CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET 1er Cru Vide Bourse Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2022
(from a parcel that is immediately adjacent to Bâtard). Like the Vergers, the wood treatment is prominent but not invasive as it permits the ripe and again vaguely exotic aromas of white and yellow peach, passion fruit and citrus confit to be appreciated. The wood also appears on the caressing and plush medium weight plus flavors that are also blessed with an abundance of sappy dry extract that coats the palate on the powerful and serious but well-balanced and refreshing finale. While this could be approached young, I would advise holding it for at least a few years first so that the wood treatment can more completely integrate.
CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Réservé Domaine de la Vieille Julienne 2021
The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve has come together superbly since I tasted the unfinished version last year. Deep and muscular, the 2021 showcases boatloads of ripe red fruits amid pencil shavings, thyme and licorice. Leafy gradations add another layer. Closing with excellent grip and length, the magnificent quality of the 2021 Réserve simply cannot be ignored. Kudos to Jean-Paul Daumen and his son Antoine.
