In the vineyard: Lodolaio comes from pure Sangiovese grapes obtained from the reproduction through mass selection of vines of very ancient origin, in a soil composed mainly of marl and alberese. The year 2016 was characterized by constant heat, without excessive peaks, which helped the ripening of the grapes.
As summer rolls on, we had a bottle of this on Sunday and it's drinking sensationally. Treat yourself to a 6 pack or two. Stock available to be delivered this weekend.
Complex and, therefore, intriguing...
TO THE EYE: The Brut Réserve boasts a deep golden hue. Delicate, vivacious and long-lasting bubbles are the result of a long, slow maturing process in chalk cellars.

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

*Prices in Bond* This cuvee spends 12 months in oak and then three and a half months on its fine lees in tank. The aromatics show a dusty limestone minerality with pithy green pear, hints of buttered white toast and yellow grapefruit confit.
Wine Safari Score: 91-92+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Made from a blend of three separate plots, this Nuits is deep, dark and broody, a very serious offering with layers of savoury black fruits and a smoky graphite minerality.
Bruno Desaunay's style is classic, rich and fuller in style as this is very much declassified Vosne Romanee.

Le Clos is a gently sloping single parcel that faces east. It is located between the house of Domaine Ferret and the village church.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 Points Jasper Morris inside Burgundy. Mid red crimson, the nose is altogether more rustic, being served after the Ile de Vergelesses. Rugby man shoulders to this but the tannins are not ugly and the wine finishes well.
*All prices in bond* 89-91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. A lighter purple colour with quite a refined floral pinot nose. This upper hillside vineyard stays fresh yet has added weight with global warming. The fresh limestone feel is well supported by red fruit, with attractive persistence.
*DUTY PAID* Score: 88-90 points, Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy and 89 - 91 Points, Neal Martin for Vinous.
