What's different about Vin Chicago? First of all, we're not about safe choices. We don’t care about hot sellers. We look for the special wines, the ones scoring highest in the wine press and the ones we discover on our own, that we can get for a great price. We taste—and rate for ourselves— virtually everything we put on our shelves. Why? Because we want you to love the wine you buy from us. And come back for more.
Albert Bichot Domaine du Pavillon - Grand Cru Monopole - Corton Clos des Marechaudes 2015

Burghound
(4/15/2018) "An exceptionally ripe but not roasted or jammy nose is similar if more complex. The velvety, round and equally seductively textured big-bodied flavors possess a bit more overall size, weight and mid-palate concentration while delivering even better length on the powerful and built-to-age finish that, like the nose, is much more complex. Patience required however. Drink: 2030+."

Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Champagne NV
92+
Wine Advocate
(8/30/2019) "Based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by fully 40% old reserve wines, the new release of Charles Heidsieck's NV Brut Reserve was disgorged earlier this year. It's showing very well, opening up in the glass with notes of green apple, dried white flowers, pear, candied peel and walnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a textural attack and a racier, tighter-knit core than either the 2012- or 2010-base renditions, displaying good concentration and underlying richness. This is a bottling that continues to punch above its weight and which both merits and rewards a few years in the cellar before opening. Drink Date: 2020 - 2035."

Ulysse Collin "Les Pierrieres" Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (March 2018) NV
93+
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(11/2018) "The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Pierrieres is fabulous. As is often the case, the Pierrieres presents an explosive and crystalline expression of Chardonnay. Lemon, peel, crushed rocks, slate and dried pear are finely sketched. A wine of tension and energy, the Pierrieres needs time in bottle to be at its very best. In this release, Les Pierrieres is 50% 2014 and 50% 2013, bottled with 1.7 grams per liter of dosage. Disgorged: March, 2018."

(6/16/2019) "Complex aromas of tar, wet earth, dark berry and flowers follow through to a full body, medium sweet and amazing compacted concentration. Vertical and so deep. It goes on for minutes. Truly excellent. Better after 2027."

Albert Bichot Domaine du Pavillon "Les Rugiens" 1er Cru Pommard 2015

Vinous, Neal Martin
(11/2018) "The 2015 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru did not impress out of barrel, but it sure makes amends in bottle. It has a very fruit-forward, almost Volnay-like bouquet of plush red cherry and strawberry fruit, quite glossy and missing some Pommard character. The palate is well balanced with a sorbet-fresh entry, and quite minerally, with a lovely grainy texture. There is disarming purity toward the long finish, which is where the Pommard character almost belatedly shows through. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2036."

(1/2019) "The 2016 Pape Clement is fabulous. Racy and sumptuous in the glass, the 2016 captures the style that now characterizes Bernard Magrez's wines from his estate in Pessac. Specifically, the 2016 is wonderfully deep in the glass, and yet retains terrific freshness as well. A rush of dark cherry, plum, smoke, scorched earth, grilled herb, leather and menthol builds as the 2016 shows off its compelling, inviting personality. I would prefer to give the 2016 at least a few years in bottle to allow its full breadth of aromatics to develop. Even so, there is so much to like. Pliant, supple and super-expressive, Pape Clement is gorgeous in 2016. Tasted two times. Drink 2022 - 2036."

Leonetti Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
98
Jeb Dunnuck
(4/11/2019) "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, and 2% Merlot that spent 22 months in 75% new French oak. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a sensational, full-bodied, layered wine that's overflowing with notions of creme de cassis, crushed rocks, smoked tobacco, and hints of camphor. Seamless, elegant, and layered, yet also powerful, it rates with the top wines of the vintage. Readers should snatch this beauty up. Maturity: 2021 - 2041."

(10/2019) "This is well-packed, offering the vivid plum, boysenberry, cassis and acaí berry fruit profile of the vintage, along with a dark edge of tar, baker's chocolate and salted licorice that courses underneath. The long finish lets the fruit play out, keeping singed alder and chai spice hints in the background. Smolderingly seductive."

Antinori "Guado al Tasso" Bolgheri Superiore 2016
98
Wine Advocate
(5/16/2019) "This stunning vintage of this landmark wine marks a slight adjustment to the blend. The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso is no longer made with Petit Verdot. The blend is now 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and now 20% Cabernet Franc. This small change does not go unnoticed, as this wine is absolutely seamless now-like the finest Asian silk fabric. That profound textural softness and suppleness changes the way the wine smells and tastes, with hints of momentary sweetness that are more tactile than anything else. Generally speaking, the 2016 vintage offers more elegance (slightly less concentration) and a hair more freshness compared to the 2015 edition. When I tasted this wine, the bouquet was still timid, but it will no doubt become more expressive and open as this beautiful wine continues forward along its aging trajectory. Some 120,000 bottles were made, a remarkable feat considering the extreme quality on offer. Drink Date 2020 - 2045."
