The Cult Barolo of Giacomo Fenocchio, Tuesday September 22

Amid the mythic hills of Bussia, one of Barolo's first and finest crus, you'll find the tiny estate of Giacomo Fenocchio. With only 14 hectares under vine on some of Monforte d'Alba's most beloved plots, Fenocchio's bottlings are crafted with a low-intervention approach, resulting lively, ethereal nebbiolo expressions that will age for decades to come. On Tuesday, September 22, we welcome Letizia Fenocchio, the future winemaker for one of the world's greatest Barolo producers who will present not one, not two, not three, four, or five, but SIX stunning cuvées of Barolo from across her family's Bussia and Cannubi plots, including their legendary "90 Dì" bottling (plus their crisp, crunchy Arneis as late-summer lagniappe). A night not to be missed.

THE PATRON SAINT EDIT

France's Oldest Organic Vineyards

Introducing the Patron Saint Edit, a weekly curated offer on bottles we can’t stop thinking about, difficult to source cuvées, and unusual gems that belong in your cellar. Our current offer: take up to 20% off the old-vine time capsules of Clos du Vignes du Maynes.

Once a year, we receive the wines of Julien Guillot, the current steward of Clos du Vignes du Maynes. Building on his grandfather's vision of naturally farmed vineyards surrounded by wild tracts of forest, Julien Guillot has forged a system of biodynamic farming in shepherding his old-vine Chardonnay, Aligoté, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, all grown from selection massale cuttings (non-clone vines derived from exceptional rootstock). He's ensconced himself so deeply into the historic records of the property that he was once inspired to reenact a medieval harvest, oxcarts and all. Every wine I've tried is wildly expressive, leaping from the glass with a kind of unbridled enthusiasm.
