✨Poderi Aldo Conterno – Bussiador 2013✨
This 100% Chardonnay from Aldo Conterno comes from various vineyards in Bussia (Monforte d’Alba). The grapes are harvested in the first ten days of September and are fermented in wood. After fermentation, the wine rests for a few days in stainless steel vats, and once the alcoholic fermentation has begun, it is transferred back into wood until fermentation is complete.

The result is a full-bodied wine with great aging potential.

The wine is gorgeous, still showing beautiful lemon and pineapple tones. There are also hints of honey and coffee, suggesting that the wine is at its peak and should be enjoyed now. Very well balanced, with bright acidity and a long, elegant aftertaste.

Château Mouton Rothschild 1986

A legendary wine, sometimes slightly overshadowed by the other iconic vintage, 1982. However, this is a wine that matured much more slowly than the 1982, which means it is now truly at its peak. This is also reflected in various wine critics’ reviews—over the years, the wine has been repeatedly tasted, and the scores have steadily increased. It has now received the maximum score of 100 points four times, twice 99 points, and 19 points from Jancis Robinson.

What makes this even more remarkable is that 1986 was not considered the best vintage in Bordeaux, yet Château Mouton Rothschild stood out far above the rest that year.

The wine still shows beautiful fruit after more than 35 years, and the tannins have softened. Notes of blackberry combined with leather and subtle spiciness. Others at the table also detected hints of to***co and leaves. But everyone agreed—the fruit still dominates. It’s also an intensely concentrated wine with a phenomenal finish. So from us, it too receives the maximum score.

Domaine d’Auvenay – Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er Cru 1999

Domaine d’Auvenay is a very small estate from Saint-Romain, founded in 1988 and the home of the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, who is, of course, the winemaker. Recent vintages are only released when Lalou Bize-Leroy believes they are ready for consumption—often only 10 years later and sometimes even longer.

The wine began to open up slowly after we had it open for just over fifteen minutes. Yet, it revealed itself more and more the longer it sat in the glass; certainly, a wine that can easily be opened one hour and maybe even two hours in advance. Following its development over those hours is also part of the experience when drinking such an exceptional wine.

What stands out are the high yet beautiful acids in this wine, combined with citrus fruits. It is a very dry wine with notes of white flowers and abundant minerality. You can also detect hints of crème brûlée and nutty nuances at the end, suggesting that it is truly fully mature. The year 1999 was, of course, not the best for white Burgundian wines, and although the wine remains gorgeous, it is slowly beginning to approach its ultimate window of drinkability. It is thanks to the expertise of Lalou Bize-Leroy that we can still enjoy this wine in 2025. What an exceptional experience.

14/02/2025

Château Cheval Blanc has always been one of our absolute favorite wineries from Bordeaux. However, 1989 was a challenging year in Saint-Émilion. A few years ago, we had the opportunity to taste a 1989 Cheval Blanc, and we unanimously agreed that, along with Angélus and Troplong Mondot, it was one of the finest wines from Saint-Émilion in that vintage. But that was quite some time ago, so we were very curious to see how this wine would hold up in 2025.

Upon opening, the aroma immediately reveals a beautiful spiciness, enveloped by light sweet notes, hints of leaves, and black fruit. The acidity is perfect, maintaining a remarkable balance. The tannins are velvety soft, and the texture is silky smooth, with refined notes of red fruit and leather in the taste. Even after all these years of aging in the cellar, the wine remains extraordinary.

As the finish unfolds, subtle hints of mushroom emerge, subtly signaling that this wine has now reached its peak—or perhaps even slightly surpassed it. This is entirely expected for a wine from a difficult vintage that is nearly 35 years old. Nevertheless, it remains an outstanding wine and an absolute must-try for those who have the chance to enjoy it in the coming years.

Champagne Philippe Gonet – Belemnita Grand Cru 2005 with fresh Oysters

The Belemnita 2005 remains an exceptionally fresh and elegant Blanc de Blancs from the esteemed artisan champagne house, Philippe Gonet. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Gonet family has been crafting champagne for seven generations, with their expertise shining through in this remarkable vintage.

