Tasting September fine wine releases via the Bordeaux Place

Click to see our new score table covering notes and scores for all the September fine wine releases via the Place de Bordeaux Notes on a selection of the top-scoring September releases 2021 are also at the bottom of the post While Bordeaux en primeur remains the key event in the Bordelais calendar, these September releases are now an important fixture for the fine wine trade. They not only concentrate the attention of buyers at a time when the interest in blue-chip Bordeaux is traditionally low but have also helped nu00e9gociants to diversify their businesses by creating a dedicated, separate sales strategy to manage the international releases. This trend has been growing every year since the first non-Bordeaux wine joined the Place in 1998 in the shape of Almaviva, a joint-venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA (Mouton) and Chileu2019s Concha y Toro. Opus One, the California joint-venture created in 1979 between the Rothschilds and California's Mondavi family, started releasing some of its wine via the Place in 2004.u00a0 The first wine not linked to Bordeaux was Italyu2019s M eto, in 2009, followed by Solaia, in 2010. They were followed by South Africa's famous sweet wine, Vin de Constance, as well as one of the most in-demand Rhu00f4ne Valley wines, Chu00e2teau de Beaucastelu2019s Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin, which is sold now exclusively through La Place in September. More recently, the first Australian wines entered the system in 2020 and there are several debutants in 2021, including the first wine from the Penfolds range, a Spanish Rioja and vintage Champagne. Released via the Bordeaux Place for the first time in 2021: [subscriber-content] Australia Penfolds, Bin 169, Australia Chile Santa Rita, Casa Real Reserva Especial, Maipo Alto France Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses, Champagne Italy CastelGiocondo, Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino Petrolo Bu00f2ggina C Riserva, Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC Giordo la Quinta, Tuscany Spain Telmo Rodriguez, Yjar, Rioja Alvasia USA Beaux Fru00e8res, Oru00e9gon Peter Michael Les Pavots, Sonoma Why do wineries want to sell via the Place de Bordeaux? For wineries, the lure of Bordeauxu2019s well-honed, global distribution network offers the prospect of a higher profile and a bigger physical presence in retail, in restaurants and bars and in new markets in general. Alongside the names listed above, the collection also features top SuperTuscan wine Ornellaia, Californian's Inglenook, Cardinale and Promontory (Harlan), plus and Chilean fine wines Seu00f1a and Santa Rita. This means there is, by proxy, an approved seal of quality for any new wines joining the mix. u2018The ociation on the Place gives a brand credit to be there, they wonu2019t take a wine unless it has merit,u2019 says Sam Barry, third-generation winemaker at Jim Barry, whose second vintage of The Armagh Shiraz (2017) will be sold via the Place this month. Accounting for only 0.5% of overall production, Barry says the amount of wine released via the Place u2018wasnu2019t a driver commerciallyu2019 but was more to u2018have a far greater reach and more customers being able to access Armagh.' He adds, 'Even the visibility of being on the Place, it opens you up to areas that prior you couldn't.u2019 As well as giving wineries a bigger choice of which markets to target, producers can also exclude markets or remove airlines, cruise ships, on-trade establishments and even online retailers from the pool of potential buyers via the Place. Many of the US wines, for instance, won't use the Place to sell within the USA or to Mexico, Canada and Central American markets. Other wineries can remove markets where they already have a solid presence. M eto, for instance, has restrictions on sales in Italy, USA and Canada, as does Wynns John Riddock for Australia, New Zealand and the Scandinavian monopolies. Coonawarra's Wynns will offer a portion of its John Riddoch 2018 via the Place de Bordeaux this month, and winemaker Sue Hodder said she has seen u00a0a marked increase in availability of the wine since launching on the Place last year. u2018There's so many more listings for John Riddoch in different countries than there were this time last year. Itu2019s good to be able to show our history, ageability and story that is a culmination of our endeavours.u2019 More about this year's releases Among the Napa Valley listings this year is the third release of Quintessa, the 2018 vintage, and the wine was presented in Bordeaux in person by estate director Rodrigo Soto. u2018Itu2019s very exciting times for us, not only learning this system which is quite foreign to us but at the same itu2019s an honour for us to be part of the u201cexclusive group of producersu201d