Leading the way are two team favorites here at K&L—a 2016 Tronquoy-Lalande crafted by the Montrose team and a 2015 Malartic-Lagravière that has thrilled us since en primeur and continues to do so today. Two thousand eighteen was a banner vintage for Domaine de Chevalier, and the same is true from Léoville-Barton and Lynch-Bages in 2019. Any list of all-timers would be incomplete without a set of 2016s. Château Margaux leads the way, but don’t miss the First Growth-inspired 2016 Forts de Latour and a pair of superlative renditions from Rauzan-Ségla and Haut-Bailly.

On the Right Bank, Laroque and Bellefont-Belcier hit new heights, once again offering remarkable value. The same can be said about the JD96-98 Barde-Haut that’s remarkably well under $40. On the Left Bank, we are thrilled to see Branaire-Ducru as one of the vintage’s best efforts, while a potential reference-point at Léoville-Barton easily merits early attention from collectors at first-tranche pricing. With releases expected from La Gaffelière, Malescot, Pichon-Lalande, and more this week, keep an eye on the site and our offers for new releases that, like the set below, brilliantly represent the magic of the ‘22s. Please note that these are futures—wines are expected to arrive in mid-2025.

Led by two of the year's most anticipated and consequential releases in Billecart-Salmon's 2010 Brut Rosé and 2008 Cuvée Nicolas-François Billecart, the selection below also features reference-point renditions of Krug, Cristal, and Dom Perignon. Of course, the most astute collectors won't overlook a newly arrived allocation of cult-favorite Egly-Ouriet's flagship Grand Cru Extra Brut. No matter your stylistic preference, no collection is complete without a healthy supply of any or all of these cherished names.

To save you the legwork, we've curated a set of some of our favorite in-stock overachievers, all of which boast serious critical accolades and a sub-$50 price point. The iconoclastic Charles Smith once again struck gold with his 98-point K Vintners Motor City Kitty Syrah, while Italy shines brightly in 2019 with stunning performances from Produttori del Barbaresco and Caiarossa. The New World Chardonnay scene is better than ever, as seen in a 97-point, sub-$35 masterpiece from Australia's Adelaide Hills, while an equally thrilling Loire Chenin Blanc should have every white wine enthusiast jumping to explore the category further.

The 2021 vintage displays the full potential of winemaker Charles van Canneyt's skills, and these highly allocated, cult-caliber gems stand tall amongst the vintage's most successful and sought-after efforts. Speaking of incredible vineyard holdings, Coquard-Loison-Fleurot still somehow flies under the radar. Allen Meadows awards these classic, terroir-driven 2021s with four Outstanding designations across the range, while Jasper Morris assigns all-time highs to the Grands Crus, highlighted by a potential 97 points for the “first class” Echezeaux. Coquard-Loison-Fleurot will soon be on collectors' shortlists all over the world, but today they remain some of the best insider's secrets in boutique Burgundy.

We're your go-to source for under-the-radar Châteaneuf standouts like Marcoux's 2020 Vieilles Vignes, "up there with the top wines of the vintage" per Jeb Dunnuck, as well as a host of near-perfect icons such as Pégau's 2020 Cuvée da Capo and new releases Beaucastel's monumental flagship red and white. Moving to the Northern Rhône, 100-point perfection abounds with all three of Guigal's mind-boggling 2019 La-las and a "pure gold" 2020 Le Pavillon Ermitage Rouge from the maestro himself, Michel Chapoutier, whose 2021s also shine at remarkable first-tranche pricing. Micro-allocations of Jamet's cult-favorite Côte-Rôtie and Chave's "heavenly" 2020 Hermitage Blanc round out a spectacularly comprehensive opportunity for any Rhône fanatic to take their cellar to incredible new heights.
