Le Gode, Brunello di Montalcino 2018
Owned and run by the Ripaccioli family for 56 years, this rising star practices classic Montalcino traditionalism with a minimalist approach to winemaking. They produce quintessential Brunello on a small scale in the north on Montosoli hill, which is known for its high altitude and silt clay and marl soil dotted with limestone and gravel. The production from this area is synonymous with sumptuously smooth and elegant wines, delicate minerality, longevity and striking aromatics. Though no official classification system is in place, Montosoli is regarded as a Grand Cru area of Montalcino. Le Gode’s minimal intervention methodology contributes to the pure expression of Sangiovese from this iconic terroir and delivers a resulting freshness that lends structure and finesse. Their Brunello di Montalcinos are aged in Slavonian oak for three years and then six months in French oak before spending up to 8 months in bottle. The Ripaccioli family recommends a glass of this before any important decision, a recommendation we take very seriously!
Premier Cru 'Clos La Renarde', Domaine Paul & Marie Jacqueson 2019
Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, this esteemed domaine has remained a family affair, with his son Paul taking the reins in 1972, followed by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently, his son Pierre. Recognised as one of the finest in the Côte Chalonnaise, the domaine spans 13 hectares of ideally situated, often very old vines. They rigorously prune to limit yields to around 35 hl/ha and work the vineyards entirely by hand, employing minimal treatments. As one of the few producers in the village to hand-pick all their grapes, their winemaking is exceptionally skilled, with careful use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) resulting in beautifully crafted wines that are ripe, intense, and remarkably elegant.
