Each time we release the wines of a new vintage, we assess the conditions and factors which have shaped the wines of that year.

Southern Rhône 2009

There is no secret to the 2009 vintage in the Rhone Valley. Its success can be attributed to two factors.  Firstly the morale of the producers in the region was very high – with such a succession of fine vintages over the course of the last ten years,...
