Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru 'Les Millandes', Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut 2021
Despite Neal Martin's yet-to-be-scored latest vintage, it wasn't surprising to see the Sigauts being touted as "Burgundy's Next Big Thing" a few months after Martin sampled the 2020s. After a breakthrough vintage, their legacy has been solidified - even the notoriously hard-to-please critic Allen Meadows of Burghound had nothing but praise for these 2021s. Being specialists in Chambolle Musigny, Anne and Hervé possess an innate understanding of the vines, resulting in well-defined wines that are elegantly fragrant and bursting with sweet fruit flavours. From the village wines to the senior crus, they have captured the signature floral and sensuous character of Chambolle with remarkable elegance and finesse. Grapes are farmed using biodynamic methods, 100% destemmed, and the wines are unfiltered and unfined. Due to the decreased volume of Burgundy's 2021 vintage, Anne and Hervé made the tough decision to reject 30-50% of the harvest - a choice that has paid off handsomely, as the results are truly outstanding.
Valdicava, Brunello di Montalcino 2019
At our 2019 Anteprima tasting we showed the first bottles to leave the estate of Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2019, and it was so popular we had a raft of pre-orders that will devour most of our allocation. We have been waiting patiently since to offer what is a phenomenal pair of releases from one of the region’s finest producers in one of its best ever vintages. Valdicava are firmly in the top echelon of Brunello, with Vincenzo Abruzzese, whose grandfather was one of the original growers, propelling the estate to the stratosphere. Only around 5000 cases are made each year across the portfolio and the dedication to quality is second to none here with Valdicava electing to bottle no Montosoli or Riserva in 2017 or 2018, nor even producing an estate Brunello in 2018! Such an obsession with excellence guarantees that this set of releases is the crème de la crème – well worth the two years wait for a new Valdicava Brunello.
