Burlotto Dolcetto d'Alba 2022
2 Bottle Limit

Burlotto Dolcetto d’Alba 2022

Dolcetto | Verduno, Italy

Everything in it's place and a place for everything, and, there is lot's of things! "The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba is one of the most distinctive wines in this range. Medium in body and translucent, the 2022 offers up an enticing mix of blue fruits, lavender, sage, mint and spice. A healthy dollop of stems (55%) adds layers of nuance without dominating the wine's balance." Antonio Galloni, Vinous 90 Points

Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2016

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Faiveley is definitely a Domaine on the Ascention - Clos de Bèze is one of their very best vineyards! I had Faiveley's 2015 Latricières Chambertin recently, delicious, perfumed elegant and refined. Along with the 2015, I devoured a brace of 2016's from across the appellations. They are really stepping up their game, the investments in the vineyard and winery are a testament to this. This is softly oaky with a wonderfully spicy array of black cherry, pungent earth and evident sauvage nuances
