Ruinart "R" Brut Champagne
$121.99
This is showing impressive aromatic intensity with quite toasty, lemony and apple notes. Really taut, firm, dry and intense on the palate. This is a great oyster Champagne. Notably dry, grippy and mouth-watering. My pick for the classy New Years Eve celebration. Score - 94. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Dec. 4, 2019)

Jove Troballa Garnacha
$32.99
Mas Blanch i Jové was created in 2006 in Lleida, where intriguing wine is produced under the lesser-known D.O. Costers del Segre. As is often the case in Catalunya, the project had its roots a few generations earlier. The family vineyards are located in the town of La Pobla de Cérvoles (neighbouring the Priorat and Montsant wine regions) in a mountainous ecosystem with strong Mediterranean influences. They are planted on rocky limestone-clay soil at 650-850m above sea level and, as are all Catalan vineyards, they are each specially named: l’Esporgada, ElsLlinars, El Plad’en Mas, El Senill and St. Joan. The viticulture is organic (no herbicides or pesticides are used), and grapes are harvested 100% manually and then undergo a rigorous selection process. In terms of wine production, they source their grapes from their five estates, located in the DO Costers de Segre, consisting of 11 hectares of vineyards planted with the red varieties Garnacha, Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot and the white varieties Garnacha and Macabeo.
Lucien Muzard Pommard
$103.99
Domaine Lucien Muzard & Fils is run by the dedicated duo of brothers Claude and Hervé Muzard, the ninth generation to manage this family estate that traces its history back to 1645. The village of Santenay is not only where they hang their hats, but also home to their largest concentration of vineyards, which average 55 years of age, including 1er Crus Maladière and Gravières as well as villages-level Champs Claude - situated right next to Chassagne’s Morgeot - from which they produce both Santenay Rouge and Santenay Blanc (a beautiful “poor man’s Chassagne” in anyone’s book!). Over the years, the brothers have amassed an enviable assortment of prime terroirs in the neighbouring villages of Maranges — one of the top values in their rouge lineup — as well as in Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault, including the stony, cool terroir of Les Meix Chavaux.
In the vineyards, they are devout in their commitment to working naturally and they incorporate both organic and biodynamic principles in their farming. Claude and Hervé aim to be as delicate as possible when handling the grapes. All fruit is hand-harvested in small 10 kg cases, and then sorted and mostly de-stemmed. Recently however the brothers have begun incorporating some whole cluster fermentation for the reds to add some complexity and freshness. The wines ferment with their native yeasts in temperature-controlled wooden fermenting tanks, and cuvaison typically lasts about two weeks before pressing, settling and then placing them into mostly used barrels. They have recently added foudres, which were uniquely present in the village during their grandparents’s generation. This is both a nod to tradition as well as a genuine interest in how the wines will evolve in larger oak vessels.
