Our Wine of the Week this week is a delightful NZ Sauvignon Blanc from Kim Crawford.
Many NZ Sauvignon Blancs have become too intense for some palates so this Kim Crawford is a model picture of moderation...
We love it's fresh acidity but equally delight in the fact that it is not too pungent.
Available www.lunzerwineshop.com now and perfect for the late summer nights in the garden!
We have cases of 6 for £75.00* here .. https://bit.ly/3KRVD4H

Wine of the Week
Etienne Guigal Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2019
This week’s Wine of the Week is from Etienne Guigal, an illustrious producer in the Rhone. This is a gorgeously complex but refreshing white wine. Spectacularly underated in our opinion and unusually versatile with or without food and in all seasons.
For those who feel the need to know, the blend is: 60% Viognier, 15% Roussanne, 10% Marsanne, 8 % Clairette, 5% Bourboulenc, 2% Grenache blanc
We have this wine in cases of six in our shop here:

Price: £68.00 (6x75cl) plus delivery
Wine of the Week
Ségla 2015 - 2nd Wine of Château Rauzan Ségla
It looks like we are starting to get a glimpse of the summer days ahead but that doesn't mean you have to pack away the reds until the first sign of Autumn!
With the Rauzan Ségla 2015, 'Grand Vin' nudging £100 per bottle, we love the Ségla 2015 at about 1/3 of the price. This red is a firm favourite here at Lunzer Wine and always receives great feedback at tastings. As one of our most ordered wines we are happy to list 6 and 12 bottle cases in our shop.
You can find this wine in our shop here:
Case of 6x75cl at £215.00* - https://bit.ly/3rMuyJj
Case of 12x75cl at £430.00* - https://bit.ly/3K6al7M

#2015
Ségla, 2015, 2nd Wine of Château Rauzan Ségla (6x75cl) Since the family who own the Chanel brand took over Rauzan Ségla in 1994 the estate has come on leaps and bounds... As usual, I love to find the best way to taste their expertise and the 'second wine' from 2015 is a brilliant example -...
Make it a Magnum ...
We still have a while to wait for the warm summer days but the springtime sunshine is a perfect reason to stock up on some fabulous AIX Rosé magnums.
Drawn from one of the Provence’s most celebrated terroirs, AIX is created to be the purest possible expression of what a rosé wine can be.
AIX Rosé themselves say that their wine is "made for those who know how to appreciate wine. And for those who know how to appreciate life." We couldn't agree more!
We have tasted the 2021 which is another stunner but will probably benefit from a few more months in bottle.
Meanwhile, available online now we have some Magnums of the exquisite 2020...
AIX Provence Rosé 2020 (3x150cl) £88 per 3 inc Vat ..... buy here ...https://bit.ly/3jKvglY

We have a fantastic Port that we are showcasing this week as our Wine Of The Week ..
Fonseca 1985 Vintage Port
"A real ‘wow’ of a wine that promises to last a lifetime. 96 points”
Recently tasted in London and there is no doubt that this Port is a classic, still showing great character as it heads towards it's 37th birthday...
Fonseca has always been a favourite of mine and this is what the critics say about this particular vintage... "This port is a deep inky ruby with a broad red rim. Generous and seductive nose redolent of blackcurrant, cherry and ground coffee. The full round palate is supposed by thick well integrated tannins and delivers an abundance of luscious chocolate and blackcurrant flavour which lingers into the long velvety finish. A wine still poised between youth and maturity".
We have cases of Fonseca 1985 available for delivery from the first week of May and whilst the Summer is not really the season for Vintage Port, it is worth securing this vintage now for the next few Christmases, before it runs out...

Easter Lamb - Pinot Noir - California or Burgundy?
The Easter weekend is just around the corner and aside from the chocolate, we are planning ahead for the Easter roast.
We have a preference for a Pinot Noir to accompany our Easter lamb and we can highly recommend a couple of fabulous wines from Burgundy that step up to the challenge!
As a contrast we have also chosen two delicious Pinot Noirs from California and it might be fun to serve both to see which you prefer...
Our selections are available in cases of 6 bottles in our shop and are ready for delivery ahead of the holiday weekend.

Wine of the Week
The wine we are showcasing this week is the 2018, Prats & Symington Post Scriptum Douro from Portugal.
This is the sort of Second Wine of Chryseia - a Douro red wine made by the collaboration between Bruno Prats of Ch Cos d’Estournel and the Symington Family who own among other port houses, Dow’s, Graham’s & Warre’s.
This wine is full of character and a genuine treat in restraint from a warm (!) climate capable of making rich reds with power but also balance.
The average scores from 5 renowned critics for this wine is 90/100.
We have the 2018 currently in stock but we will start stocking the 2019 shortly. Please do contact us if the shop is showing out of stock.