Only 2,400 bottles of this complex cuvée were produced, using grapes exclusively from their own Grand Cru vineyard, located next to the legendary vineyard of Salon. Even after nearly 20 years, this champagne exhibits striking chalky minerality, beautifully intertwined with delicate citrus notes and hints of white flowers.

When paired with fresh Dutch oysters, the minerality of the Belemnita 2005 enhances the briny oceanic flavors, while its crisp citrus nuances create a perfect balance. A truly exceptional pairing for connoisseurs of fine champagne and seafood.

Duemani – Altrovino 2017

Duemani is a renowned Super Tuscan winery, founded in 2000 by the couple Elena Celli and Luca d’Attoma in the picturesque village of Riparbella, Tuscany. Luca, an accomplished winemaker, had already worked for prestigious Italian wineries like Tua Rita and Le Macchiole before fulfilling his dream of starting his own venture alongside his wife. The name Duemani, meaning “two hands,” symbolizes their enduring partnership and shared passion.

The estate’s vineyards are located at an altitude of 250–300 meters on poor, stony soils, just 15 kilometers from the Tuscan coast. Here, the couple cultivates their favorite varieties: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah, across 12 hectares of biodynamically managed land. They adhere to strict organic practices, using only natural pesticides, which allows the grapes to maintain their authentic character. Duemani holds the esteemed Demeter certification for biodynamic agriculture.

The Altrovino 2017 is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, crafted during a challenging vintage for Tuscany. Despite the difficulties, this wine showcases remarkable quality and depth. It bursts with rich aromas and flavors of chocolate, walnut, leather, and spices, complemented by notes of dark fruits like blueberry and blackberry. With well-integrated tannins and a long, velvety finish, this wine is a testament to the artistry of Duemani.

Currently the Altrovino 2017 promises an exceptional drinking experience.

A Viña Seña and Viñedo Chadwick Masterclass with Master of Wine, Cees van Casteren

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting an exclusive masterclass with the esteemed Master of Wine, Cees van Casteren. Together, we embarked on a journey to explore the exquisite wines of Chile’s most iconic producers, Viña Seña and Viñedo Chadwick. 🍷

Cees brought his unparalleled tasting expertise and decades of wine knowledge to this intimate gathering. As a longtime friend of Eduardo Chadwick, he shared fascinating stories and unique insights into the history and craftsmanship behind these extraordinary wines.

The masterclass featured a tasting of some of the most celebrated vintages from Viñedo Chadwick and Viña Seña. Among the highlights was the Chadwick 2021, a masterpiece that earned a perfect 100-point score from critics such as Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and James Suckling. We were also treated to a sneak peek of the 2022 vintages, including the Rocas de Seña 2022.

This unforgettable afternoon was a celebration of fine wine, expert knowledge and Chilean winemaking at its best.

We will end the year with a lovely Champagne from Louise Brison the A l’Aube de la Côte des Bar 2016

Made by the ambitious winemaker Delphine Brulez. She proudly continuates the family business founded by her grandmother Louise in 1900. Delphine works with great respect for nature and the terroir and does everything in her power to pass on strong, healthy vines to the next generation. Delphine has been working organically since 2012 and in 2020 she received official organic certification for her 15 hectares of vineyards in the Côte des Bar. The soils in this part of the Champagne are much older than further up north and contain - just like the soils in Chablis - a lot of marl and clay.

Delphine uses only pinot noir (70% of the crop) and chardonnay (30% of the crop) for its champagnes. She intervenes as little as possible in the vineyard and lets nature run its course as much as she can in order to create the greatest possible biodiversity in the vineyard. If the soil is full of life, it can give the vines everything they need and they will be less prone to disease, according to Delphine’s philosophy.

Since Delphine only makes vintage champagne, she also wants to reflect this in her labels. Louise Brison’s labels are therefore a timeline marked in gold. The circle in the middle is a combined representation of what happened that year and the characteristics of the wine. An artistic interpretation of the vintage and the wine that is thus different each year. The same design is also showcased on the muselet, adding a distinctive touch to each bottle.

Masseto is one of the world’s finest Merlots, earning admiration since its debut in 1987. Renowned winemaker André Tchelistcheff first identified Masseto’s unique terroir—a 7-hectare hill with blue clay soil—as ideal for Merlot. The name Masseto comes from “masso,” the Italian word for rock, reflecting the soil’s stony character.

