgeous, pure fruit– red and black currants, blackberries and a touch of sweet tobacco.
Marie Jacqueson’s best red is a 1er cru from the vineyard Préaux. The vines are old here, averaging almost 50 years in age. The soil is a classic mix of clay and limestone providing for soaring aromatics of strawberry, black cherry, cinnamon and roses. The fruit is almost crunchy; incredibly fresh, juicy, really flat-out delicious. Those limestone soils gives the wine great length, with a mineral finish that goes a mile. Great now, great in 10 years, and qualitatively worth double the price. There are only 78 bottles available this year. Then we wait again!
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
