Fromm, The Curation Pinot Noir 2020
The 2020 Curation Pinot Noir from Fromm is bright, supple, and sophisticated. It opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, layered with hints of dried herbs and earth. The palate is silky and fine-boned, showing juicy fruit upfront, then tightening into a more savoury, mineral edge that speaks clearly of its Marlborough origins. The tannins are gentle but present, giving the wine shape without weighing it down. One of New Zealand's rising stars, Fromm Vineyards has built a strong reputation for elegant, site-driven wines since its founding in the 1990s. The estate has always leaned towards organic farming and a hands-off approach in the cellar, letting the vineyards do the talking. The Curation Pinot brings together fruit from their top sites, offering a snapshot of the estate’s style: pure, balanced, and confident.
Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru 'Les Vasées', Domaine François Raquillet 2021
François Raquillet's 2021 Premier Cru Les Vasées is a great example of why this domaine is getting so much attention. The wine is full of bright red cherry and raspberry fruit, with a touch of spice and a hint of earthiness underneath. The palate is supple and generous but still carries that classic Mercurey structure, giving it both charm and depth.
