Marsannay En Combereau, Edouard Delaunay 2020
Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. It is with great pleasure therefore that we can offer these brilliant wines. Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place. "From a single calcareous clay rich vineyard just south of the village but quite high on the slope and on the same level as Fixin. Aged in one and two year barrels previously housing the estate’s Hospices de Beaune wines. Lightly medicinal, smoky aromas, like an 17th Century apothecary might smell, and also raspberry and blackcurrant leaf. There is a touch of sour cherry alongside the earthy red berry fruits on the palate and some nice sinews, provided by lapsang tea tannins, leading to a salted liquorice finish. I’m always a fan of this wine which punches well above its weight and offers genuine interest rather than generic Pinot character." Tom Harrow, Wine Guru
Morlanda Priorat Crianza 2016
' Morlanda was founded in 1997 in Bellmunt del Priorat. The estate is located in the south-western end of Priorat and is comprised of 82 hectares of forest, 22 of which are planted with vines ranging from 20 to 80 years old. They are currently focusing on more sustainable management of the vineyard. It is a challenge to change from conventional growing to more respectful growing. They are proud to be one of the first wineries to use probiotics, ultimately steering the way toward sustainable agriculture. Soils Llicorella soils: rocky soils formed by Quartenary slate that contribute to the unique, minerality characteristic of Priorat. Calcareous clay soils: where there is a predominance of sediments from the erosion and sedimentation of rivers. Red soils: red clays common on the edge of the region, widespread on some of their plots. '
