This medium-bodied wine is harmonious, with forward, plump fruit and a silky texture that is balanced by round, gentle tannins and an elegant structure. 2022 is shaping up to be one of those rare, remarkable vintages in which weather patterns conspire to produce wines of outstanding quality.
Bruno Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées 2016 is a refined and elegant white Burgundy, showcasing the purity of Chardonnay from a premier cru vineyard. With vibrant citrus, white floral, and toasted almond notes, it offers a beautifully balanced palate with crisp acidity and a lingering mineral finish.
This is a lovely estate, one of the last remaining properties in the Mérignac gravel area, lying next door to Haut Brion and Pape-Clément. The name Caillou refers to pebbles, reflecting the fact that this was once riverbed, when the river Garonne overflowed millions of years ago.
The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru matures in around 50% new oak has a well-defined bouquet with scents of Earl Grey infusing the dark berry fruit (darker than Rossignol-Trapet’s Premier Crus for example.)
The climate here is perfect for ripening the fruit while maintaining plenty of zingy acidity, so it’s no wonder why rows of Sauvignon extend as far as the eye can see, interrupted only by the Loire Valley’s splendid châteaux and the meandering river itself.
Pierre Boillot is a master of terroir-driven red Burgundy. With old vines, a focus on the vineyards and minimal manipulation in the cellar, his wines express the purity and elegance we all seek out in Burgundian Pinot Noir.
Located on the first hillsides bordering the Gironde, facing the Grands Crus Classés of the Médoc, the vineyards of Château Lacaussade Saint Martin extend their roots on sixty hectares.
Marković Estates Cinsault Rosé Semi-Sweet 2022 is a delightful expression of sun-kissed vineyards, offering a perfect balance of bright fruitiness and gentle sweetness. Bursting with notes of ripe strawberries, red cherries, and a hint of floral charm, it’s a refreshing choice for casual sipping or pairing with light desserts.
With cellars located in the charming, hilltop town of Sancerre, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron have vineyards in mainly the eastern part of Sancerre on hard, flinty soils as well as smaller holding on softer limestone and clay soils.
The finest rendition of this cuvée to date, Santenay Les Vignes Denses derives from high-density plantings in lieu-dit Les Prarons. Unwinding in the glass with notions of crisp Anjou pear, lemon oil, vanilla pod and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with a deep core of fruit that's framed by chalky dry extract and racy acids. This is worth a special effort to seek out.
2022 is an outstanding Burgundy vintage: a warm and dry year that has produced wines with very high levels of ripeness and power, but which remain beautifully balanced and fresh-tasting too. The quality of the grapes was as good as many growers had ever seen.
A perfumed and very pretty nose is composed of various floral nuances that sit atop notes of green apples, spice and plenty of citrus influence. There is excellent volume, richness and mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver a bit more overall depth if a bit less finesse on the youthfully austere finale.
Revisited in bottle, the 2021 Santenay Rouge Gravité has fulfilled all the potential it displayed from barrel. Mingling aromas of blackberries and cassis with hints of menthol, orange oil and exotic spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, with a fleshy, strikingly concentrated core of fruit that's framed by supple tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish.
Planted in the grand cru vineyard Brand, the vines are north facing, ideal for Pinot Noir in this climate, as the wine is guaranteed to be fresh even in hot vintages. Compared to his Pinot Noir "S," also grown on granite, this cuvée is a little denser, very smooth, silky, and spicy, a wine obviously influenced by his love for Burgundy.
