For all who dream big this spring
Dear everyone,
While 2020 might not have been the year of the large-format bottle, we have a feeling that 2021 just might be. Today we're offering up our current selection of magnums and jeroboams for all who dream big this spring. Lots of cuvees here that have sold out in 750ml format, so plenty of rare gems. Without further ado:
Absentee Winery - Avi Deixler
"Let Rot" 2017 Magnums
This incredible delight spends a year in virgin oak and is in its fourth year in bottle. Remarkably smooth and integrated now. Excellent glass pour as well as it evolves nicely and with great stability for days.
Julien Altaber - St Aubin
Monthélie 1er Cru "Sur la Velle" 2017 Magnums
1er from a perfect, southfacing parcel on the border of Volnay.
Rich purple fruit with a backbone of acidity guaranteeing years of life.
Cuatro Manos – Vincent Wallard – Chouze-Sur-Loire Vdf “Tonton Cab Franc” 2014 Magnum
Bright and juicy Cab from the most excellent Loire vintage in recent memory. Reminiscent of the early days of Loire valley natural wine with brambly orchard fruit and a touch of bell pepper.
La Grange aux Belles -
Julien Bresteau / Marc Houtin / Gérald Peau - Soulaine sur Aubance
Vdf "Le Vin de Jardin" 2019 3L
Insane deal for the highly sought after platonic ideal of picnic wine. Tasting as bright and brillant as ever 1 year on.
Domaine des Buis – Pauline Broqua - Entraygues-sur-Truyères
AOP Entraygues e Le Fel “Les Brumes” 2019 Magnums
And of course some deliciously herbaceous Chenin from down the road for good measure.
