Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
Straight out of the gate these two top Timorassos from Claudio are again very, very good. Finer and more linear than the Calvallina, with those lemon citrus oils that delight. Lovely, refreshing. Phenolics with a light hand adding textural intrigue along with the lees. Florals and perfume entrance with grace floating above the glass. Complex funk building as it opens. Yet another success from Claudio Mariotto!Gambero Rosso Tre Bichierre Winner 🍷🍷🍷
Giacosa’s Nebbiolo d’Alba uses fruit sourced solely from the Roero area, and the wine alongside both the Arneis and Nebbiolo Valmaggiore from here have a long and storied history with Bruno Giacosa. It is no coincidence that 1974 saw the first bottling of both Arneis and Nebbiolo d’Alba from Giacosa, as they were sourced from the same growers. The same is mostly true today, and where the Arneis is grown in the predominantly North-facing slopes of the vineyards in Roero, the Nebbiolo comes
Blend from Côteaux Sud d’Épernay, Champagne
Balanced, flowing & long. The Ultratradition has immediate generosity yet the tension needed to give it energy. Fun wine of complexity.Fine with a floral nose and red fruit / pink lady. The Meunier shines bright at 60%, with backbone and complexity from 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot. 40% of the blend is reserve wines, and it certainly shows in the mid-palate weight, line, and length. A nice bit of lees contact gives it a seamless flow. Lovely mousse and mouthfeel. Delicious fizz!
Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits
The super-fresh essence of various red berries laced with a touch of just turned earth precedes sleek and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that flash surprisingly good power on the youthfully austere and crunchy finale. This is an excellent example of the genre and worth your interest.Allen Meadows, Burghound 87-89 PointsAs always, the fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard (on the edge of Chambolle). It’s a v
Pinot Noir from Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise
Give it a couple of days open or a few years in bottle and you'll go to a happy place. An earthy nose of red and blue pinot fruit displays a top note of kirsch. There is both an attractive texture and verve to the acceptably dense flavors that deliver solid depth and persistence. This could be enjoyed young and given the attractive price point, this is one to look at for value.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 PointsJM 89
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
This is a delicious drink straight off the bat! 100% Chassagne fruit. This is a delicious drink straight off the bat. Approachable young and good to go over the next few years. A level of generosity and immediate appeal while showing the freshness and hinting at the complexity and precision that comes as you move through Alex's range.Fine-boned and precise, the 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flower and clear honey, followed by a medium-bodied, v
Riesling from Wachau, Niederösterreich
Skin contact shows in the best possible way. The phenolics have a lovely delicacy, perfumed, and wonderful precise flavour long fine sophisticated, a real delicacy and transparency phenolic handling is excellent. Spice and florals at play, so fresh and energetic with a silvery line of bitterness. Superb drink.A Ried (single vineyard wine) of the Smaragd classification, the highest classification for wines from the Wachau.
Nebbiolo from Treiso, Barbaresco
Elegant, fine, grape first and just delicious. Settling and opening in the glass. Sitting in a sweet spot. Beautifully refined texture. Long, even and slatey in a good way. Serious wine at the price point. Licks of spice, background orange citrus hum. Bright red fruits. Vibrant acidity, salty and a little bloody, with a gently tarry, alpine note. Excellent shape, flow and persistence. Harmony. Give this a few years, and you’ll go to a happy place.Great to see a Barbaresco Classico from the
Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo
From Ravera in Monforte. As the vines age they will make Barolo! From Ravera in Monforte, this is made from the youngest vines (that will eventually be made as Barolo) and is made the same way as her three Barolos and then aged in barriques for twelve months. As a baby Barolo, this has some serious pedigree with rich, plush fruit of red berries with crushed flowers. Hard to beat for the money and an ‘affordable’ cellaring option.
Pinot Noir from Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise
Give it a couple of days open or a few years in bottle and you'll go to a happy place. Reviews yet to come. Kelley's note below is of the 2020. Along with the Le Clos du Roy this represents one of the best value Burgundies on the market.As I wrote earlier this year, Faiveley's 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos des Myglands is a success, delivering aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums, espresso roast and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's a
Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits
Ripe aromas include those of red and dark raspberry that are trimmed in discreet earth nuances. The racy, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors conclude in an unusually robust, powerful and firm finale. This concentrated and excellent effort is definitely not a 'pop and pour' Bourgogne. ♥ Outstanding Top valueAllen Meadows, Burghound 87-89 PointsAs always, the fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard (on the
Nebbiolo from Neive, Barbaresco
They understand the rule book so have thrown it away only to be used when they know they need to. I guess that's what 150 years of making wine can give you! The 2016 of this was a cracker. True to the vintage & site with bold yet refined structure. The 2019 is again a cracker and true to vintage. This time all grace and elegance from what is proving a classic year.Beautifully weighted, the body of this slightly warmer vineyard with the clarity and sophistication of 2019 Barbaresco. Rich
