The Pierre Vallet XXO Hors d’Age Cognac is an “extra, extra old'' blend of eaux-de-vie brought to you for the first time from Maison Pierre Vallet; a humble family-run Cognac house that has dipped its toes into production of the newest age denomination in the Cognac world and have created their very own Hors d’Age extra eaux-de-vie.
The generic Santenay is made from old vines – 50 years of average age – is a good start. It’s quite forward – 70% whole cluster – with a lovely organic fruit spiced with cinnamon and allspice. On the palate rich and velvet with a lavish feel for a wine at this level.
Chérisey may not yet be a household name, but if our crystal ball is correct, it’s only a matter of time. The juxtaposition of the delicacy and generosity of the old vine "La Pièce sous la bois" may require you to run to your nearest fainting couch. When you take a sip it’s inevitable that you will sit down, close your eyes and say, “mmm” out loud.
The cellar in which Eric Jeanneteau raises his single wine, a beautiful red Saint-Émilion grand cru, is an unadorned building on the family estate in Saint-Étienne de Lisse. Jeanneteau varies his vinification quite a bit depending on each vintage’s conditions, and the results can be fascinating, even startling, like hearing the same symphony interpreted by different conductors. His 2015 is supple, vibrant, and alive. The cellar may be plain, but there’s a true chef d’orchestre inside.
The nose is fruity and offers a small intensity and a certain concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry and cassis associated with discreet hints of spices and a fine touch of blueberry. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice freshness, tension, precision and a silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry cream, plum and a touch of blueberry combined with a hint of chocolate as well as a fine hint of mocha and licorice. Tannins are fine and well built. Good length.
Rich, textured, racy and complex, the ’08 Rosso del Bepi wafts from the glass with an explosion of berries, cherries, and figs, all complemented by incense, tobacco, cigar wrapper, umami and earth.
Planted in 1999, Levy & McClellan is a project by Bob Levy, who has been at Harlan Estate since its beginning, and by Martha McClellan, who is winemaker for Sloan and Checkerboard.
With a nice pale yellow colour, our Mâcon-Lugny offers a nose of citrus, with grapefruit and green lemon notes. The mouth is ample and suave with yellow fruits, citrus and muscat aromas. Beautiful freshness on the finish.
