De Martino Tres Volcanes Chardonnay 2019
Plenty of rain but a short growing season in Chile's Malleco region produces a Chardonnay with ripe citrus and green apple aromas, with a dash of hazelnut and smoky minerality. Enjoy now, or add more complexity with ageing up to 15 years.
Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes, Meurgey-Croses 2023
"This single-vineyard wine from old vines (65-95 years) offers salinity and minerality, with fresh lime and pithy citrus on the palate. Fermented in large barrels with no new oak, it’s a precise, well-balanced wine with a sapid finish." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
