    Bordeaux 2024 En Primeur: Gravel, Grit & Grand Vin

    By Jack Chapman on 17/04/2025

    If I had to summarise the 2024 Bordeaux wines in two words, it would be ‘Old School’. First and foremost because it is a vintage which almost entirely re-enforced the Bordeaux status quo. We all know the weather was challenging, and the only ways to combat it were via enormous amounts of labour in the vineyards, as well as rigorous sorting in the winery.

    Burgundy 2023 is upon us

    By Jack Chapman on 05/12/2024

    Having returned last week, after tasting 200+ wines, I have been both trying to catch up on emails and find time to pen my thoughts on a vintage about which we were all… holding our breath. From what we saw in the cellars whilst tasting the 2022s, and discussions we had with producers, 2023 was big.

    Champagne mismanagement

    By Jack Chapman on 16/10/2024

    After a recent fishing trip in the Highlands, it became entirely clear to me that I had failed to manage my Champagne stocks. We were a party of 12 and consumed 24 bottles over the week – a figure which may initially seem hedonistic, but in real terms, was just three glasses a day (with the odd bottle to celebrate catching a big salmon, a stash which predictably went untouched!).

    2023 Bordeaux En Primeur

    What on earth can you expect from the Bordeaux 2023 releases?

    By Jack Chapman on 24/04/2024

    We are currently out there to truly get to grips with what the vintage has in store, but prior to that, I’d like to report the information (or indeed the rumours!) we have heard. 2023 had the potential to be a large vintage.

    2023 Bordeaux – Initial Impressions – why this is a vintage for producers with deep pockets.

    By Jack Chapman on 23/04/2024

    I am currently sitting, slightly jaded from a full week of claret tasting, wearing a Pichon Baron polo shirt (paid for with my own money – we are totally incorruptible at L&S…) and thinking about what I can pen to give you the greatest insight possible into the 2023 vintage.

    ‘Beyond Bordeaux’ – September releases from La Place

    By Jack Chapman on 01/09/2023

    I have been fortunate enough this year to visit America twice – once North, once South, to visit some of the most iconic wineries both have to offer. A hardship undertaken in order to bring the most up to date insights on the so called ‘September Series’.

    Football & Wine

    By Jack Chapman on 17/08/2023

    Sometimes, my friends like to talk about football. We’re sat in the pub, at a restaurant or at a party – usually when there are a few blokes who don’t know each other especially well - and it’s one of the first conversations to crop up.

    Jack Chapman: What to expect from 2022 Bordeaux

    By Jack Chapman on 14/04/2023

    I am going out on a limb with this blog entry, to say that you probably don’t need me to tell you that Lafite, Mouton, Margaux and Haut-Brion will probably be exceptional in the 2022 releases. It is, by now, far from a secret that we’ve got an outstanding vintage on our hands.

    Why on earth would I buy Bordeaux 2021?

    By Jack Chapman on 11/05/2022

    I feel like these blogs have become something of a confession of late, so here’s another one. As much as, when we visit Bordeaux, I’m acting in a professional capacity (something many of you will know I’m just about capable of…) to taste, evaluate and communicate a vintage to you, I’m also secretly really just figuring out what I want to buy.
