Just published is Tim Atkin’s 2012 Burgundy Special Report, available for £12 from his website, an incisive and in-depth tome on all things to do with this most extraordinary of vintages. It’s £12 well spent, especially if you are considering making a purchase or two, which Mr Atkin would seem to heartily recommend.
‘Anyone who loves red Burgundy should buy some. Prices are steep for the top wines, but less so than they are in Bordeaux in equivalently special vintages.’
We, of course, read it eagerly to see what Tim has to say about the growers and négociants in the LEA & SANDEMAN list and were happy to see them mentioned often and in glowing terms. Especially pleasing is that in his list of Top 25 Best Value Producers (and this is a vintage where price and, therefore one supposes value, are a key talking point), LEA & SANDEMAN growers provide 7 entries. Worth a look…
All prices quoted are the In Bond price for 12 bottles unless stated otherwise. Please read the terms of the offer on the website, but any wine in it can be bought in sixes if bought duty-paid – we cannot always split cases under bond.
