Bottled at 46% ABV

Château de Ravignan follows a conservative philosophy: they release vintages only after a minimum of 10-12 years in French oak

with a delicately integrated peatiness

and finished Extra Brut so there's almost no sugar to hide behind

The benchmark crème de cassis

Domaine Delarche Pernand-Vergelesses Les Boutieres 2022 NET Bottled at 46% ABVGuillaume Delarche sources only from 70 year old Pinot Noir vines for this over performing village wine, which sits just below Premier Cru vineyard status. The deeper soils yield a richer, more savory expression of black fruit than you'd typically expect at this level. Aromas of black cherry, licorice, and earth lead to a supple palate with fine tannins and a gently spiced finish. This is elegant, mature Burgundy that drinks beautifully now.
