Winemaker Notes 2018 vintage began late, due to a cool and dry winter – conditions that persisted through the entirety of the growing season. The moderate heat throughout the summer and early fall provided optimal conditions for the steady ripening of the key color, tannin, and flavor compounds. A long hangtime was possible this year because there were none of the major heat spikes we have become accustomed to in recent decades. This provided optimal maturity of the essential phenolics while Brix accumulated slowly, and yielded perfectly healthy, fresh grapes at harvest. In the cellar, our grapes were treated gently, given extended maceration times to extract the lovely flavors and texture present in the grapes, and we incorporated a large percentage of native fermentations this year. The resulting wines made from this vintage are extraordinarily refined, exuding aromatic and textural depth that is immediately apparent in the glass. About Winery Skipstone is tucked between two stunning hillsides in the mountains above Alexander Valley.

Uncompromising in our standards of sustainability and treatment of the land, we are committed to nurturing the precious resource that is our 200 acre estate.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine des Chézeaux, based in Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, was created in 1982 from the vineyard holdings of the Mercier family, who became the largest owners of Griotte-Chambertin and also held prized parcels in Clos Saint-Denis, Chambertin, and Gevrey 1er Crus. For decades, the estate’s wines were produced under long-term métayage agreements by renowned domaines such as Laurent Ponsot, René Leclerc, and Domaine Berthaut, meaning the name Chézeaux was little known despite its exceptional terroirs. In 2021, Charles van Canneyt and his wife Anne-Sophie acquired the domaine, gradually regaining control of its vineyards through complex negotiations under Burgundy law. This marked a new chapter, unifying the estate under their vision and allowing Domaine des Chézeaux to fully express its potential as a discreet but highly endowed Burgundy property.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Leflaive, based in Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, traces its roots back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive settled in the village, but its modern form was shaped by Joseph Leflaive (1870–1953), a naval engineer who purchased 25 hectares of vineyards in 1905 during the post-phylloxera downturn; beginning in 1920, he replanted with better rootstocks and gradually built a reputation for exceptional Chardonnay, particularly from grands crus like Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet; under later generations, the domaine became a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, fully converting in 1996, and today it spans about 24 hectares, including significant premier and grand cru holdings, producing some of the most sought-after and highly regarded white wines in the world.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer, based in Magny-lès-Villers between Beaune and Nuits-Saint-Georges, has its roots in the Jayer-Gilles estate founded in 1982 by Gilles Jayer, a descendant of the Jayer family of Vosne-Romanée. The domaine itself originated earlier as a mixed farm established by Robert Jayer and his wife Paulette in the 1950s, which shifted focus to viticulture in 1970. Gilles Jayer took over in 1998, expanding and refining the estate’s reputation. In 2017, Swiss entrepreneur André Hoffmann partnered with Gilles, creating Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer. Sadly, Gilles passed away in 2018, but the domaine continues under Hoffmann’s stewardship, blending Burgundian tradition with modern innovation, and producing wines from prestigious appellations such as Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and Echézeaux.
