Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

This talented winemaker has generated a great deal of enthusiasm among wine lovers, but we don’t always understand why when tasting his wines. Many seem too heavy or lack purity and finesse despite their substantial body. Every now and then, a dazzling wine restores our confidence—most often a white.

About the estate:

After working as vineyard manager at the Leccia estate, Nicolas Mariotti Bindi took over an old, abandoned winery on the road to Oletta in 2015. He worked tirelessly to restore this facility, which allows him to better manage his production and work using gravity flow. The vineyard is certified organic, and the soils are cultivated according to best practices. Winemaking takes place in stainless steel tanks and 16-hectoliter cement eggs. These authentic wines, always full-bodied and velvety, offer a great frankness of flavor and are delicious when young, but also age well. Their high quality and unfailing consistency have earned the estate its second star this year.

Review by Mr. GAETAN C. Published on April 12, 2021

I was perhaps expecting more given the price. A nice white wine with good structure and a hint of bitterness that isn't overpowering. Nice, but the RQP is unfavorable.
