Burgundy En Primeur 2021 with Honest Grapes – Tuesday 10th January

We are thrilled to present to our Members an exclusive event where we raise the curtain on Burgundy’s 2021 vintage.

The region now dominates the fine wine power lists, so few things get the juices flowing as much as the dawn of a new Burgundy en primeur campaign.

We encourage Members to join us and fine wine merchant Honest Grapes to taste a benchmark selection of this fascinating but all too scarce vintage. Spring frosts and other climatic hurdles sent yields plummeting in 2021; indeed, growers were relieved if they ‘escaped the worst’ and brought in 50%-60% of a normal harvest, so collectors will have to react quickly to make sure they get these wines safely into the cellar.

This interactive masterclass, hosted by Honest Grapes’ wine director Tom Harrow, will be fuelled by video-recorded insights from the featured winemakers, which include Domaine de Montille, Pierre Meurgey and Jane Eyre.

Tom will be showcasing 8-10 wines, born from a vintage which produced refreshing, classically sculpted reds and racy whites which are astonishing in their intensity but are also as rare as hen’s teeth.

Members may choose between either an afternoon or evening session but, much like the vintage itself, tickets are in short supply, so we urge you to secure your place as soon as possible.
