Bourgogne rouge domaine d'Ardhuy	Bourgogne AOC	2006	¥3,025	¥32,670
“A relatively high-toned red berry fruit nose with moderately earthy middle weight labors that are round, sweet and nicely detailed and while there is a trace of finishing rusticity, it’s mild. While this is not a wine of finesse, there is good character and this is a better than average example of the genre crafted in a forward style.” Allen Meadows Click here to see the complete wine description: Bottle price ¥3,025 Case price 10% off ¥32,670 240 bottles available early March

Gevrey Chambertin domaine d'Ardhuy	Gevrey Chambertin AOC	2005	¥	¥
Under the now capable direction of the young Régisseur (estate manager) Carel Voorhuis, this big old line producer of frankly mediocre wines has decided to get serious about quality. Blessed with superb holdings spread over 42 ha in 35 different crus spread from Puligny to Gevrey, this domaine has the wherewithal to challenge some of Burgundy's best if it really decides to do what's necessary. According to Voorhuis, the radically changed practices that were put in place beginning with the 2003 vintage were continued in 2005 and while the superior quality of the 2005 vintage is clearly Click here to see the complete wine description: 24 bottles available early March
Aloxe Corton Chaillots domaine d'Ardhuy	Aloxe Corton Premier Cru	2003	¥	¥
The Aloxe Corton premier Cru les chaillots is a structure and powerful wine for laying down. It is most impressive for its richness and body than rather than for its fruits or elegance. A great wine which compliments full-flavored meat dishes such as Beef Burgundy or Coq au Vin or better yet, Game. Click here to see the complete wine description: 36 bottles available early March

Clos des Langres	Cote de Nuits-Villages Domaine	2005	¥5,950	¥64,260
The headquarters of Domaine d'Ardhuy are located in the Chateau of the Clos des Langres, the last estate in the Cote de Nuits, bordering on the Cote de Beaune. Domaine d'Ardhuy is blessed with just over one hundred acres of vineyards spread over 35 different crus from Puligny to Gevrey. While for many years the wines from this estate were good at best, they have a enjoyed a renaissance that's nothing short of extraordinary since 2003 when the winemaking duties were taken over by Carel Voorhuis. This is an estate to watch in the coming years. Ardhuy's specialty: a rich wine with a long finish hailing from a single vineyard in the Côtes de Nuits. Located between Ladoix and Corgoloin, Clos des Langres has been recognized for the quality of its products since the 11th century. This is a beautiful, single-vineyard cru from the Côte de Nuits. Grown in limestone atop pearly flagstone soils, the Pinot Noir grapes are hand-harvested, vinified, and then aged in French oak barrels (one third new) for a year before bottling. A dense red ruby colored wine with a touch of purple on the rim announces a complex nose of red cherries and blackcurrant flavors. Serious dark fruit aromas and an intense earthiness in the palate associated with a light acidity and smooth tannins give this wine a real depth. Drink now to 2020.Pair With: Duck, Game, Quiche, Roast Chicken. Domaine d'Ardhuy is a fastest improving producer in Bourgogne.

Puligny Montrachet domaine d'Ardhuy	Puligny Montrachet premier cru	2005	¥11,240	¥121,392
We now come to a town where many feel the finest dry white wines in the world are produced. What makes Puligny-Montrachet so special? More than anything else it is the balance and harmony. The result is a finesse and breed that sets Puligny-Montrachet apart. In addition, Pulignys are noted for having a steely, vibrant core in the very center of their flavors. When young, they are lean and hard, but the balance of elements allows aging (6 to 8+ years for a 1er Cru) and consequently the wines develop great complexity. Sous le Puits 2005 has a pronounced minerality, which develops more flower aromas that Puligny Montrachet village which is next to it. Powerful and rich, it associates elegance, length and indeed very well-balanced.

Meursault Pellans domaine d'Ardhuy	Meursault AOC	2006	¥9,200	¥99,360
Meursault is one of the best appellations for the white Burgundies. Located in the southern part of Meursault, near Puligny-Montrachet, this wine is grown in sand, limestone and clay soils. The juice was fermented in French oak barrels (25% new), and matured on lees for a year. The production is limited to a very low 18 hectoliters per acre to ensure optimal fruit quality. An expressive and enveloping nose of roasted hazelnut and fresh orchard fruit aromas, particularly peach and pear give way to delicious, round and vibrant flavors underpinned by excellent acid/fruit/fat balance that gives the finish that lovely quality of nervous tension.
