A Châteauneuf Icon Leads the Way in 2021
Andrew Kitz, K&L Editing Lead
Newly arrived in stock, the 2021 Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape continues this estate's enviable track record as one of the reference-point wines of the region and vintage. The team at Beaucastel chose to include a higher proportion of Mourvèdre in the blend this year, giving the wine an extra dimension of depth in a vintage that otherwise leans toward the more medium-bodied style. Fans of the estate will surely find much to love here, as this wine will perform well out of the gate but also take on further complexity in the medium term.

The Latest Limited Release of a Condrieu Standard-Bearer
Andrew Kitz, K&L Editing Lead
Guigal's trio of Côte-Rôtie "La Las" get their much-deserved acclaim year after year, but no less stunning (or less consistent) is the incredible, top-tier Condrieu La Doriane. Made from five of the appellation's greatest vineyards (including Colombier, Côte Chatillon, and Côteau de Chéry), it wows critics and sets the standard for Northern Rhône white wines year after year. At razor-sharp pricing well below $100, it becomes all the more compelling. And unlike many of its very best competitors, this Condrieu is solidly built to age and will cruise for several years to come.

Beau Mistral is the latest discovery from on the value front, with old-vine parcels that produce uncommonly complex and contentrated wines with tremendous character, all for sub-$20 prices.
