And here are a few of our latest arrivals in our cellar:
New: A.J. Adam (Dhron, Mosel)
We are happy to present you an exciting new discovery from yet another talented German up-and-coming superstar vintner - A.J Adam in Drhon (Mosel). andreas Adam is talented, self-confident and ambitious, seeking unapologetically for the maximum expression of his Riesling wines. His winery is still small, but Andreas plans to expand his holdings over the next years. His wines are produced as naturally as possible, no added yeasts, no fining, long elevage on the fine lees and careful bottling are the goals here, delivering wines of brilliant definition and focus, with piercing minerality and high impact and length on the palate, yet remaining light on their feet. In fact, such wines cannot be copied anywhere in the world! The wine critics have already noticed the class of his Rieslings, be it the classic off-dry Kabinett and Spätlese (plus one Auslese in 2008), or the "dry-tasting" wines Drhoner Riesling and Hofberg Riesling (which do not carry the "trocken" designation). In 2008, Andreas has also decided to produce a single dry wine equivalent to a "Großes Gewächs" (GG) - Adam is not a member of the VDP so he cannot use this designation, but that is simply nomenclature...
David Schildknecht of Parker's Wine Advocate awarded incredible 94 points for the Kabinett 2007 and even 95 points for his Hofberg Riesling 2007. This is in fact the best rating of any dry Riesling in Germany of 2007. We are convinced that the quality of his new collection of the year 2008 is equally good, although probably less flattering in their youth. We are happy to offer his most important wines also in Magnum - although the quantity is limited!
The wines were received in our warehouse at the beginning of September, and can already be ordered through our website!
New: Alex Gambal
We love the wines from Alex already for quite some time, but only this year there was a chance to offer his fabulous wines exclusively in Germany! We are convinced that you will find much to like with his balanced wines built on finesse and elegance. Although Gambal's wines never get the highest scores from the famous critics, tasting them is for most people a true revelation, as has been proven time and time again. We offer his excellent Bourgogne Rouge Les Deux Papies, two village wines of very different character (Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne Romanée Vieilles Vignes), a premier cru Chambole Charmes and his excellent Clos Vougeot. From his whites, we settled on his premier cru Saint Aubin Murgers des Dents de Chien and his Corton Charlemagne which both convince with a lot of power, longevity(!) and a nice underlying minerality. We invite you to try a few of his wines - you won't be disappointed!
New: Jean-Philippe Fichet
We are very happy (and a little proud) to offer the fabulous whites of Jean Philippe Fichet beginning with the vintage 2007.
Although Jean Philippe mostly works with village lieux-dits, the results achieved my meticulous farming and a hands-off approach for the winemaking are truly impressive. His Bourgogne VV is a reference standard wine for the appelation and in our view plays in the same league as many Meursaults from other producers. And his Meursault range is stunning, from his Meursault village (a cuvée from many different parcels), to his big three, Les Gruyaches, Les Chevalieres and Le Tesson. If one looks for intensity and minerality without undue wood influence these wines should fit that bill!
New: Jean-Claude Bessin – Chablis
We have for quite some time looked for another producers in Chablis to complement our offers from William Fèvre and found the wines of Jean-Claude Bessin (through a tip from Bill Nanson's excellent Burgundy Report). After tasting the wines, it was clear that we wanted to present these wines to our customers. They are quite a bit lower in price than the offers from Fèvre, and offer an excellent QPR. But make no mistake, these wines are very serious and are Chablis with bracing acidity and minerality to burn. If you like cut and precision in your Chablis, Bessin's wines are not to be missed!
Janisson Baradon – Champagne
A true new discovery for us - Champagne with true personality from this small house (9ha) in Epernay led by Cyril Janisson. Apart from his Rosé, most wines of Cyril Janisson are a 50/50 blend (Pinot Noir/Chardonnay) aged a few years on the lees,. The result is impressive throughout the range offered here. His Brut Selection puts many Champagne bottlings from famous big houses to shame, such is the quality of this wine. Cyril also offers a NV Grande Reserve that aged 5 years on its lees, and also offers a fine Non-Dosé. Champagne without dosage is not always successful, but Cyril's work in the vineyard and in the cellar is top-notch, leading to a rather dry, but very balanced Champagne without dosage that is a perfect accompaniment for sushi or as an aperitif.
The prices for these singular wines are -compared to the quality offered in the bottle - almost to good to be true. He has so far not been discovered by the mainstream wine press, which certainly helps to keep the prices reasonable. If you are looking for shampagne with great personality at a great price then Janisson-Baradon Champagnes should be on your short-list!
