2008 Henriot Cuvee Hemera
Two hundred years after Apolline Henriot founded Maison Henriot, the Champagne region experienced a classic year. 2008 was a perfect reflection of the region with cool and uncertain weather in winter, spring and summer followed by a return of the sun as the harvest approached, just as if the Goddess Hemera herself used all her powers to produce one of the greatest ever vintages. Henriot’s 200th anniversary harvest realized Apolline’s vision as Cuvee Hemera 2008, showcasing both the perfect conditions of the vintage and the six founding grands crus of the House. Last Wednesday afternoon we hosted the Champagne Henriot team at Graileys, who held a Henriot masterclass for the trade. We tasted the 2008 Hemera, and with almost 14 years on its lees it revealed itself to be a stunning vintage Champagne of incredible depth and sophistication. Considering the spectrum of the world's finest Champagnes tasted regularly in the club, to find one that really stands out, it has to be something truly special...and this one is. At the BEST PRICE IN THE COUNTRY this is the Champagne deal of the year.

2021 Antinori Tignanello
Tignanello is a Super Tuscan icon, which offering towering quality at a particularly attractive price, has won a well-deserved place in the hearts of wine collectors across the globe. Even the most ardent Francophile connoisseurs find a small, guilty place for this one in their wine cellars. Simply put, Tignanello is a giant among Italian wines. The first Sangiovese wine to be aged in classic barriques and the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties (principally cabernet.) It is also one of the first red wines from Chianti Classico not to include white grapes. At the same time, Tignanello, together with Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Solaia and Masseto, is one of the original Super Tuscan wines which have elevated themselves to their rightful place beside Brunello & Barolo as Italian wine royalty. The 98 Point 2021 Tignanello is yet another stunning example of the Marchesi Piero Antinori's sky-high winemaking standards. It also demonstrates his prowess in delivering one of the finest wines anywhere in the world, while making it accessible to most of us collectors at an incredibly reasonable price point.
