Disgorged in September 2017 and released in spring 2018, the 2012 Brut Millésime is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, half of which underwent malolactic fermentation. This cuvée opens with a fine, pure and smoky bouquet. Delicate but firm and very mineral on the palate, this is a highly refined and finessed Champagne with lush and aromatic yet graceful cherry fruit. It is pure and elegant on the finish, though it is still young. This is the first release, and 400 bottles will be kept in the library for a later disgorgement.

Didier Defaix describes 2017 as a vintage "where the frost did the same amount of damage that it did in 2016 but not necessarily in the same parcels. One of the really curious aspects of the two vintages is that we had more bunches in 2017 but not necessarily more juice. On the plus side, at least we didn't have the intense mildew pressure that we suffered through in 2016, which made the summer a lot less stressful. We chose to begin picking on the 11th of September and brought in ripe fruit that had both good sugars and acidities. The fruit was exceptionally clean which also helped us in terms of being able to pick rapidly. Another interesting aspect is that the alcoholic fermentations were quite slow yet the malos were relatively quick. As to the wines, despite the relatively early harvest date there is plenty of classic Chablis character. While the 2017s are not as austere and crystalline as the 2014s or as rich as the 2016s, the combination of the two makes for highly enjoyable wines that should drink well young but age well too." The now in-bottle 2016s, revisited below, were bottled in September 2017.

Here's a fresh and lovely red wine from Southern Tuscany. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino offers a very bright and lively quality of fruit that you don't often get with Brunello, a wine that ages for five years (between oak barrel and in the bottle) before its commercial release. You taste the cherry and the dried raspberry here in all their purity and glory. The wine continues to the palate with softness and silky lines. Some 45,000 bottles were produced.

A wealth of raspberry and black cherry aromas with hints of flowers and walnut skin. Full body, chewy and tannic with a pretty underlining of fruit. Slightly ripe style yet remains fresh. Drink or hold.

Medium-dark red; this is actually lighter in color than the 2016 Rosso from Tenuta di Sesta. Strong notes of tobacco, wet underbrush and botanical herbs camouflage red fruit and balsamic aromas. Enters bright and juicy, then more austere and steely, revealing a slightly bitter twist to the floral red berry flavors. This very graceful wine finishes long and vibrant, but I would have liked a little more generosity of fruit. Cellar this for five or six years and see if it fills out.

Aromas of dark berry, pipe tobacco and leather take shape in the glass. The savory, balanced palate offers juicy Morello cherry, strawberry and star anise alongside taut, polished tannins. Drink 2022–2028.

Mid ruby with bright orange tinges. Serious oatmeal nose that otherwise is still closed on the fruit. Ripe, gentle and mouth-filling fruit hitting the popular note. Long, and a little gripping and with oak and smoky notes on the finish. (WS)

Very intense and focused aromas of crushed ripe strawberries and walnuts. Hints of sweet tobacco. Full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Very structured. Drink or hold. Better in 2021.

The 2014 Barolo Arborina is a very pleasant, attractive Barolo. In 2014, the Arborina has good bit of midpalate pliancy that softens some of the typically coarse Arborina tannins. Black cherry and plum fruit are nicely pushed forward in this attractive, medium-bodied Barolo. Sweet tobacco, menthol, leather and dark spice all develop in the glass, but it is really the wine's harmony that impresses most. All the elements are in the right place. The 2014 is a small-scale, somewhat hushed Arborina, but its balance is impeccable. Drink it over the next decade or so.

Rich black cherry fruit which offers much better flavour balance than their Giachini. Wonderfully savoury granitic sort of complexity to the palate, plus sweetly spiced oak that emerges on the length. Expansive and mouth-watering. (RH)

The pale lemon colored 2016 Petit Guiraud sings of preserved lemons, pink grapefruit and marzipan with touches of allspice, chalk dust and acacia honey. The palate is quite mineral and savory in character with a lively line carrying off the long, chalky finish.

Wine Spectator 89
Bright and racy in feel, featuring pineapple and yellow apple fruit laced with honeysuckle notes. The frankly sweet finish has enough freshness for balance. Drink now through 2028. 6,667 cases made. — JM

A lighter style of Sauternes with this second wine of the revered Guiraud. Medium-bodied and lightly sweet with dried-apple, apricot and pineapple character. Fresh finish. Drink now.

There are 500 cases of the full-bodied 2016 Les Orris, a blend of Grenache (60%), Mourvèdre (30%), Carignan (5%) and Syrah (5%). It marries black cherries with hints of garrigue and chocolate on the nose, boasts a rich, velvety texture in the mouth, then firms up on the long, lively finish.