and trying to go international,' he says. California has been enjoying a strong period on the fine wine market in general, and several UK-based merchants and ysts have noted how more wineries were looking to expand their international reach. Given the strength of the US market, Soto emphasises that itu2019s not a financial objective but rather a u2018long-term vision for positioningu2019. u2018The objective is to make this estate an international brand and replicate the work that took us 30 years in the US to do. [It's about] growing our model a little bit, hopefully getting a few cases out of the US and diversifying our business.u2019 With an average production of 120,000 bottles, Bordeaux nu00e9gociants will get an allocation of 600 cases, 7,000 bottles, of Quintessa 2018. 'We feel like weu2019re starting from scratch this year as last year we couldnu2019t be in Bordeaux,' Soto says. 'Weu2019re learning discipline, approach to market, comparison with other new world producers who are in a better position as they have done the work for the last 10-15 years.u2019 Closer to home September is also becoming a time to watch for a handful of top Bordeaux labels. This year sees new, ex-cellar stocks of Latour 2005, while Chu00e2teau Palmer will release more of its 2011 vintage on 23 September. Palmer began a new '10 years on' strategy last year. From the Rhu00f4ne, Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel also has its Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape 2019, Coudoulet 2019, Blanc 2020 and Vieilles Vignes 2020 coming out, alongside the Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin 2019. In Sauternes, Chu00e2teau d'Yquem has changed its release schedule. The Yquem 2019 vintage had been expected this autumn but is now set to be released in March 2022, Liv-ex said this week. Which vintages are being released? Unlike the single-year focus of Bordeaux en primeur, buyers will have to navigate eight different vintages from producers spread around the world. Standout, successful vintages include Napa Valley 2018, a vintage described as u2018a winemaker's dreamu2019 by Trevor Durling, winemaker at Beaulieu Vineyard. Its Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2018 is launching this month. Brunello di Montalcino's five-star 2016 vintage is also represented in this year's releases. Italy expert Michaela Morris recently said in her report for Decanter,u00a0'When a vintage like this comes along, producers rightly revel in it. And with so many impressive wines, Brunello-lovers should absolutely buy up!'. Chu00e2teau Palmer 2011 is an example of a wine from a more challenging vintage in Margaux, and it was the estate's smallest crop since 1961. But CEO Thomas Duroux said the wine should be u2018a fabulous surprise for people who have the chance to taste it now', because it was u2018somewhat swept under the carpetu2019 following the renowned 2009 and 2010 vintages. Roughly speaking, releases can be split into the following: Italy - Tuscany, Bolgheri and Sicily 2018 and 2019 | Brunello 2015, 2016, 2017 Chile and Argentina - 2018 and 2019 Australia - Coonawarra, Margaret River and Clare Valley 2017, 2018 and 2019 USA - California's Napa Valley 2015 and 2018 plus Paso Robles 2019 | Oregon 2018 France - Bordeaux 2005, 2011, 2019 and 2020 | Rhu00f4ne 2019 and 2020 [breakout] September Releases: The full list Argentina Catena Zapata, Nicolu00e1s Catena Zapata, Uco Valley, 2018 (released 1st September) Catena Zapata, Adrianna Vineyard, Mundus Bacillus Terrae, Mendoza, 2018 (not yet tasted) Cheval des Andes, Mendoza, 2018 (not yet tasted) Australia Cloudburst, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2019 Cloudburst, Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, 2018 Cloudburst, Malbec, Margaret River, 2018 Wynns Coonawarra Estate, John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, 2018 Jim Barry, The Armagh Shiraz, Clare Valley, 2017 Penfolds Coonawarra Bin 169, 2018 (not yet tasted) Chile Clos Apalta, Casa Lapostolle, Conchagua 2018 (released 31st August) (not yet tasted) Clos Apalta, Le Petit Clos, Apalta Valley, Conchagua 2018 (not yet tasted) Santa Rita Casa Real, Reserva Especial, Maipo Alto 2018 Seu00f1a, Aconcagua 2019 (released 2nd September) Seu00f1a, Vinedo Chadwick, Puente Alto 2019 (not yet tasted) France Lu2019Odysu00e9e, Vin de France, Rhu00f4ne, 2018 Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel, Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin, Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Rhu00f4ne, 2019 Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel, Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin, Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Rhu00f4ne, 2009 Chu00e2teau Palmer, Margaux 3u00e8me Grand Cru Cl u00e9, Bordeaux, 2011 Chu00e2teau Latour, Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Cl