Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Both Sides of the Spectrum

Two successive warm and drought-filled years challenged winemakers in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, yet the 2021s and 2022s still offer plenty of pleasure. Readers will find many beautifully balanced yet sun-kissed wines. Unfortunately, others lack substance and come across as aromatically challenged, ripe and one-dimensional.

Thanks to my connected friend, it had been a splendid evening at Bouchon Racine. I can now tick it off my list, though I would love to return.

2022 Latta Wines Roussanne CB

2022 Latta Wines Roussanne CB, 90 points

The 2022 Roussanne CB is delicate with white peach, sage and wet stone aromas. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness, contrasted by crisp mineral tones and crunchy, pithy fruit, all on a medium-weight frame. Candied limes and sour melons linger as the 2022 finishes fresh and saline. (EG)

2016 Domaine de la Grange des Pères Vin de Pays de L'Herault

It must have been a decade ago when I attended a vertical of Domaine de la Grange des Pères in London. Then, it was revered as arguably Languedoc’s only true cult wine and, combined with its price tag, I was rather put off.
