It's International Pinot Noir Day!🍷Burgundy in France is both the spiritual home and holy grail of Pinot Noir (and Chardonnay). We have been in the midst of our annual allocation campaign for the 2021 vintage of Burgundy wines.
@gregsherwoodmw@mattwallswine@elitistreview A few on the right bank are already doing it( certainly direct to importers vs La Place). I think it’s more difficult for left bank folk to adopt this route to market though, due to their larger production volumes.
Game, set, match!
Last week’s men’s singles Wimbledon final was poised to be settled in style with Champagne Lanson 🥂
Here’s a look back to the play on the day.
@champagnelanson @padelandsocialclub
First half of the sporting afternoon delivered in style. Alcaraz on another level today; such a mesmerising talent. Thanks @GreatDomaines for a terrific afternoon with Champagne Lanson; now for round two in Berlin, and the Spanish double…
This is going to be proper fun! Hope to see as many of the champagne, tennis, padel and wine-lovers join us as possible. Also serving some other special bottles of wine from GD on the day.

@Coetzee_Leon@DinoPaizes Thanks chaps, awesome comments. Leon, claret is the one category you can play catchup with quite easily as older vintages generally available and often fairly priced.
It is always a privilege to share such great wines with friends and colleagues. Thanks to Great Domaines for organising this unforgettable lunch. @GreatDomainesSA@ljadot
Alheit Vineyards Vintage 2023 release tasting
My first words to Chris Alheit this morning after the tasting, when he turned around to ask my feedback on his new releases was, RESPECT no other words.
A Private tasting this morning at Great Domaines, the room felt like we were
We are very excited to welcome husband-and-wife team Chris and Suzaan of Alheit Vineyards, to the Great Domaines family of producers in Gauteng. The Alheits share a similar philosophy to 1 which is central to most of the producers in our portfolio: a focus on terroir.
Phew, another big decrease in EP price with Mouton Rothschild 2023 being released . 37% down on last years price. That’s pretty significant. Now to see how much of a difference it makes with the uptake from the market…..
@ngcebs1 A combo of things but Bordeaux generally make big volumes of wine (certainly the left bank) and they need to sell wine! Also the economic climate as well some other EP vintages having been released at overinflated prices leaving stock behind in their cellars etc.
