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.
La Clarté de Haut-Brion Blanc 2019
A second wine of Château Haut-Brion, Clarté de Haut Brion Blanc offers a glimpse into the estate's prestigious terroir, showcasing the purity and freshness of its white wines. This blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc is medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and lively acidity that lends brightness and elegance. Flavours of ripe citrus, apple, and melon unfold with a touch of white flowers, framed by a fine minerality that gives the wine precision and depth. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of citrus zest, stone fruit, and a gentle, creamy oak nuance. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, white meats, and creamy pastas, offering both richness and freshness.
