2020
Château Belle-Brise, Pomerol 2020 (Magnum 1.5L)
Bordeaux Pomerol wines are rich, decadent reds, with notes of chocolate, dark cherry, plums and spice, soft tannins and elegance courtesy of the Merlot grape.
The most lush—and expensive—wines come from a plateau of clay, gravel and iron, while lighter, more acidic wines come from the region's sandy soils.
Situated on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Pomerol is dominated by small estates that command premium prices.
Approximately 80 percent of the region's plantings are Merlot, unlike other regions of Bordeaux where no one grape dominates so singularly; and one disadvantage is that bad weather can wreak havoc on an individual vintage.

Domaine Albert Mann Outrevin 2020
2020, a very early vintage and with a surprisingly balanced; on the whites, dry wines, ripe acidity, this equation allows them to open up to their youth and great ageing potential. Reds are fine and cut for decades. A vintage that will remain engraved in our memories.
A beautiful golden color, same reflection as a liquorous wine. It is of a pleasant aromatic, a wine produced in our spécific style. This is a greasy wine with the freshness of the stone associated with the movement in the amphora. The first impression on the palate is very pleasant, the freshness is delicately enjoyed with a ripe fruit of peach and almonds smells.
Food Pairing:
Bretzel, hard cheeses platter, summer salad.

ROSSO DI MONTALCINO DOC
A deep ruby red with elegant orange shadows. In the nose, it expresses itself as a symphony of aromas going from an intense smell of cherry, strawberry, and violet to a fresh wild herbs aroma.

"The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia is wild and exotic, with a seductive blend of rose petals, cinnamon sticks and mentholated cherries forming its bouquet. This balances silky textures with vividly ripe wild berry fruits, zesty orange and juicy acidity in a way that I find wildly attractive. The 2020 leaves a coating of gently grippy tannins yet keeps the energy high, finishing with medium length as violet inner florals slowly fade." VINOUS
