Volnay Premier Cru 'En Champans', Domaine de Montille 2023
"A complex interplay of steep, sandy limestone vineyards and marl soils delivers a wine of notable finesse. Over one-third whole cluster fermentation brings bright raspberry and crunchy cherry fruit, accented with spice and silky tannins. Balanced acidity and freshness make this a beautiful, early-access Volnay." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
Yalumba, 'The 175th Anniversary' Shiraz & Grenache, (Magnum) 2022
A generous yet polished Barossa blend celebrating Yalumba’s long family history. Shiraz brings depth and structure, with ripe blackberry, plum and gentle spice, while Grenache lifts the blend with red fruit brightness and a touch of warmth. The palate is smooth and balanced, showing juicy fruit, fine tannins and a subtle savoury edge that keeps everything in check. Approachable and expressive, with enough freshness to avoid heaviness - a confident, modern take on a classic Barossa pairing, and a fitting nod to one of Australia’s great wine families.
