Can’ Leandro Panxut 2019
$37.99100% Bonicaire (an indigenous Spanish grape)
Fragrant red fruit aromas with hints of currant, ripe strawberries and orange zest. Fresh yet soft on the palate, with mouthwatering herbs tinged with a dash of spice.
Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
$129.99Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
Domaine Pelle Menetou-Salon Morogues 2018
$49.99Made from several parcels in the village of Morogues. Practicing organic, soils are plowed and completely hand-harvested. Aged in a combo of 70% tank and 30% wood (foudres and used 400L barrels) and for 11 months.
A classic style that is released ready to drink. Quite aromatic on the nose with a rich and powerful palate, quite full bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc and makes a great alternative to Sancerre.
Domaine Pellé Morogues Menetou-Salon 2018
$49.99100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
Aydie Pacherenc du Vic Bihl (500mL)
$49.99A silvery yellow, this wine is perfectly brilliant and clear. Exotic fruits and honeyed notes on the nose, a combination of delicacy and strength. The lively attack on the palate is in complete balance with the rich, fat structure. The finish is a caress of citrus fruits and a long vanilla sweetness, typical of grapes dried on the vine. This sweet wine has enormous potential. To be drunk cold at 8° to 10°C and pairs perfectly with foie gras and cheeses.
This product is 500mL.
Raices Tempranillo 2022
$13.99Minimum 24 months ageing before release, 9 months of which have been in 225 Lt barrels. Deep garnet red with a coppery rim. Aromas of red berry fruit, white pepper and spices. The palate displays a red fruit and spicy wood character in balance with a finish that’s fresh and fruit-driven.
Champalou Vouvray Brut
$49.99100% Chenin Blanc.
A remarkable complexity with a texture that shows both a creamy richness and marked minerality. A fantastic alternative to Champagne, it boasts a floral nose with notes of peaches and melon. The honeyed palate is round with excellent acidity and a deliciously long finish.
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
$37.9993 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
Raices Tempranillo Reserva
$19.99Minimum 36 months, of which at least 12 months were spent in French and American oak barrels with a maximum capacity of 225 liters. Dark red cherry color with russet hues. Aromas of red fruit,vanilla, toasted oak and minerals. Well structured, unctuous and tasty, long and round aftertaste.
Smoked and roast meats. Serving Temperature: 15 °C – 17 °C.
Reverdito Barolo Castagni 2016
$99.99Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 6,000 bottles
Soil: Marl & Limestone
Castagni vineyard lies at an altitude of 370 to 450 metres above sea level. Given the near perfect vintage, the 2016 Castagni offers beautiful drinking now but will most certainly reward cellaring. Incredible value for money here in such a pricey and sought after vintage. Lots of typical dark morello cherry and forest fruit, sweet spice and leather with a more savoury, smoky finish and firm but rounded tannins. This is a remarkably harmonious young Barolo.
