Château Clerc Milon, Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2016
The Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is an elegant wine with plenty of black fruit aromas and flavours such as blackcurrant and cherry. As well as the ripe fruit flavours, there are also hints of leather and some pencil shavings. The finish is full, long and fine with some chocolate notes too. Another wonderful wine from the Rothschild stable, this is the second wine of Château Clerc Milon, and it benefits from the same care and attention as the main wine. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a decent dollop of Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc, it will become quite complex with ageing.
Rully Rouge Premier Cru 'Preaux', Domaine P. et M. Jacqueson 2022
We've been fans of Domaine P et. M Jacqueson, one of Rully's brightest stars. Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, succeeded by his son Paul in 1972 and joined by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently by his son Pierre, this domaine has long been recognised as one of the very best in the Côte Chalonnaise. Features as one of the Top 10 Côte Chalonnaise Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2022 Special Report. They have 13 hectares of wonderfully sited vines, many of which are very old, and prune hard to reduce yields to around 35 hl/ha. They only work the vineyards manually, with very minimal vine treatments. They are one of very few producers in the village to hand-pick everything. Extremely proficient winemaking and judicious use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) make for beautifully crafted, ripe, intense, very elegant wines. The 2022s are absolutely fantastic across the board, and extremely well-priced to boot! This is a domaine that should be on everyone's radar.
