Bouchard Finlayson, Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2020
Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced, rich, and dark, with inviting aromas of berries, plums, and subtle floral notes. The palate is expressive and refined, showing pure fruit flavours and a smooth, generous finish. It’s drinking well now but has the structure to age gracefully for several years. The wine comes from the estate’s clay-rich soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, an area perfectly suited to Pinot Noir. Unusually for South Africa, the vineyards are planted in tightly spaced rows following the traditional Burgundian model. This encourages natural competition between vines, resulting in smaller yields and fruit of greater intensity, depth, and colour - a hallmark of Galpin Peak’s distinctive character.
Côtes De Nuits-Villages, Aux Montagnes, Pierre Meurgey 2019
This appellation stretches across the Côte de Nuits, from Corgoloin to Fixin, with this particular vineyard located in Corgoloin at the top of the slope, near the marble quarry. Pierre is known for producing impressive Pinot Noir, and this wine is no exception. It offers aromas of red and black fruits, complemented by floral notes and a hint of vanilla. While designed for early drinking, it will benefit from a year or two of cellaring. An excellent value wine, ideal with feathered game, free-range poultry, or Guinea fowl.
