Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Les Pruliers', Edouard Delaunay 2019
Whilst there are some absolute gems throughout, the strength of Edouard Delaunay's 2019s in Nuits-Saint-Georges is especially noticeable. "Juniper, blueberry, cranberry as well as riper red cherry notes hit the nostrils with some spicier mocha and dried herbs coming up plus a hint of violets and stone dust. Palate shows off an abundance of silky, supple red fruits, a touch of Turkish Delight, garrigue and sweet spice. Concentration on the mid-palate of morello cherries, with a little cinnamon stick and anise. Finish shows long with salt and stone dust. Benchmark NSG Cru." Tom Harrow, Wine Director Acclaimed to be one of the best sites in the village, to the south-west and quite near the river - means there is a combination of slightly heavier, clay-enriched soils but there is also more gravel in the southern rows. All this combines to give quite a rich, full-bodied style but with sufficient stones to ensure elegance and freshness.
Volnay Premier Cru 'Santenots du Milieu', Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2022
Resurrected by life-long Burgundy lover Mark O’Connell in 2011 and our dear friend Pierre Meurgey, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle is headquartered at the Chateau de Bligny, owned by Pierre and no less than Dominique Lafon. The talent behind the new Domaine is considerable, and the wines are already getting rave reviews from the likes of Allen Meadows (Burghound), Neal Martin & Jasper Morris. We were so impressed by the wines after tasting the 2022s and were surprised to hear that they had little presence in the UK, so it is a real pleasure to offer these wines. "Another "Tête de Cuvée" for Clos de la Chapelle according to Lavalle’s classification, this is still today decidedly one of Volnay’s very finest sites. Leroy, Jacques Prieur and Comtes Lafon also have holdings. Bright robe, deeply spicy, lightly charry nose, raspberry and griddled red plum at core, with cedar, stone dust, and iris notes and hints of smoked pancetta, cumin, dry bark, green peppercorns and roasted rosemary. This would make rather a sophisticated cologne. Attack is succulent displaying riper berry fruits than the nose with waves of spicy, inky, smoky fruit cascading over the mid-palate, drawn by long, energetic tannins that ensure precision and length." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
