The 2019 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru comes from the 2.77-hectare monopole. This was actually quite closed on the nose compared with Faiveley's Gevrey Grand Crus, coming across earthy and rather sullen at first, and opening with earthy/woodland aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with ...

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc.The 2020 Lafleur takes all the elements of this site and dials them up. All of the natural richness and textural intensity of the year comes through in a decidedly flamboyant, opulent Lafleur. It's an immediate Lafleur, that much is obvious. I imagine the class...

This wine is consistently (and unsurprisingly) the finest in the cellar; 2023 is no exception. The wine has a deceptively light colour, but profuse aromas blossom from the glass, including sweet cherry and blackberry fruit, savoury, almost gamey notes, a bit of earth and some distinctive flinty mine...

Whiffs of wood, forest floor, the sauvage and crushed fennel add breadth to the aromas of wild red berries, plum and violet. The round and fleshy, even plush, medium-bodied flavours possess an equally lovely texture if perhaps not quite the pungent minerality on the powerful, tautly muscular and bea...

The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with vivid wild strawberries, macerated red cherries, rose petals and candied orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Quite a dense Clos Saint-Denis with hints of brown spice and an insistent grip on the finish. Quinte...

Some rain in early September saved the day. Nonetheless this does show some bake...

A fine lush purple. The bouquet is also in a ripe and opulent style, suggesting a velvet touch to follow. Though the fruit is fully ripe it holds together better in the Caillerets than the Frémiets. A fine long and succulent finish. Fully covered tannins. 92-94 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.A c...

100% Ansonica from the Pietrabona Vineyard on the Island of Giglio.Textured and structured, with initially reserved aromatics that, as with last year's vintage, really uncurl after 24 hours in fridge, or at least a good few hours in a carafe. Beautifully layered poached pear and peach pit, sage, dri...

Tasted at Chteau La Lagune, owner Caroline Frey's Bordeaux outpost. One of the legendary wines from Hermitage Hil, La Chapelle comes from pretty much the only spot on the Rhone's Left Bank where you find granite, along with the classic galet stones. The Jaboulet style is to blend their plots from ac...

Beautifully fragrant on the nose, delicately scented and inviting with subtle wild flower scents, red and black berries and sweet spices. Chalky and powdery tannins support super bright acidity which gives this such a sharp, thrilling and lively expression. Tannins are super fine but have a spiced e...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.The 2014 Latour has a beautifully defined bouquet with intertwined blackberry, briary, crushed stone and pencil box scents. This takes time to unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with tobacco and graphite-infused b...

Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc.The 2021 Massetino is a supremely elegant and gracious wine. Silky tannins caress a core of blackberry, espresso, mocha, liquorice, cloves and lavender. All the elements are so nicely balanced in this super-appealing, racy second wine from Masseto. 94 Antonio Galloni. V...

Second wine to Masseto. Blend: Cabernet Franc and Merlot.This is only the third vintage of Masseto’s second wine, which shares the same pedigree as its sibling, and the second time it is being released on the Place after the 2018 debuted last year. The first time Cabernet Franc is used in the blen...

Fattoria PetroloValdarno di Sopra, Tuscany.100% Merlot.Savoury and mouthwatering, benefitting from its 300m of altitude in the southern part of Tuscany by the Chianti hills. Precise and finely boned tannins, emphasis on dried herbs on the nose, this is an enticing mix of savoury raspberry leaf and r...

From a.76 ha parcel of 50 year old vinesThis is the sixth vintage of Charles making his premier cru Aloxe-Corton. It took him time to get a handle on the typicity of the village, while maintaining his overall, Gevrey-influenced drive for fruit, with harmony and roundness. He has again brilliantly su...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Franc, Merlot.This chteau is situated in a prime position on the Pomerol plateau between Pétrus, La Conseillante and Cheval Blanc. The wines here are always smooth and seductive and are made by the team from Chteau Lafite. The 2021 L'Évangile is a heady, sensual wine. Silk...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc.Plush and vibrant, the fruit here is lively and zippy, it has real energy on the palate while having a bitterness and a salinity to the tannins that are grippy and mouth-filling. The whole palate is full of minty freshness giving this life a...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Franc, Merlot.Situated alongside Cheval Blanc and L'Evangile, this property has a long track record of making outstanding Pomerol that is never forced or over-extracted. The 2021 La Conseillante was picked the latest in memory, from September 28 until October 8. The beautifu...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot.The wines here are more smooth, ripe and fleshy than the seriously structured wines of Barton and Lascases. The result is a delicious St Julien that can usually charm early in its life and can stand the test of time. Farr Vintn...
