Château Pibran 2017
The 2017 Château Pibran is a superb wine from the AXA stable (and a close cousin to Château Pichon Baron). It displays a good colour—moderate to rich garnet with some lingering purple hues. The nose is sweet and inviting, offering aromas of currants, stewed plums, and hints of Ribena. On the palate, it strikes a balance between freshness and depth, with plenty of dark fruit flavours complemented by a soft to moderate mouthfeel. The fruit lingers nicely on the finish, and while the tannins are present, they are not overpowering.
Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Maelie, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2021
Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity.
