POMMARD 1er Cru Épenots Domaine Nicolas Rossignol 2020
(from both Grands and Petits Epenots with some vines that are 116 years of age; 90% whole clusters). A cool, restrained and equally elegant nose is overtly floral with its ripe aromas of dark berry liqueur, earth and pretty spice elements. The venerable old vines are very much in evidence thanks to the seemingly endless reserves of sappy dry extract that confer a highly seductive texture in addition to buffering the exceptionally firm, compact and tightly wound bitter pit fruit-inflected finale that just goes on and on. This superb effort is consistently Rossignol’s finest wine and so it is again in 2020. If you can find it, buy it though note well that it is likely to mature glacially.
PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny Domaine Thomas-Collardot 2023
Here too there is just enough wood to merit mentioning on the firmly reduced nose. There is fine volume and mid-palate density to the succulent, rich and relatively generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm acid spine shaping the citrusy and ever-so-mildly warm finale. This is a wine that should repay 7 to 10 years of keeping yet isn’t so compact that it couldn’t be reasonably approached after only 3 to 4 years if that’s your preference.
