Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'Hauts Jarrons' 2022
One of Leroux’s close friends owns these vines in the heart of the 1er Cru on the east-facing Beaune side of Savigny. The most elegant Savigny wines tend to come from this area, so it is perfect for powerful years. Like most Côte d’Or terrain, the soils are clay/limestone, but the clay is light and sandy. So, although there’s more flesh than in the village cuvée, there is also greater finesse. All the fruit was destemmed this year, and again, it is a wonderfully bright and juicy renditio

Cerbaiona Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Cerbaiona Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

A Brunello in all but name ... and, a bloody good one at that! The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is wonderfully perfumed, casting a blend of roses, violets and crushed blackberries. A stone dust hint adds lovely complexity. This is elegant in style and remarkably pure, showing depths of cherry-berry fruit guided by a wave of vibrant acidity. The 2022 leaves a salty, mineral flourish while tapering off long and gently tannic. Crisp in feel, with resonating blue and purple inner florals. This is alread

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

A Brunello in all but name ... and, a bloody good one at that! Cerbaiona’s 2023 Rosso di Montalcino opens with bright forest berry fruit, pressed violet and a pretty spiciness that defines the vintage. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, balancing floral lift with fresh red and dark berry tones and a subtle savory edge. Aged for one year in oak with a portion of new wood before finishing its maturation in cement for improved integration, the wine shows harmony and clarity while preservi

Cogno Barolo 'Ravera' 2017

Cogno Barolo ‘Ravera’ 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

"These vineyards represent the classic side of our production. They make elegant, smooth, and fresh wines with a fine aroma." Valter Fissore "The 2017 Barolo Ravera is a beautiful, precise wine. Bright acids and veins of tannin give the 2017 terrific energy that carries all the way through to the finish. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, chalk, white pepper and spice all open with a bit of coaxing. This is very nicely done."Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

The Le Chiuse 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is a lovely wine and one of my favorites from a vintage that is not always easy to read. It delivers its message clearly with dark fruit, blue flower, grilled herb and sweet cedar, showing a sense of fullness and aromatic completeness that is not always present in this year. Soft and silky on the palate, the wine offers gentle, powdery tannins supported by good underlying structure, achieving balance without force. Sourced as a special selection from eig
