From very early on, Moncerbal shone and felt to be among the finest vintages for this paraje. 2021 was an atypical year, cooler but with a warm and dry end of the season. They harvested some grapes at the end of August, and then they had to stop because the grapes wouldn't ripen! So, Pétalos has only 13.5% alcohol. Some wines have a reductive character; it was a cooler and dry year, and the wines show that character, continental and cold, despite the heat in July and August. The wines are juicy and aromatic, a lot fresher than they anticipated. The wines have contained alcohol (all around 13.5%) and a narrower profile. It should be a long-lived vintage, perhaps not as juicy as the 2018s but with very good balance and freshness. Now from bottle and with the perspective of time, the wines are evolving nicely, perhaps not reaching the heights of 2018, but with elegance and grace, slowly. Starting in 2021, all the wines except Pétalos are certified organic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2022 was a very challenging year, but surprisingly, the wines are more balanced and better than what they expected. The alcohol is lower than expected, the vines got blocked, it was very warm and dry, or at least the alcohol didn't go that high, but the acidity started dropping. Yields were high, and the white grapes were very good; they used a lot of white grapes, almost to the allowed 10% to 12%, when they normally use between 6% and 8%.

When Luciano Sandrone planted here over 30 years ago, Roero was still largely dismissed as peripheral to Barolo and Barbaresco. Drawing on his experience working Roero fruit at Marchesi di Barolo, he saw its potential early, despite the challenges: extreme 50% slopes, highly sandy soils prone to drought and erosion, and the significant investment required to terrace and replant the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"1048\"\u003eToday, Valmaggiore is farmed with meticulous, largely organic practices and strict fruit selection to preserve purity and precision.

It is built from a multi-vintage blend centred on the 2022 base year (around 65%), complemented by reserve wines from the two preceding vintages, including a substantial perpetual reserve component (approximately 40% of the blend). The cépage is split across 35% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims (Ludes, Trépail and Ormes), 35% Chardonnay from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, and 30% Meunier from Mareuil-le-Port.

The cooler, chalk-driven sites of Ludes and Trépail provide precision and verticality, while the Marne fruit and reserve wines bring mid-palate richness and continuity.

The wine is hand-disgorged and finished with a low dosage of around 5 g\/L, preserving tension and mineral definition. Recent refinements—including the exclusion of tailles and increased emphasis on Chardonnay from Trépail—have further sharpened acidity and lowered pH, contributing to greater precision and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003eThe 2022-based release shows ripe citrus and stone fruit aromatics—nectarine, orange zest, brioche and subtle spice—over a tightly coiled, chalky frame.

Bursting from the glass with aromas of nectarine, orange zest and brioche, it's medium- to full-bodied and ample, with considerable density, underpinned by racy acidity and concluding with a chalky finish. The Brut Réserve has seen the most refinements in recent years as it no longer incorporates tailles and now features Chardonnay from Trépail; technically, this means that the pH is lower and the acidity is higher.
