Lyme Bay, Martin's Lane Pinot Noir 2020
Lyme Bay's 2020 Martin's Lane Pinot Noir is a brilliant example of just how far English red wines have come. There’s classic cool-climate Pinot character here: bright red cherries, wild strawberries, a little cranberry crunch, and just a hint of earthy spice. The palate is silky and pure, with fine tannins and a gentle touch of oak that gives it structure without overshadowing the fruit. It’s got enough depth to pair beautifully with food (think duck, roast chicken, or grilled salmon), but it’s also just a joy to sip and savour on its own. Lyme Bay Winery in Devon is at the forefront of English still wine production, sourcing fruit from top vineyard sites in warmer counties like Essex and Kent.
Savigny-lès-Beaune 'Les Bas Liards', Domaine d'Alussia 2023
An address on a new trajectory and definitely a name to watch - we are excited to introduce Domaine d'Alussia for the first time to Honest Grapes club members. Winemaker Alexandra Wilson joined the domaine in August 2024, bringing valuable experience from her time with Benjamin Leroux and, before that, fellow Australian winemaker Jane Eyre. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bernard Zito, a renowned consultant and specialist in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aptly described by Winehog's Steen Öhman as “The Swiss Army knife of the Burgundy wine world.” "Like our Aux Montagnes, the vinification of Bas Liards took place in 1000L wooden vats for alcoholic fermentation and then pressed to barrel (30% new) for èlèvage. The fruit comes from biodynamically farmed 50yro vines at the base of the foothills in Savigny. Lifted and floral, it’s a classic example of Savigny Pinot Noir. A beautiful density and fruit weight to the palate of this wine. Fruit-forward with blood plum, blood orange, and red berries. Its fine sandy tannins and elegance lends itself to an early drinking style with ageability." Winemaker's note The domaine combines its own vineyards with contracts from trusted growers, offering a diverse range of wines. Notable holdings include a vineyard in Aloxe-Corton near the winery and three Premier Cru sites: Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and a prized 0.3-hectare plot in Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts'.
