DELAS FRÈRES
Delas Frères began as a niche Rhône family domaine more than 160 years ago. Since being acquired by Champagne Deutz (1977) and subsequently Louis Roederer in 1993, it has made great strides toward becoming a prominent name in the Rhône under the direction of Burgundian winemaker, Jacques Grange. The wines are made to epitomise finesse and elegance, with recent vintages from the vineyards of Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Côtes-du-Rhône and Côtes-du-Ventoux winning all the more praise for their intensity of flavour and excellent value.Lot 1 – DOMAINE ALAIN BURGUET, Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus 2010 x 2 bottles

Domaine Alain Burguet
By the age of 14, Alain Burguet and his brother Gilles were, according to their father, done with school – by this time, they’d already spent many hours working alongside his father in the vineyards. Returning to Gevrey from his military service, Alain started his own domaine, initially with rented vines until he could start to accumulate land of his own. From the beginning, he practised organic farming, long before an official certification even existed! Alain’s sons, Jean-Luc and Eric joined the domaine in the late 90s and officially took the reins in 2011 and have converted the farming to biodynamics.Lot 1 – Château Haut-Bergey Pessac-Léognan 2000 x 6 Magnum (OWC)

The present owner Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard, purchased the 28.5-hectare estate in Leognan in 1991. Most of the vineyards, planted on excellent gravelly, pebbly soils, are devoted to the production of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with 2 hectares devoted to Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.Lot 1 – Château de Meursault Pommard 1er Cru, Clos des Epenots 2013 x 6 Magnum (OC)

Château de Meursault
Until recently, Château de Meursault has been best known for its impressive vaulted cellars and being the venue for the annual Le Paulée de Meursault more so than for their wines. In 2012, however, with Hong Kong-based Olivier Halley’s purchase of the domaine, the focus has shifted squarely to winemaking. Stephane Follin-Arbelet, former director of Bouchard and brother of Frank Follin-Arbelet, joined the team and has already made great strides in making the estate a rising star of Burgundy. Conversion to organics, planting cover crops, increasing the size of picking and lowering yields are just some of the many effective innovations he has introduced, and the results are telling.Lot 2 – DESCENDIENTES DE J.

Producer Profile:
DESCENDIENTES DE J. PALACIOS
Alvaro Palacios came to fame with his L’Ermita wines in Priorat – a wine said to have helped revolutionise the Spanish wine industry. Having studied at the side of Christian Moueix (of Pétrus and Trotanoy fame in Bordeaux) in his early 20s, Alvaro returned to Spain and elected not to join his esteemed winemaking family in Rioja, but pursue distinctive high-quality wines in other regions. First Priorat, with L’Ermita, and then Bierzo where he started Descendientes de J. Palacios with his nephew, Ricardo Perez. The project, named after Alvaro’s father, focuses on the indigenous Mencia grape. They search for old vines at high altitudes and apply vinification techniques intended to highlight the terroir personality of their biodynamically farmed vineyards.
