Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2010
2010! That's Right!

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2010

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Here’s a wine that it pays to know the inside story. Many of you know Sordo currently has 8 Cru wines with more in the pipeline. The two most recent additions have been their Monprivato and Villero. Although they have had worked with the vineyards and fruit for decades they haven’t bottled them individually. So where did the fruit end up? In 2010 it ended up right here in the Barolo Classico and it shows!The La Morra portion, the majority is Galina. With fruit from the likes of Scarrone,

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' HALF 2019
This is the largest and most famous Grand Cru; its fame based on its history as one of Chablis’ first vineyards. The appellation enjoys a southerly aspect with very white, dense and deep clay soil, resting on a limestone bed 80 cm below the ground, which brings to the wine those spicy notes so typical of this terroir.Note: from 4 separate parcels totaling 4.11 ha, 3 of which are all at the top of the slope. If Kimmeridgian could be distilled, it would likely smell exactly like the nos

Wonderful élévage making for a complete wine.0.20 ha of 80 year-old vines, the same age as Beugnons. Only replaced with massale selections.A pure and elegant nose features notes of citrus zest, mineral reduction, iodine and hints of algae. There is again

Pinot Noir | Nuits-Saint-Georges, France

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin 2023
A more elegant and slightly cooler nose freely reveals its aromas of shellfish, white flower and mineral reduction. The sleeker and more intense medium-bodied flavors flash evident minerality on the nicely punchy finish where a touch of lemon zest-tinged acidity helps keep the proper balance. This does though need better depth so a few years of keeping are recommended. Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 Points

Domaine Bessin-Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru 'Fourchaume La Pièce au Comte' 2022
Named after the aristocrat who was once the landlord of this parcel, La Pièce au Comte was the Tremblays’ first vineyard holding in Chablis. Covering a single hectare, it lies in the heart of Fourchaume, and until 2014, its oldest vines were 80 years old (having been planted in 1934). These vines have since been replanted with mass-selection cuttings, although the remainder still date from the 1950s. Romain Bessin explains that the vines here suffer from court-noué, which causes a decline

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru 'Vaulorent' 2020
This Climat is almost an extension of the slopes where the Grands Crus grow, with only a small path separating them. Sitting directly alongside Les Preuses, the proximity to its illustrious neighbours results in powerful, mineral wines.The restrained and layered nose makes clear that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its aromas of algae, iodine, oyster shell and spiced pear. The texture of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and intense with slightly better density to

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru 'Montée de Tonnerre' 2022
Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that gifts this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two continuous plots: one aged 50 years; and a second parcel recently replanted. This is regularly the most mineral, chalky, deep and powerful 1er Cru Chablis in the range. It is also one of the most limited.

This is also quite smoky in character with its nose of citrus confit, pear, apple and ocean breeze scents. The generously proportioned but quite punchy medium-bodied flavors possess a lovely texture while exuding evident minerality on the sappy, balanced, complex and solidly persistent finale.

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2022
A ripe ever-so-vaguely exotic nose is comprised by notes of cool green apple, oyster shell and lemon rind. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the intense and solidly powerful larger-bodied flavors that possess impeccable balance and fine depth on the harmonious, long and more complex finale. This is excellent and should age accordingly. Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 Points

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet 2023
A plenitude of citrus influences are present on the more obviously Chablis-like nose of algae, tidal pool and wet stone scents. There is a bit more volume and richness to the bigger-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the slightly warm finish that is supported by bitter lemon-tinged acidity. This isn't as refined as the Vaucoupin but offers slightly better depth. Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points
