The reds of Chassagne a little secret that's slowly making its way out of the bag. I had one of Alex's red the 1978 monopole Morgeot 'La Cardeuse' in September 2020. In a word stunning. Ask Alex and he'll tell you the soil profile is very similar to Chambolle in that neck of the woods.Offering up notes of peonies, rose petals, red berries and spices, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is medium-bodied, satiny and perfumed, with lively acids and a saline finish.William Kelley,

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 2022

Pinot Noir | Savigny-lès-Beaune, Burgundy

The lion’s share of this release comes from the outstanding Aux Fourneaux lieu-dit in the north of the village. Leroux works with lots of Pinot Fin here (a high-quality, low-yielding Pinot Noir cultivar), giving low yields and great concentration. The fruit from these vines fermented with 15% bunches. A fully destemmed parcel of Les Conardises was also included this year. The wine, half of which was raised without sulphur, matured exclusively in large cask—half in foudre and half in 600-litr

This wine is from the ripest Smaragd classification.Thought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name “Im Weingebirge”, Wine Mountains, dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving it a creamy texture.The 2013 Baumpresse version of this was insane!A

Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! An extremely ripe yet again, still fresh nose offers up its aromas of mocha, poached plum and black cherry jam. The rich, round and quite supple medium-bodied flavors immediately firm up on the youthfully austere, palate coating and lightly mineral infused finale. This firmly structured effort is going to need at least some patience as it's presently quite tightly wound. Drink: 2036+ ♥ OutstandingBurghoundAlso

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Museum release. Direct from the cellars landed end 2024.I've had the pleasure of devouring most of the 2013 Crus from Sordo, but never the Barolo Classico until now. A great summary of this vintage. This wine typically has a significant La Mora component and it shows in the pure, plush red fruits of great transparency and lick of chocolate. A wonderful perfume lifts from the glass on opening. Just shifting into a nice place, building secondary development. Layers of earthy, truffled, slatey

The Contrada ChiappaManiche has 90-year-old vines and is located midway up the volcanic cone at 550 meters in elevation. The Passopisciaro 2022 Contrada C shows a very specific character with a pronounced mineral note that cedes to blue and black fruits and fresh blooming violet. These two sides of the wine play against each other to add pretty contrasts and intensity. This elegant wine spends 18 months in oak. Some 4,000 bottles were released.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 94 Points
