Red Wines

The radiance of youth colors the wines of Gevrey with a lively ruby ​​which takes on a dark carmine hue with age. The spontaneous aromas of young Gevrey wines are strawberry, blackberry, violet, reseda and rose, while maturity gives them a liquorice bouquet with hints of game and undergrowth. Whole and powerful, rich, full-bodied, a body and a spirit, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation...

The 2018 Barolo Francia is powerful, deep and also a touch austere. It shows the edginess of all the 2018s, but also has a feeling of textural creaminess that adds tons of character. Spice, menthol, leather and a whole range of balsamic overtones build into the deep, imposing finish. 

The 2018 Barolo Cerretta is a very pretty wine. Sweet, perfumed aromatics and beams of nervous tannin give the 2018 its focused personality. There is good energy and vibrancy here, if not quite the mid-palate pliancy that is typical. The 2018 is shaping up to be a decidedly understated Cerretta.
