Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Reversées', Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2023
"White flowers and a hint of limestone introduce this wine. The palate is fresh and lively, with good acidity and a balanced structure from 25% new oak." Our note This is our second vintage representing the wonderful Clos de la Chapelle, an exciting new domaine born in Volnay. Certified organic and practicing biodynamics, the domaine specialises in small-batch, terroir-expressive wines from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. "The marketplace has not yet quite fully woken up to Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, but judging by some of their 2017s (and since) it really should." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy The 2023 vintage, harvested under perfect conditions, highlights their signature style of freshness, salinity, and fine tannins. These wines are approachable in their youth but have the structure to develop beautifully with age.
The Hilt, Estate Chardonnay 2018
The Hilt was founded in 2008 and is now owned by Stan Kroenke whose properties include Screaming Eagle and Bonneau du Martray. Run by winemaker Matt Dees, who actually turned down the top job at Screaming Eagle, it is a project he has overseen for many years and the wines just keep getting better and better. Situated in the Santa Rita Hills, the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean keeps acidity in check and is the perfect climate for growing both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which ripen to near perfect. When in the hands of Dees, the resulting wine is truly magnificent.
