Dog Point is responsible for some of Marlborough's best Pinot noir. This release has lifted aromas of dark cherries stone fruit and violets. The palate is rich and complex with a supple velvety texture.

Sandro Mosele's Kooyong Massale Pinot Noir has gamey, wild berry and forest floor aromas offer richness and complexity on the nose. Sappy, sour cherry flavours with well judged oak are framed by silky tannins and bright acidity. Outstanding!

As often happens with Calvert, the nose when young is slightly muted and more direct than exotic; pure and fine aromas, not bold and lush. The palate follows on accordingly, with clarity of fruit, roses and florals. Focussed, concentrated yet pure in the mid-palate, with its hallmark mineral texture, its firm but ultimately juicy on the finish. The vines are growing up and were seeing the puppy-fat turn to muscle.

This 20ha vineyard was planted on red clay loam soil at Woori Yallock in 2001 by Lou Primavera, with whom Giant Steps has a long-standing grape-supply relationship. Pinot Noir (114, MV6 and G8V3 clones) grown here on the north and north east facing slopes at 230m is noted for its complex structure and pronounced perfume. The 114 and MV6 are fermented as whole bunches in open vats, while the G8V3 is destemmed, given a long cold-soak and fermented separately to enhance its aromatic contribution. All ferments use indigenous yeasts and the whole-bunch components are periodically foot-stomped to release additional juice. The wines are pressed to 228 litre, French barriques (about 8% new) for 11 months before blending and bottling without fining or filtration.

Dark cherry with a crimson hue. Dark aromatics with notes of ripe cherry, sage, dried bark and thyme emerging. Wonderful integration of ripe red fruits and velvety tannins across the palate. It has great density yet carries a very elegant feel as it flows towards the savoury dry finish. The Te Muna Road Vineyard is located some 7 kilometres outside of the Martinborough township. The vineyard consists of two distinct terraces, the higher comprising very old, stony clay infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir and the lower terrace of younger stony soils interleaved with limestone providing an excellent environment for Sauvignon Blanc. Craggy Range produces a collection of iconic wines from multiple regions in New Zealand. Owner Terry Peabody and his family pursued the single vineyard approach to winemaking, planting on green fields and bare land ensuring a focus on quality from the very beginning. New Zealand, with its diversity of soils types offered the perfect location to plant the vines. From the stony, warm soils of the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay to the volcanic, clay soils of Te Muna Road in Martinborough these exceptional vineyards produce wines with amazing aromatics, purity and complexity. The wines, produced for the Prestige and Family Collections are pure expressions of the unique terroir in which they were grown.

The Collottes have been grape growers in Marsannay for four generations, but it wasn’t until 1981 that a young, 16 year-old Philippe Collotte bottled the first wine under the name of Domaine Collotte. He subsequently purchased some mature vineyards of about 40 years of age in both Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, to further expand the domaine’s repertoire. Just a few barrels of this single vineyard bottled on its own from vines planted in 1955 located high up above the village on the combe in Les Evocelles (part of which is classified as premier cru). The wine shows excellent lift and finesse and freshness to the aromas. The palate is very expressive already with fine structure and silky fine tannins. A very fine addition to the range.

Product Description: Chassagne’s red side—light-handed, expressive, and quietly complex. Joseph Colin’s 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge is a study in subtlety and site. Sourced from two high-altitude parcels—Les Pierres and La Poirier du Clos—this is Pinot Noir planted in the late 1960s, grown on clay-limestone soils and farmed organically. The fruit is treated with minimal intervention: whole bunch pressed, no bâtonnage or fining, and only a whisper of sulphur at bottling. The wine opens with vivid wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry, backed by gentle dried herbs and tobacco leaf. Juicy, lifted and layered, it’s a style that sits comfortably in the Bourgogne rouge tradition, but with the detail and texture of Chassagne’s best lighter reds. Fermentation in 350-litre barrels and time in stainless before bottling lends polish without weight. Drink from now to 2027+ with a short decant. Roast lamb, mushroom dishes, or tomato-based pasta will meet it on the right terms. Tasting Notes NOSE – Wild and savoury Strawberry, raspberry, cherry with hints of dried herb and tobacco. PALATE – Juicy and lifted Red fruits, bright acidity and polished, smoky tannins. FINISH – Earthy and fine Gentle grip with lingering herbal and mineral tones. Reviews & Accolades “Juicy, enough fruit to cover the rougher edges of red Chassagne, very nicely made.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89–91 Points

Product Description: Volnay’s crown jewel—classical, poised, and profoundly long-lived. The 2020 Clos des Ducs 1er Cru from Domaine Marquis d’Angerville is the domaine’s grand vin in every sense. Sourced from a 2.15-hectare monopole at the top of Volnay's limestone-rich slope, this wine is often spoken of as a Grand Cru in all but name. In 2020—a vintage Guillaume d’Angerville considers his best since taking the reins in 2003—the Clos des Ducs delivers extraordinary structure and precision, even as it carries the warmth of the year with effortless finesse. Perfumed and supremely detailed, this wine opens with wild strawberry, incense, rose petal and forest floor. The palate is compact, mineral-charged and impeccably balanced, with fine tannins that promise decades of graceful evolution. The 1.5L magnum format only adds to its cellaring potential. Drink 2030–2060. Clos des Ducs is at home with the finest dishes: truffle-scented pigeon, venison loin, or simply enjoyed in quiet reverence. Tasting Notes NOSE – Perfumed and complex Red berries, rose petal, incense, sous bois and orange rind. PALATE – Detailed and poised Layered and pure, with a fine acid thread and silky tannins over a chalky core. FINISH – Lingering and graceful Long, saline finish with floral lift and spice that carries for minutes. Reviews & Accolades "An exuberantly floral nose... sappy and muscular big-bodied mouth coating flavours brim with minerality... explosively long and balanced finish... a clear candidate for the best Côte de Beaune red in the 2020 vintage." – Burghound, Don't Miss, 94–97 Points Finer Details: Style - Red Wine Varietal - Pinot Noir Country - France Region - Burgundy Vintage - 2020 Bottle Size - 1.5L ABV - 13.5% Closure - Cork
