£110

Thursday 23rd April 6.30pm

Sit-down tasting with Richard Brazier

It is really only in the last 20-30 years that people have taken the ageing potential of fine wines from the Rhone valley and particularly the North, seriously. Unfortunately wines from the great 1961, 1978 vintages etc. are few and far between and people rarely get a chance to taste them in their full maturity. We will be looking at a comprehensive range from Hermitage & Cote Rotie in the North and Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the South and it will demonstrate what serious wines can be produced from mainly the Syrah and Grenache grapes.

We will be tasting CNP Charbonniere VV 1995, CNP Vieux Telegraphe 1995, Cote Rotie cuvee Duplessy (Barges)1995 Cuvee , CNP Bosquet des Papes 1990, CNP Chateau de Beaucastel 1988, Hermitage Sizeranne (Chapoutier)1978, Hermitage(Anselme) 1971, Hermitage (J-L. Chave) 1986, Hermitage La Chapelle 1985, Hermitage la Chapelle 1982
