Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate sums up the ’19 red Burgs with “Revisited from bottle, the 2019 vintage has fulfilled the promise I saw in it last year. The reds are stunning young wines, notable for their aromatic range and sensual textures, and they show no signs of shutting down in bottle….Looking further back in time, I’m tempted to invoke comparisons with 1964…”
That’s rather high praise.
Places like Maranges are far off the Rue Nationale but may just be one of the last great spots to uncover. It’s here where some of the most thrilling wines are being produced. Maranges’ 1er crus from estates like my new friend, Stéphane Monnot’s, are built upon old vines, dug deep into crazy mineral soils, that produce wines at a such a high qualitative level that many mistake them for their neighbors further north: Volnay, Gevrey-Chambertin or Vosne-Romanee.
Of course, in a short vintage like 2019 those neighbors to the north are going to cost 3 to 5 times what today’s wine will set you back. Unlucky for us, like his northern neighbors, Stéphane’s brilliant white and red Burgundies are just as rare.
For my money though the choice is a no-brainer. Stephane Monnot and his scarce but lights out 2019s, are must-buys for any discriminating Burgundy buyer that would prefer to have 3 bottles of Maranges rather than just one of most Gevrey Chambertin. They are special wines. Don’t miss out!

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
