Closeouts
White Burgundy Bargains
We have two amazing closeouts for you from one of Burgundy's hottest winemakers. You can call it a sign of the times but we see it as a tremendous opportunity for wine loving folks to purchase wines at incredible discounts. Christophe Cordier's wines are imported by Bobby Kacher, one of America's top suppliers of handmade, authentic, French wine. Here are the details but please act quickly as quantities are limited...

"Christophe Cordier has sky-rocketed Domaine Cordier to the forefront of Burgundy's white wine producers. A believer in low yields, harvesting only physiologically ripe fruit, and being as non-interventionist as possible, Cordier fashions Pouilly-Fuisses of other-worldly quality that are often far better than Cote de Beaune Grand Crus yet at a fraction of the price. His wines have personality, intense aromatics and flavors, as well as impeccable balance."
-Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

"This is an amazing closeout that almost sounds too good to be true. This is a sophisticated wine made with Chardonnay grapes grown in France's prestigious Burgundy region. Made with passion by one of Burgundy's best vignerons. Here's an excerpt from Robert Kacher's website: 'Christophe Cordier is one of the hottest winemakers in Burgundy. The domaine is located in Fuissé and is renowned for making first class wines from fruit grown in only the best terroirs or sites. Christophe believes the work begins with low yields, hand harvesting only physiologically ripe fruit and intervening as little as possible. Harvest usually starts at the end of September and lasts through the middle of October. All of the wines made here are fermented in wood which allows for the sublime flavor integration. The wines found here all express intense and focused aromatics while concentrated, impeccably balanced rich, long flavors take over in the mouth. The wines from Pouilly Fuissé are often thought to rival and surpass many of the top level wines found in the Côte de Beaune and at a fraction of the price.' Well said Bobby!"
-John Nash, The Wine Merchant, Ltd.

2007 Cordier Pouilly-Fuissé
Closeout Price $29.99
Compare to Wine Spectator's Price of $46
"A deft if not invisible application of wood does not fight with the expressive, airy and ripe aromas of green fruit, pear and lemon zest that precedes the rich, full and naturally sweet flavors that possess fine volume and an excellent sense of underlying energy on the dry, pure and lingering finish that really coats the mouth. Lovely."
