2022 Aurore de Dauzac, Margaux
Winery Notes- The 2022 vintage will be remembered by all. The particularly mild winter led to a very early budburst. Frosts were avoided during the cool nights of April. Once again, the Gironde estuary served as a protector for Château Dauzac’s vineyard. Flowering began around May 15th in ideal weather conditions, but the end of flowering was marked by violent storms. Fortunately, the vineyard was spared from hail. This last rainy episode then gave way to a very hot and dry summer. The drought was the most concerning element of this vintage. Herbal teas applied regularly to the vines helped them to strengthen their resistance and cope with this climate. August only rain helped the vines to complete their veraison. The harvest took place under exceptional weather conditions from September 5th to 26th. The overall yield was small due to the lack of water but the remarkable quality will make the 2022 vintage one of the greatest ever known in Bordeaux. The nose is floral with notes of fresh red fruits. The tannins are present but silky and offer a nice length.$25.9017 -

2022 Hahn SLH Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

2019 Dom Jean-Claude Marsanne Saint-Joseph Rouge
In a 1998 newsletter, Kermit praised Saint-Joseph’s accessible charm: “It seems miraculous, a big, juicy, fleshy, flavorful Syrah that you don’t have to wait on, that you should not wait on.” Marsanne’s 2019 would be KL’s cup of tea, the kind of Saint-Jo to dig into right away: smoky, layered, lush, and laced with violet, bay leaf, and black olive. At table, its fine tannin and granite core marry well with indulgent snacks like duck pâté, or alongside pan-seared mains like garlicky lamb chops or steak au poivre. Though you needn’t wait to open, once you have, it would be foolish not to take your time with this one.$29.909 -