The Tyrrhenian Sea, just 10 kilometers away, plays a vital role in Masseto’s terroir. Its reflective sunrays and cooling breezes slow the ripening process, ensuring a perfect balance of tannins and acidity.

Masseto’s vineyards sit on ancient seabeds rich in minerals and fossils. Divided into three plots—Junior, Centrale, and Alto—each contributes distinct qualities. Alto, the highest plot, blends blue clay, sand, and pebbles, while Centrale’s blue pliocene clay gives the wine its signature strength and concentration.

All these components together grant Masseto its unparalleled quality. And in Masseto’s own words: “Above, around, and below; sea. Without it, Masseto would not exist.”

Château Mouton Rothschild 1982🍷

When it comes to iconic wines, this one certainly belongs in that category. The 1982 has long been regarded as one of the best Mouton Rothschilds ever made. In recent years, we’ve occasionally tasted the 1986, which was sometimes rated slightly higher, making us wonder if this legendary wine was slowly being overtaken by the 1986. However, this bottle was flawless: it doesn’t get much better than this. A beautifully mature wine, full of cassis and spice notes. The finish is so long and refined that it stays etched in your memory for quite some time...

Domaine Coche-Dury – Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2014

Ten years after the harvest seemed like a perfect moment to open this wine from Domaine Coche-Dury. The legendary estate of Raphaël Coche probably needs no introduction. So, let’s first talk about the vineyard. Les Genevrières was purchased by Domaine Coche-Dury around the year 2000. Les Genevrières is located south of the premier cru Les Poruzots. The soil mainly consists of clay and limestone.

At Coche-Dury, the maturation process is handled with great precision. The élevage is much longer compared to other wines, and the contact with the lees contributes to the unique character of the estate’s wines. The cooper for all barrels is the renowned François Frères.

Right after opening the wine, its incredible bouquet greets you. A beautifully aged wine with notes of citrus, hazelnut, and butter. The wine has a lovely acidity and is very concentrated with tropical fruit flavors. As the wine opens up further, you notice the stunningly long finish that is still full of energy. An extraordinary wine to start the weekend with.

Line-up:

• Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – La Tâche 1961 Jeroboam
• Château Clos Fourtet 2005 (Magnum)🍷
• Vega Sicilia - Reserva Especial (1991, 1994 & 1998)🍷

We recently hosted an exclusive tasting event with a few of our clients, featuring the highlight of the evening: opening a Jeroboam (3L) of La Tâche 1961. There’s always a sense of anticipation when opening such a rare and historic bottle, wondering if it has successfully stood the test of time. Fortunately, the first aromas assured us that this wine was still in excellent condition.

The bouquet immediately revealed a symphony of red fruit in combination with earthy tones. On the palate, it was a remarkably elegant wine, showcasing complex notes of rosehip, truffle, and spices. The 1961 La Tâche is a beautifully balanced wine, with great acidity and an exceptionally long finish.
Undoubtedly, it was the star of the evening. That said, every wine in the line-up held its own charm, contributing to a truly memorable experience.

Domaine A-F. Gros – Richebourg 1999🍷

The Richebourg 1999 has likely reached its peak drinking window. It remains impressively powerful, offering complex layers of spices, chocolate, and dark fruit. With a superb structure, excellent balance, and remarkable strength, this wine delivers a long, satisfying finish. If you have this bottle in your cellar, it’s time to open it—don’t wait too long….

About Domaine A-F. Gros
Domaine A-F. Gros is a famous estate established in 1988 by Anne-Françoise Gros and François Parent. Specializing in red wines crafted from Pinot Noir, the estate produces a variety of expressions, including Premier and Grand Crus. Though based in Pommard, their vineyards span prestigious appellations like Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Beaune, and Savigny-les-Beaune.

The estate originated from the Domaine Jean Gros in the late 20th century, with Anne-Françoise inheriting a portion. Her brothers, Michel and Bernard, established Domaine Michel Gros and Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur. Additionally, their niece operates Domaine Anne Gros.

After Anne-Françoise’s marriage to François Parent, his share of Domaine Parent was incorporated into Domaine A-F. Gros. François also released wines under his own label with a signature black truffle emblem.

