A blend of 69% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 9% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc. Try after 2024. - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
95 Points! This cuvée has been in the running for the best second wine in the vintage for a number of years now, and I think it just might be there in 2018. The 2018 Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge checks in as 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, and it's no lightweight effort, revealing a dense purple color as well as gorgeous crème de cassis, black cherry, crushed violets, sandalwood, smoke tobacco, and incense. It's loaded with Château Margaux character, has medium to full-bodied richness, ample structure, and a great finish. I followed this bottle for multiple days and it only improved with air. Don't underestimate this second wine – it's incredibly impressive. Hide bottles for 3-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades. - Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com

Georges Noellat Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2016
$239.98HURRY, ONLY 0 LEFT!QuickviewVM91RP94Out of stock93 Points! The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is showing well from bottle, unwinding in the glass to offer up a youthfully reserved bouquet of blackberries, cherries, plums, grilled game bird, rich soil and smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and voluptuous, with a succulent core of fruit, vibrant fruit flavors and a fine-grained framing of structuring tannins. It's appreciably more reserved than earlier renditions of this cuvée, perhaps because Maxime Cheurlin now has an air-conditioned cellar and is maturing his wine for two winters in barrel. It will be interesting to follow its evolution over the coming decade. - William Kelley, robertparker.comLearn More -

Charcoal, espresso roast, blackcurrants and spice are all present in this medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, relatively evolved and precocious Haut-Bergey, which is just now attaining its plateau of maturity. Soft tannins and an attractive plushness are followed by a wine capable of drinking well for another decade or more. - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate91 Points! Aromas of mineral, blackberry and licorice lead to a full body, with lots of racy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. There's plenty of character, with a polished, refined style, yet tannic. - James Suckling, Wine SpectatorLearn More -

Moutard Brut Grande Cuvee NV
$38.98QuickviewHURRY, ONLY 10 LEFT!92 points! The NV Brut Grand Cuvée is superb. Sourced from Buxeuil and Polisy in the Côte des Bar, the Grand Cuvée is a terrific expression of Pinot Noir. It is bright and focused, with wonderful depth, textural intensity and notes of dried pear, white flowers, and spice. There's gorgeous precision here. The 10 grams of dosage is not felt. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, 2023Learn More Agrapart et Fils Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les 7 Crus