u00e9, Bordeaux, 2005 (not yet tasted) Chu00e2teau du2019Yquem, Y du2019Yquem, Bordeaux, 2020 (not yet tasted) Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses Extra Brut 2012, Champagne Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses Extra Brut LV 1996, Champagne Italy Alberelli di Giodo, Rosso, Etna 2019 Bibi Graetz, Bibi Graetz Colore, Toscana, 2019 Bibi Graetz, Testametta, Toscana, 2019 Caiarossa, Toscana, 2018 Castelgiacondo, Brunello di Montalcino, 2016 Castello di Fonterutoli, Concerto, Toscana, 2019 Castello di Fonterutoli, Siepi, Toscana, 2019 Fattoria Petrolo, Bu00f2ggina B, Toscana, Tuscany, Italy, 2019 Fattoria Petrolo, Bu00f2ggina C, Valdarno di Sopra Fattoria Petrolo, Galatrona, Valdarno di Sopra, 2019 Giovanni Rosso, Etna Rosso, Etna 2018 Luce della Vite, Luce, Toscana, 2018 Luce della Vite, Lucente, Toscana, 2018 Luce della Vite, Brunello di Montalcino,2016 M eto, M etino, Toscana, 2019 M eto, Toscana, 2018 Orma, Toscana, 2019 Ornellaia, Le Volte Dell'Ornellaia, Toscana 2019 Ornellaia, Le Serre Dell'Ornellaia, Bolgheri, 2018 Ornellaia, Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia, Toscana, 2019 Ornellaia, Bolgheri Superiore, 2018 Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino, 2016 Poggio Antico, Poggio Antico Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino, 2015 Podere Giodo, La Quinta, Toscana, 2019 Podere Giodo, Brunello di Montalcino, 2017 Solaia, Toscana, 2018 Tenuta Sette Ponti, Pasi di Orma, Bolgheri, 2019 South Africa Klein Constantia, Vin de Constance, Constantia, South Africa 2018 (released 1 September) Spain Divisa Nuestra Seu00f1ora de los u00c1ngeles de Tolou00f1o, Yjar, Rioja Alvesa, 2017 Uruguay Bodega Garzu00f3n, Balasto, Uruguay 2017 (not yet tasted) USA Beaulieu Vineyard, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Beaux Fru00e8res Vineyard, Beaux Fru00e8res, Willamette Valley, Oregon, 2019 (not yet tasted) Dalla Valle Vineyards, Maya, Napa Valley, 2018 Dao Family Estate, Soul of a Lion, Paso Robles, 2018 (not yet tasted) Inglenook, Rubicon, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Inglenook, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2018 Inglenook, Blancaneaux, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2019 Joseph Phelps, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2018 Joseph Phelps, Insignia, Napa Valley, 2018 Lu2019Aventure, Estate Cuvu00e9, Paso Robles Willow Creek, California, 2019 Lu2019Aventure, Optimus, Paso Robles, 2019 Lu2019Aventure, Cu00f4te u00e0 Cu00f4te, Paso Robles, California, 2019 Opus One, Napa Valley Oakville, 2018 Opus One, L'Overture, Napa Valley Oakville, NV Peter Michael, Les Pavots, Knights Valley Sonoma, 2019 (not yet tasted) Peter Michael, Au Paradis, Oakville, 2018 (not yet tasted) Promontory, Napa Valley, 2015 Quintessa, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Vu00e9ritu00e9, La Joie, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) Vu00e9ritu00e9, La Muse, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) Vu00e9ritu00e9, Le Du00e9sir, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) [/breakout] Tasting the September releases in Bordeaux A number of special pre-release tastings were held in Bordeaux in the run-up to September. Many of the wines below were tasted at Maison Joanne, under its new division, Joanne Rare Wines, dedicated solely to the new international offerings. Headed by general manager Jean-Quentin Prats, this is designed to be a u2018dedicated and handcrafted serviceu2019 for wines from other, non-Bordeaux regions around the world. u2018Weu2019re brand building and we want wineries to trust the nu00e9gociants to sell their wines,' Prats says. 'Also, if you work with Bordeaux nu00e9gociants you have access to a global network of clients and we can give transparency on where the wine goes.' Maison Joanne alone has more than 1,000 clients around the world, including 300 in mainland China. With the other nu00e9gociants, the Place counts more than 10,000 business-to-business clients and an unrivalled sales reach. The benefits of consolidated shipments for orders of multiple wines, and a trusted logistics process, has given extra clout to the system - particularly amid the recent uncertainty surrounding shipping due to Brexit, Covid and government restrictions. u2018We are trying more and more to establish September as a key moment for the release of great wines of the world,' says Prats. u2018More than ever our wish is to give comfortable access to large collections of fine wines to distributors around the world in the best conditions possibleu2019. Stand out wines include: Jim Barry, The Armagh Shiraz 2017 Bibi Graetz, Colore 2019 PoggioAntico 2016 M eto 2018 Promontory 2015 Cloudburst Chardonnay 2019 Klein Constantia, Vin de Constance 2018 And two of the new releases: Yjar 2017 Clos des Goisses, LV 1996 Yjar, the new