PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Referts Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot 2019
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru is a little steelier, maybe slightly more malic on the nose compared to the Champ Canet. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, slightly waxy in texture with hints of white pepper towards the finish that just dips before the finish line and loses a point. But otherwise this is very fine.
Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol 2021
A blend of 77% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Vieux Château Certan wafts from the glass with lovely aromas of violets, rose petals, sweet wild berries, exotic spices, orange rind and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, it's an elegant, fleshy wine with a bright core of fruit, ultra-refined tannins and a precise, saline finish. Despite its almost Burgundian finesse, this Pomerol's remarkably penetrating, perfumed finish gives the lie to any notion that it's in any way lacking in intensity of flavor. As is almost invariably the case, Vieux Château Certan is one of the finest wines of the appellation this year.
