Importers Notes - "From a plot just over 1 hectare in size in Les Monts Damnés, the imposing sweep of vineyards that look down driectly upon Chavignol. This has a deeper tone and pitch than the 'Caillotes' and perhaps a touch more concentration. François's Monts Damnés is clearly the best example of this famous Cru. Reflecting the excellent vintage, this wine is cool and compact, a taut, tightly coiled core of briny minerality; such tension, and exquisite balance. Superb and … more

As you drive from Morey in the south there is a small valley at the start of the Gevry appellation where the Combe is, then you rise up on to the plateau. Le Fourneau sits on the right hand side of the road on this plateau. East facing. Same latitude as Clos de Beze. Apparently in the past there was a furnace in the area, people bringing iron to the site to melt hence the name. Le Fourneau means Furnace, … more

A new wine from Francois following the inaugural 2017 vintage. 2019 and 2020 are already in barrel to follow this first release. The 'triangle', Francois loves the elegance offered by this 1er Cru. He highlights that 2018 has given a completeness to the terroir without aggressive tannins. East exposition, lots of Limestone near the surface. 'Spicy', 'Oriental', 'Density' just some of the descriptors Francois uses with this vintage. Bottled in May 2020.

"Rarely does such a youthful riesling come to the glass with this high level of class and complexity. A lovely melding of the aromatic, the citrus and the apple fruited is here together with a charming spiciness and mouthwateringly bright acidity. Crab apple, red Delicious apple, lime zest, lemon, citrus, spice, white pepper and ginger mix and play with a lovely delicate fragrance of jasmine. Acidity is always an integral part of Isolation Ridge riesling, bringing both tension and a … more

"This is a shiraz of genuine appeal. The mid palate is sweet and ripe but there's a lot flying about the edges. Redcurrant and raspberry meets graphite, black pepper, clove and woodsmoke. It's soft and accessible in general but the finish is curled with just-enough tannin to give it shape and class. Very nice. Very good" Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

"The Fuligni 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine, and it shines a much-deserved spotlight on one of the most consistent estates in Montalcino. It is bright and luminous with a dark ruby shine. The bouquet reveals deeply layered tones of red cherry, wild berry, rose, earth and candied violets. Give the wine an extra twirl or two, and you get some rosemary and lavender. Soft dusty mineral and limestone also appear. I'd definitely put this bottle on a … more

"Do you have a favourite pair of jeans or a favourite dress that you keep in your closet for all occasions? That's the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture … more

"The 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is finely cut and chiseled, as it so often is. Dried flowers, mint, crushed rocks, pine and red berry fruit all grace this taut, sculpted Barolo. The 2018 has all of the energy of this site, but its signatures are decidedly dialed down. Drink 2026-2043." 93, Antonio Galloni, vinous.com

"The 2019 Barolo Coste di Rose is the most open of the vineyard designates, but is not the easy going Barolo it has often been in the past. Bright acids and veins of supporting tannin gives the 2019 its taut, rather nervous feel. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice flowers and earthy tones all develop with a bit of time in the glass. There is a bit of nervousness in the tannin that needs to soften, but all the elements … more
