We will be taking your orders for the fabulous Domaine Dublère Burgundies to the LCBO on Thursday, February 26. The story of American Blair Pethel and the development of his extremely well-regarded winery is a fascinating one and you can read all about it in the latest edition of ‘Selections’. Suffice it to say that Robert Parker has also discovered these beautiful Burgundies and has glowing things to say about them and their maker.

Here are the Domaine Dublère 2006 Burgundies: one white, the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, and five reds – Pommard 1er Cru Les Poutures; Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes; Volnay 1er Cru Les Pitures; Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux, and; Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. We are also offering Blair Pethel’s 2006 Burgundy Cru Sampler – one bottle each of these 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines. Atypically, I have not tried these wines. The tasting notes come from Blair and noted wine journalists. However, based on my research and our wine club member’s recommendations, I believe these to be truly outstanding wines that respect and reflect their terroir. Each comes in a six-bottle case and contains 13.5% alcohol by volume. All of them require some time in the cellar.

Here are the collectible 2006 Burgundies from Domaine Dublère (for details, just click on Order, see ‘Selections' or visit our homepage - www.arthursellers.com):

Should six bottles be too much of a good thing, please remember our ‘Share a Case’ feature or drop me an e-mail. Please note that the above prices include a one dollar per bottle handling fee.

Know any other lovers of fine Burgundy? If so, please pass this bulletin on to them.

Many thanks and cheers,
