And a sticky night in June is just such an occasion. And with a magret of duck from the Greenmarket and sautéed tatsoi, the newly-arrived Georges Descombes 2019 Chiroubles Vieilles Vignes beckons. The robe is a marvellous mulberry purple. The nose is perfumed, with pretty notes of black raspberry, wild cherry, graphite, and spice. The ripe (but lithe) palate balances a juicy freshness of red berry and plum character with a fine-grained, earthy undercurrent of structure. But at the moment the ebullient fruit is singing with grilled duck breast (though I wouldn’t hesitate to pair with salmon, roasted zucchini and carrots with salsa verde, or saucisson) and playing off the bitterness of the mustard greens on the plate. This is a cracking bottle of Chiroubles that welcomes a light chill and seemingly banishes humidity. This should be a pleasure to taste over the next couple nights and warrants socking away a few bottles for a more mature drinking experience…\u003cstrong\u003e John McIlwain CSW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Gamay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Beaujolais\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region\u003c\/strong\u003e - Chroubles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003eDescombes is one of the stalwarts of Beaujolais. Inspired by the late Marcel Lapierre in the early 1980s when he worked for his father’s bottling company. He is one of the more well-known of the natural producers since taking over the domaine in the hamlet of Vermont from his father in 1988, with all but a half a hectare to his name. Some refer to him as the unofficial fifth member of the “Gang of Four” (Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton). Nowadays, he farms selections in Brouilly, Régnié, Morgon, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais and Chiroubles, the vineyard husbandry organic (certified Ecocert) and using just copper and sulfur.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGeorges' wines are firmly in the \"natural\" camp and his farming is certified organic - not always the case among other natural producers in Beaujolais. Grapes are hand-harvested in whole clusters and pressed very slowly in an old vertical press with modern, precise pressure control, fermented with natural yeasts in a long, low temperature semi-carbonic maceration - minimal or zero sulfur is used, only before bottling. (Approximately 10 - 20 mg\/L in 2018.) Descombes is a true master of this type of winemaking - starting of course with great farming, bringing out beautifully complex aromas and gorgeous fruit on the palate, undiminished by excess SO2, beautifully balanced, clean and long. In short, the Descombes wines are among the finest and most consistent in Beaujolais! Tucked away up in the hills between Morgon and Fleurie, Chiroubles has often been described as “the most Beaujolais of the ten crus of Beaujolais.” In other words, everything that makes wines from this region so lovable, low alcohol, explosive flowery aromas, high-toned juicy fruit are all intensified in Chiroubles. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Georges Descombes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292717818040,"sku":"17818040","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Georges_Descombes_Chiroubles_Vieilles_Vignes_2019.png?v=1648240819"},{"product_id":"diebolt-vallois-tradition-nv","title":"Diebolt Vallois Tradition Nv","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Tradition' cuvee is made entirely from Jacques Diebolt’s vineyards in the villages of Cramant and Cuis and Epernay.

The Diebolts started producing their own champagne as far back as the early 19th century. Jacques Diebolt assumed the helm in 1959. His marriage to Nadia Vallois gave the estate both its second name and its additional vineyards. One reason for the extraordinary character and quality of Diebolt's wines is undoubtedly the magnificent collection of vineyards located in some of the most favored sectors of Cramant, as well as additional holdings in Chouilly, Cuis and Epernay. These vineyards include some very old vines  which Diebolt uses for his top cuvees. The elder generation has now largely handed the reigns to their children Arnaud and Isabelle. Isabelle is married to Jean-Paul Herbrat, so this is very much a family committed to the expression of grower Champagne. It is Isabelle that focuses her perfectionist tendencies towards raising the bar that her parents have set. The family has 11 hectares of vines mostly across the northern section of the Cotes de Blancs, with a smattering of enviable holdings elsewhere. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Diebolt-vallois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292718211256,"sku":"18211256","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Diebolt-Vallois_Tradition_NV.png?v=1648240832"},{"product_id":"domaine-collotte-aligote-2020","title":"Domaine Collotte Aligoté 2023","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligoté is a full sibling of Chardonnay and when well-cared for can produce a great wine of volume and texture, yet with a trademark crisp and refreshing acidity.

Hervé works 5-hectares of old and ancient vines—between 50 to 100 years old. He is very fortunate to work two vineyards in the Rhône Valley just opposite the storied hills of Hermitage in Saint Joseph.The actual domaine is located further into the hills of the Northern Ardeche along the Doux River, in the tiny town of Arlebosc, about a 30-minute drive, winding through the hills west from St Joseph. The winery is underneath the 16th century “Les Romaneaux” fortified farm and sits in the middle of the vines that make up the Souteronne, Syrah, and white cuvées. The methods of Jules Chauvet are followed here. Hervé works entirely on whole grape bunches and semi-carbonic maceration. His philosophy is to extract a delicate balance of tannins from the grapes, to make a wine with subtlety and finesse. This stands in contrast to many of the storied wines of the Northern Rhone that are made with much more extraction of tannin, where they are designed to be practically undrinkable in their youth, as time is needed for them to soften and open up.

