9/23/2024 [Photo Courtesy of Polaner Selections] Domaine de Montille is drenched in history from their almost 300 years in Burgundy. The estate dates back to the 1730’s but for times sake I will fast forward to 1947 when Hubert de Montille took over. At the time, the family only had 2.5 hectares of vines, mainly in Volnay and Pommard. During the 1940’s, 90% of...

9/22/2024 On Thursday 26th of September at 7pm, we are very happy to welcome to Chambers Restaurant at 94 Chambers Street, Ian Tattersall (pictured above with friend) one of the world's most celebrated anthropologists. Curator Emeritus of the American Museum of Natural History in NY, Ian is a paleoanthropologist focusing his current work on the human acquisition of symbolic style of consciousness (in his...

9/21/2024 Back in August, we featured a new selection of the extraordinary organic Champagnes of André Beaufort, with vintages dating back to 2002! This small shipment featured many of the vintages we have recently enjoyed, but with the essential difference that most wines in this offer were Brut Nature, recently disgorged. Certainly among the most natural and terroir-expressive wines of Champagne, it was exciting...

9/20/2024 The wines of Château Le Puy in Bordeaux need no introduction for many, but should be on the radar for anyone seeking something unforgettable in their wine experience. Often referred to as the Burgundy of Bordeaux, their flagship bottling, the Emilien, is the most elegant and finessed wine from Bordeaux that I have ever had. We typically are only able to offer the...

9/17/24 - What do you get when you cross Pinot Noir with Gouais Blanc? Only everyone’s second favorite white wine grape in Burgundy, none other than Aligoté. For far too long it has been looked down upon as a lesser grape, however some of the top winemakers on the scene have been taking the time (and vineyard space) to create magnificent representations of this...

9/16/24 - (Photo: Marc Olivier) The Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet "Les Gras Moutons" is one of the most versatile and crowd-pleasing of all Muscadet! While 2023 was a difficult vintage in much of the Loire Valley, in Muscadet on the west and in Sancerre and the upper Loire in the east, excellent wines were produced combining lovely fruit with firm acidities. It's the best...

9/14/24 - (Photo - Plowing at Domaine Claudie Jobard) Our recent private cellar offerings have included some rare and beautiful wines from the most prestigious vineyards in Burgundy. And while it's a great thrill to open a Bonnes Mares or Charmes-Chambertin on a special occasion, Chambers Street is also a superb source of outstanding Burgundies for those of us who like to enjoy these...

9/9/2024 [Guillaume and Tomoko (Photo: Grand Cru Selections)] Since our esteemed colleague Sam Ehrlich moved on from Chambers Street Wines in late 2022, we have not had a dedicated Burgundy buyer at the shop. We did our best to keep up with the allocations, the unique opportunities to offer vintage wines, and of course the new and exciting producers and winemaking projects that the...

9/7/2024 It has been my intention to write an email about unfortified Palomino from the Sherry region for several years. I can't explain why it hasn't happened until now, but I'm glad that I "waited" (or just never got around to it), as the timing could not be better. There are only a handful of producers focused on making unfortified, and in most cases,...

9/5/2024 It's always a special day when we get to write about wines made by someone truly close to us, in this case, a dear friend who enriched our lives while she was in New York City, and who went on to champion real wine at Restaurant Candide in Montreal before winding up in Austria and settling down in Germany, where she now makes...

9/3/2024 Although the map above doesn’t show all the regions in France where Pinot Noir is grown (the Jura & Loire to name a few), the idea is more to show how much is grown in Germany for well over 1000 years, being the third largest producer worldwide after the USA and France. We’ll be looking at Pinots from different regions in Germany, where...
