The new generation at Faiveley has taken some of the tannic edges off the estate’s outsized Clos des Cortons, making this powerfully built, long-lived Burgundy more palatable in its youth. This vertical back to 1986 provided a unique opportunity to follow the arc of Faiveley’s flagship wine over four decades.

2018 Bonny Doon Vineyard Vin Gris de Cigare, 91 points
Lithe and intensely perfumed, this graceful California Rosé exhibits racy red berry and citrus fruit character, while showing surprising power given its light weight feel. Floral and mineral notes add complexity and drive a very long, sharply delineated finish. (JR)

1921 Marc Brédif Vouvray Moelleux
Neal Martin, March 2019
You might well assume that last week’s 1990 Moelleux Goutte d’Or from Foreau constitutes the best Vouvray that I have ever drunk. There are a couple of challengers, Marc Brédif’s 1921 Vouvray Moelleux being one of them, albeit much older.
