The Costanti family has owned this 10-hectare estate in Montalcino for over 200 years. In the latter part of the 19th century, Count Tito Costanti [1827-1895], Clementi Santi and Ferruccio Biondi Santi were pioneers in Montalcino.
90/100 William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "Exhibiting aromas of sweet red berries, peonies, forest floor and blood orange, Bouley's 2017 Pommard Village is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a perfumed core of fruit, powdery tannins and a chalky finish.
96 points Susan Hulme MW TWI “The 2017 Biondi Santi Brunello has a lightly fragrant oak nose with notes of cream and vanilla and cherry. The weight is beautifully ethereal with a little of that weightless quality that you find in very fine wines.
The2019 vintage started early and ended later than normal. Spring saw good levels of rainfall which helped maintain water storage levels ready for the warmer months. Summer was one of the hottest on record in Montalcino area. August was marked by cooler temperatures and some rain that replenished water reserves.

Considering the continued warm and dry temperatures that Montalcino has witnessed in the last years, 2018 is a vintage characterized by freshness and finesse with bright fruit,
medium body, and excellent acidity.
Bruno Desaunay's style is classic, rich and fuller in style as this is very much declassified Vosne Romanee.

Incredible value Burgundy from one of the most talented winemakers in Burgundy - the ever talented Claire Naudin. Gorgeous to drink now. The red is perfect with white meat, ham and chicken. A great opportunity to try!
