Castello Romitorio, Romitòro, (Magnum) 2019
Romitòro is an elegant blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot that expresses the benefits of a moderate climate such as Tuscany’s, where vines grow naturally without needing irrigation and yield an excellent quantity and quality of fruit. The resulting wine is a bold Super Tuscan that attests to the fact that French varietals can thrive in Tuscany and give exceptional quality, whilst retaining an undeniably Tuscan character. This wine is aged for approximately 12 months in oak and is unfiltered.
Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2017
This is a great wine from the seductive 2017 vintage offering plenty of chewy raspberry and cherry fruit with good spice notes above, The palate is round and ripe with good firm and ripe tannins. This juicy offering will be great for young drinking but will also cellar well. The wines from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out and with Céline Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb!
