Domaine Jean-Pierre Grossot Chablis 2007

2010 - 2012

Although Jean–Pierre Grossot’s Domaine totals 15ha we were very fortunate indeed to be able to obtain a modest allocation from Grossot, as worldwide demand for his wines is huge. Domaine Grossot combines great concentration and depth of flavour, with a fine minerally, steely quality, that is so unique to wines from this region. Made from old vines, the wine is beautifully balanced and elegant, with an exceptionally long finish.

Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2008, Hawkes Bay

Drink 2011 - 2018

The colour of the 2008 is a deep, vibrant crimson. Blackberry, black pepper, savoury and spice elements are prominent. Multi-layered complexity is the aim. Powerful but ripe and round tannins give the wine great structure. Oak aging plays a minor part and the wine lives on its fruit. Combined with good acidity, mineral, earthy and tarry characters result in a wine that is distinctly Northern Rhone-like rather than resembling any thing Australian.
