Hosted by Richard Bampfield MW & Philippe Guigal Established in 1946, Guigal is arguably a more recent tenant of a region which – like many others in France – threads its way back to the Romans. Yet, despite its relative precociousness, for much of its existence Guigal has been justifiably framed as Rhône nobility. Guigal’s birthplace is a region in the Rhône’s north where the sun is capable of cascading down onto the vines to such extremes that it gave the appellation its name: Côte Rôtie, or ‘roasted slope’. While the northern Rhône remains its beating heart, in 2017 Guigal spread its wings, incorporating into its stable the Châteauneuf-du-Pape property of Domaine Nalys. The sum of these parts represents a cross section of the Rhône Valley’s preeminent sites, and Philippe Guigal joins Richard Bampfield MW to discuss his family’s adventures and taste the wines which are also available as a tasting kit to our digital members.

Hosted by Séverine Bonnie, Jane Anson & Robert Joseph Acquired by the family of Count Hippolyte de Maurès de Malartic at the tail end of the 18th century, Malartic-Lagravière has long been a favourite of many Bordeaux devotees, it regularly demonstrating the touch of a master’s hand with both red and white. This gastronomically flavoured instalment of Live from the Vines introduces us to the Bonnie clan who have been guardians of Malartic-Lagravière since 1997. Biodiversity is a central tenet of the family’s ethos, with this raison d'être allowing the gravel and limestone soils to fully infuse the wines with their profound character. Bordeaux specialist Jane Anson joins Séverine Bonnie in the kitchen to create a pair of Malartic-Lagravière signature dishes, before the wines duly take centre stage in a masterclass where host Jean-Jacques Bonnie joins Jane and fellow luminary Robert Joseph.

Hosted by Rajeev Samant, Kerry Damskey & Steve Daniel Up until 1996, the Indian province of Nashik was virgin wine territory, yet today it is considered the wine capital of India. It was Sula’s founder Rajeev Samant who envisioned a new future for the region, planted its first wine grapes and triggered Nashik’s remarkable ascent to the pinnacle of Indian winemaking. This is what Sula does, it blazes trails, and this is a rare opportunity to go behind the cellar doors and taste a clutch of its wines, alongside not only Samant but also Sula’s master winemaker Kerry Damskey.   Hear the reasoning behind that monumental leap of faith and what these figureheads of Sula see in their crystal ball, not just for Sula but also the entire Indian wine scene. It’s no doubt a future they will play a hand in mapping.
