Burgundy
Clos De La Roilette 2019/20 Fleurie Mg
A beautifully lifted Cru Beaujolais with fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate layered with violet, peony, and a subtle earthy spice. The palate is more structured than typical Fleurie, offering a medium- to full-bodied frame with ripe acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury mineral edge driven by its manganese-rich soils. Juicy yet serious, with impressive depth and a long, floral-tinged finish that will reward short to medium term cellaring.
Remoissenet 1969 Chevalier L’Arquebuse
A beautifully mature Burgundian expression showing evolved aromatics of dried citrus peel, baked apple, hazelnut, and honeyed wax layered with truffle, spice, and delicate oxidative complexity. The palate is silky and fully integrated, with softened acidity carrying a mellow core of preserved orchard fruit, toasted nuts, and savoury umami depth. Long and contemplative on the finish, unfolding with layers of nutty, earthy nuance and refined tertiary character that speak to its age and quiet complexity. Drink sooner than later.
Billaud-Simon 2020 Chablis Gc Bougros
The nose is greeted by an enticing bouquet of delicate white flowers, intertwined with subtle notes of citrus blossom and a hint of honeysuckle. Beneath this floral veil lies a mineral core, evocative of wet stones after a summer rain, complemented by whispers of flint and sea breeze, a signature of the Chablis terroir.
Bougros is located on the right bank of the Serein River, in the north west corner of the Grand Cru slope, which flows through the Chablis region. It has a remarkable south east exposure and the steepest slope of all the Chablis Grand Crus.
