CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2ème Cru Classé Saint Julien 2020
The 2020 Léoville Poyferré is quite backward on the nose, gradually unfurling with aeration to reveal introspective black fruit, licorice and touches of bay leaf. Returning after 20 minutes the aromatics develop life-affirming pixelation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation—very pure and silky in terms of texture. This is lavished in some high-quality new oak, but there is plenty of fruit underneath. It will take several years to fully cohere, but it should be worth waiting for. This is stunning. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
MEURSAULT 1er Cru Caillerets Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2023
Fresh and bright aromas are composed by notes of citrus confit, ripe apple and a plenitude of floral elements. The succulent and very rich medium-bodied flavors flash evident minerality on the clean and notably dry but not really austere finale. This is promising though a wine that’s going to require at least some patience to properly develop.
