Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton Grand Cru 'Clos du Roi' 2022

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton Grand Cru ‘Clos du Roi’ 2022

A wonderfully spicy broad-ranging nose features pure notes of wild red currant, leather, earth and a hint of wood influence. The delicious, vibrant and muscular medium weight plus flavors possess a beguiling mid-palate texture while exuding a subtle bead of minerality on the balanced, lingering and youthfully austere finale. This is excellent though a wine destined for long-term keeping. (from a .50 ha holding; 20% whole clusters) 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points

Vietti Barolo 'Rocche di Castiglione' 2017

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Rocche di Castiglione’ 2017

While Vietti's Villero is their Top Wine. This is my favorite! I had a 1997 not long ago that was breathtaking!The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione shows all the signatures of this site, all turned up to the maximum. I am not sure I have ever tasted a Vietti Castiglione with this much heft. Super-ripe dark red fruit, rose petal, mocha, dried herbs and menthol all build in an ample, resonant Barolo. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2017 for the next handful of years, perhaps longer.

Vietti Barolo 'Lazzarito' 2018

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Lazzarito’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Lazzarito is tense, vibrant and very much closed in on itself. Searing tannins and Serralunga structure dominate today. Crushed rocks, gravel, red fruit, rose petal, lavender and sage all run though this sculpted, vibrant Serralunga Barolo. What stands out most about the Lazzarito today is that is stylistically more similar to the other Barolos than it was a few years ago. I expect great things in time here. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Vietti Barolo 'Ravera' 2018

Nebbiolo from Novello, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Ravera’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Ravera is a wine of real depth and vertical structure. As always, the Ravera is a taut, nervy Barolo built on energy more than volume. Readers will have to be patient, as the Ravera is likely to require a number of years to be at its most expressive. Even in the early going, it is vibrant and full of life. Rose petal, chalk, blood orange and white pepper lend striking exotic top notes that are quite suggestive of what the future is going to bring. What a gorgeous Barolo this is..

While Vietti's Villero is their Top Wine. This is my favorite! I had a 1997 not long ago that was breathtaking!The 2018 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is suave, silky and caressing right out of the gate. Sumptuous and racy, with silky tannins, the Rocche possesses superb depth and plenty of resonance that builds over time. The 2018 is an especially potent Rocche that is going to need a number of years to unwind. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Vietti Barolo 'Brunate' 2018

Nebbiolo from La Morra, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Brunate’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Brunate is a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the Brunate is quite primary and backward, but all the ingredients are there. Sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and spice build with a bit of coaxing. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Châtelots’ 2022

This is also aromatically really fresh with its blend of dark raspberry, violet and a crushed fennel aromas. The mouthfeel of the slightly richer flavors is also caressing but here there is a subtle minerality on the lacy, balanced and youthfully austere finale that delivers slightly better persistence. Textbook Chatelots. ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 90-93 PointsThe 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Chatelots ler Cru is quite closed on the nose: light red fruit, a little sous-bois

Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo MAGNUM 2017

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo MAGNUM 2017

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2017 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! I rarely buy wine site unseen. I did so with the 2016 M8. I couldn’t resist! The story and experience behind Allan Manley’s launch of his own venture has seen him work with a veritable who’s who of Barolo ending with Maria Theresa Mascarello where he still works. As you might expect he’s a proponent of blended Barolo vs

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva 10 anni' 2015

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino ‘Riserva 10 anni’ 2015

The 2015 Riserva Diecianni is a special Brunello, savoury, earthy, with a sweet core of fruit, a little spice and much more beyond. The quality of the tannins, their depth and complexity alone impress. The super-fine-resolved acids offer exceptional energy. At 11 years old this is a Brunello in a beautiful place with much more to come. Flowing with long, even tannins.It represents a significant step up from the already impressive Brunello. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded June 2026A wond

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' 2016

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Molsino’ 2016

Richness and generosity, yet freshness’s. Dark, long, fine, generous, composed and long. Still waiting to express its true self. Perhaps with a bottle over a night rather than a taste it would. It clearly has a long life ahead of it. Such incredible length. Starting to opening up in the glass with a little coaxing it is built so impressively. A special wine. The acid and tannin profile will see it hold for many years. Another expression of Nebbiolo that differs from those of Valtellina and Bar

Domaine Nicole Lamarche ‘Echezeaux’ Grand Cru 2019

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! I've had the pleasure of drinking La Grande Rue a couple of times. It's the benchmark wine of the estate that sits across a tiny laneway from LaTâche. La Grande Rue is sensual, feminine, with an incredible perfume, and silky texture. A special wine indeed.Vosne-Romanée tensd to be a bit of mixed bag of the haves and have nots. Lamarche is a have!Nicole, François' daughter has been in charge of t
