Champagne Barons de Rothschild 2019 Le Grand Clos: All for one

2 days ago | worldoffinewine.com | Joanna Simon

“You would literally be the first person in the world to taste this wine outside of the members of the Rothschild family and the internal team.” How could anyone resist an invitation to dinner that included those words? Reader, I didn’t.
2020 Brunello di Montalcino: Mixed results

3 days ago | worldoffinewine.com | Andrew Jefford

After the qualitative highs of 2019, the 2020 Brunello di Monalcino vintage is a significant step down, says Andrew Jefford. There’s one irrefutable conclusion that we can draw from the 2020 vintage in Brunello di Montalcino. Perhaps it’s obvious; perhaps it’s even a platitude.
From the vaults: Minerality-metaphor and myth

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | David Schildknecht

In a piece first published inWFW57 in September 2017, David Schildknecht traces the rise of minerality in wine writing and discussion, and asks if it is anything more than an “empty buzzword.”Like many concepts beloved of wine writers, winemakers, and wine marketers, the emergence of “minerality,” however recent, seems already to be lost in the mists of time.
At the table: Verjuice and lamb shanks

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Joanna Simon

It may sound odd but one of Australia’s culinary gifts to the contemporary world is verjuice, the acidulant made from unripe, unfermented grapes. Or, to be precise, it’s the gift of Australian food personality Maggie Beer—food producer, cookbook author, TV food series co-host, former chef, restaurateur, and grape grower, and AO (officer of the Order of Australia) among other honors.
Taylor’s Victory 80-Year-Old Tawny and 1975 Single Harvest Port: Amat victoria curam

1 week ago | worldoffinewine.com | Simon MW

Simon Field MW reviews Taylor’s Victory 80-Year-Old Tawny and 1975 Single Harvest Port. Founded in 1692, conspicuously anglophone, and led by Adrian Bridge with engaging vigor, Taylor’s has long been active in fostering the luxury end of the market for its finest Ports. Scarcity of the Vintage category has led to renewed focus on the Tawny colheita style, the newly released single-harvest bottling from 1975 being the eighth in the series; 1964 was the first.
Timorasso time

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Jim Clarke

Jim Clarke travels to the Colli Tortonesi region of Piedmont, where he finds a resurgence of the local grape variety, Timorasso, is attracting interest and investment from the more famous producers of the Langhe. Piedmont, to fine wine drinkers, usually means the Langhe—that hilly region south of the town of Alba. It is red wine country, at least when it comes to fine wines, the land of Barolo and Barbaresco.

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Simon MW

Simon Field MW joins chef de cave Elysé Brigandat to taste the latest single-site releases from Olivier Leflaive’s Champagne project, Valentin Leflaive. Elysé Brigandat, chef de cave at Champagne Valentin Leflaive, is a Champenois through and through. Or is he?

Rediscovering wine from whole fruit

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Andrew Jefford

Andrew Jefford tastes 2022 Prince Alexandre Chavchavadze Tsinandali Estate Kakhetian Blend Qvevri. Why do we do it? Why do we rip white grape juice away from the protective skin in which it comes into being? What leads us to carry out this act of separation? It is, like the sieving and milling of flour or the polishing of rice, a refinement. We’ve come to consider the skins of white grapes mere husks.
Ca’Marcanda: Angelo Gaja’s favorite child

2 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Joanna Simon

Joanna Simon joins two generations of the Gaja family at Alba restaurant in London for the launch of the latest releases from Ca’Marcanda. Angelo Gaja is 85 and still working. Why wouldn’t he be? He looks enviably young for his years, the famous energy and optimism seem undiminished, and he has been working in, and expanding, the Barbaresco-based family business for well over six decades. That’s a lot of accumulated experience and expertise.
Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes: Going up in the world

3 weeks ago | worldoffinewine.com | Sarah Marsh MW

With climate change making the area increasingly attractive for Côte d’Or growers, but with wine prices still keen, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes has never been more popular. These days, nobody scoffs at wine from Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes. On the contrary, over the past decade or so, its popularity and profile have risen higher than anyone could have foreseen, albeit that many astute producers in the Côte d’Or took a punt and bought land there when it was dirt-cheap in the 1990s.
