Hosted by Jane Anson, Bérénice Lurton & Frédéric Nivelle Live from the Vines brings us to Sauternes-Barsac, the tiny region located on the left bank of the Garonne in Graves, south-west Bordeaux, where we visit Château Climens. Here, Jane Anson visits one of the First Classed Growths of 1855, to meet owner Bérénice Lurton and Technical Director Frédéric Nivelle to discover the history of this prestigious growth, characterised by the unfailing continuity of producing the very best to be coaxed out of this unique terroir.

Hosted by Alexandre Abel & Jasper Morris MW Integrity courses through Ponsot, be that in its approach in the vineyard, or the relationship it enjoys with its many adorers. Regards the former, the Ponsot practice more than dips into both organic and biodynamic viticulture (although Ponsot eschews these tags). As to the latter, if it feels the wines are not up to scratch then Ponsot will reduce the price, as was the case for virtually the entire 1994 vintage. Alternatively, as Ponsot says, ‘we send it to the distillery, as we did for the Morey Clos des Monts Luisants 1993 and 2012.’ Master of Wine Jasper Morris visits this beacon of Burgundy, discussing Ponsot’s at-times controversial ethos with its chief winemaker Alexandre Abel and the family’s fifth-generation winegrower William Ponsot. It is an engrossing insight into the inner workings of an unflinchingly exacting property, culminating in a spectacular, multi-vintage tasting of its sublime Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, which is also available to our digital members as a tasting kit.
