Domaine A et P de Villaine Rully Rouge 1er Cru 'Les Champs Cloux' 2022

Pinot Noir from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise

Domaine A et P de Villaine Rully Rouge 1er Cru ‘Les Champs Cloux’ 2022

Bright and vibrant ruby colour. On the nose there is a seductive and aromatic bouquet shared between aromas of red fruits such as black cherry, raspberry and a finish of floral and spicy notes.The palate distinguishes itself with freshness nourished by a fully integrated acidity which reveals fruity and once again spicy flavours of this wine. The palate is silky and balanced thanks to ripe and fine tannins. They soften the palate and lengthen its sensation of rich and elegant texture. They n

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Villero' 2013
The Super Stars!

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Villero’ 2013

I haven't tried the 2013. If the 2015 is anything to go by this will be stunning! The most ‘Burgundian’ of these 8 cru, shimmering and transparent, signalling the elegance and finesse to unfold. A beautiful and intriguing wine with those Castiglione complexities of cranberry, strawberry, cherry-skin, dried flowers and herbs. Tannins are beautifully bound with the acid line, the finish becomes seamless and tingling. Worthy of the Villero name. Vietti's is now $900 a bottle! Dense garnet colo

Barale Barolo 'Cannubi' 2015

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Barale Barolo ‘Cannubi’ 2015

Cannubi to the core! Savoury, dark, brooding, rich aroma with a hint of chocolate. You expect power from the nose. It comes through on the palate. Bold even tannins sit under a solid core of fruit that despite it’s generosity and richness has an elegance to itt. Something savoury layered in. Quite complete. I expect as the tannins resolve a little here and secondary development build this will be quite something. It has a certain harmony about it that rings true of great wines.

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'La Platière' 2019

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘La Platière’ 2019

Deep and concentrated, the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière evokes aromas of rose petals, red berries, Indian spices, raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and vibrant, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's the most elegant young Platière that I've tasted from the domaine.William Kelley, 91-93 Points

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Les Evocelles’ 2019

“Royal purple, the nose has some real concentration in a relatively ripe configuration. Certainly this Evocelles starts out as plump and rich, then with firmer tannins. Dark fruit. Not quite together yet but packs a punch and is persistent.” Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points

Giacomo Conterno Barbera d'Alba 'Francia' 2020

Barbera from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giacomo Conterno Barbera d’Alba ‘Francia’ 2020

The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia is fabulous. Rich and expansive, with tremendous presence, the 2020 is positively stellar. Super-ripe dark cherry, lavender, spice and pomegranate all gain volume and intensity with time in the glass. The 2020 is one of the finest recent editions of the Francia Barbera I can remember tasting. Today, it's explosive, heady personality is impossible to resist.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 95 Points

Giacomo Conterno Barbera d’Alba ‘Francia’ 2018

The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia is an explosion of floral, savory and mineral notes. Like the Cerretta, the Francia Barbera is quite delicate in this vintage. It has a bit darker fruit, stronger savory undertones and a touch more depth. It is a beguiling, beautifully layered wine that unfolds graciously over time.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Cents Vignes' 2022

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Cents Vignes’ 2022

Darker and a little more brooding than the Savigny 1er. Opening beautifully in the glass with impressive mid-palate weight. Flowing and fanning out. Again, impeccably resolved and layered wine. Deftly handled stalk use yielding lovely spices and a hint of musk. Delicious drinking.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedThe 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes bursts with aromas of plummy fruit, sweet spices and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and charming palate that's meltin

“One of the more muscular, powerful wines in the range this year is the 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated red redolent of dark berries, cherries and plums.”William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91-93 Points“Unlike other cuvées, the 2022 Beaune Tuvilains 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed, although it gives the impression that a few stems are 'in the mix.' The palate is very well-balanced, with a patina of new oak that needs to be subs

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.
