Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Wooden Case, - 900cl 2020
The 2020 vintage marks a milestone for Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, as it’s the first time the estate has released a limited number of beautifully presented large-format cases, comprising four bottles, two magnums, and a double magnum (a total of 900cl). It’s a standout Pauillac vintage, showing all the hallmarks of the château’s class and precision, with depth, structure, and elegance in perfect balance. The larger formats promise to age beautifully, making them a treat for collectors and wine lovers alike. As a gift, it’s hard to think of anything more impressive; a rare and memorable way to celebrate a fine Bordeaux vintage, built for sharing and savouring over many festive seasons to come.
Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru 'Aux Malconsorts', Domaine de Montille, (Magnum) 2023
The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. "Bordering the iconic Grand Cru La Tâche, this wine benefits from 50-year-old vines in clay and stony soils. Two-thirds whole cluster fermentation and 40% new oak result in complex aromas of soft red fruit, floral and spice notes, and a precise, angular palate of dark cherries and plums." Our note Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. For reds, comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