Although the estate is based in Pommard, the various wines are produced in the center of Beaune. François previously oversaw operations, but today their son Mathias manages the vineyards and vinification, while their daughter Caroline leads estate development and marketing. Caroline also produces wines under her personal label, Caroline Parent.

Caroline Morey - Chassagne Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru 2017

Caroline Morey, the eldest daughter of renowned winemaker Jean-Marc Morey, embarked on her own winemaking journey in 2014 after her father’s retirement. She took over part of the family vineyards and established Domaine Caroline Morey. The estate cultivates 7 hectares of vineyards spread across Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, and Beaune, with approximately 60% dedicated to Chardonnay and 40% to Pinot Noir. The first vintage was produced in 2014, and the age of the vines ranges from 10 to 70 years.

The vineyards are cultivated in a traditional and sustainable manner, with a focus on preserving them for future generations.

The white wines are vinified with minimal intervention. Fermentation takes place in 350-liter barrels, 25% of which are new oak. Aging on the lees lasts between 15 and 20 months. The red wines undergo fermentation for 15 to 25 days in barrels with minimal intervention. The wines are bottled unfiltered, sealed with natural cork, and finished with wax to ensure optimal aging in the bottle.

Caroline is married to the acclaimed winemaker Pierre-Yves Colin, and together they share a winery in Chassagne-Montrachet, where some of the finest wines in Burgundy are crafted.

The 2017 vintage comes from plots with vines averaging 60 years old. It took nearly 30 minutes for the wine to fully open up in the glass. The result is an intensely vibrant wine with fresh lemon notes, still remarkably youthful despite its 2017 vintage. It is beautifully balanced with a long, elegant finish.

Hirtzberger Riesling - Singerriedel Smaragd 2023
100/100 points 💫 💫

Today, we received both Magnums and regular bottles of the exquisite Hirtzberger Riesling Singerriedel Smaragd 2023. This exceptional wine has been awarded the maximum score of 100 points by James Suckling!

It is rare for white wines to receive a perfect score of 100 points, but Hirtzberger is one of the most iconic wineries in Austria. In an outstanding vintage like this, this riesling truly stands out. If there’s one wine deserving of this score, it’s this one.

The wine is now available on our website: https://bestofwines.com/wine/austria/wachau/hirtzberger/

Be quick, because once it’s sold out, it’s gone.

Here’s what James Suckling had to say about this wine: 100/100 points

“An incredibly wide aromatic spectrum with all the stone and citrus fruits, plus a slew of white flowers, is married to an overwhelming freshness and vitality that sweep you away. Fabulous concentration, focus, and finesse. The supercool, bright finish echoes almost endlessly. Drink or hold.”

A barrel of Richebourg Grand Cru at the wonderful Domaine A-F. Gros in Beaune 🍇 🍷

Domaine A-F. Gros is a prestigious estate, founded in 1988 by Anne-Françoise Gros and her husband, François Parent. The estate specializes in producing exceptional red wines from Pinot Noir grapes, ranging from Premier to Grand Crus. While the estate is based in Pommard, they also own vineyards in Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Beaune, and Savigny-les-Beaune.

Though the estate’s headquarters are in Pommard, most of their wines are produced in the heart of Beaune. Initially crafted by François, their son Mathias now leads the winemaking and vineyard management. Meanwhile, their daughter Caroline manages estate development, marketing, and releases wines under her own label, Caroline Parent.

Mathias is part of a new generation of winemakers, focusing on organic practices with minimal intervention. Domaine A-F. Gros wines are crafted using short, cold maceration techniques, and Mathias employs “whole bunch” fermentation more frequently, using fewer new oak barrels. All of Anne-Françoise Gros’s wines feature a distinctive label with a beautiful female figure, symbolizing the vineyard’s terroir. The wines are characterized by dark red fruit notes and a reflection of the unique qualities of each terroir.

The estate’s main vineyards include Richebourg Grand Cru (0.60 hectares), Echézeaux Grand Cru (0.29 hectares), Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne-Romanée “Aux Réas” (1.63 hectares).

If you find yourself near Pommard, a visit to Jefferson’s Club is a must. This charming wine bar, owned by the Gros family, features a lovely terrace and is conveniently located near their headquarters. Enjoy their wines by the glass, and be sure to check the opening hours before visiting.