wine by oenologist-winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, was definitely one of the wines of the tasting. Brand new to the Place, and the first Rioja, it is a 3.8-hectare single-vineyard cuvu00e9e from the foothills of the Sierra de Tolou00f1o in Rioja Alavesa, and made from a m al selection of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Granegro and Rojal. The inaugural vintage will consist of just over 7,000 bottles, with a recommended retail price of approximately u20ac120. Philipponnat has also become the first Champagne house on the Place this year, and is releasing two acclaimed vintages of Clos des Goisses: the 2012 and 1996. The '96 is part of the house's strategy to release a 25-year-old wine each year, a policy that began three years ago with the 1992 and 1993 vintages. Given the limited production of fewer than 50,000 bottles annually from the 5.38-hectare vineyard, the move is not to 'fix a problem with sales' but to 'have more people looking after it', says Thomas Jorez, export director Champagne Philipponnat. 'We thought working with the Place would make a great partnership, to have the wines more finely distributed and spread more evenly around the world giving each bottle more visibility,' Jorez says. He says 'it's a complimentary way of working' and a 'next step', also emphasising that allocations with existing partners would remain. On the horizon for 2022 It's expected that Philipponnat's Clos des Goisses Juste Rosu00e9 and Les Cintres, a single-bottling made from a plot within the Clos des Goisses vineyard, will also enter the Place next year. There is also set to be a new Jim Barry wine, The James, which is a Cabernet/Malbec blend named in honour of the estate's founder. In some ways, the growing roster of labels sold via the Place is also being guided by a fine wine market that continues to broaden. Importers are looking to purchase wines from smaller regions or lesser-known producers while still using the system. 'We're looking for wines that are already known or wines from the categories where there is demand,' says Prats. Thirst for Italian wines has seen Sicily, Brunello di Montalcino and Piedmont find representation alongside SuperTuscans in recent years, for instance.

Released via the Bordeaux Place for the first time in 2021: [subscriber-content] Australia Penfolds, Bin 169, Australia Chile Santa Rita, Casa Real Reserva Especial, Maipo Alto France Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses, Champagne Italy CastelGiocondo, Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino Petrolo Bu00f2ggina C Riserva, Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC Giordo la Quinta, Tuscany Spain Telmo Rodriguez, Yjar, Rioja Alvasia USA Beaux Fru00e8res, Oru00e9gon Peter Michael Les Pavots, Sonoma Why do wineries want to sell via the Place de Bordeaux? For wineries, the lure of Bordeauxu2019s well-honed, global distribution network offers the prospect of a higher profile and a bigger physical presence in retail, in restaurants and bars and in new markets in general. Alongside the names listed above, the collection also features top SuperTuscan wine Ornellaia, Californian's Inglenook, Cardinale and Promontory (Harlan), plus and Chilean fine wines Seu00f1a and Santa Rita. This means there is, by proxy, an approved seal of quality for any new wines joining the mix. u2018The ociation on the Place gives a brand credit to be there, they wonu2019t take a wine unless it has merit,u2019 says Sam Barry, third-generation winemaker at Jim Barry, whose second vintage of The Armagh Shiraz (2017) will be sold via the Place this month. Accounting for only 0.5% of overall production, Barry says the amount of wine released via the Place u2018wasnu2019t a driver commerciallyu2019 but was more to u2018have a far greater reach and more customers being able to access Armagh.' He adds, 'Even the visibility of being on the Place, it opens you up to areas that prior you couldn't.u2019 As well as giving wineries a bigger choice of which markets to target, producers can also exclude markets or remove airlines, cruise ships, on-trade establishments and even online retailers from the pool of potential buyers via the Place. Many of the US wines, for instance, won't use the Place to sell within the USA or to Mexico, Canada and Central American markets. Other wineries can remove markets where they already have a solid presence. M eto, for instance, has restrictions on sales in Italy, USA and Canada, as does Wynns John Riddock for Australia, New Zealand and the Scandinavian monopolies. Coonawarra's Wynns will offer a portion of its John Riddoch 2018 via the Place de Bordeaux this month, and winemaker Sue Hodder said she has seen u00a0a marked increase in availability of the wine since launching on the Place last year. u2018There's so many more listings for John Riddoch in different