Brunello Di Montalcino, Valdicava, (Magnum) 2013
Valdicava is firmly in the top echelon of Montalcino growers with more 100-point (JS) scores than any other. The Abruzzese family were one of the twenty-five founder members of the Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino in 1967 and now third and fourth generations Vincenzo and his son Pierfilippo, are ensuring that the reputation of the estate remains second to none. Robert Parker said there is " ... a strong argument can be made that Valdicava is among the top three or four Brunello di Montalcino producers " and there is no denying the cult status the winery enjoys today. 2013, from a cooler, damper year, flies under the radar but is a personal favourite for its finesse and aromatic complexity, and the fact it is only 13.5% ABV. With 98 points (JS), the vintage represents exceptional value in the range and large formats are drinking perfectly now, with their freshness preserved.
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Edouard Delaunay 2021
Founded in 1893, Maison Delaunay quickly became one of Burgundy’s most respected names — even acting as distributor for domaines like DRC and exclusively for La Romanée up until the 1940s. After the name was sold in the 1990s, the story came full circle in 2017 when fifth-generation winemaker Laurent Delaunay bought it back, along with the winery and cellars beside the family home, Château de Chaumont. Laurent and his wife Catherine have since secured some brilliant vineyard parcels across the Côte d’Or, from Petit-Vougeots all the way to Griotte-Chambertin. Today, the range spans everything from humble yet characterful Aligoté to serious Grand Cru, and the wines have earned consistent praise from critics and our own Club Members alike. With strong vineyard sources and a clear focus on quality, Maison Delaunay has firmly reclaimed its place as one of Burgundy’s standout producers.
