A-F Gros Pommard Premier Cru Arvelets 2019/20
The Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets is Pinot Noir from a small plot. Hand harvested grapes are brought back to the cellar in less than 10 minutes. The vinification takes place in enamelled concrete vats and wooden vats. Cold maceration is carried out for approximately 3 to 5 days with a soft pump over. The wood for the oak barrels comes mainly from the forests of Chatillonais and Fontainebleau. This wine is aged on average 18 months, with 65% new barrels. Drink now through 2030.

Foncesa 1970 Vintage Port
"Fonseca 1970 was the finest bottle I have encountered. The bouquet opens beautifully with heady scents of clove, ginger, small red cherries, bergamot and allspice, displaying exquisite definition and harmony. The palate follows suit with lovely balance and poise in the mouth, notes of kirsch, shaved ginger and walnut building to an opulent, viscous finish that lacquers the mouth. Yet this bottle shows more control than the bottle tasted four years ago." - Robert Parker 95 points
