Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo, - 3L (Jeroboam) 2020
For fifteen years, we have unapologetically beaten the drum for San Leonardo, and it’s fantastic to see its critical acclaim and global recognition growing year after year. Jancis Robinson describes it as “ Surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of Northern Italy ”, a wine of “ astoundingly consistent quality… beautifully low-key and like the most refined red Bordeaux imaginable. ” The 2020 release continues this extraordinary lineage, following in the footsteps of the back-to-back 98-point 2018 and 2019 vintages, and has just been crowned 'Red Wine of the Year 2026' by The Essential Guide to Italian Wines (DoctorWine), with founder Daniele Cernilli praising its “ unquestionable finesse and elegance ” and consistency stretching back to the first vintage in 1982 (what a year to start!). "The latest vintage is a remarkable wine, fine-boned, pure and detailed, with herbal fruit, filigree tannins and the estate’s signature vein of spicy acidity. The nose is pure and herbaceous-led, rosehips, hawthorn, and wild mountain herbs from the carménère lead the aromatics, supported by classic Cabernet lead pencil, cedar and forest berries and spicier Merlot red plums. The palate is sapid and fresh, with crystalline blue and red fruits, capturing a floral purity, that progress in a linear fashion to the savoury, saline, dry spice-inflected finish. Carrying just 12.5% alcohol, this mid-weight charmer reinforces San Leonardo’s deserved reputation for paying homage to classic Bordeaux, focussed on energy and elegance." Tom Harrow
Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru 'Aux Malconsorts', Domaine de Montille 2023
"Bordering the iconic Grand Cru La Tâche, this wine benefits from 50-year-old vines in clay and stony soils. Two-thirds whole cluster fermentation and 40% new oak result in complex aromas of soft red fruit, floral and spice notes, and a precise, angular palate of dark cherries and plums." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
