CLOS MANOU Médoc 2021
An exceptionally reliable name, and a skilful winemaker in the shape of Stéphane Dief who is really proving his worth here. Silky tannins, luscious black fruit that is structured and savoury but feels supple and fully ripe. A trace of bitterness on the finish gives a hint of the 2021 vintage, but this is easily one of the wines of the vintage in this appellation, and is one to look out for. Harvest September 29 to October 16. 60% new oak, with the rest in the mix of amhora and concrete eggs. Unfined, and only lightly filtered. 52% of overall production in this wine. Hand harvested.
FRANCIACORTA Saten Brut Corteaura
<i>100% Chardonnay. Three years on the lees, only four bar of pressure because less sugar is added for second fermentation in bottle (18 v 24 g/l). RS (residual sugar) 4 g/l.</i> Gentle lemon and pear aroma. Soft, gentle yet fresh. A subtle style. (Satèn means silky, apparently.) Chalky texture. Great subtlety here but plenty of flavour and finesse. GV
