At exactly 30 years of age, it has officially entered its peak maturity window, and is ready to impress any and all who (gently) pull a cork. El Coto is among the most influential and universally known Rioja producers of contemporary times. With its wonderful elegance, complex tertiary flavors, and savory\/woodsy perfumes, this Tempranillo antiquity is a truly sublime, mature wine experience. It probably goes without saying, but the opportunity to acquire a deeply traditional Rioja with perfect provenance and substantial age shrinks with each passing day.

Despite zero dosage, it feels remarkably complete: generous without sweetness, powerful without weight, and so naturally balanced that the lack of dosage fades into the background. The fruit comes from seven hectares of chalk- and clay-rich vineyards around Treslon in the Vallée de l’Ardre—often cited as Meunier’s spiritual home—where the fourth-generation Lagille family has long treated Meunier as their calling card. If any wine captures the soul of this domaine—its vineyards, its philosophy, and Vincent’s quiet confidence—it is La Garenne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a glowing copper-pink hue and fine, persistent mousse, with aromas of red apple skin, wild raspberry, citrus, and a distinct chalky-earth note. The palate delivers everything Meunier lovers chase: macerated strawberry, blood orange zest, rhubarb, and subtle savory herbs on a creamy, finely textured frame. Sourced entirely from the 2022 vintage and disgorged in April 2025 with no dosage, it finishes long, clear, and mineral rather than austere, carrying a strong sense of place that lingers after each sip. This is Champagne built for the table, not just for toasts, and it shows its best alongside food that matches its red-fruited depth and brisk, saline backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\" id=\"why-youll-love-it\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eBrut Nature Meunier that’s generous and complete, proving dosage isn’t required for balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eA pure expression of organically farmed Pinot Meunier from a single Vallée de l’Ardre lieu-dit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eOne of the most articulate, “soul-of-the-domaine” bottlings from a quietly top-tier grower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-base first:mt-0\" id=\"how-to-serve-it\"\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eServe well chilled, around 48–50 °F, ideally in a white Burgundy or all-purpose stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003ePair with herb-roasted red snapper, pan-seared trout with brown butter and capers, or simple fish with lemon and greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eGive it a few minutes in the glass to open; enjoy now for its energy and detail, or over the next few years as complexity builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46825020293174,"sku":"SOMM2607-CDLMVCHA-750","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/MVChampagneDomaineLagille_LaGarenneBrutNatureBlancdeNoirs.png?v=1783549622"},{"product_id":"2023-marisa-cuomo-fiorduva","title":"2023 Marisa Cuomo, Furore Bianco \"Fiorduva\", Costa d'Amalfi DOC","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClinging precariously to the vertical,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sun-drenched dolomitic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Cantine Marisa Cuomo \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epractices a terrifyingly steep brand of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"heroic viticulture\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethat yields one of the planet's most singular white wines.

Beginning in 2004, he rebuilt the domaine around a holistic vineyard-to-cellar philosophy, converting it to organic and then biodynamic farming—an especially demanding commitment in Champagne’s cool, wet climate. The estate was fully organic by 2011; Marguet works with horses, painstakingly farms each parcel, and is known for an unusually personal connection to his vines, to say the least.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe 2020\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“Les Crayères” Ambonnay Grand Cru is a scarce, single-vineyard Brut Nature Champagne from 1.35 hectares of shallow clay-limestone soil over white Campanian chalk.

Today, the Massins farm approximately 22 hectares, predominantly Pinot Noir, with the next generations continuing the family’s focus on terroir, careful vineyard work, and increasingly natural practices.

Graphite, lavender, crushed rocks, menthol and dark spice emerge with great reluctance. Then again, the 2023 was bottled just a few months before this tasting. It's a vivid, explosive Cabernet that will need at least a few years to be at its most expressive. Poor set lowered yields by about 25%, resulting in an unusually potent wine here.
