Bourgogne Blanc, Domaine de Montille 2019
"Pears and white plum aromas, and a note of fennel tops. Juicy and gentle with nutmeg-dusted orchard fruits but lively enough and satisfyingly concentrated and long." Tom Harrow Cellar Master Brian Sieve was rightly pleased with the domaine’s wines again this year, commenting on a good balance of acidity and alcohol but adding a note of caution about climate change: 2019 was one of the driest vintages on record and he suggests Burgundy is in “ in a window right now. Pinot Noir is a delicate variety and we need more water and less sun ”. Overall he preferred slightly fewer whole bunches and less new oak than 2018. Étienne added that 2019 has a “ classic textural character ” and was “ a consensual vintage – everyone could make the style of wine they wanted, unlike the last three vintages, here there is something for everyone ”. The latter is certainly true here at de Montille with chiselled, polished reds and racy but juicy whites. Our visits to de Montille get (thankfully) longer each year as we continue to deepen our relationship with Étienne, Brian and the team. No other address in Burgundy has such strength in its domaine whites and Côte de Beaune reds (and the highly sought after Vosne-Romanée ‘Malconsorts’ cherry on top) so we are delighted to carry a good selection from across their portfolio.

Lismore Estate Vineyards Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is produced by Lismore Estate Vineyards in the beautiful Cape South Coast region of South Africa. Founded by Californian winemaker Samantha O'Keefe, the estate sits at 300 metres above sea level in the foothills of a dramatic mountain range. The vineyards benefit from cooling winter snow and warm African sunshine, creating ideal conditions for classic cool-climate wines that are rich, complex and carefully handcrafted, expressing the estate’s distinctive terroir. Production This white wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are carefully harvested and barrel fermented to enhance texture, structure and depth of flavour. Maturation in oak barrels adds subtle complexity while preserving freshness and the natural minerality that defines this unique site.
