The catnip here is the tanginess of the fruit- sour patch candy? - and the mineral cut that rushes in like a guillotine on the long finish. — 8 months ago

Vintage 2020 | Excited that I was able to buy this cuvée 20000 because it is made from a small vineyard plot of 1,4 ha. This Merlot wine is performing above its modest origin. Fine smell with red fruit, plums and spices. Velvety taste after a few hours aeration. Reminds me of Saint Emilion Grand Crus. Lovely effort. Paired with Beef and mango Cantonese Style. | Also impressions of mocca and chocolate after more time in the glass. — 2 years ago

Vintage 2015 | 60 % Cabernet Franc 40 % Cot from vignes that are 30 to 50 years old. 18 months barrel aging, 8 months in bottle. 35 hl/ha. I decanted the wine 2 hours in advance. Medium transparency, cardinal red rim. Red currant and blackberries, full bodied with character, fine acidity. Drinks supple with a bitter touch. This is really good. Certainly for its modest origin. But you can’t say that - it seems - these days because dedicated winegrowers can be found everywhere. | Paired with ostrich stew. — 4 years ago

The 2017 Gloria was cropped at 48hl/ha and the Grand Vin comprises 65% of the total production. It has a generous bouquet with red berry fruit, warm bricks and light tobacco aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, a pretty and understated Gloria. A classic tobacco and bay leaf finish does not quite kick on like other recent vintages. Nevertheless, this is a delicious Saint-Julien that will give 20 years of drinking pleasure. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2020)

The first “ah ha” Selosse wine for me many years ago. The south facing La Côte Faron is particularly “Selossien” and therefore particularly singular, with its oxidative complexity, textural richness and generous sun kissed ripe fruit expression. Like all Selosse wines, it’s layered and particularly aromatic for Champagne with intense caramelized red berry fruit, licorice and wildflower honey. The palate shows tremendous volume and intensity with a powerful, full bodied and satiny texture and a long, vibrant, mineral finish. So good. — 8 months ago

2016. Mencía, Brancellao, Mouratón y Sousón que, además, lleva un pequeño aporte de Garnacha tintorera. Atlántico, afrutado, mineral, herbáceo y con notas balsámicas. He copiado las notas de cata porque me ha parecido un vino muy complejo que merece la pena probar. 16€ aprox. Excelente caldo. — 6 years ago

The 2008 Vieux Château Certan was cropped at 34hl/ha and contains more Cabernets compared to other vintages. Their contribution is tangible on the nose: pencil shavings and tertiary scents are pretty potent and lend it a Left Bank allure. The palate is fresh and vibrant with grainy tannins, graphite-driven, fresh and tensile with a persistent finish. Certainly, one of the best Pomerols in this challenging growing season, VCC at its most Médoc. Tasted at the VCC vertical in Etikhove, Belgium. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2204)

Classic chambolle. Elegance is the word! Complex and clean nose with red currant, cherry, roses and primordial earthiness. On the palate, seductive elegance with a silky texture and feather like mouthfeel and outstanding linearity. It slowly peels away the complexity with layers of red fruits, roses and the classic limestone undertones. Borniques is biodynamically farmed with winemaking synched with lunar cycles on a small parcel of 1.4 ha situated right above the famous ‘Les Amoureuses’ with vines planted almost on the rock. It explains the very linear structure. The tannins, acidity and alcohol were in brilliant harmony with a finish where the dance continues for well over 2 mins. I loved this and it reminded me why Chambolle-Musigny is one of my absolute favorite villages in Burgundy. — 5 years ago

This tiny 2 ha cru is truly the Vosne-Malconsorts of Barbaresco. Five spice, cumin, coriander, soy, black tea. At its apogee. Epic, feminine and engaging. — 6 years ago

2017 vintage. Clean and crystalline structure. Rounder than Riesling. Yellow apple, green pear, distinctive sweet pea note, chamomile, blanched almond. Almost as though Riesling meets Chenin Blanc. — 7 years ago
