Thiébault Huber revived his grandfather's domaine in 1994 after training as a sommelier and winemaker, gradually building it to less than 10 hectares across the Côte de Beaune. He eliminated synthetic fertilizers and herbicides from the beginning, converted to organic farming and moved the entire domaine to biodynamic cultivation in 2005, with Demeter certification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClos des Chênes is one of Volnay's most important Premier Cru vineyards, and Huber-Verdereau works a particularly compelling parcel planted by Thiébault's grandfather Raoul Verdereau in 1955 using massale selection. The old vines are harvested by hand, carefully sorted twice and completely destemmed. The wine is raised in French Allier oak, with the domaine favoring restrained élevage to preserve the finesse and transparency that define Volnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe warm 2019 vintage gave this naturally structured site unusual richness without sacrificing its mineral backbone. Dark raspberry and red cherry are joined by violets, spice and earth, with a deeper, more powerful palate than one might expect from Volnay. Burghound awarded it 92 points, highlighting its richness, minerality and firmly structured finish. Production was just 900 bottles, making this a genuinely scarce old-vine Premier Cru Burgundy rather than simply another prestigious appellation on the label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"750ML","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41946680197205,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/2953\/0197\/files\/Huber-Verdereau_Volnay_Clos_du_Chenes.jpg?v=1765856968"},{"product_id":"domaine-de-montille-pommard-les-pezerolles-2023","title":"Domaine de Montille Pommard Les Pézerolles 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDomaine de Montille has been rooted in Volnay since the 18th century, and today its wines remain among the Côte de Beaune's most classical expressions. Les Pézerolles is an especially compelling Pommard because it challenges the appellation's reputation for sheer power. Situated on the northern side of Pommard, the vineyard produces a more graceful, finely textured style that the domaine itself describes as closer in profile to neighboring Volnay. De Montille's 0.89-hectare parcel lies in the heart of the premier cru, within the historic section once known as Clos de Pézerolles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.demontille.com\/en_US\/wine\/pommard-1er-cru-les-pezerolles?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"\u003eDomaine de Montille\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe domaine has farmed organically since 1995 and biodynamically since 2005, with Ecocert certification. For 2023, 33% of the fruit was vinified as whole clusters and the wine was raised in 228-liter barrels with 25% new oak. At just 12.5% alcohol, this is Burgundy built around finesse rather than weight. Black raspberry and red cherry lead into floral, earthy and subtly spiced notes, with energetic fruit and firm young tannins that should soften beautifully with time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.demontille.com\/en_US\/wine\/pommard-1er-cru-les-pezerolles?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"\u003eDomaine de Montille\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes Pézerolles particularly appealing is its combination of Pommard structure with an unusually elegant touch. Jasper Morris scored the 2023 barrel sample 90–93 points and recommends giving it until 2030, while the domaine's own assessment emphasizes the wine's vigor and need for patience.

Founded in 2013, Violin focuses on small-production Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from carefully selected vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Rather than relying on a large estate or a recognizable luxury label, Hamilton works closely with growers whose sites offer the freshness, structure and distinctive character he values. His approach emphasizes purity of fruit, restrained oak and wines that express their vineyards rather than the winemaking process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir draws almost entirely from the Eola-Amity Hills, with fruit from Witness Tree, Sojeau, Koosah Farm, Sylvia's and X-Omni vineyards, complemented by a small portion from First Man Vineyard in the Tualatin Hills. Witness Tree provides the largest component at 34%, followed by Sojeau at 20% and Koosah Farm at 19%. These vineyards contribute different expressions of Oregon Pinot Noir, from bright red fruit and floral aromatics to savory earth and mineral tension.

Eric Guido of Vinous awarded it 92 points, recognizing its vibrant fruit, freshness and impressive length.

The blend combines 37% Witness Tree, 25% Temperance Hill, 25% Sojeau and 13% Justice, with vines averaging approximately 25 years of age.
