Sancerre 2024: A Test of Endurance

There’s no sugar-coating the 2024 vintage. The wines are unlikely to show the region in its best light. In a growing season defined by rain and cold, one must wonder: will Sancerre’s allure prove as weatherproof as its reputation?

Let me cut to the chase. Plates is one of my finest meals in recent months. But in a way, it goes beyond satiating the senses. It made me reflect on food.

2023 Pagliarese Chianti Classico

2023 Pagliarese Chianti Classico, 91 points

The 2023 Chianti Classico is a big, burly wine. Black cherry, tapenade, dried herbs, leather, game and incense exalt the darker, wilder side of Sangiovese. This old-school Chianti Classico from Castelnuovo Berardenga delivers the goods. It’s very much a wine for the dinner table. (AG)