NEW 2014 BOLLINGER LA GRANDE ANNEE. “A truly great Bollinger” 97pts TS
New 2014 Bollinger La Grande Année - Limited Availability
Lunzer Wine Shop is delighted to announce the arrival of of the new 2014 Bollinger La Grande Année and we have a limited supply available for our customers from today.
La Grande Année is the embodiment of the carefully preserved traditional expertise of the Bollinger Champagne House. The wine is therefore exclusively vinified in small, aged oak barrels. Champagne Bollinger has never abandoned this traditional m**hod, which results in aromas of great finesse. After 7.5 years ageing on its lees (more than twice the requisite) every bottle of La Grande Année is riddled and disgorged by hand.
At Bollinger, only the very best harvests become a vintage: the 2014 vintage gave rise to a truly formidable wine which they describe as "simultaneously structured, rich and complex, in terms of both its minerality and exceptional intensity".
Available in our shop now here https://bit.ly/3vKzIZf
DP Price: £660.00 (6x75cl)
(IB Price: £525.00 (6x75cl) - please email [email protected] if you would like to purchase the 2014 Bollinger Grande Année In Bond)
___________________________________________________________________
98 pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2014 is a blend taken from 19 villages, 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay instead of the more typical 70/30 mix. For the second time in two decades (the first was 2007), Verzenay takes the lead in the Pinots over Aÿ, more or less an inverse from the norm. Verzenay, a north-facing village in the Montagne de Reims that saw less rain than Aÿ and most of the Vallée de la Marne, yields Pinots of energy more than volume. That, married with Chardonnays mostly from the Côtes des Blancs (predominantly Chouilly, Vertus, Oiry and Cramant), results in a truly magical Grande Année that will delight Champagne fans for several decades. I can’t recommend the 2014 highly enough. It’s a total knock-out. Disgorged: April, 2021. Dosage: 8 grams per liter. Drink: 2024-2044

Our new wine of the week ..
Bruno Colin Bourgogne Chardonnay
It is almost always rewarding to find the humblest wines made by top producers since their significant skills become available at a fraction of the price of their more famous offerings. Bruno's Chassagne Montrachets are a healthy £85+ per bottle making this wine more than acceptable at less than £20.
Bruno Colin Bourgogne Chardonnay is a buttery and complex white wine that has spent ten month ageing in oak barrels (up to 20% new!).
From the words of Bruno Colin, this Bourgogne Chardonnay is
"a highly expressive, seductive and complete wine
for its appellation"
We have chosen this white as our Wine of the Week and we have both the 2018 and 2019 vintages in stock.

Château Tronquoy-Lalande 2016
Saint Estephe is on a roll here with the same wine making team as Château Montrose! Sometimes it really is worth seeking out the best Bordeaux, Cru Bourgeois!
This 2016 Château Tronquoy-Lalande has been served at a few of our recent online events. It undoubtedly needs some time to mature but wow! .... Heaps of fruit to mask some sturdy tannins and balanced acidity. I think I may keep mine a while before tapping into it but if tempted before then, a couple of hours in a decanter will work wonders...
This Château Tronquoy-Lalande is available in cases of 6 and 12 bottles ... check out our shop to order www.lunzerwineshop.com

The Indulgence of a Double Magnum ...
Ségla 2015 - 2nd Wine of Château Rauzan Ségla
We love this wine and it has behaved very well in recent tastings but it is also reassuring to see the quote on Robert Parker’s website ...
_______________________________________________________________________
90-92 points - Drink 2019 to 2033
The Segla 2015 is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and a "seasoning" of 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, representing just over half the total crop, matured in 25% new wood. It has a fragrant, very precise bouquet with mineral-rich, very pure blackberry, blueberry and cold flint-like aromas. There is wonderful tension here for a deuxième vin. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy opening, just a tingle of spice on the tip of the tongue. There is very fine tension here, moderate weight but great persistence and sense of energy on the finish. On a budget? Thinking of a second wine? Look no further ..
Quote: Robert Parker's Website
_______________________________________________________________________
We suggest opening at least 2 hours in advance and probably decanting into jugs to clean out the bottle of the modest sediment and then returning the wine to the big bottle to serve…
This double magnum is definitely a wonderfully indulgent gift or a fantastic dinner party talking point ..
