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.
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.
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.
The Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru is a formidable classic. It lives up to its name and is an example of the best that Burgundy has to offer. Its refined elegance lies on a foundation of a fleshy, concentrated palate and, when still young, assertive tannins that mellow with age.
Pale light gold in color with slight greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid. The nose is full of sunshine, gaiety, beauty and maturity. A rich, splendid bouquet of a multitude of flowers. A basket of fruit on a fresh summers morning.
The Chateau Riganes White is made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Light gold in color with green reflections. On the nose, bursting aromas of yellow grapefruit, earthy minerals, lemon peel, hints of freshly cut grass and white spring flowers.
This is extremely ripe and indeed reminds me more of cabernet than pinot with good detail and obvious minerality to the sweet, powerful and sappy flavors that offer real size and weight.
At the very top of the Côte de Beaune between the villages of Meursault and Puligny, a few vineyard rows abut the forest known as the Bois de Blagny. Conditions are slightly cooler due to the elevation and the proximity to these woods, and the soil is chock-full of blocks of limestone.
Volnay tends to take on more ethereal qualities with a certain nervosity. That’s certainly apparent in this terroir, which exhibits gorgeous floral aromas and red stone fruits with vibrancy and length.
Fourth-generation vigneron Bruno Colin is privileged to work some of the most prestigious sites in his home village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The house style could be described as a classical expression of these great climats, offering loads of Burgundian terroir with lovely texture, class, and precision.
