"Cherry preserves, cocktail bitters, dusty, peppery spice and dried flowers are all at the fore on this fragrant, easy-to-like Pinot. There's a brightness and lightness to the fruit, thanks to lovely acidity. It's all wound up in well-structured, textural tannins, with a mineral through line. A tightrope of elegance, power and ageworthiness, this hasn't reached its peak yet and has perhaps a decade left in it."

For the challenging 2021 vintage this has a stunning perfume of violets and beautifully ripe wild blackberries. Just a hint of tar. Super concentrated and super elegant this is the best wine I have ever tasted from St. Maurice! Fantastic finesse makes this feel lighter than it really is. Enormous energy at the very long focused finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

Darker and plummier than the 2016, Guigal's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is another fine effort from this quality-conscious négociant. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, with notes of cola, dark chocolate and prune plums that linger on the silky finish.

Aromas of freshly cut grass, dragon fruit and peaches. Medium-bodied with more savory character than the nose let on. There is a hint of tang to the acidity, which articulates the stone and tropical fruit notes. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.

An aromatic nose with fresh flowers, herbs, almonds, pears and a touch of nougat. Medium body with bright acidity. Good minerality combined with a zestiness to the mid-palate giving it vibrancy and character. Plenty of lemon notes towards the salivating finish. Drink or hold.

" The 2019 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding wine. Smoke, incense, licorice and leather open in the glass, but only with great reluctance. A wine of tremendous persistence and presence, the Molsino is so impressive in 2019. It is also embryonic and in need of cellaring. The only question is how long. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural resonance, offering a glimpse of what will come in time. Drink: 2029-2049. (Jun 2023)"

95 Wine Spectator

An elegant red hallmarked by rose hip, strawberry, cherry and mineral flavors, with a bracing structure that sets the pace and drives the long, resonant finish. Overall, this is balanced, complex and long, with fine potential for aging. Best from 2025 through 2045. 555 cases made, 440 cases imported.

Give it a swirl or two to blow off the initial funk and enjoy the dried red fruit, violets and earthy oak aromas, which follow through a full-bodied palate with grainy tannins and the emphasis on spicy oak. Perhaps a little too much as it turns everything very savory by the end. Yet, it’s tasty and fun to drink even now.

Bursting with aromas of peach, pear, crushed mint and buttery pastry, the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Village is medium-bodied, ample and textural, with a pure core of fruit and a saline finish. It's derived from several parcels on the alluvial fan.

The 2022 Château Angélus is made up of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc with a pH of 3.65. Deep garnet-purple colored, it prances out of the glass with flamboyant notes of red currant jelly, wild blueberries, cassis, and candied violets, followed by suggestions of jasmine tea, star anise, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is impactful from first sip, yet slowly expands in the mouth, ultimately over-delivering on the nose's promise with layer upon layer of perfumed black and red fruits, supported by super fine-grained, silt-like tannins, finishing long and achingly shimmery.

So many beautiful primary fruit aromas. Al dente. Peaches. Very floral. Aromatic. Full-bodied and extremely fine tannins with length and beauty that show incredible depth. Superb brightness and reality. Exciting. Cabernet franc freshness and dynamics come through now, even though the blend is 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc.

This estate's shift in the direction of gentler extraction and more reductive, less overtly oaky élevage continues, and this extreme vintage only underlines that. Fermented at cool temperatures (20 to 23 degrees Celsius), and with an increasing proportion of the wine's Cabernet Franc component matured in large wooden foudres, the 2022 Angélus wafts from the glass with deep aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of iris, licorice and pencil lead. Full-bodied, deep and seamless, with a layered core of cool, vibrant fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish, it's a brilliant young wine in the making. The 2022 is a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

Lemon balm and pithy aromas meet with a light dairy touch on the nose of this bottling. The palate is extremely textural and grippy in all the right ways, showcasing bright lemon and light yogurt flavors.

The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba is one of the most distinctive wines in this range. Medium in body and translucent, the 2022 offers up an enticing mix of blue fruits, lavender, sage, mint and spice. A healthy dollop of stems (55%) adds layers of nuance without dominating the wine's balance.
