Well in the end I dithered too long! Went back into TWS site at 4.30 to make a purchase and all gone. Ah well.....I think you had an impact with this - it went from >120 bottles to sold out now (of which I may have been responsible for six).
My small property in Burgundy is local to Ch de Messey and the wine has always ken rather local, low key yet perfectly decent solid Macon at very sensible prices, especially when bin-ended at the local merchants. it appears that under a new-ish winemaker team they have come a long way, although reading that swig e-mail, it rather sounded as if they had really upped the game thus year… I made it an easy pass.Broke my duck today…
6 x Envinate Palo Blanco 2020 (back in stock at Decantolo and Gourmet Hunters for around £25 a pop)
6 x Jeremy Arnaud Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vau de Vey’ 2018 (with the very welcome 25% Marlo deal)
6 x Chateau de Messey Macon-Cruzille Clos des Avoueries 2020 (on a whim following Swig email - anyone tried previous vintages?)
Thanks for this David, I guess I’ll soon see whether Swig are over-hyping things or not! In any case I’ll be trying something new (to me) which is always exciting.My small property in Burgundy is local to Ch de Messey and the wine has always ken rather local, low key yet perfectly decent solid Macon at very sensible prices, especially when bin-ended at the local merchants. it appears that under a new-ish winemaker team they have come a long way, although reading that swig e-mail, it rather sounded as if they had really upped the game thus year… I made it an easy pass.
A case of ‘14 Nicolas Rossignol Santenots
In my limited experience so far Rossignol is v good in so called "off vintages" (e.g. not solaire). Broadly because of his late picking style. For example I have loved 17s tried EP but disliked 09 and I hear from JM's report (or was it NM'?) that he may have overbaked 2020.... Think those 2014s should be à pointe.
6 x Charles Heidsieck 2016 base BdB which arrived yesterday from Tom Mann
My error. Should have been Brut Reserve.BdB or just "Blanc"?
I bought the same!No wine yet, but I pulled the trigger on the TWS 30 year old Islay, which at £140 is decent value for the age.
Love a good and well mature islay single malt!I bought the same!
X3!I bought the same!
