Domaine Faiveley 'Clos De Bèze Ouvrées Rodin' Grand Cru 2022
A selection one of Faiveley's very best vineyards, Clos de Bèze! 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.Note: The 'Clos De Bèze Ouvrées Rodin' is a selection of the oldest vines in one of their 3 parcels. This wine consistently outscores the 's

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Champonnets' 2018
Les Champonnets, situated on the same line as the Grands Crus and very near to Ruchottes-Chambertin, is tucked up high near the entrance of the Lavaux combe (or valley). Mortet's parcel here used to make up almost half of his 1er Cru bottling above, and 2014 was the first year this parcel was vinified and bottled separately. It comes from a combination of very old vines (60-70 years old) and some younger, at around 30 years old. The soil is deep, yet with a strong limestone component that shows

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2019
From a higher-altitude site located in a former quarry, Lignier's 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots unwinds in the glass with aromas of earthy wild berries, cherries, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's lively and precise, with a more tightly wound, lower-pH profile than the Riotte.William Kelley, Parker's Wine Advocate 92-94 Points AM 91-94 ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 2019
💯 A Le Chiuse Classic!

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

Pure, intense, and, lively, this outstanding wine really speaks of the style of Le Chiuse, always on the refined side! Fascinating drinking. It draws you in. On the spectrum of Brunello it sits at the darker end on opening. The grape first tannin profile and fine acid wrap the core of fruit perfectly. Opening in the glass, intoxicating truffle, earthiness, there is power here, yet it has been tamed. The harmony and balance are impeccable.The level of complexity is astonishing. It reminds me
