Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Lacoste-Borie 2016
The second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and in 2016 it shows just how good a 'second' can be. The palate is supple and generous, brimming with ripe cassis, dark cherry, and hints of tobacco, all framed by polished tannins and a fine freshness that carries through to the finish. Grand-Puy-Lacoste is one of Pauillac’s great classed growths, a Fifth Growth that routinely overdelivers. The estate has been in the Borie family since the 1970s, who have invested heavily in both vineyard and cellar to produce wines of precision, balance, and classic Médoc character. Lacoste-Borie is crafted with the same care as the grand vin, offering an earlier-drinking expression of this hallowed terroir.
Savigny-lès-Beaune 'Les Bas Liards', Maison Pierre Meurgey 2023
"A charming red with bright cherry aromas and juicy, fresh fruit on the palate. Balanced tannins and minimal oak impact make this an early-drinking delight." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
