2017
Parent 2017 Beaune Premier Cru Les Epenottes
A textured, caressing red Burgundy with concentrated, vibrant fruit and a measured touch of oak. The palate is medium-bodied and poised, balancing supple texture with the gentle firmness expected of a premier cru. A subtly rustic, savoury edge shapes the finish. Serve with roast poultry, duck or simply prepared red meat.
Domaine Joseph Burrier 2017 Chiroubles Saint Roch
Deep ruby and lifted, opening with ripe cherry, blackberry and redcurrant over a subtle peppery spice. The palate is supple and finely shaped, balancing juicy Gamay fruit with bright freshness and a gentle savoury edge. Silky tannins carry a long, poised finish. Serve lightly cool with roast chicken, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
Domaine Georges Vernay 2017 Terres d’Encre Saint-Joseph
Dark cherry, damson plum and blackberry meet violet, white pepper and a light smoky note. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with pure fruit carried by vibrant acidity and soft, discreet tannins. Sanguine minerality and a savoury olive edge lead into a persistent, focused and quietly spicy finish.
Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2017 Saint-Joseph La Croix des Vignes
Château Palmer 2017 Margaux
Aromatic and finely shaped, with black cherry, blackberry and cassis joined by violet, anise, rose hip, tea and a discreet earthy note. Medium-bodied and silky, the palate combines ripe, smooth tannins with bright acidity, mineral freshness and impressive mid-palate intensity. The finish is long and elegant; decant for about three hours and serve with beef or roast lamb.
