Château Monbousquet 2020
Monbousquet’s terroir is truly exceptional, with mostly warm, deep gravel to the south and sandy-clay soils to the north. As at Cheval Blanc and Figeac its soils are largely gravel, and thus warm, so relatively late-ripening Cabernets can ripen perfectly. This natural feature accounts for the particularly large proportion of these grapes in the vineyard’s composition.
Monthélie Premier Cru, Clos des Champs Fulliot, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2019
We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here... "A walled clos that has avoided soil erosion over the decades so remains an unchanged terroir. Forms part of the Volnay slope and pulls in a significant degree of similar elegance and refinement. Beautiful deep but soft cherry nose with baking spices and violets. Palate has good definition and energy, succulent, framboise, note of anise, some salt on finish, which is drawn along by light, crisp tannins. Very charming." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