In Austria's Kremstal region on the Danube they manage their seventh-generation family estate, Salomon Undhof. Then once vintage is complete in the northern hemisphere, they fly south to Australia to manage Salomon Estate. Salomon Estate was founded in 1995, originating from great ideas and passions. The first being Bert and Gertrud’s love for the landscape around the Finniss River vineyard. Second, their enjoyment of great red wines and last but not least the enthusiasm they both have for diverse cultures. The wines here are produced off a single property located on the Finniss River, about 20km southeast of McLaren Vale, where the Adelaide Hills run into the Fleurieu Peninsula. The soils are typically gravel and sand over red and orange sandstone and the vineyard falls gently away towards the northwest providing ideal exposure, warm days ensure ripe fruit flavours while the cooling breezes which roll off the Southern Ocean in the late afternoon ensure excellent acid retention.

Tasting a pre-phylloxera bottle of Domaine Tempier Bandol (a wedding gift from his father-in-law) inspired Lucien to research the terroir of Bandol extensively. Up until that point, old vineyards planted with Mourvèdre had been systematically replanted to higher-yielding varietals. However, more research not only showed its historical roots to the area, but the grape proved to be more resistant to oxidation, producing wines with great aging potential. By 1941, with the assistance of neighboring vignerons, Lucien worked with the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d’Origines) to establish Bandol as its own A.O.C. Needless to say, large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre ensued, and Bandol now requires a fifty percent minimum in all reds. Lucien will forever be celebrated as the Godfather of Bandol, but also as the man who revived Mourvèdre to its former glory. Raising deep and structured wines of such refinement and longevity has made Domaine Tempier truly a grand cru de Provence.

The ethereal Chenin Blanc from Marc Bredif remains a benchmark for the region; delicious, nervy and vividly sketched when young it morphs into an infinitely complex wine with age taking on characters of dried honey, lanolin and valvados, still with that ceramic-like sheen of minerally acidity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarc Bredif is a highly respected producer in Vouvray, which shares ownership with the de Ladoucette winery in Pouilly Fume.

These figures vary slightly from year to year according to conditions. The Cellar Master has to achieve the total consistency of taste, which makes Brut Yellow Label so immediately recognizable, so utterly reliable both in terms of quality, colour and bouquet. He will draw on priceless reserve wines for the blend: from 25 to 35%, sometimes as much as 40% to ensure the continuity of the House style. Each of these older wines - perhaps nine years old - is kept separately to preserve the unique qualities of the vineyard and the vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Champagne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Veuve Clicquot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41995900321976,"sku":"00321976","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/Veuve-Clicquot-Brut-Yellow-Label-Champagne.jpg?v=1667772952"},{"product_id":"ruinart-rose-nv","title":"Ruinart Champagne Rose NV","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Champagne's oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729 that began with the efforts of a monk, Dom Ruinart, a close friend to Dom Pérignon.

Tasting a pre-phylloxera bottle of Domaine Tempier Bandol (a wedding gift from his father-in-law) inspired Lucien to research the terroir of Bandol extensively. Up until that point, old vineyards planted with Mourvèdre had been systematically replanted to higher-yielding varietals. However, more research not only showed its historical roots to the area, but the grape proved to be more resistant to oxidation, producing wines with great aging potential. By 1941, with the assistance of neighboring vignerons, Lucien worked with the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d’Origines) to establish Bandol as its own A.O.C. Needless to say, large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre ensued, and Bandol now requires a fifty percent minimum in all reds.

Tasting a pre-phylloxera bottle of Domaine Tempier Bandol (a wedding gift from his father-in-law) inspired Lucien to research the terroir of Bandol extensively. Up until that point, old vineyards planted with Mourvèdre had been systematically replanted to higher-yielding varietals. However, more research not only showed its historical roots to the area, but the grape proved to be more resistant to oxidation, producing wines with great aging potential. By 1941, with the assistance of neighboring vignerons, Lucien worked with the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d’Origines) to establish Bandol as its own A.O.C. Needless to say, large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre ensued, and Bandol now requires a fifty percent minimum in all reds. Lucien will forever be celebrated as the Godfather of Bandol, but also as the man who revived Mourvèdre to its former glory.

Grant founded VALLI in 1998 with the intention to produce single vineyard Pinot Noirs highlighting the different characteristics of Otago’s sub regions. More than 20 years later, VALLI is doing just that, producing single-vineyard pinot noirs from Gibbston, Bannockburn, and Bendigo in Central Otago and the Waitaki Valley in North Otago, as well as a dry Pinot Gris from Gibbston and a Riesling from Waitaki. In 2015, established Otago winemaker Jen Parr joined Grant in the winery where the two aim to create wines with honesty, integrity, and most of all, a sense of place.
