Cheval-Blanc, DRC, Gaja, Soldera, more!

We’re digging into the vault today with an exceptional lineup of wines you may have missed the first time around. Though we often sell out entirely of wines featured in our offers, don’t give up -there’s almost always a gem that slips through the cracks. Even bottles with top provenance, maturity, and real scarcity can occasionally be overlooked. This is your chance to secure the foundations of a world-class cellar across Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône, and Italy.

The 1998 Cheval Blanc and 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion headline Bordeaux, joined by 2009 Léoville Poyferré and the legendary 2000 Château Margaux. DRC’s Corton-Charlemagne appears in both the 2020 and 2022 vintages, alongside the stunning 2022 Romanée-St-Vivant. Rare mature treasures like Anne Gros’s 1996 Richebourg sit next to blue-chip selections such as Fourrier’s 2015 Clos St-Jacques, Dujac’s 2011 Clos de la Roche in magnum, Cathiard’s 2006 Malconsorts, and Méo-Camuzet’s acclaimed 2022 Richebourg. For Chablis purists, the 2020 Raveneau Montée de Tonnerre and Butteaux are essential additions. And lastly, don’t sleep on Jadot’s 2002 Bonnes Mares!

If you’ve been drinking more champagne lately, this is a great moment to re-stock with 2002 and 2008 Dom Pérignon, along with the monumental 2008 Cristal in magnum. Rhône lovers have not one but two vintages of Chave Hermitage: the already brilliant 2017 and the electrifying 2022, one of our most memorable tastes of the year.

Italy rounds out the offer with a deep lineup from Gaja – Costa Russi, Sperss, Conteisa, and Sori Tildìn – spanning 2004 through 2014. The 100-point 2018 Flaccianello magnum is a modern Tuscan benchmark, and the crown jewel of the entire list may well be the 2004 Soldera Brunello Riserva in magnum, an incredibly rare bottle and truly a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition.
