2019 Valle d’Aosta “Fumin”
Château FeuilletFumin is another compelling, yet extremely rare grape variety endemic to the Valle d’Aosta. From the very first deep purple splash, Château Feuillet’s rendition carries vivid wild berry notes of an almost startling vibrancy—it is simply bursting with juicy fresh fruit! With some air, subtle hints of stones, graphite, herbs, and smoke emerge, providing intrigue in addition to sheer pleasure. Heightened aromatics and tangy acidity betray its origins high in the Alps: Fumin truly is, as Feuillet’s vigneron Maurizio Fiorano puts it, “an age-old pearl of local enology.”

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
