Along with the likes of Dureuil-Janthial and Jaeger-Defaix, Domaine de la Folie is showing just how much potential there is in the Côte Chalonaise. Their top white the 1er Cru 'Clos St Jacques' rests in a state of grace. A line of fine acid balances elegant, transparent fruit of great depth and length. Florals and citrus are weave into an array of complex aromas. Seamless. It's been made by a clever hand!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 2024The 2022 Rully Clos St. Jacques 1er Cru comes

The Girolamo Russo 2021 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is a very exciting wine with so much energy and verve. It opens to lean-bodied concentration with a brilliant ruby shine. The wine shows a long array of wild fruit and tiny berry aromas backed by crushed white pepper and crushed stone. San Lorenzo is one of the most impressive interpretations of Etna. I highly recommend you try and cellar this wine.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96+ Points12 ha between 700 and 800m altitude, some 100-y

A cooler and airier array is comprised by notes of citrus, quinine and essence of algae. The ultra-sleek and overtly mineral-driven flavors possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation before terminating in a chiseled, linear and moderately austere finale. This is a terrific example of Les Lys, indeed it’s textbook.91-94 points, Drink: 2028+ BurghoundThe 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys is one of the range's highlights this year, offering up aromas of almonds, white flowers, green apple, cri

Vanguardist 'MVG' Grenache MAGNUM 2021
🧠+❤️= 💯

Vanguardist ‘MVG’ Grenache MAGNUM 2021

Grenache | South Australia, Australia

Another superb wine taking Aussie Grenache to a whole new level! "Raspberry steeped in liqueur, plenty of perfume, lots of spice, almond paste. Medium-bodied, raspberry and subtle earthiness, firm pumice stone tannin, lots of crunch, hazelnut and crisp red berries, very bright and long. Some tea and tobacco savoury stuff. Such an excellent wine. Structural but ripe. The quality of tannin is outstanding. Serve it in a big Burgundy glass! Drink 2024-2034."Gary Walsh TWF 97 Points

I had to have a bottle before our stock ran out! Ripped the cork out of the last bottle in stock. Drank it over 3 days. My note simply read 'GET MORE'!

Transparency with excellent shape and just a little grip. Transcendent perfume, rising over restrained fruit of significantly more length over the Mari Mango. Layered complex and quite delicious.Paul Kaan, Win Decoded“This is the only pinot noir from 2023 from POCW. About a third is whole bunch across all the clones and sites on the estate vineyard.

The 2023 Rully Clos St. Jacques ler Cru comes from a 1.69-hectare monopole and was matured in 20% new oak. It has a very aromatic bouquet with tropical fruit, passion fruit and touches of white peach. There is wonderful definition and vigor here. The palate is well balanced with a silver thread of acidity and notes of lemon thyme and orange pith, very harmonious on the finish. This is an excellent Clos Saint-Jacques (not from Gevrey!).

From the vineyard Frontemare, in front of the sea. The first release of the sister wine to the Frontebosco.More tightly wound at the moment everything appears to be there in all the right places it just needs a little more time to build generosity which it most certainly will.Finer acid if that's even possible.

The Maugeri 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare Frontebosco (with 6,200 bottles created) comes from a vineyard adjacent to a forest with ancient stone terracing, as its name "Frontebosco" suggests. It's not just the power of suggestion, because you do pick up on hints of balsam herb or forest floor beyond white fruit and peach. The wine ages on lees for eight months (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). These techniques (or lack thereof) contribute to the wine's linear and

The most mineral-driven of these new releases from Maugeri is the 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Praino Frontemare. This is a young winery with enormous promise ahead of it. Grapes for this 3,300-bottle release come from a vineyard site on the east side of the volcano that faces the sea and has steep stone terraces on sandy, mineral-rich soils and yellowish clay. The wine spends eight months on the fine lees (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). The result offers salty flavor
