Burgound Reviews "Dominique Lafon's nephew Pierre briefly noted that the 2022 vintage "was relatively abundant as our yields were in the 50 to 55 hl/ha range, which for us is quite good but in the context of the region, if we're being honest, it's well below average. By the same token, potential alcohols were excellent as they came in between 12.5 to 13% which is right where we like them to be. Stylistically, the 2022s offer freshness, good verve and … more

'The 2023 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette has one of the best aromatics of the range: crushed stone, sea cave and light Granny Smith scents with good focus. The palate is well balanced with a crisp entry. This has fine weight and density but is more backward and perhaps befits a couple of years in bottle.' Neil Martin 91pts - Vinous

Winemaker notes 'Full of perfume, summer berries, brown spice and earth notes, with fleshy weight and a savoury finish, this is cool climate Pinot Noir in fine form'.
Sourced from the Doeven site in Henty Victoria on schist soils, the Pinot Noir clone is of swiss origin (Mariafield) with an open bunch structure, perfectly suited for ripening in cooler climates. Hand picked and fermented in open top vessels with a small whole bunch component, matured in oak for 11 months … more

"Made in the Traditional Method, this Vintage 2018 Sparking Pinot Noir displays aromas of citrus, red apple and sourdough bread. The palate is elegant, with a creamy texture and crisp dry finish. The 2018 Little Cathedral Blanc De Noir is a 100% single vineyard Pinot Noir - handpicked, whole bunch pressed and tirage bottled in June 2018." Producer's note

Producer Notes - "Lake County rises high above the north end of the Napa Valley, over the Mayacamas Mountain range. Classic Bordeaux varieties dominate vineyard plantings in this agricultural basin. Warm summer days are moderated by the cooling mass of Clear Lake - California's largest natural lake. Since 2012, Little Frances has sourced Semillon from a single vineyard owned and tended by three generations of the Luchsinger family.
An absolutely superb growing season for Northern California. This wine showed promise … more

Inspired by bright North-Eastern Italian reds, Pat Underwood blends Nebbiolo and Friulian variety Refosco, sourcing fruit from Colbinabbin in Central Victoria. The wine is vibrant and fresh, bright red fruit and floral aromas and a whiff of just-picked garden mint. Pop it in the fridge for a spell and serve lightly chilled on a warm day.

Originally from the volcanic soils of Southern Italy, it makes sense that Fiano would find home in the equally remarkable Cambrian soils of Heathcote. The guys at Jasper Hill have a ball making this cracking Fiano in their Heathcote site, a great mid-week wine laden with texture and notes of quince, hazelnut and fresh honeycomb, right from the hive.

This is a ground-breaking "Aussie GG" Riesling conceived by Tom & Sam Barry with Erni Loosen. The wine combines grand-cru Clare fruit with Mosel methodology and a Dr Loosen foudre.
"
On 3rd March 2018, five tonnes of Riesling were hand harvested and sorted from Block 18 (planted in 1979) at our Lodge Hill vineyard. We harvested the fruit at 12.2 Baumé. Fruit was stored in a cold room overnight to … more

"Here too there is a whiff of a similar varnish character but in this case it is so subtle that it doesn't overly detract from the pretty and cool aromas of red and dark cherry, spice and forest floor. The seductively textured yet powerful and muscular stony large-scaled flavors terminate in an exceptionally firm, long and balanced finish. This is a 'buy and forget I own it' wine." 91-94, Drink 2035+ - Burghound, Issue 74

"A broad-ranging nose is comprised by notes of earth, spice, plum, dark cherry, violet and more moderate though hardly subtle wood. The rich, round and impressively-scaled flavors possess fine density and evident power that carries over to the sappy and palate coating finish that is admirably persistent. This isn't quite as complex as the Bèze but there is excellent underlying material such that this should ultimately transform into an excellent CdlR." 92-94, Drink 2034+. Burghound, Issue 70

"A pungent nose is composed of strong wood and equally strong reduction. Otherwise there is a round and velvety texture to the muscular big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and ample amounts of dry extract while displaying first-rate persistence on the bitter cherry inflected finish that is on the rustic side. This too is very much built-to-age and is going to need at least 6 to 8 years first to better harmonize and integrate the oak treatment." 91-94, Drink … more

The 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir is the latest triumph in this journey, following in the footsteps of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 vintages, which swept up pretty much every award going at our nation's wine shows. This was followed by the 2022 bottling clinching the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2023.
"The 2023 La Maison Pinot Noir offers a complex nose of raspberry, pomegranate, and cherry blossom, with a palate of densely structured red fruits. Subtle notes of … more
