Lewis Kopman spent many years as a fine-and-rare buyer and private client specialist at Le Du's Wines in the West Village, where he fell in love with the great wines of Portugal. In 2022 he left his job as a retailer to found GK Selections, focused on highlighting the very best wines of Portugal and bringing them to the US market. He travels and tastes extensively in Portugal and brings his discoveries to fantastic restaurants and retailers across the US.
Domaine de la Pépière's Muscadet "Clisson" is one of the greatest values in French wine. Year after year, it delivers an invigoratingly crisp, textured, multi-layered wine that drinks beautifully in its youth, and has the ability to age and improve for decades. After frost wiped out the entire 2021 harvest from this site, we are so excited to have the freshly released 2022 to share with you and it’s a total stunner.
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey hardly needs an introduction at this point, but here’s the long and short of it: he was an early master of a style of white Burgundy that has now become very popular: less oaky (thanks in part to larger barrels), no lees-stirring, earlier picked, a bit more reductive. He received tons of critical acclaim, and allocations for his wines are fiercely sought after by collectors.
But what we love most about PYCM is his championing of Burgundy’s so-called lesser terroirs, like Saint-Aubin or Pernand-Vergelesses, which happens to be his home base.
Kermit Lynch is shipping us our allocation of 2023 Lavantureux Chablis, and we couldn't be more excited to give you a preview.
