Brunello Di Montalcino, Patrizia Cencioni 2017
This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life force of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion. Their 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows the vintage's signature richness whilst maintaining the elegant tension that makes Sangiovese sing on these Tuscan hills. The wine opens with crushed stone minerality and dusty florals before revealing its core of sour cherries and saline-tinged red fruit. There's a pliant, plush texture that speaks to careful winemaking, structured enough for the cellar but with an energy that keeps you coming back to the glass.
Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2021
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard spans an impressive range of vineyards and has significantly elevated its reputation over the past decade. The wines are distinguished by their clear purity, vibrant minerality, and a harmonious balance of richness and fruit intensity. Medium-bodied and finely structured, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge has a vibrant core of red fruit, silky tannins, and a refined mineral streak. A balanced acidity enhances its freshness and liveliness. Enjoy it with roasted duck, guinea fowl, pan-seared salmon or grilled tuna.
