CHÂTEAU MONTLANDRIE Côtes de Castillon 2018
The Castillon wine owned by the Durantou family, still being made by the late Denis Durantou in 2018, and one to look out for in a vintage that favoured limestone soils. Raspberry and blueberry fruits dominate, with sweet black cherry coming in as it opens, laced with fragrant tomato leaf and mouthwatering wet stone salinity. I love this wine, it is joyful and consistently impressive. 40% new oak, harvested first few days of October.
POUILLY FUISSÉ Alliance-Vergisson Domaine Barraud 2023
(from three vineyards located in Vergisson and Fuissé). Here too the nose is impossible to read in its present state where lactic elements dominate. The palate impression of the bigger and richer middle weight flavors is also more powerful though not necessarily finer before terminating in a sappy, balanced and lingering finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.
