  1990 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, Trimbach

  £9900

  This wine is a real treat – one of Trimbach’s finest – 30 years old!  It is made from botrytised (noble rot) Pinot Gris grapes that are hand-selected from the best vineyards. It is made in only exceptional years and has natural residual sugar (over 30g) which harmonises perfectly with natural acidity.

  In the glass, this wine exhibits aromas of dried apricot, burnt caramel and honey with banana and a touch of smoke. Beautiful subdued sweetness with underlying acidity. Very intense and concentrated in the mouth. The palate includes orange peel with waves and waves of intense, tautly precise flavour framed by good acidity. Very impressive finesse and length.

  2017 Condrieu, Chaillées de l’Enfer, Georges Vernay

  £10500

  “I liked the wines that came from the slopes, I found those from the plains very average”. These words of Georges Vernay sum up his contribution to Condrieu. Thanks to Georges, the abandoned, steep slopes here were given new life in the 1960s. In fact, this determined man had the genius intuition to cultivate vines on the “chaillées”, or terraces, aptly known as the “chaillées de l’Enfer” (terraces from hell)!

  On the nose, the 2017 reveals exquisite floral notes, like old rose and peony, as well as a fruity side. The palate shows finesse and elegance, with the floral character of the nose accompanied by hints of spice. This is a balanced Condrieu with beautiful length, complexity and pureness.  Drink now to 2030
