Swartland Chenin blanc needs no introduction, having long assumed its place among the world’s key expressions of the grape variety. Langkloof, where we source our grapes for this wine, is an old bush vine Chenin blanc vineyard planted on the granite slopes of the Paardeberg that belongs to the Roussouw family.

Wine Safari Score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: After the block buster 2021 Monk Stone Chenin Blanc, the new release 2022 from Stark Conde will certainly draw a lot of attention.

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*   88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.

BRUT - GRAND CRU.... For those who love elegant fine chiselled champagne the Obsidienne is a revelation.

90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Monthelie Les Champs Fulliots ler Cru comes from purchased fruit, although the Domaine controls the harvest, matured in less than 30% new oak. Pretty, pastille-like red and blueberry fruit on the nose, this is well-defined and comely.

Claire Naudin's perfect Echezeaux is an embodiment of fine fruit and finesse that is seldom seen in this appellation. Power is not evident in this super bottling, it is replaced by finesse and a ballerina-like aroma of charm and cherries.

Wine Safari score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: I approached this new wine with a little trepidation as I know all too well from previous experience that Ian Naude’s wines always need a few years in bottle to settle in and really start to fan their peacock tail.

Wine Safari Score: 90-92/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Classical nose of earthy savoury bramble berry fruits, Asian spices, liquorice and black berry.

Wine Safari Score: 92-94+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A fabulous 2.12-hectare single Monopole site that yields 40 barrels in a good vintage like 2022.

90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. An admirably discreet dollop of wood is present on the spicier broad-ranging nose of red and black pinot fruit, plum and exotic tea scents.

POA     Wine Safari Score: 95-97/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A newly inherited 0.41-hectare plot yielding 6 barrels of one of the most coveted and treasured Pinot Noirs crus in Burgundy.

91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaliots comes from a single plot below Les Poirets. It opens with crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit, dried violets and touches of incense. It just needs a little more delineation.
