Bodega DiamAndes de Uco Viognier 2021
Another stunner from DiamAndes, this Viognier has a wonderfully expressive nose of stone fruits and flowers, with a juicy, waxy palate that puts one in the mind of the Rhone. A superb example of Argentine Viognier! In the heart of Clos de los Siete, Bodega DiamAndes stands as a winemaking haven, producing wines that resonate with intensity and finesse from their beautiful vineyards high up in Argentina's Uco Valley. Set up in 2005 by the esteemed Bonnie Family (the famous name behind Malartic Lagraviere & Gazin Rocquencourt), this is another very successful project from an established Bordeaux dynasty. A truly exceptional example of what Viognier can achieve in Argentina. Lovely floral notes combine with soft peaches and a hint of tropical fruits, still fresh but with a well rounded body and luxuriously long finish. Will Hill, Wine Guru
Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes, Meurgey-Croses 2023
"This single-vineyard wine from old vines (65-95 years) offers salinity and minerality, with fresh lime and pithy citrus on the palate. Fermented in large barrels with no new oak, it’s a precise, well-balanced wine with a sapid finish." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
