Our four-decade history of working with négociants and distributors also allows us nearly unrivaled access to gems that will line the cellars of collectors for years to come. Today we have some of our most compelling collectibles, distilled into a single offer. There's something for everyone: from one-time pricing from California to the modern-era legends of Bordeaux, and everything in between. These are wines to build a cellar around and will be treasures to pull corks on for the years to come. [Bouchard L'Enfant] Reference-Point Bordeaux from 2009 & 2010 Whether it is the delicious, undeniable 2009s or the structured, epic 2010s, there are few vintages that hold the same regard as the best of these back-to-back years. They are wines that continue to confirm their stature as the years pass, and it is easy to see why they've become favorites for collectors. Today's set includes James Suckling's WOTY 2009 Malescot along with Robert Parker 100-pointers from Pontet-Canet, Ducru-Beaucaillou, and Pape-Clément. There are also two vintages of fan-favorite Lynch-Bages that echo the living legends from 1989 and 1990.

For an estate with a centuries-long history, it's amazing to see them only getting better and better over the years. Today's selections are from banner vintages, many at prices you won't find elsewhere. One-time pricing on 2007 "Cuvée Louis" leads the way, but a "Nicolas François" from the famed 2002 vintage will be hard to resist. The new release "Cuvée Elisabeth" '08 brings it to the next level and will be one to follow for decades to come. Vintage Item Name Score Retail Link 2007 Billecart-Salmon "Cuvée Louis" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne (Elsewhere $175) 95 $129.99 [View]( 2007 Billecart-Salmon "Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart" Brut Champagne 97 $129.99 [View]( 2002 Billecart-Salmon "Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart" Brut Champagne (Previously $180) 98 $149.99 [View]( 2008 Billecart-Salmon "Cuvée Elisabeth" Brut Rosé Champagne 98 $199.99 [View]( Limited Allocations from 2019 Red Burgundy Without a doubt, 2019 is the next great vintage for red Burgundy. As William Kelley from Wine Advocate says, "these are wines that all Burgundy lovers are going to want to secure for their cellars." We agree but also urge collectors to strike early, as allocations have been incredibly sparse. Below you'll find some of the region's most renowned examples, including Bouchard's critically acclaimed "Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus," a spellbinding l'Arlot "Clos des Forêts-St-Georges," and Faiveley's amazing "Clos des Cortons."

Such is the case with the wines you'll find below—all are highly rated, are terrific examples of their category, and can be had at incredibly rewarding prices. Three Napa Cabs are at the heart of this list, including a 96-point Galerie "Pleinair," a classic Spring Mountain from Robert Craig, and fan-favorite Grand Napa. Pinot lovers won't want to miss WA94 Burgundy ringer Trisaetum "Estates Reserve" at nearly 50% off, while a new find from Tessier brings out the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

We're reaching the end of the campaign, and the top selections from 2016 will be gone before you know it. For now, however, there are still some quintessential examples to be had, from top Crus to up-and-coming producers. The latter is wonderfully represented by names like Diego Conterno and Voerzio-Martini, while classics from Marcarini, Massolino, and Luigi Oddero show that classic estates are also at the top of their game.

Marqués de Murrieta is crafting one masterpiece after another, and their 2010 "Castillo Ygay" Gran Reserva Especial exemplifies the heights they can reach. Availability has been few and far between—not only does this acclaim drive global demand sky high, but it was also a wine that was subject to tariffs (which have since gone away). Today's allocation is one of the few times we've been able to offer it since release, and for those looking for an iconic wine from Spain, it doesn't get much better than this. Vintage Item Name Score Retail Link 2010 Marqués de Murrieta "Castillo Ygay" Gran Reserva Especial Rioja (Pre-Arrival) 99 $179.99 [View]( 2010 Marqués de Murrieta "Castillo Ygay" Gran Reserva Especial Rioja 6-Pack in OWC (Pre-Arrival) 99 $1,075.00 [View]( 2019 in the Southern Rhône: Châteauneuf's Next Great Vintage One of the great things about Châteauneuf is that its top wines are so remarkably affordable. Delivering the finest Grenache expressions in the world, all of these wines come with astounding critical acclaim, but none of them are over $100. And these are some of the most pedigreed, renowned domaines in the region—Beaucastel, Vieux Télégraph, and Mordorée. Le Vieux Donjon also might be one of the best buys in the region right now, while Janasse's Vieilles Vignes can possibly rival their all-timers from 2007, 2010, and 2016.

From Bordeaux, Neal Martin awarded rare perfect scores for 2016 Figeac and 2016 Cos d'Estournel, two potential legends from this historic vintage. Pontet-Canet's 2016 hit the same mark from Wine Enthusiast, a score that rivals the famed 2009 and 2010. Rhône enthusiasts can find 100-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck for L'Aventure's "Estate Cuvée," Saint Prefert's rare "Charles Giraud," and benchmark examples from classic estates Auguste Clape and Clos des Papes.
