Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Benoît Girardin 2022
"A full nose of russet apples and yellow plum, lifted by notes of cinnamon-dusted galia melon, brioche, and heather honey. The attack is rounded, intense but not aggressive, with grapefruit, and nutty freshness, and a mid-palate oiliness and fleshy orchard fruit sweetness to counter the brisk acidity. This is nicely controlled, sophisticated and long, playful with a saline bite and autolytic bitterness on the finish that ensures equilibrium." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru A fresh face for the Honest Grapes roster, and already causing a stir in France: Benoît Girardin may have launched his domaine only in 2020, but with prime holdings inherited from thirteen generations of family growers, he’s hit the ground running. The winemaking is classic Burgundian, yet the wines are anything but ordinary; the tasting was electric, all silk, poise and quiet sophistication. These are bottles to buy early in the estate’s story, while the prices are friendly and the allocations still generous.
Famille Carabello-Baum Ladoix 1er Cru les Grechons 2018
'Ladoix is the final vineyard in northern Côte de Beaune before entering the Côte de Nuits. Les Grechons is one of the highest plots positioned on the steep sides of the Hill of Corton, where you could once find ancient quarries. Steep sedimentary, fossil-rich soils produce an intense and mineral Chardonnay enjoyable today, but also ageable for years.'
