Every now and then there are wines that peep their heads up from our gigantic list and demand to be heard. Claiming all the spotlight for themselves.
These are wines for whom tasting notes are redundant. We won’t forget them in a hurry, and sometimes, ‘we murder to dissect’.
Here’s a recent highlights reel of wines that belong in the above category…
Feu Follet, a gringet from Dominique Belluard’s Ayze vineyard, was electric with acid and minerals, yet with pristine pear fruit that hinted towards something tropical. Magical stuff.
Etienne Thiebaud’s Poulsard, de Chemenot was the essence of the glou glou style. So pure and ethereal, infinitely drinkable and alive.
Whilst Jean Claude Lapalu’s Eau Forte proves the heights that Gamay can reach, and Zidarich’s Kamen is an odyssey; each mouthful revealing new depths. A true ‘vino di meditatzione’.
