Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 2020
Domaine Ramonet
Ramonet is justly famous for whites, but this village-level rouge shows why Chassagne-Montrachet's reds deserve more respect. The Pinot Noir here is lifted and precise, with the terroir's limestone soils contributing a mineral backbone that gives the wine tension and purpose. A quiet revelation.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Fresh cherry and raspberry dominate, underlined by a subtle violet note and a hint of crushed stone. There's a whisper of toasted oak that never overwhelms the fruit.
Palate
Light to medium-bodied with a silky texture and surprising depth. Cherry continues on the palate, joined by a savory, earthy minerality and a faint green herbal note. The tannins are fine-grained and well-integrated.
Finish
Medium-length with cherry, a touch of cedar, and a clean mineral close.

Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne 2022
Vietti
Vietti's Tre Vigne Barbera shows how minimal oak aging can shape a wine without redefining it. The fruit remains front and center, with wood providing structure rather than flavor. For a daily-drinking red from a top Piedmont producer, it delivers remarkable clarity and balance.
Benanti Etna Rosso DOC 2021
Benanti
Benanti pioneered the modern Etna wine movement in the 1980s, and their entry-level Rosso remains a benchmark for the appellation. Nerello Mascalese grown on volcanic slopes delivers transparency, tension, and a sense of place that few wines at this price can match. A vivid expression of heat stored in stone.
Marchesi di Gresy Barbaresco Martinenga DOCG 2020
Marchesi di Gresy
Marchesi di Gresy's Martinenga vineyard is one of the historic crus of Barbaresco, and this 2020 shows the site's characteristic combination of elegance and structure. The tannins are fine-grained and the fruit pristine. A wine that rewards careful attention and moderate cellaring.
Domaine du Cayron Gigondas 2021
Domaine du Cayron
Domaine du Cayron makes Gigondas the way it's been made for generations — old vines, traditional winemaking, no fuss. The 2021 is expressive and balanced, with the kind of depth that comes from age-worthy Grenache on limestone soil. Outstanding value for Southern Rhône lovers.
