Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (99)This is a great example of mountain fruit Cabernet, from celebrated winemaker Philip Corallo-Titus and director David Frankie. Glass-staining ruby in colour; intense and concentrated, with inky waves of blueberry and cassis fruits, blocks of bitter black chocolate, velvety tannins that take their time to let the fruit out. This is a tiny production wine from the wonderful 2019 vintage (for me, flying against some of the American critics). Delicious. First time on the Place de Bordeaux, and a standout in the year's wines. 100% new French oak. |

Decanter (96)Heady and ripe, floral and open on the nose with aromas of cedar, sweet strawberries, spiced plum and herbal-edged raspberries. Crisp and juicy, tight and tense - the tannins have a firm aspect to them really giving this a coiled, concentrated, knitted texture and frame where the dark, ripe fruit drives through the centre but there's lots of liquorice, dark chocolate and clove spice giving the angles and nuance, almost overtaking the fruit. Still, it's well constructed, smooth and long with lovely integrity of juiciness. Lots of Petit Verdot character also gives the singularity and signature. A fine wine with lots to like. Stylish, sophisticated and suave. 3% Merlot completes the blend. Winemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus. 3.78pH. |

Fermented in traditional open vats and aged in oak barrels for 14-18 months, this Pinot Noir exhibits an inviting, cherry-red hue. The nose is enthralling, led by succulent red fruits and nuanced by delicate floral and spice undertones. Voluptuous and velvety on the palate, the Charles Audoin Marsannay Cuvee Marie Ragonneau 2020 reveals layers of vibrant red cherries, plums and subtle hints of oak, bound by fine, integrated tannins. A sublime match for fine cuisine and distinguished palates alike. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)Like the Champs Salomon, the 2018 Marsannay La Charme aux Prêtres is a touch more reserved, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of Griotte cherries, rose petals, orange rind and a discreet framing of new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and chalky grip on the finish. I look forward to revisiting it in bottle. |

Vinous (90)Dark red. Reticent but pure aromas of bitter cherry, redcurrant, smoke, mint and earth. Supple and intensely flavored; ripe, easygoing and fairly open knit. Fat and rich. Finishes with fine tannins and spicy persistence. |

Vinous (90)Quite a different style from 2017. Aged 22 months in barrique, mix of new and old barrels. A bit reductive and toasty. The nose is attractive but oaky, with notes of cedar, hay, green olive, and rosemary. Chewy on the palate, dense, dark fresh fruit, but still lean and tight. An outlier worth checking in on a couple years from now. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Chinon Clos de la Dioterie retains its great depth of color and feels incredibly young compared with many other 2017s from the region. Demonstrating excellent concentration and full body, it is round and without any angles. There's plenty of stuffing here, yet it remains elegant and coats the mouth with a delightfully fine tannic veil. You could drink it now, but that would be infanticide. If you like classy Right Bank wines that use Cabernet Franc as their base, you'll be pleasantly surprised at this wine. |
