Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Grèves', Domaine de Montille 2021
Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy's most quietly authoritative estates, and Les Grèves is one of the reasons why. This is a serious Beaune Premier Cru — not the showy, plump kind that flatters on first pour, but the kind that earns its keep. One third whole-cluster fermentation gives it a spine and a faint woodland savouriness that lifts the dark fruit without dominating it. There's a rugged quality here, something a little brooding, with tannins that currently lead the charge. The fruit keeps pace, just, and the finish suggests this wine has more to say than it's letting on right now. This is Pinot Noir at its most determined rather than its most generous, from a vintage that rewarded patience in the vineyard and will reward it in the cellar too.
Castello Romitorio, Filo Di Seta Brunello Di Montalcino 2013
When we first brought on Castello di Romitorio we were convinced this was an estate going places and it's a real pleasure to see Filippo and the team achieve the superstar status they deserve. The Filo di Seta is Romitorio's single vineyard Brunello is named after a creek that flows through the forest nearby, and is one of the finest wines of Montalcino, regularly scoring into the top five wines of the vintage from Vinous' Eric Guido and Monica Larner. From 350m elevation, the Filo di Seta is an extremely finessed Sangiovese with incredible energy.
