Telmo Rodriguez, Yjar 2019
Yjar is very much continuing the trailblazing trajectory set by its inaugural release in 2017, which was the first Spanish wine ever offered via La Place. Telmo Rodriguez is in our opinion Rioja's most exciting winemaker. We've worked with Telmo for a few years now, and it's been an honour to represent some of the incredible wines from his Remelluri and Lanzaga vineyards. Telmo's style of Rioja is almost unique in the region, using minimal oak and preferring to let the purity of fruit do the talking. His chief ambition, he has told us, was to craft wines that are just as profound as the great crus of Bordeaux. We say was, as with the Yjar, clearly he has achieved that.
Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru 'Les Malconsorts', Domaine du Clos Frantin 2013
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.
