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.
MÂCON VERGISSON La Roche Domaine Barraud 2023
(this vineyard abuts the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyard of La Roche). Here the nose is sufficiently reduced to overshadow everything but a suggestion of the essence of apple and poached pear. There is a bit more volume to the rich and succulent medium-bodied flavors that possess a rounded mouthfeel while displaying notably better persistence and depth on the clean and dry finish that is shaped by lemon-tinged acidity. This is quite good for what it is and worth considering.
