CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY Beaux Bruns Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs 2020
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns comes from finely-textured deep clay soils and it has a far more complex bouquet than the Les Fouchères with heightened mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite peppery thanks to the 50% whole bunch with satisfying length on the finish. This should age well in bottle.
MESSORIO Le Macchiole 2001
This was a cooler year on Coastal Tuscany and the 2001 Messorio shows the signs of a slower and more prolonged evolution. The summer months were slightly cooler than average with more evident diurnal shifts towards the end of the growing season that helped to amplify the wine’s dark fruit aromas and its beautiful sense of grace and balanced power. A deep freeze during spring months naturally reduced yields in the vineyards. The wine’s slow and steady bottle evolution has established profound depth and silky persistence. The bouquet is highly distinctive thanks to the mineral notes and a touch of delicate herb (that reminded me of green clover) that lifts so delicately from the wine’s darkened core. The tannins are smooth and beautifully polished.
