"Very pure and precise, this has great elegance on the medium-bodied palate. Still tightly wound, but the intensity and refined chalky minerality in the tense, superlong finish are stunning. With aeration, a wonderfully subtle aroma of orange blossoms emerges. From a 0.25 hectare vineyard planted in the 1970's. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drinkable now but best from 2026."

In which case, the Monts Luisants will be filtered for security. Pure and clean colour, with a particularly complex bouquet, some lime blossom, some greengage, and some earthier notes. White fruit on the palate, with a crisp mineral thread, liverly at the finish, indeed a superb finish. I would keep it like this, so let's hope the Malo does not happen. Fuller bodied than the excellent 2021, but just as good." * Jasper Morris, Inside Bordeaux - Tasted: Nov. 2023

The bouquet is really fine, speaking more of the terroir than its grape (100% Aligote). Crystalline purity yet with a little flesh behind. Becomes sharper on the palate but a question of youth. Will develop some greengage character later. Really very smartly made. This will be a great success." * Jasper Morris, Inside Bordeaux - Tasted: Nov. 2022

Each facet combines to provide a harmonic balance of freshness and energy. Deep impactful color and floral on the nose, elegant black fruit, smoke and wet stone are delicately woven alongside a sophisticated acidity across the palate. The density of fruit provides generous weight that leads to balanced tannin and a distinguished, vibrant finish." * Winery Notes

In a vintage characterized by significant heat and drought, Tenuta San Guido has once again proven why this estate is in a league of its own. This is a triumph of terroir and timing, delivering a wine of aristocratic elegance and surprising freshness that defies the season. While many 2022's from Bolgheri are opulent and broad, Sassicaia remains steadfastly classic. The estate's decisions to harvest early to preserve acidity has paid off distinctively. The nose is deep and introspective, offering a sophisticated blend of creme de cassis, wild blackberry, and dark plum, lifted by signature notes of Mediterranean herbs, cedar, graphite, and a touch of fresh mint. It possesses a dense core of fruit, yet it feels weightless and energetic, driven by a vibrant spine of acidity. The tannins are incredibly fine-grained and polished, providing a seamless structure that guides the wine to an exceptionally long, savory finish." * Orazio Campoli - Tasted: Dec. 2025

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2037 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 96 JS Region: Givry ABV: 13 - 14.5% "This is all dried flowers and spices, making it a unique expression of the Cote Chalonnaise. Made for the ages, but relatively accessible already. Enormously concentrated, but still light on its feet. You really feel that this must have come from a very stony site; those wines can be austere, but this is not. Very limited production. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold." * James Suckling

The palate is full-bodied with mouthwatering, melting tannins, bright acidity, a luscious, mineral-edged finish and a savory, earthy undertone. Delicious, with plenty of aging potential.

The palate is firmly structured with an impactful mouthfeel and an earth-driven finish. A bold wine that will benefit from aging, yet there’s plenty to like now.

"One of the most refinded and seamless wines of the vintage is the 2025 Palmer, a blend of 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot that wafts from the glasswith aromas of sweet blackberries, plums and licorice complemented by floral accents of violet and wisteria. Full-bodied, suave and layered, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit, brightacid and supple tannins, it's already harmonious and complete, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. At only 13,5% alcohol, this is quite a bit lower than most recent sunny vintages of Palmer."* William Kelly, Wine Advocate -

The palate is full-bodied with a luscious, rounded mouthfeel, fine tannins and bright acidity. The cured meat, graphite and mineral-edged finish adds another dimension. Nicely done.

The palate is full-bodied with silken, almost melting tannins and a texture that’s seamlessly integrated, supported by refined, mouthwatering acidity. This is in complete harmony and very well made from an exceptional vintage and an exceptional vineyard. Drink or hold." * James Suckling - Tasted Dec. 2025
