We have one of our wine club Members to thank for introducing us to Blair Pethel and his fabulous Domaine Dublère Burgundies. Blair’s story and the development of his extremely well-regarded winery is a fascinating one and you can read all about it in the attached edition of ‘Selections’. Suffice it to say that Robert Parker has also discovered these beautiful Burgundies and has glowing things to say about them and their maker.
We are very pleased to bring you a selection of Domaine Dublère’s 2006 Burgundies: one white, the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, and five reds – Pommard 1er Cru Les Poutures; Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes; Volnay 1er Cru Les Pitures; Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux, and; Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. We are also offering Blair Pethel’s 2006 Burgundy Cru Sampler – one bottle each of these 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines. Atypically, I have not tried these wines. The tasting notes come from Blair and noted wine journalists. However, based on my research and our wine club member’s recommendations, I believe these to be truly outstanding wines that respect and reflect their terroir. Each comes in a six-bottle case and where noted is available in cork and screwcap and in magnums. Please let me know if you want screwcaps or magnums – otherwise we assume you want 750 ml. bottles with cork stoppers (exception – the regular bottles of the Savigny Village come with screw tops). Each wine contains 13.5% alcohol by volume. All of them require some time in the cellar. We plan to take your orders to the LCBO on Thursday, February 26.
