\"Chateau<\/a>In January, The International Wine of the Month Club\u2019s Premier Series<\/a> is delighted to offer four exciting world-class wines from France and Italy, beginning with the 2019 Ch\u00e2teau Lescalle Cuv\u00e9e Emmanuel Tessandier Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur<\/strong><\/a>, an expressive, ripe, round, and utterly satisfying red Bordeaux. Its regal purple robe underscores the authority of the 2019 vintage and the particular success of Ch\u00e2teau Lescalle in what is certainly one of the finest and most consistent Bordeaux vintages. Moreover, the comely Ch\u00e2teau Lescalle Cuv\u00e9e Emmanuel Tessandier offers up decadent aromas and flavors of ripe blackberry and plum, cedar, and rain washed forest floor. Its supple fruit flavors and well-integrated tannins provide flesh and bone to the wine\u2019s youthful exuberance at the same time that they endow this handsomely wrought Bordeaux with the promise of years of fun-filled pleasure. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Domaine<\/a>Our next feature this month is the 2021 Domaine de la Racauderie Vouvray Sec<\/strong><\/a>, a classic Vouvray, offering up a delicate perfume of stone fruits, crisp fall apples, and Bosc pears. In the mouth, the Vouvray\u2019s vivacious minerality born of the appellation\u2019s limestone rich tufa soil melds with fresh and clean stone fruit flavors to delight the palate. Racy, balanced, and with laser-like precision, the sensuous, juicy 2021 Domaine de la Racauderie Vouvray Sec exhibits all of Chenin Blanc\u2019s finest attributes, including a satin-like underpinning and a long distinctive finish for which Vouvray is renowned. In France, it is said that dirt is destiny, but weather ultimately determines the vintage quality as well as the quantity: the 2021 vintage in Vouvray delivered on all fronts in Domaine de la Racauderie\u2019s 2021 Vouvray Sec.<\/p>\n

\"Carpineto<\/a>This month\u2019s next special red wine is the elegant, charming 2020 Carpineto Dogajolo Toscano Rosso IGT <\/strong><\/a>from one of Vino Nobile\u2019s most accomplished producers. Grown on hillside vineyards in central Tuscany, the 2020 Carpineto Dogajolo Toscano Rosso IGT exhibits a deep purple robe as well as beguiling aromatics in the form of freshly picked berries, cherries, rose hips, and violets. Juicy and equally seductive in the mouth, the 2020 Dogajolo offers up layers of lovely fruit, loamy earth, and hints of vanilla and spice from 6 months in French and American oak barrels. Rare is the Tuscan red that offers as much flavor and charm as Carpineto\u2019s 2020 Dogajolo \u201cBaby Super Tuscan\u201d \u2013 a very fine red wine ready to drink from the moment it is poured.<\/p>\n

\"Carpineto<\/a>Rounding out this month\u2019s Premier Series is Carpineto\u2019s 2021 Dogajolo Bianco IGT<\/strong><\/a>, a lovely white wine that mirrors the beauty and timeless charm of Tuscany. Grown on hillside vineyards under the central Tuscany sun, the 2021 Carpineto Dogajolo Toscano Bianco embodies the terroir from which it sprung, beginning with a glint and bright straw color. Ethereal and hauntingly beautiful aromatics beckon the eager taster to dive right in. Fresh and lively in the mouth, subtle apple and pear tones quickly emerge, followed by hints of melon and citrus, all of which are underlined by a pure racy minerality, the hallmark of the finest white wines of Tuscany. No smoke or mirrors, ponderous oak tones, or chemical stabilizations appear in Carpineto\u2019s 2021 Dogajolo Toscano Bianco. This is a wine that embodies the simple elegance and timeless beauty of Tuscany. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Capezzana<\/a>The International Wine of the Month Club\u2019s Collectors Series<\/a> is proud to offer three exceptional wines from three world-renowned estates and appellations. This month\u2019s odyssey begins with the 2018 Capezzana Villa di Capezzana Carmignano<\/strong> DOCG <\/strong><\/a>from one of Tuscany\u2019s oldest and smallest DOCG\u2019s. The 2018 Villa di Capezzana Carmignano captures the exceptional beauty and allure of Tuscany and wholly captivates the senses. With a deep ruby robe flashed with violet, a sensuous bouquet redolent with the scents of roses and violets, and silky tannins that embody a delicious m\u00e9lange of woodland berries and clean forest floor, the beguiling 2018 Villa di Capezzana Carmignano is downright seductive. Elegant, yet so rich in flavor, the 2018 Villa di Capezzana Carmignano sings from the glass almost from the moment it is poured. This is another Capezzana award winning Carmignano, which harmoniously blends fruit, earth, mineral and spice into one \u201csexy\u201d wine. Enjoy this Tuscan treasure now and over the next 8-10 years!<\/p>\n

\"Domaine<\/a>Next up is the recently released 2020 Domaine Gilles Noblet Les Champs Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>, a noble Burgundian white wine that sports a bright yellow robe that\u2019s the color of the noonday sun. Even more satisfying are the aromatic scents of soft ripe fruit, acacia flower, forsythia, and deft touches of vanilla which waft from the glass. This singular Les Champs Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9 handsomely rewards in the mouth, too, where it graces the palate with heightened fruit and floral flavors in the form of acacia, forsythia, and tropical fruits, all gently bathed in a highly refined patina of sweet butter, creamy oak, and Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9\u2019s renowned limestone-rich minerality. Moreover, the noble 2020 Domaine Gilles Noblet Les Champs Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9 retains the finest attributes of the appellation, though it could easily be mistaken for a village Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet. Similar to those wines, the 2020 Domaine Gilles Noblet Les Champs will continue to evolve and mature in bottle for several more years. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Domaine<\/a>Completing this month\u2019s Collectors Series is the exceptional and highly acclaimed (94 Points \u2013 Jeb Dunnuck) 2019 Domaine<\/strong> Raspail-Ay Gigondas<\/strong><\/a>. The 2019 Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas captures the Ay family\u2019s consummate craftsmanship, which balances elegance and texture with power and depth of flavor. The 2019 Raspail-Ay Gigondas is aromatic, textured, and bold in flavor, all while keeping its equilibrium as one would never know it tops out at 15% ABV. Savory scents and flavors of black raspberry, kirsch, and garrigue<\/em> mingle with exotic spices and subtle hints of violet and rose to deliver a complex, intriguing, thoroughly captivating Gigondas, and unabashedly one of the Rh\u00f4ne Valley\u2019s finest wines. The wine\u2019s ripe tannins make their appearance, too, to frame the wine\u2019s delightful m\u00e9lange of flavors and deliver a vibrant finish, assuring a long, happy life and a decade or more of drinking pleasure. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
