Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Les Chaliots', Maison Pierre Meurgey 2023
"Light red fruit with a touch of spice on the nose. The palate features crunchy cranberries, bright tannins, and a mineral backbone, all wrapped in a vibrant, elegant package." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
The Chocolate Block (Magnum) 2023
The Chocolate Block needs no introduction, it is a cult wine from South Africa. Big, bold and powerful this is a rich, smooth and luxurious red wine.
