Blason de l’Évangile 2020
Made from the same vats as the Grand Vin of Lafite Rothschild’s Château l’Évangile, and aged for 15 months in two-year-old barrels, which gives great fruit intensity. It’s mostly Merlot with some Cabernet Franc adding complexity.
Pommard Premier Cru, Les Chaponnières, Domaine Launay-Horiot 2021
Domaine Launay-Horiot is consistent and over the past few vintages has culminated in something once again truly remarkable in 2021. This wine walks the fine line between classic Pommard structure and graceful delicacy. With a light-to-medium frame, it opens on brambly red fruit and earthy loam, wrapped in a peppery spice that lingers. The palate is honest and straightforward; sour cherry leads the way, followed by cereal and subtle earth notes, finishing with a gourmand flourish. Likened to Armand Rousseau by Neal Martin, Xavier Horiot fought an 11 year court battle with family members to keep the estate and reignite the work left by his beloved grandfather. In only his 7th vintage, this quietly spoken former fighter pilot only expresses his gratefulness for being able to farm his grandfather’s land.
