Domaine Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Rouge Derrière chez Edouard 2020

Pinot Noir | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds, year in, year out. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard where the soils have more clay. The vines here are more than 50 years old and gift very small, ripe and intensely flavoured bunches that produce a deep and layered wine with pure, dark cherry fruit and plenty of spice. Again, Lamy worked with roughly 50% whole bunches and did not sulphur the wines at all until bottling. Another barg

Domaine Faiveley Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru ‘Les Porets St. Georges’ 2020

Pinot Noir | Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy

The origins of the appellation’s name are not entirely clear. It could be an ancient word for “poiriers” (meaning pear tree). It is situated in the South of the village in the “Les Porêts” climat and its rustic style is similar to that of the “Les Saint-Georges”. In 1855 this area was stated by Dr […]

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Regnard’ 2020

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard (négoce) bursts with aromas of plums, peonies, warm spices and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's charming and vibrant, with powdery tannins and a long, sapid finish. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points

Giovanni Rosso Barolo ‘Serra’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Wow! Exceptional drinking. Beautifully weighted incredible mid-palate depth of flavour. Intensity and delicacy, now there's a trick. So fine long. Beautifully developed. More layers than a Mille Feuille. Stunning translucent, complex & beguilling. Owned by the Rosso family since 1946, it was replanted in three phases: 1984, 1996 and 2003. La Serra is located about 1km south of the village of Serralunga in the upper part of the Serralunga commune. Intense raspberry fruit with minera

Domaine Hubert Lignier Chambolle-Musigny Vielles Vignes 2017

Pinot Noir | Chambolle-Musigny, France

A more elegant if not fresher nose reflects notes of dark cherry, earth and a touch of humus, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. As one would expect given the old vines, the medium weight flavors possess both more volume and concentration before concluding in a firm, compact and lingering finish that also flashes a touch of rusticity.

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 2020

Nebbiolo | Italy, Gattinara

Historically these wines have had Amazing transparency, sophistication shining though. Alto Piemonte saw another productive vintage in 2020 with no significant hail or frost events. It was a warm year with well-timed rains and a harvest that started early, but not excessively so. Early indications are of a strong set of wines. Looking forward to trying this when it hits the warehouse. Grab a set Conterno's Sensory Glasses to swirl it around in too! The 2020 Gattinara is elegant and lif

Giovanni Rosso Barolo ‘Cerretta’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Owned by the Rosso family since 1920, the plot was partly replanted in 1984 and 2000. Situated about 2 miles (3km) to the north of Serralunga village, Cerretta lies close to the hamlet of Baudana and envelops that of Cerretta. The fruit for this Cru wine comes from the best parcel which is shaped like an amphitheatre facing south-east. This part of the vineyard provides a particularly good micro-climate for Nebbiolo since it is protected from stronger winds by the copse at the bottom of the s

Domaine Bernard Moreau Volnay 1er Cru ‘Les Santenots’ 2018

Pinot Noir | France, Burgundy

The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru has a well-defined but stubbornly backward bouquet; perhaps this cuvée is beginning to close down as Moreau’s cellar cools in the winter. The palate is more expressive, offering chunky black fruit and even more peppery than the La Cardeuse due to the 50% whole bunch, although personally I might have dialed that down a little, as I find the finish a bit too stemmy at the moment.

Roccolo Grassi Amarone della Valpolicella 2016

Red Blend | Veneto, Italy

Incredible depth and layering of flavour. While it has the richness and intensity of Amarone it doesn’t have any jammy or sweet notes of lesser Amarone. Beautifully dry with fine acid tension, married to a dusting of equally fine tannins and a lucious fruit feel with a good hit of glycerol at play. Great intrigue, brooding, draws you in. Violets, blood orange, dried citrus peel on a core of dark fruits & chocolate. As it opens in the glass it comes together & alcohol falls into place.

Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a spice box, bursting from the glass with a tour de force of cloves, cinnamon sticks, mint, lavender, dried strawberries and freshly sliced vanilla bean. For all of its extroverted character on the nose, this is a delicate beauty on the palate, cool-toned and finessed, with violet-tinged red berries and exotic spice motivated by brisk acidity. It conveys a pleasant staining of fine tannins that lingers long, yet the character is only lightly structured and tape

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

The Fuligni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its smooth integration of aromas and the carefully balanced intensity achieved here, which shows momentum but also remains very fine and nuanced. There are many sides to the bouquet with wild fruit, cassis, crushed stone, candied orange and fresh herbs or rosemary. A floral note also appears that suggests rose or iris root. The tannins are very well managed and silky. You hardly feel them, yet the wine offers firm structure throughout. This

Domaine Racine Santa Rita Hills ‘La Rinconada’ Pinot Noir 2019

Pinot Noir | Santa Rita Hills, America

The 2019 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard is a heady, dazzling wine. The 100% whole clusters lend striking aromatic top notes that soar out of the glass. Sweet red cherry, sage, rose petal, blood orange and lavender give this beguiling, layered Pinot tons of complexity. Savory, wild and constantly changing in the glass, the Rinconada has so much to offer. This brilliant, captivating Pinot from Racines has so much to offer. Antonio Galloni, Vinous 96 Points

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘La Platière’ 2017

Pinot Noir | Pommard, Burgundy

Rounder, plusher than the 2016. A lovely differentiation between vintage that still sees the qualities of clearly very fine house at play. None of the reduction Meadows noted on first release is present now. A little more time is needed for this to show it’s full colours at the moment. A little more savoury with the same fruit energy at play. As seems to be the case for the Domaine there is a harmony that you don’t always see in Burgundy. Superb drinking.

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Fremiers’ 2017

Pinot Noir | Pommard, Burgundy

A mildly toasty nose is comprised by notes of red and dark cherry, raspberry and newly turned earth. The rich and caressing medium weight flavors are at once succulent but powerful while delivering fine length on the decidedly firm but not really austere finale. This too offers very fine quality in a built-to-age package. Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Fremiers’ 2016

Pinot Noir | Pommard, Burgundy

Fascinating drinking here. More down the strawberry line. With excellent harmony. This is divine, violets and underlying savoury notes. Another excercise in textural difference. Arvelet so even fine and plush, derrière building in structure, Fremier super high quality tannins with a very slight mid-palate prominence and wonderful length of tannin. Drinking these wines side by side is a demonstration in the diversity of Pommard, a celebration of the differences between vineyards.
