2020 Meursault

Domaine Roulot was founded in 1830 by Guillaume Roulot near the village of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. The Meursault appellation is dominated by Chardonnay and is known for its high-quality dry white wines from village and premier cru vineyards, despite having no grand cru sites.

Domaine Roulot established itself in the upper echelon of white Burgundy producers under the late Guy Roulot.

Guy was one of the first producers of the region to bottle single vineyards separately, including village lieux-dits. He died in 1982 and his son Jean-Marc took over in 1989, farming the vineyards organically.

The 2020 Meursault Villages is bright, linear and sculpted. Jean-Marc Roulot did a terrific job in preserving freshness and verve in his village-level Meursault.

Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and crushed rocks are all laced together in this steely, nervy Meursault. The Villages is a blend of several parcels on the lower slopes of town; namely Clos de la Baronne, Gruyaches and Sous la Velle, plus a touch of young-vine fruit from Porusots Dessus.

2014 Chambolle Musigny

Georges Roumier is a Burgundian Estate that is revered by all and almost impossible to find.

From their base in Chambolle they make wines of elegance and grace.

Burghound review:
“This is also quite fresh with its more elegant array of red and blue pinot fruit, rose petal and soft spice nuances.

There is excellent delineation to the vibrant and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the saline and linear finale.

Note: contains some premier cru juice from Fuées

Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Clematis Vitalba, Claire Naudin 2021

Claire Naudin: The little wildflowers, typical of the Hautes Côtes, give their names to Claire’s famous flower bottlings. These wines are made with the aim of not adding any sulphur in order to reveal a better expression of the appellation. They are all bottled unfiltered.

“We have selected our best plot of Chardonnay, with the aim of ensuring alternative vinification (without the addition of sulphites) for a better expression of the appellation. - “Les Tilles”: located in the commune of Magny lès Villers. East facing.
..The nose is beautifully complex, combining minerality, toasted wood, citrus and pineapple. The palate is pure and well structured... The whole is harmonious and can age for a few years. It is a fleshy and deep balance.”

2006 Clos Du Mesnil 🍾

This is a fabulous edition of Clos du Mesnil. The pure chardonnay is magnificent with density and agility at the same time. Apple and mineral notes with cream and biscuit character.

Citrus and hints of mirabelle. Chalky, yet stony at the same time. Layered, yet linear and really long. But remains subtle.

The acidity is so precise and focuses the flavors and nature.

Lasts for minutes. Even better than the 2004.

Drink or hold.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg 2002 🍷

95 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

“I had not tried the ‘02 Riche in several years so it was interesting to see how it’s progressing.

The expressive though very cool nose is finally beginning to display the initial hints of maturity with the classic dried rose petal and spice nuances adding both elegance and breadth to the pretty mix of red fruit and plum scents.

There is a beguiling mouth feel to the intensely mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that are at once powerful but sleek, all wrapped in a muscular and palate staining finish.

The refined palate impression is considerably enhanced by the dense but extremely fine tannins, in fact so much so that while this is still very clearly on the way up it could actually be drunk now with pleasure.

That said I would still strongly advise holding this strikingly pretty effort for another 6 to 10 years first.” 04/15

🍾

Bérêche et Fils was founded in 1847, creating complex, terroir-driven Champagne for over 150 years.

Now headed by the young and innovative duo, Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche, the family’s nine hectares of fruit are farmed chemical-free and biodynamically, with cork closures used for secondary fermentation.

The 2013 ‘Rilly-la-Montagne’ is rich and aromatic, with persistent bubbles, tart fruit flavors, & distinct minerality. Pair with savory dishes!

The first nose is deep and intensely fruity. Freshness and purity quickly give way to fine golden notes, like a pastry.

The balance is evident. The Premier Cru terroir of Rilly la Montagne is well represented by the well-balanced limestone structure.

A few notes of candied oranges precede a coated, and very long finish.

Domaine Bernard Moreau Grand Cru ‘Chevalier-Montrachet’ 2018

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comprises three barrels this year, has an expressive bouquet of crushed stone mixed with Granny Smith apples and fleeting hints of white peach.

The palate is supremely well balanced, delivering superb weight and pe*******on; the intense flavors of orange peel and sour lemon dovetail into discreet passion fruit and pawpaw notes toward the finish.

