Compared to Brovia’s Ca’ Mia (which is all dark power)

this is an easygoing yet well-made Pinot that pairs effortlessly with roast chicken

The only Cabernet Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo produced in drought-stricken 2020

Edmond Vatan, Sancerre Clos La Neore, 2021 (1.5L) so082525 burgundy sale Compared to Brovia’s Ca’ MiaThere are great Sancerres, and then theres Clos La Nore.

From a single parcel on the Monts Damns slope, this is Sauvignon Blanc stripped down to its most precise, mineral, and expressive form. The 2021 is classic Nore: citrus peel, crushed stone, and a kind of tensile energy that feels more like Chablis Grand Cru
