This ancient vineyard, once owned by the Emperor Charlemagne, produces a powerful, rich and mineral wine with intense flavour of fruits and flowers, and aromas of pepper, honey, vanilla and cinammon. According to legend, the vineyard was originally planted with red varietals but Charlemagne’s wife - said to be displeased with red wine dripping on the Emperor’s white beard - ordered that a section of the hill be pulled up and replanted with white grape varieties. Today Corton-Charlemagne is 100% Chardonnay. The wine is thought to take slightly longer to mature than Montrachet, so older vintages are often preferable for this Grand Cru.

“After World War II, long before it became fashionable to focus on local, near-extinct varieties, the Mastroberardino family made a commitment to fiano di Avellino and greco di Tufo, both of which have become flagships of their estate in the hills of Campania. There are now many fianos, but when Mastroberardino released its first commercial Radici bottling in 1984, it was startling for its purity and floral energy. This is one of the first vintages I’ve tasted since then that shared the same energy, like a bee buzzing in the mouth. It tastes like a wine of ancient Rome with its fruit-skin power, and a completely modern wine in its delicate, crisp-apple freshness.”

Spain’s most famous appellation, La Rioja wines are made from Tempranillo, Garnacha and sometimes Graciano. Of these, Tempranillo is most prevalent, imbuing the wines with complex and concentrated fruit flavours. La Rioja wines follow a strict aging regimen: Crianza wines must be aged for one year in oak followed by maturation for one year in bottle before being released. Reservas must undergo a minimum of three years’ ageing, at least one of which should be in oak casks. Gran Reservas, which are only produced in the finest vintages, must spend at least five years maturing, of which at least two must be in oak. In practice, top producers like CVNE and especially La Rioja Alta frequently exceed these requirements.
