Biodynamic Wine

Fresh and floral nose with tiles vibrant red berries and pomegranate. Stony mineral verve. Pure and expressive with good tension on the medium-bodied palate. Silky very nimble and elegant. Acidic red berries in the finish that... Read More

There was great precision and purity in the 2018 Sin Azufre the no-sulfur-added cuvée. This is the wine they do with intuition rather than science. They pick the grapes a little earlier to have better natural acidity. They do... Read More

Extremely perfumed with rose-petal violet rose-stem and sweet-strawberry aromas that follow through to a full-bodied palate with tight juicy tannins that are strong and intense. A very structured young top pinot from here. Needs... Read More

A blend of (organic and biodynamic) Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and Sangiovese the 2019 Sammarco is more austere and even robust compared to the punchier style prized throughout this portfolio. This is a firmly grounded wine with... Read More

This is a classic beauty. The 2019 d'Alceo made with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot is dark and enriched but magically it is never heavy or bulky. It carries its weight with feather-like grace backed by dry tannins... Read More

I retasted the 2021 Clos Erasmus to compare it with the 2022 and 2023. The three vintages are very different. This 2021 has an ethereal character and comes through as a cool-climate wine; it doesn't have the same weight as... Read More

The 2019 Laurel is quite closed and shows serious and shy. It's made with all the grapes that are not used for Clos Erasmus—young vines the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon (no more than 5%) mostly Garnacha and some 15% Syrah.... Read More

The 2021 Laurel the second wine from Clos Erasmus was produced with grapes from younger vines between five and 40 years old and is a blend of 80% Garnacha 11% Syrah and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were cooled down for 24... Read More

The 2022 Laurel has the grapes from the younger vines but still not the ones from Manyetes that will contribute to this wine in 2023 for the first time. This is quite aromatic young tender and peachy attractive. She finds this... Read More

The nose and palate of the 2022 El Tamboril Tinto are really tight; it's a wine that needs more time (they reckon the 2016 is the one drinking well in 2024). It has a lot of energy and still has some creaminess and spiciness... Read More

A slightly riper nose combines notes of just sliced pear and apple along with background nuances of floral and zest trimmed in mildly more wood influence. The rich delicious and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess... Read More

A fresh, ripe and subtly complex nose combines notes of just crushed red currant and plum that is laced with discreet earth wisps. The rich, delicious and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in a mildly austere... Read More

This wine is always a fantastic entry-point, not only to the Leflaive range, but also to white Burgundy in general. It's not the cheapest, but as far as Bourgogne Blanc goes, it's one of the best. This has a delightful... Read More

A lean, racy version, this white sports lime blossom, citronella, vanilla and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Sleek and focused, echoing vanilla and oak spice on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 341 cases made, 62 cases imported.... Read More

A very pretty nose freely reveals its aromas of apple pear and lemon rind. The succulent delicious and appealingly vibrant middleweight flavors possess a relatively refined texture while displaying fine depth and length for a... Read More

There's fine concentration to this white lending viscosity to the texture and embracing flavors of peach white flowers and honeydew melon. Light baking spice and pastry notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 127... Read More

The 2023 Táganan Blanco didn't go through malolactic and matured in larger barrels (they are abandoning the 228-liter oak barrels) and the wine seems to have gained in freshness. It's also less reductive—volcanic yes... Read More

This wine marks its own set of milestones. The 1997 Flaccianello della Pieve is one of my favorite bottles in this retrospective. This bottle is just singing at the moment and shows no sign of lowering its voice. Come listen while... Read More

The 2007 Flaccianello della Pieve is showing signs of decline and I have shortened the suggested drinking window here as a result. In fact I have recently had the opportunity to taste this vintage in other contexts and I came... Read More
