Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Theurons', Louis Jadot 2006
This is classic mature Burgundy drinking; supple, mid-weight, and beautifully resolved: sweet red berries, spice, a dusting of cocoa, and those fine, silky tannins gliding towards a savoury, earthy finish. Theurons is often thought of as the sweet spot among Beaune’s premiers, sitting just under the line of Grèves and frequently the most 'Vosne-like' - silk over muscle. Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most recognisable and respected names, producing wines that range from humble Bourgogne to some of the most revered Grands Crus. Founded in 1859, the house has always focused on expressing terroir with clarity and precision, rather than chasing fashion or excess oak. Today, under the guidance of Frédéric Barnier, Jadot farms over 150 hectares of vineyards (many of them Premier and Grand Cru) and also works closely with trusted growers across the Côte d’Or and beyond.
Château Le Thil, Comte Clary, (Magnum) 2020
Château Le Thil is one of those under-the-radar Bordeaux gems that really makes you sit up and take notice. Nestled in the heart of Pessac-Léognan, just down the road from the legendary Smith Haut Lafitte (in fact, it shares the same ownership), Le Thil combines pedigree with serious value. The vintage was kind to this corner of Bordeaux, and it shows in the glass. You get all the classic hallmarks—dark, juicy fruit, subtle spice, and a lovely thread of minerality—wrapped up in a sleek, finely balanced frame. There’s freshness, precision, and just enough grip to hint at how well this will age. A wine that punches well above its weight and overdelivers for the price. For our Club Members looking for a savvy Left Bank buy with real class, this is a bottle to stock up on before the word gets out.
