Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Pernot-Belicard 2016
Pernot-Belicard's 2016 Puligny is classic, understated elegance - cool citrus and white peach wrapped in a fine veil of florals, with a quiet mineral line that tightens and lengthens as it opens. On the palate it’s poised and gently textural, offering just enough mid-weight creaminess before tapering into a saline, stone-etched finish. 2016 was challenging but rewarding: frost cut yields dramatically, yet what remained was wonderfully concentrated, pure and finely balanced. Pernot-Belicard turned adversity into precision, producing wines with real focus and drive. Pernot-Belicard is one of Puligny’s rising stars, run by Paul Pernot’s grandson, Philippe. Since taking over in the early 2010s, he’s tightened viticulture, refined élevage and pushed quality to impressive heights.
Toscana Blanco 'Metafisica', Castello Romitorio 2021
Metafisica is Castello Romitorio’s thoughtful Tuscan white, blending Chardonnay from Montalcino with Trebbiano (Procanico) from Scansano. The components are vinified separately and aged on lees in barrique, bringing texture and complexity while keeping the focus on freshness and balance. 2021 marks an important step for the wine, refining its shape and sense of place. The Wine Advocate's Monica Larner has declared " Filippo Chia's Castello Romitorio is on fire. All of his wines are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight ", and having pushed through to the front rank of Montalcino, Castello di Romitorio is arguably Tuscany's most exciting address. When we first brought on Castello di Romitorio we were convinced this was an estate going places and it's a real pleasure to see Filippo and the team achieve the superstar status they deserve.
