Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 2023

Jean-Paul et Benôit Droin Chablis 2023

Chardonnay | Chablis, Burgundy

Aromas of apples, peach, toasted nuts and iodine introduce the 2023 Chablis Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave wine that's round and seamless, concluding with a sapid finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 90 PointsMineral reduction and citrus dominate the more complex and slightly freshy nose at present. There is equally good freshness and energy to the delicious, rich and sappy medium weight flavors that possess better depth and persistence on the balanced finale.

Domaine Confuron-Contetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' 2019
"An exuberantly spicy and manifestly ripe nose of poached plum, exotic tea and floral nuances gives way to suave, round, dense and seductively textured large-scaled flavors that are dusty, mouth coating and powerful though the finish is again noticeably warm. Drink: 2034+"Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

"Trapet's 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage's finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit."William Kell
