Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru 'Séchet' 2014
There is a touch of dried apricot to the white peach, tidal pool and discreet citrus-infused nose. The lush but vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess good minerality and reasonably good detail, all wrapped in an impressively long and complex finish where a hint of lemon zest appears. This isn't especially refined but there is excellent underlying material and ultimately it should reward up to a decade of cellaring. ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound

Clos de Tart 1er Cru 'La Forge de Tart' 2019

Clos de Tart 1er Cru ‘La Forge de Tart’ 2019

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, France

“This comes from the section known as La Forge, plus a young vine planting from 2011, and “Ballonge 2” where the plant selection could be better – it will be top-grafted shortly. One third whole bunch in the Ballonge component makes about 15% in all. This is a glowing purple colour, without the black. A light reduction on the nose which later shows as toasty barrel.

With its eroded limestone walls covered in creepers and wild flowers, this is one of Gevrey's most picturesque vineyards. It is situated up high, on the border of Brochon next to Les Evocelles, in what is simply the most beautiful part of Gevrey. The vines here are now 80 years old and the soils are very stony with red clays, and the mother-rock very close to the surface. Mortet ploughs his four small plots (totaling 0.5-hectares) by horse.This is a site that typically delivers very small be

Il Marroneto 'Ignacio' Rosso di Montalcino 2022
The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio is exotic with a seductive blend of spiced blood orange, wild strawberries, rose petals and spice. Juicy and vividly fresh, it sweeps across the palate with ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, taking on a coating of chalky minerality toward the close. Sour citrus enlivens the experience as this finishes long and staining yet still remarkably fresh. It’s a gorgeous Rosso in the making. Eric Guido, Vinous 95 Points
