Giovanni Canonica Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The hot tip for the Langhe Nebbiolo give it a year or two in bottle before you crack into it. It will be tightly wound when young and take that time to reveal itself. Looking forward to trying Canonica's.

At 400-450 metres' altitude, Meixeman is a 1.2 hectare plot of very old organically grown vines from a 'two-faced' vineyard: the larger part is relatively coolly oriented slate facing south-east; the other is warmer iron-rich granitic soil facing south-west. This 'heritage vineyard' was replanted after phylloxera in 1907 by Pedro's grandmother, using remnants of the site's own genetics which survived the pestilence. The grapes are foot-trodden, 40% whole bunch, 16 days maceration on skins and st

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

Year after year Bouland has turned stunning, beautiful wines! This is the only Cuvée of the 4 we offer from the 2023 vintage I haven't had a chance to taste. Word from those I trust is that it is looking sharp!One of the wineries I buy from each year without hesitation.

Earthy, savoury, delicate spice, sitting beautifully with darker fruits and more apparent stalk tannin. The acid, tannin, alcohol complex working beautifully. A ripping edition of this perennial favourite. As with the other Cuvées it's more immediate approachability than previous vintages. I typically find Bouland's wines need at least 18 months to 2 year to resolve and for their tension to relax following bottling. This will undoubtedly offer more with time in bottle.

Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux MAGNUM 2023
Ridiculous Yields!
Of the two Bellevue Cuvées, the Cailloux has better balance and energy with a touch less alcohol and a touch more acid. Excellent darker, earthier profile than the Chiroubles. Beautifully weighted, plump fruit with a spice layer and just a little playful stalk tannin grip keeping the palate lively and, with that fine line of acid, refreshing. Any excellent rendition and like the other 2023's more immediate approachability than previous vintages. I typically find Bouland's wines need at least 18

Domaine Thibert Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Cras’ 2018

Chardonnay | Pouilly-Fuisse, France

To be labelled 1er Cru from the 2020 Vintage! “Bursting with aromas of orange oil, confit citrus, freshly baked bread, peaches and buttery pastry, the 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Cras is medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acid and a taut, incisive profile. Concluding with a penetrating, intensely mineral finish, it's one of the most serious wines in the range. 2025 - 2035”William Kelley 93+ Points, Burghound 90-93 ♥ Sweet Spot Outstanding

Domaine Thibert Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vignes Blanches’ 2018

Chardonnay | Pouilly-Fuisse, Burgundy

To be labelled 1er Cru from the 2020 Vintage! “The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Vignes Blanches is terrific, delivering aromas of peach, orange oil and confit citrus complemented by hints of buttered popcorn and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with an ample core of fruit, racy acids and a long, electric finish, it transcends the vintage."William Kelley 93+ Points, Burghound 90-93 ♥ Sweet Spot Outstanding

The name translates to 'Return to Earth'. Trying this next to the other non-amphora wines, I wonder what impact fermenting in these clary vessels has. While it appears a little more developed. Kelley’s note is on the money. I feel like the chalky texture may be derived to some degree from the amphora. Without trying a control it’s impossible to say. Much pleasure to be had here with the very fresh marmalade notes, flowers and beyond. Transparent and delicate.Guillemot-Michel makes Chardo
