Domaine Raymond Usseglio 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale
$89.99Southern Rhone Valley France
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
Most of the vInes for the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale were planted in 1902, mainly Grenache, with a few other scattered plants of other varieties. Full-bodied and concentrated, it boasts massive flavors of raspberries and cherries, with just enough herbal intricacies woven into the fabric of the wine to impart a sense of lightness and freshness—it positively tingles on the long, long finish. Produced from biodynamically grown fruit at yields just half the maximum permitted by the appellation (16–18 hectoliters per hectare, versus 35), it's a tremendous effort. R11-2 SPBX-12 -

This red has already settled in with some gamy, truffle and spice tones to the core of black cherry, plum and earth flavors. Rich and supple, with juiciness midpalate and terrific length. Drink now through 2038. R12-1 SP4-5 -
Domaine Saint-Damien 2017 “Cuvée Clovis Saurel” Gigondas
$59.99Southern Rhone Valley France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Another remarkable effort is the 2017 Gigondas Clovis Saurel, which is a single vineyard cuvée made from 100% Grenache. Rock star notes of kirsch and mulled dark fruits are intermixed with lots of sappy flowers and incense aromas and flavors. It's deep and full-bodied, with a wonderful sense of elegance and purity and ultra-fine tannins. It's going to benefit from a year or three of bottle age and cruise in cool cellars for 10-15 years.

A perfect wine that’s up with the top handful of wines in this incredible vintage, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Collection Charles Giraud (60/40 Grenache and Mourvèdre) boasts a sensational nose of currants, cured meats, kirsch, exotic spices, and sandalwood. Deep, full-bodied and powerful, yet with an incredible sense of elegance and purity, it just glides across the palate and, despite its awesome intensity, it never seems heavy or over the top. -

Impressive complexity and poise from the outset with aromas of sliced peach and nectarine, as well as pear and honeydew. Some wet stones, too. The palate has impressive fluidity with intense, fleshy pears and white peaches, threaded with a savory, toasted-hazelnut edge. Drink or hold. SPA10-1 -

$89.99Burgundy France
Vinous 95 Rating
The 2018 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru has a delectable nose, exquisitely defined and featuring vivid citrus lemon, apricot and subtle hazelnut scents; a touch of crushed stone becomes evident with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. So much energy is coiled up in this Chablis, and the captivating, mineral-driven finish really gets the most out of this Grand Cru vineyard. Superb. R31-6 SPB2-1 -
