Wines at Zau Mei

Great find, slightly off-the-beaten track but what a wine list.

• 2018 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Typical PYCM zest and tension, but a little richer and more exotic in this vintage. Some alcoholic warmth. Nevertheless had good balance; as usual a good bet to convert non-white believers.

• 2020 La Colombera Colli Tortonesi Il Montino 87 Points

  Italy, Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

  By the glass. Deep golden in colour. Some smelly socks on the nose, a little too natural to me. High acidity as the grape bore some similarities to Riesling. Good food wine but wouldn’t have this normally otherwise.

• 2000 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 94 Points

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

  By the glass. Incredibly fresh for its age and a warmer vintage. Sensual but balanced, slight plum notes without entering modern chocolate territory. Harmonious and integrated, some salinity on the finish. Drinking at peak now.

• 2010 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 93 Points

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

  By the glass. Incredibly sensual and floral nose, but unbelievably tight and tannic on the palate. Didn’t budge much with time in the glass. Classy and aristocratic, agree with those who said that Sandrone is the best modernist maker.

• 1990 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux 1ère Trie Clos du Bourg

  France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray

  By the glass. Dark brown in colour, honey and apricot notes; lacked the freshness I would expect from Huet. Not the most representative bottle I suspect.
