BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Giodo 2016
Upon meeting Carlo Ferrini for the first time some 15 years ago, I remember vividly when he described himself as a Sangiovesista, or an adherent of the school of Sangiovese. Many years later, and perhaps to cement that self-appointed moniker, the wine consultant has now settled in Montalcino, or the ultimate holy ground to Sangiovese. Ferrini has embarked on his Giodo estate (with beautiful vineyards and a newly inaugurated winery built precisely according to his technical specifications and wishes), creating his own temple to the mighty Tuscan grape. As a consultant, Ferrini has endured many stylistic transformations over the years, but the personality embraced in his 2016 Brunello di Montalcino celebrates varietal purity, balance and elegance, and I write those words free of hyperbole. Delicate forest berry fruits open to spice, forest floor and balsam herb. The wine presents a pretty wave of freshness, followed by firm tannins and enough fruity texture to smooth over the palate. This is a career-defining wine for this proud Sangiovesista. Production is 10,000 bottles.
CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY Les Fouchères Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs 2020
A small cuvée of three barrels sold mostly into French restaurants. NE facing. 40% whole bunch. Mid to deep purple and I can see the whole bunch verve in the nose, a very elegant Chambolle. Quite pronounced acidity, at least to taste, and a few more tannins, but the fruit is classy and interesting. Tasted: November 2021
