“I tasted some real beauties in November on my annual pilgrimage to God’s Own Country. Again, like in 2016, I awoke to the news of a surprising election result in America. But I put this behind me and spent a delightful week tasting some very charming, pure, elegant and accessible wines.
Every year I visit, soon after harvest, but to taste the wines from a year back. So the growers have to forget the fresh memory of the harvest they have completed just six weeks earlier, and cast their minds back a year. This year (2024) was very difficult for them and the memory of the challenges will take a long time to erase. I am sure this time next year I’ll be writing about how the wines all came good, and look delicious. But right now it’s the memory of the difficult vintage conditions and the very small yields in 2024 that everyone wanted to talk about.
But 2023 was a very different story:
2023 will be remembered as a large vintage – perhaps similar in some ways to 2009 – and yet there was no shortage of ripeness, or concentration amongst our growers’ wines. Warm years, like this, are prettily described in French as “Sunshine Vintages” (années solaires). There are many more of these than there used to be, and many fewer of the cooler years, like 2021 or 2024. But the ability of Pinot and Chardonnay to adapt to these changing conditions is a huge relief. Like in 2022, there are some beautifully-balanced wines which were, by and large, bright, perfumed, elegant and classic. I’ll be recommending them enthusiastically in my offer.
We hope to have wines from most of our growers, and we expect several of them will be present. We have found they really enjoy their visit to London in January. They especially like their pints in the pub afterwards.
We will also show some wines from 2022, 2021 and 2020.
