Domaine Chofflet En Choué Givry 1er Cru 2022 in Brampton, ON

This impressive wine is endowed with a pleasantly ripe, plummy fruit with an edge of violets and spice. The palate's supple texture and plump feel are balanced by fresh acidity and silky tannins that carry the wine to a lovely, persistent finish. The grapes are from a parcel of over four hectares in the east/west valley that descends from the village of Russilly. The grapes are punched down by foot treading to gently extract the colour and tannin before ageing - 80% in cask (20% of it new), and 20% in concrete. Drinking window: 2025-2035. Score - 92.