Of course, there is outstanding mineralité throughout this Grand Cru.

An awesome Chevalier-Montrachet.

Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2016

Les Chevalieres lies just above the village of Meursault where the slope follows at the same altitude as the premier cru’s just a little further south.

Chevalieres adjoins Les Luchets which is positioned against the top part of this lieu-dit.

This showed a tiny bit of struck-match SO2 complexity.

Despite the hint of reduction, this showed lovely fine floral lift over what is clearly a very deep and rich wine showing obvious real old vine intensity.

This is a real step up in intensity and character with the cooler site adding a little more acidity and lift to the wine. A fabulous village Meursault

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2019 🍷

“Rockford can only be described as an icon, no matter how overused that word may be.” James Halliday

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz, like Penfolds Grange, is one of Australia’s most collected and most cherished red wines. Fruit is sourced from some of the best old Barossa vineyards with vine age from 60 to 130 years.

“Deep, bold red colour laced with purple; plum pudding, fruitcake and subtle herb aromas, a suggestion of roasting meats, oak not discernible, but the fruit is savoury, mellow and not especially primary. It’s medium-full bodied and the same softly savoury but drying tannins and flavours are present, all consistent with the maker’s style. There is a restrained fruit sweetness at its core, and appealing balance in the flavour, bouquet and mouth-feel. Good length and satisfying to drink. A sotto voce Basket Press, drinking well already. Drink 2022-2037.”

Domaine Prieuré Roch Vin De France blanc 2020

Founded by Henry-Frédéric Roch in 1988, Domaine Prieuré Roch owns around twenty hectares in the prestigious villages of Burgundy ( Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, etc. ).

Committed to organic farming and natural winemaking, no synthetic products are used. The wines, pure and sensual, are the result of meticulous attention to the vine and vinification in whole bunches, without the addition of sulfites.

This exquisite Chardonnay undergoes whole bunch fermentation to retain its fresh fruit character and acidity. Sourced from approximately 30-year-old vines, the wine is fermented with skin contact, imparting notes of burnt orange peel and spice.

2020 Bourgogne Aligote

The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligote 2020 is an enchanting white wine that exemplifies the winemaker’s commitment to creating exceptional expressions of the Aligote grape.

On the nose, this wine presents a lively combination of crisp green apples, tangy lemon and delicate white flowers. These alluring aromas create an inviting and invigorating experience.

The first sip reveals a burst of lively citrus flavors, including tangy lemon and juicy grapefruit. These vibrant flavors are complemented by hints of green apple and a subtle touch of minerality, contributing to the wine’s depth and complexity.

Impressing with its well-balanced acidity, the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bourgogne Aligote 2021 offers a refreshing and revitalizing sensation on the palate. Its medium body and smooth texture make it a delightful choice for various occasions.

As the wine lingers, it concludes with a clean and crisp finish.

We have limited 2022 vintage available now!

6L @torbreckbarossa 2002 #lesamis 🍷 Les Amis, which means “the friends” in French, was founded by four partners - Stockbroker, Desmond Lim; Gynaecologist, Dr Chong Yap Seng; Executive Chef Justin Quek and former Sommelier, Ignatius Chan. The partners wanted to bring the finer aspects of French cuisine to Singapore, to be served in a setting that offers the ultimate dining experience, the four partners created Les Amis Restaurant, which opened on 15th March 1994. Through the shared passion and experience in wine appreciation of the partners, Les Amis’ wine list soon gained international recognition. Since 1997, the flagship restaurant’s wine list has been a consistent recipient of the Wine Spectator’s “Grand Award”, possibly one of the highest levels of achievements in the F&B industry. In 2001 Ignatius Chan requested Torbreck Founder David Powell to create a single vineyard wine compatible with Les Amis’ French styled cuisine. The result was this 100% single vineyard Grenache from 129 year old bush vines in Greenock, aged entirely in new French oak barrique. #torbreckbar #barossawine #aussiewine #australianwine #torbrecklesamis #torbrecklesamis2002 #lesamis2002 #torbreck6L #rarewine #winecollectors #wineculture #imperial #methuselah #torbreck2002 #grenache
