Intoxicatingly floral nose, pretty, long strawberry-red fruit with length delicacy. Held its own next to a couple of big name heavy hitters from the same year. A great wine, obviously Chambolle, at the right time, but no rush needed. The nose will stay with me for some time.

I am enjoying this wine right now very much but be aware that it is very specific. 0ver the first two hours, the fruit has disappeared and its pleasure lay in its leathery, gamey, more tobacco than tar, aged secondary flavor that is best suited to a warm fire on a winter's night or a steak. Several hours later it unwound, and a very dark, long fruit emerged that is still going into day 2, the bottle left open in the cellar.

I’ve been looking through your cellar on Cellar Tracker and noticed you have some fantastic wines, including Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin - have you considered joining Antica Terra’s Collective?
We offer hard-to-find wines to exclusive members in our waitlisted membership, curating rare bottles of perfect provenance, for sophisticated buyers, and the enrollment window is about to open to allow for a limited number of new members.
Here’s how it works; as a member, our founder and winemaker, Maggie Harrison, hand selects a bottle for you each month and twice a year you will receive twelve or twenty-four bottles delivered to your door with the option of receiving a selection of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines or a selection of exclusively red wines. A few treasures that were tucked into the founding members’ spring boxes include:
2011 Marguet Pere & Fils 'Sapience' Premier Cru, Extra-Brut, Champagne
2002 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau
2015 Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, Cuvée Roussanne, Vieilles Vignes, Rhône
2018 Comte Armand, Clos des Epeneaux, Monopole, Pommard, Premier Cru
2019 Clos Erasmus Priorat
2010 Giuseppe Quintarelli, Rosso del Bepi, Veneto IGT
Members have direct access to Maggie, the ability to select additional rarities with each shipment, and an exclusive community with a shared quest for rare beauty. We extend exclusive invitations to potential members based on their collection and tastes, and I think you would be a great fit.
If this is of interest to you, shall we set up a time to discuss? Or happy for you to email me directly at daniel@anticaterra.com.
Best,
Daniel (Antica Terra)
2012 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée
