Small is Beautiful…
 
“2010 is a vintage that every lover of Burgundy should have in their cellar. The small crop has produced ripe, concentrated wines with great freshness, purity and definition.” This was Aidan Bell’s and Master of Wine Susan McCraith’s conclusion on their return from Burgundy, having spent the week leading up to the Hospices de Beaune auction visiting some thirty producers and tasting ten to twenty wines at each domaine.
 
As you can imagine it is hard not to enjoy a week in Burgundy visiting high quality producers. This was a particularly rewarding week because so many wines are at such a high level. There is normally a softening of interest for a vintage following such a successful one as 2009 but we unreservedly commend these 2010 wines to you. They are wines of succulence, density and crystal purity.
 
We anticipate that the very small crop and the very high quality of the vintage will see these wines being eagerly sought after and disappearing into Burgundy lovers’ cellars shortly after release, never to be seen again. So whether you are buying for pleasure or to sell a few cases at a later date we are confident that this is a year that you should not miss.
