Somm's Picks Aug 2024

Pick 1: Old World Wine Pick

Ch. Barde Haut 2018

Barde Haut is one of the gems of St Emilion! The wine is loaded with dark fruit, vanilla, espresso, undertones of mint and clay that will continue to develop in the bottle for years but is so enjoyable today that it may be hard to keep in your collection.

Pick 3: The Great Ones

Chamirey Mercury 1er Cru

A polished and elegant Pinot Noir, this 1er cru exemplifies what people are looking for from Burgundy. The nose is loaded with blackberries and cassis, with aromas of licorice, pepper, chocolate, and purple flowers. The palate follows through with easy drinking tannins and additional notes of Mercury’s minerality.

Pick 4: Value Spot Light

Ch. De Bligny Brut NV

Grower Champagnes are typically more expensive than your usual large houses but this De Bligny delivers all the complexity and elegance of a grower at an unbelievable price! Flavors of Marzipan, candied apricot, chalk, peaches, and white flowers, all with a clean finish make this just an incredible Champagne.
