12/13/2024 Years ago, back in the late 2000's, wines from a relatively unknown estate, L'Anglore, began making the rounds in Paris, and by 2010, were brought into New York by our own David Lillie and friend Phillipe “Fifi” Essome. Made by a humble beekeeper and grape-grower named Eric Pfifferling, who had been selling to the local co-op in Tavel/Lirac area until 2002, these wines...

12/11/2024 There is a ton of compelling wine on this offer, but we'd be remiss not to draw extra attention to the amazing collection of Barolo from Francesco Rinaldi. We've been lucky to taste the wines back to the 1940's, and they stand out for their devotion to quality, tradition, and consistency that persists until the present day. For reasons we don't quite understand,...

12/9/24 - There is always a bit of competition with neighbors, and that remains true when you talk about the Côte de Nuits vs. the Côte de Beaune. What does one expect when both areas contain some of the best vineyard sites in the whole world and they are just a quick drive away from one another. This email is by no means an...

12/8/24 - Champagne André Beaufort converted to organic agriculture in 1971 (at the same time as Georges Laval) - they are true pioneers in farming and wine-making, creating real Champagnes of terroir, always with extended sur-lie aging. (After some snafus at US customs involving "Brut Nature" all the wines are finally in the warehouse and ready for purchase and shipping. We apologize for the...

12/7/24 - Over a month ago, we had the pleasure of meeting and tasting with Marta Rovira from Mas d'en Gil, a historic estate in Priorat that has been operating since the 1860s and is currently run by Marta and her family. We talked about the "old" Priorat of the 90s, when her parents' generation focused on integrating international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and...

12/3/24 - It's a rare occurrence when a wine comes along that has each of us at Chambers Street in complete agreement, and perhaps even rarer when we can all agree that it's good! Such was the case last week when our friend Hannah at Polaner left us a bottle of the 2023 Arnot-Roberts Trousseau, which had all of us singing its praises before...

12/2/24 - Pascal Mugneret took over his father’s domaine in 2005 and started off his role by eliminating the use of herbicides. By 2010 the use of synthetic sprays was discontinued and biodynamic methods were introduced. Even with these viticultural changes, Pascal believes that the wines still carry his father’s style: inviting, generous, and "gourmand." As Pascal describes, “we observed more suppleness in our...

11/30/24 - We're always looking for estates in Burgundy that practice certified organic or biodynamic farming, so we were very happy to find Domaine Céline Perrin in Ladoix which converted to organic agriculture in 2003. The estate sells most of their small production to local clients and restaurants, so we're fortunate to have this additional allocation of the 2022s. The wines display the lovely...

11/25/24 - How often are you able to truly get in on the ground floor of a new domaine, especially in Burgundy where so many are rooted in multiple generations? 2022 is the inaugural vintage of Famille Messager-Germain and it is evident that it won’t be long before it is a household name. I was lucky enough to visit the young couple, Simon Messager...
