2012 Chateau-Grillet - Rhône - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

The 2012 vintage, over which the Pinault family, owners of Château Latour, for the first time had full control, comes from one of the world’s smallest (barely eight acres) monopole wineries — Château Grillet. In the heart of the northern Rhône Valley, with a south-facing vineyard, Château Grillet is essentially surrounded by the nearby, larger Condrieu appellation. “The 2012 Château Grillet was a brilliant wine, showing great minerality, citrus notes and subtle but nuanced tropical fruit aromas as well as an excellent length, precision and concentration. (I have been persona non grata at Château Grillet for more than 30 years because I criticized the mediocre quality under the former owner, but that has fundamentally changed under François Pinault and his manager Frédéric Engerer).” Robert Parker There are two bottles in excellent condition.

Estimate:£459.74
