Rarely would we ever tell the truth. We wanted to hoard them for ourselves, or stash them away to drink with our
sommelier friends in-the-know. Well, Parcelle Picks is our big reveal. This is our selection of the hard-to-find,
ready-to-drink, sometimes well known, maybe obscure, and always limited wines we love most.
Call it a hit list, a daily deal, or whatever you like. It’s the best stuff we have right now—and at the best prices.
Chosen by sommeliers. Ready to drink now.

Jean-Marc Pillot
Jean-Marc Pillot, Saint-Romain 'La Périère' 2016
$42
Here's what you should know about it:
- Jean-Marc Pillot isn’t the only Pillot in Burgundy. Look for his wines, as well as Thierry and Paul’s. Avoid the rest.
- Saint Romain is an under-the-radar village that borders Meursault. Drink more of it.
- 2016 is a sure bet when it comes to Burgundy. The wines are crisp, soft, and subtle.
Things we actually said...
"White Burgundy like this is about oxymorons: the wines are both rich and crisp, straight-up delicious and ‘complex’. Usually White Burgundy and ‘value’ is one of those oxymorons too. Today it’s not."
As sommeliers, we often get asked, “What’s the best wine on the list?”
