1 BOTTLE OF RIPASSO VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPIERIORE DOC, 2017, CESCHI DI CESCHI, VENETO, ITALY
Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, showcasing the traditional ripasso technique—where Valpolicella wine is refermented on the lees of Amarone grapes. This process enriches the wine with added complexity and body. Aged in large Slavonian oak barrels followed by time in bottle, the result is a wine of expressive depth. Aromas of wild cherry, dried plum, and rose petals unfold alongside subtle notes of leather, dark chocolate, and baking spice. The palate is plush and structured, with vibrant acidity weaving through layers of macerated berries and earthy undertones, culminating in a persistent, savory finish. Pair with mushroom risotto, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Ceschi di Ceschi, based in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, is a family-run winery dedicated to producing artisanal wines that honor tradition while expressing the soul of their native vineyards.
1 BOTTLE OF LE CLOS DES MÉS, 2022, CHÂTEAU L'INDÉCISE, BORDEAUX, FRANCE
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. It opens with a layered aroma of wild red cherry, juicy plum skin, and crushed violets, underpinned by warm cedar spice and a gentle waft of forest floor. On the palate, it shows supple attack, sliding into mid-weight fruit framed by polished tannins and lively acidity; hints of dark currant, baking spice and a faint graphite note emerge as the finish lingers with a berry echo. Though the exact aging details aren’t widely published, the wine exhibits the texture characteristic of moderate oak and time in barrel to soften structure. It is a lovely companion to roast lamb, beef stews, or charcuterie and aged cheeses. Château L'Indécise, under Marie and Sacha Sokoloff, farms organically, works with biodiversity in the vineyard, and produces wines with both character and elegance—Le Clos des Més is testament to their commitment to terroir, precision and authenticity.
