DOMAINE FAIVELEY BLANC PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU CHAMP GAIN 2023-Domaine Faiveley
Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows.

RAVENTOS I BLANC BLANC DE BLANCS 2024-Raventos i Blanc
They call the 2024 Blanc de Blancs the vintage of hope, when the rain returned but a tad late, which was very good for the plants that survived (they lost 30% of the plants in the old vineyards in the preceding two years). But there's a change in tendency, which had an impact on the grapes from 2024; but in tough vintages, some varieties, like Xarel.lo, behave quite well. This is clean, expressive and Mediterranean and spent 18 months with the lees. It comes from more productive vineyards in lower parts and purchased grapes from the banks of the Anoia River that represent the expression of the zone quite faithfully. The wine is tasty and complex, nuanced and elegant. It is long and rich, with weight, acidity and bitter notes, with everything in balance. It was produced in a good quantity and comes at an affordable price.

IZAR-LEKU EXTRA BRUT 2022-Izar-Leku
The 2022 Izar-Leku was not only produced with the white grape Hondarrabi Zuri but also contains 4% red Hondarrabi Beltza, and for the first time, the back label shows the disgorgement date, December 2025, which means it matured in bottle with lees for 30 months. It is still quite young, but it's quite harmonious, balanced and elegant, with more nuance and smaller bubbles than the 2021 I tasted next to it. The year was very rainy, marking it as one of the wettest years of the decade, with annual precipitation exceeding 1,500 liters. Although it was generally cooler than the previous year, the vintage still featured record-breaking summer heat waves.

MOSSET CORPINNAT RESERVA BRUT NATURE 2021-Sabate i Coca
The 2021 Mosset Brut Nature has a bright yellow color and an expressive and nuanced nose. It was produced with the three classical grapes—Xarel.lo, Macabeo and Parellada—from their Mosset vineyard, fermented separately, then blended and put to referment in bottle, where the wine matured with the lees for no less than 44 months. It's quite fresh, balanced and dry, with an elegant mouthfeel.

ALUVIONAL PARAJE ALTAMIRA MALBEC 2020-Zuccardi Wines
I am very impressed with the wines from 2020, especially given that it is a much more challenging vintage—very warm and with high ripeness that had to be controlled. The 2020 Aluvional Paraje Altamira is a little juicier and fuller than the 2019, but the character of blood, iron and raw meat is more acute here. Both vintages have similar levels of alcohol (14%) and acidity, but the mouthfeel is quite different; 2020 is gentler and more tender with a silky texture.

RONCO CALINO FRANCIACORTA SATEN-Ronco Calino
The organic Ronco Calino NV Franciacorta Brut Satèn is 100% Chardonnay that goes into stainless steel, with 20% in oak for the fermentation. It then does 36 months on the lees. The wine has a sweet element with stewed apple, marzipan and Sicilian candied fruits. The mouthfeel is fleshy and round, with a creamy texture and medium-plus acidity that falls into balance. You taste the Chardonnay and feel the soft beading, just like a Satèn should be.

ARTAZU PASOS DE SAN MARTIN 2023-Artazu
The 2023 Pasos de San Martín, produced with grapes from the village of San Martín de Unx shows the more Mediterranean face of Navarra, with notes of berries, flowers and aromatic herbs, a juicy palate and good ripeness (14.5% alcohol) and balance. There is purity, no trace of oak—it matured in 600-liter casks for 12 months—and a fine, powdery texture with fine, chalky tannins. It has purity, precision and elegance.

A blend of 60% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, 10% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Réservée is a lovely wine, opening with aromas of confit citrus, white flowers, herbs and pear. Medium- to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it is layered and enveloping, built around a fleshy core of fruit, and concludes with a long, delicately smoky finish. It matured for eight months in stainless steel.

A blend of 85% Grenache Blanc, 10% Clairette and 5% Bourboulenc, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc les Hauts de Barville exhales aromas of white flowers, pear, citrus and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, tense and supple, it’s enveloping and juicy with a harmonious balance and an ethereal, mouthwatering finish. Matured in stainless tanks and for six months in concrete tanks, this is a straightforward Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc.

LES HAUTS DE BARVILLE CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE ROUGE 2022-Brotte
Crafted from vines planted in the Pignan, Saint Vierge, Bédine, Beaurenard, Pradel and Palestor plots, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hauts de Barville evokes aromas of cherries, garrigue, spices, violets and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, tense and fresh, it’s round and fleshy with a delicate core of fruit and a long, ethereal finish. Built around a classic core of fruit, this is a harmonious red wine composed of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah and 5% Cinsault.
-
THE GASK 2021-Torbreck Vintners
The 2021 The Gask is 100% Shiraz from the Eden Valley. The wine itself is brooding and black, with blue fruits and a muscularity in the mouth. It has length of flavor and line, and the tannins that infuse the fruit are intense and savory. There are notes of black tea, resin, chewing tobacco, black pepper, blackberry and cassis. This is a ripping wine. It is elegant and full-bodied at once—svelte, huge, awesome.

PIPER-HEIDSIECK CHAMPAGNE ESSENTIEL BLANC DE BLANCS EXTRA BRUT-Piper-Heidsieck
Sourced from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Sézannais, it reveals an expressive bouquet of pear, white peach and yuzu, mingling with notes of candied citrus, freshly baked bread and a hint of smoky reduction. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fleshy and charming, with racy acidity and a pillowy mousse that leads to a long, toasty finish.
