Jean-Claude Ramonet 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge
Vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry lead, with subtle earth and sweet spice adding quiet depth. The palate is pure and focused, shaped by silky tannins and a fine mineral line rather than weight.

Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis
Earthy and smoky at first, opening into dark cherry, blood orange and dried fruit.

Still youthful and structured, this will reward decanting or further cellar time. Serve with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheese.
