Product Description
Florence Cholet Auxey-Duresses Rouge Premier Cru Les Ecussaux is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
The nose expresses a nice bouquet of black fruits, cherry and violet. The mouth provides a rich and supple wine with a good tannin structure.
Winery: Florence Cholet
Globe-trotting winemaker Florence Cholet returned to the tiny village of Corcelles-les-Arts in the Cote d'Or area - east of Puligny Montrachet, right across Meursault - in 2019 to take over the four generation-family estate. Florence's father Christian officially founded the estate in 1976 as Domaine Christian Cholet-Pelletier, and was then joined in 1982 by his wife Anne.
Florence gained experience and worked across France, USA and Australia. She studied biology and biochemistry at the University of Burgundy, Dijon. She has a licence in viticulture and a Master degree in oenology. She also worked at an independent laboratory in Morey Saint Denis.
As a young and ambitious winemaker, Florence changed many of the original vineyard practices, such as they no longer use pesticides or herbicides, and new oak is used sparingly. The vineyards are ploughed and since 2017 fermentations have used wild yeasts.

Florence Cholet Puligny-Montrachet is made from Chardonnay.
Florence Cholet took the reins of her family's fourth-generation domaine in Corcelles-les-Arts (just east of Puligny and Meursault) in 2019, renaming it from Domaine Christian Cholet-Pelletier. Master's in oenology, with stints at Chapoutier, Château de Pibarnon, Walla Walla and Australia behind her. Roughly 5–7.5 ha across Bourgogne, Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses, Meursault and Puligny. No herbicides or pesticides, ploughed vineyards, hand-harvesting, wild-yeast fermentations since 2017, and a deliberately light hand with new oak.
The 2024: blended from her usual Puligny lieux-dits Les Levrons (60-year-old vines) and La Rousselle (30 years), supplemented this vintage by fruit from Les Enseignères — one of Puligny's great lieux-dits, sitting right beside Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard, with 70-year-old vines — because 2024's crop was so small. That's an unusually strong parcel mix for a village bottling.
In the glass: classic Puligny — pale, slightly shy at first, then yellow apple, peach and melon with floral top notes and a faint spiced/licorice edge. Creamy, concentrated mid-palate, but the 2024 season's cool, wet run gives it fine, lively acidity and a mineral finish. Barrel presence is subtle: a whisper of vanilla, well integrated. ~13.5% abv.
Drinking window: good now with air, but it'll be better with 3–5 years in the cellar. Textbook food wine — shellfish, roast chicken, richer fish, soft cheeses.

Boroli Cerequio is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831. The family started their winemaking business in1997, when Silvano and Elena Boroli felt an ardent desire to step away from the pressures of their publishing business and reconnect to nature. Silvano and Elena grew the company until their son, Achille, stepped in to run the wine-growing and production business in 2012.
With the 2012 grape harvest Achille decided to radically change the methods used in vineyards and wineries, aiming for the highest quality in Barolo and its crus. He cut production levels, updated the winemaking technology, and focused on low intervention methods to raise the quality of the Boroli wines be on par with the finest Barolo wines.
About the Vineyard
The Cerequio cru lies just across the valley from the Boroli winery in the commune of La Morra and is considered one of the most prestigious sites in the Barolo DOCG zone. It is known to produce Nebbiolo wine of enormous elegance and finesse.
Wine Production
Cerequio is distinguished by a careful selection of grapes, precise destemming, and a long maceration with submerged cap.
Tasting Notes
A clear bright ruby color with very light garnet red reflections; intense and persistent aroma of red fruit with notes of plum and cherry. A pleasant aroma of wood is noticeable after the fruity aroma, anticipating the full taste of a great wine suitable for long lasting life. A succulent, rich, full-bodied and pleasant taste emerges after the woody one, with the presence of slightly ripe red fruit.
Food Pairing
Thanks to its viscosity and body, Barolo is the ideal wine to pair with elaborate dishes and dishes like truffle dishes, meat dishes, pasta with porcini mushrooms, game, and aged cheeses. Cerequio is also perfect with dry pastries or chocolate.
Review:
Precise and essential, it displays notes of lavender, hibiscus, violet, white pepper, lime, jasmine flowers, and elderberry. Medium body, perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins, and a juicy finish that displays smoothness and relaxation. Beautiful right away, it will only improve from 2024 onwards. One of the best Barolos tasted in the 2019 vintage.

La Biblioteca Estate Reserve Pinot Noir 2022 is made from 100% Pinot Noir.
From the cool, wind-swept McMinnville AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley, La Biblioteca's Estate Reserve Pinot Noir is a site-driven wine of red-fruited lift, savory spice, and fine tannin — grown on marine-sediment and volcanic soils.
Review:
Fresh and fruit-driven, the Estate Reserve is comprised of a mixture of clones from the Aegrina estate in the cool, west-facing hills of the McMinnville AVA. One winemaker, Rob Brittan, began this wine and finished by Burgundian Francois Millet. It shows generous red fruits, fresh cranberries, raspberries and a touch of piquant blood orange. The palate flashes savoury herbs, tart red fruits and sour Montmorency cherries carrying the finish.

A dusting of sweet spice and crushed violet candies gives way to ripe blackberries as the exuberant 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve emerges from the glass. Round and soothing upon entry, this flows across the palate with lifted textures and pure red and blue fruits. Brisk acidity maintains fantastic freshness as the 2022 tapers off with staining length and grippy tannins, maintaining energy throughout.
-Eric Guido (Vinous) 92 Points
Medium red-colored, the 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve is lifted with spicy notes of clove, sour cherries, pink peppercorn, and orange peel. Medium-bodied and inviting, with a delicate, floral and fresh feel on the palate, it has fine tannins and even acidity. Drink this over the next 4-5 years. 615 cases were produced.
