Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Les Crots, Edouard Delaunay 2020
"A high and stony slope to the west of the village, with very shallow soils leading straight on to the bedrock. Grapes are organic and aged in 30% new oak. Dark and brooding berry fruits, cacao nibs, dried violets and smoke. Palate is full of stones, salt and freshness – like a plunge in a cold rockpool. Really quite visceral and muscular, with juniper and currants, bounded by sweeter cherry tobacco tannins, this cuvée takes a year or two to show charm and polish but when it blossoms it will be a head-turner I guarantee." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru 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. 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.
Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru 'Les Malconsorts', Domaine du Clos Frantin 2017
Domaine du Clos Frantin is located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits in a beautiful 18th century estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Over 50% of their 7.3 hectares of vineyards are Premier and Grand Cru sites, all farmed organically since 2018. The domaine has the largest plantings of Vosne Romanée’s top Premier Cru “Les Malconsorts”, one of the first in line for elevation to Grand Cru status, yet it remains a fiftieth the cost of a bottle of neighbour La Tâche! Neal Martin comments that Maison Bichot (owner of the domaine) can make “really quite delicious, complex wines that often surprise people in blind tastings when not swayed by the label.” We have always selected cuvées which offer comparable quality at a more attractive price than a number of big names - here you’ll find real value and drinking pleasure.
