Le Machioche is a great little winery that was started by the Mazzocchi Family in the 1980’s. The winery takes its name from the “macioca”, that in the Sienese dialect indicates the root of the strawberry tree and that constitutes the woods that embrace the Estate. The winery covers a total area of about 6 hectares of which three are classified as Brunello. The vineyard is located at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level at a key SW facing slope, and at this elevation, there’s a good supply of clay, but still very rich in skeleton due to the presence of galestro rocks.
After a lucky shot in the dark, I was able to secure exactly 18 bottles of this outrageously rare item — a quantity too small to email or even text out. You can find almost nothing from the fantastic 95-point rated 2007 vintage in Montalcino anymore. But if you have any Brunello bottles in your cellar and you’ve opened any in the past couple of years, you can attest that they are lights out right now.
These were found in the back of the winery’s cellar in perfect condition. Barely any made it stateside originally, I can find only one person with it online now (for $139/bottle). Needless to say, this is a fantastic deal on a wine that is in the midst of its drinking prime.

93 Points, James Suckling
Very ripe style, verging on jammy, with lots berry and dried strawberry. Full body, round, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs at least three to four years to soften.
92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Le Macioche is quite pretty in this vintage. Sweet floral notes meld into pine, mint and dried cherries in this feminine, gracious Brunello. The 2007 from Le Macioche is all about understatement and class. It is one of the more reserved wines of the vintage, and will appeal to readers who appreciate the subtle side of Brunello. The estate’s Brunello spent 44 months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
