SANTENAY 1er Cru Clos Rousseau Domaine de la Choupette 2022

The 2022 Santenay Clos Rousseau 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet, with redcurrant, cranberry and forest floor unfolding nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, turning ripe and slightly candied toward the finish, whilst retaining plenty of freshness. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Tasted at merchants' 2022 Burgundy tastings in London.

SHAY’S FLAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON Landsborough Joshua Cooper 2021

Joshua Cooper is a producer whose wines I buy in my spare time and drink when I'm not working. The wines are detailed and interesting, and that's something I really value, along with distinction, specificity, place and identity. So, the 2021 Shay's Flat Cabernet Sauvignon leads with a leafy, cassis-riddled nose, which is brambly and spiced, with lotus leaf/humidor (to quote a friend), star anise, mountain herbs, coal dust, salted licorice, ash/embers and blackberries. In the mouth, the tannins are svelte and streamlined—they shape the fruit but it's an invisible caress—and their finesse is like finely milled powder. While tasting, the rockiness of the place evokes earth and minerals in the mind. The cool part about this wine is its austerity of line and structure: it packs flavor and complexity and freshness into a fine-boned package. It's awesome. Thrilling, actually.
