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in style to the Mainqué 2022 in its subtle charms, but there's more depth, creaminess and the pretty floral note has been replaced by a gentle herby character.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.

VOUGEOT 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots Domaine Christian Clerget 2019

Fine medium purple, perhaps a fraction more volatile here. Justine tells me that this is typical of the vineyard. Excellent intensity of energetic light raspberry fruit, then some more tannins behind. Intense fresh cherries too, but the wine is sturdier and less graceful than the Chambolles. Tasted: November 2020 3/5 stars
