Brunello di Montalcino, Le Gode 2019
"A true Grand Cru of the region, with its own unique soils of rock, mineral-rich marls, loam, quartz, shale and limestone" according to Vinous' Eric Guido, the treasures of Montosoli are the crème de la crème of Montalcino, often with Grand Cru prices to boot. One producer whose wines remain commendably affordable whilst still transmitting the lofty heights of this hallowed terroir directly onto the palate is superstar Le Gode. Single vineyard Brunello from Montosoli, with great scores and write ups, these are well-worth a look.
Premier Cru 'Clos La Renarde', Domaine Paul & Marie Jacqueson 2019
Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, this esteemed domaine has remained a family affair, with his son Paul taking the reins in 1972, followed by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently, his son Pierre. Recognised as one of the finest in the Côte Chalonnaise, the domaine spans 13 hectares of ideally situated, often very old vines. They rigorously prune to limit yields to around 35 hl/ha and work the vineyards entirely by hand, employing minimal treatments. As one of the few producers in the village to hand-pick all their grapes, their winemaking is exceptionally skilled, with careful use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) resulting in beautifully crafted wines that are ripe, intense, and remarkably elegant.
