Familia Nin-Ortiz, Priorat Planetes De Nin 2016
Família Nin Ortiz are among Priorat's quieter obsessives - working tiny parcels of old-vine Grenache and Carignan on the region's famous llicorella schist, and doing very little else besides letting the land speak. Planetes de Nin is their entry point into that conversation, but don't be misled by the positioning: this is a serious, structured red with real depth and an almost iron-willed grip that is pure Priorat. Think dark fruit pressed hard against volcanic rock, with dried wild herbs and a finish that seems to drag slate along with it. The 2016 vintage in Priorat was one of the more balanced in recent memory - enough warmth for ripeness, enough freshness to keep the wine from tipping into excess.
Monthélie Premier Cru, Clos des Champs Fulliot, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2019
We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here... "A walled clos that has avoided soil erosion over the decades so remains an unchanged terroir. Forms part of the Volnay slope and pulls in a significant degree of similar elegance and refinement. Beautiful deep but soft cherry nose with baking spices and violets. Palate has good definition and energy, succulent, framboise, note of anise, some salt on finish, which is drawn along by light, crisp tannins. Very charming." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
