Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Maelie, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils 2021

Blink and you’d literally miss Domaine Jean Tardy, an envelope-sized sign by a driveway off the RN74 just outside Vosne Romanée the only indication that you are in the right place. Unprepossessing as this domaine looks, the wines continue to show plenty of personality and Guillaume does a particularly impressive line in vieilles vignes lieu dits (old vine, single vineyards), which allow him to “avoid making a bad marriage between the wrong parcels”. The results are always seductive and digestible and compete with premier crus for quality and complexity.

Viña Arana Rioja Gran Reserva 2017

This complex red is the perfect match for meats, stews, seasoned fish and chocolate puds. With layers of black and red fruits and a long, fresh finish, it’s also ideal after dinner. Great ageing potential.
