Clos de la Perrière Fixin Premier Cru, Albert Bichot 2020
Producer/négociant Maison Albert Bichot was founded in Beaune in 1831 and remains family-owned, with Albéric Bichot currently at the helm. Despite being a significant player in Burgundy (it’s the leading buyer at the celebrated Hospices de Beaune auction), Maison AB leads the way in sustainability and manages to maintain the ethos and accessibility of a much smaller artisanal grower. Very bright colour, High-toned cherry and cedar and whiff of woodsmoke. Supple but rich attack, mostly red berries and red plums: pleasingly aerien, the wine drifts to cheekbones, showing off mild spice and a little woodsmoke, with plum skin tannins and blood orange acidity. This is pretty sophisticated and lively - shows the quality of the this once fabled terroirs. Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
Penfolds, Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 2023
Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 2023 is a refined, cool-climate expression shaped by Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils. Aromatically it leans savoury and fresh, with red berries, cranberry and wild strawberry layered with pepper, olive, charcuterie and subtle herbal notes. The palate is medium-bodied and poised, showing juicy red and dark fruit, peppery spice and a gently earthy edge, all framed by fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity. Elegant rather than powerful, it’s a classic Bin 128 — balanced, precise and already drinking well, with the structure to age gracefully.
