The son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, Cédric Moussé took over the reins of the family estate in 2014 and modernised it from top to bottom. Nothing is left to chance to produce "better" and "better": abandonment of synthetic products, eco-grazing, electrical autonomy, use of mineral sulphur (not from petrochemicals),...

A grower since 1750, Champagne Famille Moussé sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Marne river. This village is know for a unique terroir in Champagne: a thick band of green clay that sits under sand and various other soil types. This special clay, known...

While never as big or concentrated as the Mazane, I still tend to prefer this cuvée from Alaine Jaume due to its complexity and just sheer charm. Spicy red and black fruits, Provençal garrigue, and tons of spice all shine from the 2023 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue, and it's medium-bodied, has...

Guigal’s Saint-Joseph Lieu Dit Rouge comes from the “Saint-Joseph” vineyard that gave the appellation its name. This site convinced the Guigals to work in Saint-Joseph and help to restore its historic perception as an appellation of utmost quality. This 100% Syrah wine has complex and deep black fruit, floral, spice...

Guigal’s Vignes de l’Hospice comes from the vineyard that gives the Saint-Joseph appellation its name, and is one of the finest sites in the Northern Rhone Valley. This steeply terraced Syrah vineyard used to be divided into three, but Guigal now owns majority of this parcel in order to restore...

Terre di Montalcino is a project from the Siro Pacenti estate, designed to showcase the pure pleasure of drinking Brunello di Montalcino in a more approachable style. The wine is sourced from the younger vines—15 years and under—planted in the Pacenti family’s historic vineyards of Pelagrilli and Piancornello, sites that...

Before Marcos and Miguel Angel Eguren, there were no single-vineyard wines in La Rioja. In 1985, the brothers carefully planted 45 acres of a rare Tempranillo clone in a tiny valley at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria mountains—they named their vineyard La Canoca. The brothers spaced the vines...

A classic blend brought into seamless harmony, this wine is bold and structured yet lifted by vibrant fruit and refined elegance on both nose and palate. A brief decant in its youth will reveal its full expression, while its balance and depth promise graceful aging for 15 years or more....

The Pisoni Lucia Pinot Noir Estate Cuvee from the Santa Lucia Highlands offers a vibrant ruby hue. On the nose, it presents aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. The palate is marked by a balance of fruit-forward flavors and a hint...

Cain Five offers a deep ruby hue, indicative of its rich composition. The nose reveals layers of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spice and earth. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied structure with flavors of black currant and a hint of tobacco,...

This wine has a deep garnet robe with purple reflections. The nose is intense and concentrated with notes of fresh black fruits and elegant spicy notes. The palate is silky and ample with fine tannins and a beautiful minerality. The soils in Mercurey are rich in red clay and limestone,...

Aldegheri, a renowned winery in the Veneto region of Italy, is celebrated for its dedication to traditional winemaking techniques and the production of high-quality wines. The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso is a testament to this commitment, crafted using the Ripasso method, which involves re-fermenting the wine on the lees of...

This may end up being a one-time bountiful bottling, but it feels good to return this to the makeup of the older Sonoma Coast wines. There’s the core provided by Riddle Vineyard in Occidental but then there is also some Bearwallow, Silver Eagle, Occidental Ridge, Joy Road, Bodega Thieriot and...

I referenced the success of this wine in the note above. With the Occidental Ridge, it is hard to say exactly what elevated it in 2024. With this Bodega Thieriot I think it’s obvious, vineyard maturity. Coming after several years of drought busting rainy winters, we finally have a vineyard...
