Thanks David. I agree they’re not cheap, but you can still pick up wines from the greatest producers for less than £100 a bottle, which is more than can be said for Bordeaux and Burgundy I suppose. I’m with you on the NZ Chardonnay – huge potential, and already more interesting than NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Some excellent Syrahs, though not across the board… though I’m still here looking!

Could it be possible to meet you in Bordeaux, Prowein or Vinexpo perhaps? Or in the UK?

I would like to present you our wines which are family owned in different appellations of Bordeaux.

Many thanks

It was one of my first wine loves – Jaboulet, Chapoutier, Rostaing, and especially Chave. These wines are pretty unaffordable now (for me), although I had a surprisingly good La Chapelle 1998 two weeks ago, which rated a star higher than JLL’s three.

It’s that cost which makes me look forward so much to your NZ article. For NZ whites I am much more impressed with Chardonnay (and the potential for Gruner Veltliner) than most NZSB. For reds, I love NZ Pinots, especially the regional differences. But Syrah seems to me to have the potential to be equally impressive with time. Can’t wait to read it.
