CHACRA CHARDONNAY Bodega Chacra 2022
<i>Aged for 11 months 65% in French oak barrels (15% new), 35% in amphorae. Certified biodynamic.</i> Light straw with flecks of green. Very similar in style to the Mainqué 2022 in its subtle charms, but there's more depth, creaminess and the pretty floral note has been replaced by a gentle herby character. Spices and a touch of tahini – lees savour. Silky, textural, with masses of tension and energy. More fruit on the palate – pear and peach. Finishes with a herby, spicy sapidity weaving in and out of the fruit. Long and evolving. A serious – and seriously enjoyable – wine now, but with more to come.
VOLNAY 1er Cru Fremiets Domaine Comte Armand 2018
The 2018 Volnay Les Frémiets 1er Cru is very expressive on the nose with loamy notes filtering through the layers of black and red fruit. I find superb minerality here, the aromatics seem to "expand" with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very lithe and velvety smooth. Moderate depth towards the finish, this has a lovely salinity that maintains freshness all the way through. Excellent.
