Burgundy Wine Therapy | Meet the Grower:
Domaine de Montille
Is there another address in Burgundy that has such strength in its domaine whites and Cote de Beaune reds (and a few cheeky Cote de Nuits gems too)? We don't think so and this evening, led by Etienne, will set out to prove it, concluding with the aristocratic Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds and the majestic Pommard 1er Cru Rugien-Bas.

Burgundy Wine Therapy 1: Trailblazers
How do you replicate the January Burgundy En Primeur tastings (we normally host at least three) during a pandemic? We came up with a solution that allowed Burgundy fans to sample along with us ‘virtually’, by choosing a selection from Tom’s “Burgundy Matrix”, of key wines from vintages that bare a strong resemblance to the 2019 offerings. A Burgundy Therapy series of three, and for this first session we focused on benchmark growers and collectable crus, with a focus on Gevrey Chambertin – one of the year’s over-performers.
Burgundy Wine Therapy 3: Challengers
Wine Therapy | Festive Fortifieds & Friends
Have you ever thought of all the offerings out there for fortified festive drinks, why oh why in the UK we’re so blinkered into drinking just Port? Well we have….. so with the upcoming Christmas festive feasting period we thought it was time that we gave the stage to the delights of fortified wines and not exclusively ports.
