CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET 1er Cru Fairendes Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2022
Prominent petrol scents suffuse the more floral aromas of white peach along with ever-so-mildly more evident oak treatment. The equally rich, full-bodied and powerful larger-bodied flavors possess slightly more refinement, as well as a subtle bead of minerality on the bitter zest-inflected finish. This is excellent and a wine that should easily repay up to a decade of keeping.
CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Cristia 2022
Crafted from old vines of Grenache Noir planted on sandy soils (Cristia's south and north lieux-dits), the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes from Domaine de Cristia exhales a more solar bouquet in comparison with the other cuvées, opening in the glass with notes of dark olive, tapenade, dry thyme, chocolate and baked dark berries. Sweet and medium to full-bodied with a broad attack, it's layered and textured with an enrobing structure and polished tannins. The sweetest of the lineup, it finishes long and perfumed with delicate notes of lavender and licorice. Matured for 18 months in large barrels (33%), new barrels (34%) and the rest in used barrels, this is a great success at this address.
