Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2018
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard covers a huge range of villages and have over the past decade raised their stock exponentially. The wines have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out and with Celine Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb.
La Giaretta, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2021
Made from hand-harvested Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes grown in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone, La Giaretta's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is produced using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are dried for several months to concentrate their flavours. Great care is taken with the vines - the vineyards look a little bit more like gardens. The selection of grapes for the Amarone come from vines planted 30-40 years ago using the region’s old Pergola Veronese system. Owners Francesco and Francesca use only small oak barrels to age the wines "It's pure Black Forest Gateaux in the mouth with edges of cedar and a wonderful whack of creamy oak on the finish. Fine tannins, great structure and a lush quality to it. Once you've tried this wine you will be hooked!" Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Its elegance and strong character make this wine a fantastic gift.
