Pommard Premier Cru 'Les Grands Epenots', Maison Pierre Meurgey 2022
Our second vintage from Pierre, who divides his time between vineyards in Macon and the Cote d’Or, the latter being made in Chateau de Bligny, formerly the winemaking base of Jane Eyre. Pierre characterises 2022 has having “ ripeness and preserved freshness" . He suggests that despite the hot year the wines do not have the same concentration as 2020 - which were more forced because of the early harvest, and instead show a greater natural balance, being made from “ happy fruit ” as he puts it. He notes the wines have gained more body during élévage but retain a fresher style than normal solar vintages. Head Wine Guru Tom's notes are a little brief as an unexpected appointment to taste the Hospices de Beaune 2023 wines at the cuverie prior to this year’s auction cut across our appointment so we raced through these wines with almost indecent haste! We highly suggest you take your time to appreciate them more leisurely as there is plenty to enjoy here.
San Giorgio a Lapi, Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva, (Magnum) 2021
Grown in the rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, San Giorgio a Lapi's Bandecca Chianti Classico Riserva delivers deep, ripe cherry and blackberry flavours, layered with hints of spice, leather, and earthy undertones. Aged to perfection, it strikes a great balance between richness and elegance, with silky tannins and a long, smooth finish. Whether you're pairing it with a classic bistecca alla fiorentina, a hearty pasta dish, or just enjoying a glass on its own, this Chianti Classico Riserva has heaps of Tuscan charm.