countries than there were this time last year. Itu2019s good to be able to show our history, ageability and story that is a culmination of our endeavours.u2019 More about this year's releases Among the Napa Valley listings this year is the third release of Quintessa, the 2018 vintage, and the wine was presented in Bordeaux in person by estate director Rodrigo Soto. u2018Itu2019s very exciting times for us, not only learning this system which is quite foreign to us but at the same itu2019s an honour for us to be part of the u201cexclusive group of producersu201d and trying to go international,' he says. California has been enjoying a strong period on the fine wine market in general, and several UK-based merchants and ysts have noted how more wineries were looking to expand their international reach. Given the strength of the US market, Soto emphasises that itu2019s not a financial objective but rather a u2018long-term vision for positioningu2019. u2018The objective is to make this estate an international brand and replicate the work that took us 30 years in the US to do. [It's about] growing our model a little bit, hopefully getting a few cases out of the US and diversifying our business.u2019 With an average production of 120,000 bottles, Bordeaux nu00e9gociants will get an allocation of 600 cases, 7,000 bottles, of Quintessa 2018. 'We feel like weu2019re starting from scratch this year as last year we couldnu2019t be in Bordeaux,' Soto says. 'Weu2019re learning discipline, approach to market, comparison with other new world producers who are in a better position as they have done the work for the last 10-15 years.u2019 Closer to home September is also becoming a time to watch for a handful of top Bordeaux labels. This year sees new, ex-cellar stocks of Latour 2005, while Chu00e2teau Palmer will release more of its 2011 vintage on 23 September. Palmer began a new '10 years on' strategy last year. From the Rhu00f4ne, Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel also has its Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape 2019, Coudoulet 2019, Blanc 2020 and Vieilles Vignes 2020 coming out, alongside the Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin 2019. In Sauternes, Chu00e2teau d'Yquem has changed its release schedule. The Yquem 2019 vintage had been expected this autumn but is now set to be released in March 2022, Liv-ex said this week. Which vintages are being released? Unlike the single-year focus of Bordeaux en primeur, buyers will have to navigate eight different vintages from producers spread around the world. Standout, successful vintages include Napa Valley 2018, a vintage described as u2018a winemaker's dreamu2019 by Trevor Durling, winemaker at Beaulieu Vineyard. Its Georges de Latour Private Reserve 2018 is launching this month. Brunello di Montalcino's five-star 2016 vintage is also represented in this year's releases. Italy expert Michaela Morris recently said in her report for Decanter,u00a0'When a vintage like this comes along, producers rightly revel in it. And with so many impressive wines, Brunello-lovers should absolutely buy up!'. Chu00e2teau Palmer 2011 is an example of a wine from a more challenging vintage in Margaux, and it was the estate's smallest crop since 1961. But CEO Thomas Duroux said the wine should be u2018a fabulous surprise for people who have the chance to taste it now', because it was u2018somewhat swept under the carpetu2019 following the renowned 2009 and 2010 vintages. Roughly speaking, releases can be split into the following: Italy - Tuscany, Bolgheri and Sicily 2018 and 2019 | Brunello 2015, 2016, 2017 Chile and Argentina - 2018 and 2019 Australia - Coonawarra, Margaret River and Clare Valley 2017, 2018 and 2019 USA - California's Napa Valley 2015 and 2018 plus Paso Robles 2019 | Oregon 2018 France - Bordeaux 2005, 2011, 2019 and 2020 | Rhu00f4ne 2019 and 2020 [breakout] September Releases: The full list Argentina Catena Zapata, Nicolu00e1s Catena Zapata, Uco Valley, 2018 (released 1st September) Catena Zapata, Adrianna Vineyard, Mundus Bacillus Terrae, Mendoza, 2018 (not yet tasted) Cheval des Andes, Mendoza, 2018 (not yet tasted) Australia Cloudburst, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2019 Cloudburst, Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, 2018 Cloudburst, Malbec, Margaret River, 2018 Wynns Coonawarra Estate, John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, 2018 Jim Barry, The Armagh Shiraz, Clare Valley, 2017 Penfolds Coonawarra Bin 169, 2018 (not yet tasted) Chile Clos Apalta, Casa Lapostolle, Conchagua 2018 (released 31st August) (not yet tasted) Clos Apalta, Le Petit Clos, Apalta Valley, Conchagua 2018 (not yet tasted) Santa Rita Casa Real, Reserva Especial, Maipo Alto 2018 Seu00f1a, Aconcagua 2019 (released 2nd September) Seu00f1a, Vinedo Chadwick, Puente Alto 2019 (not yet tasted) France Lu2019Odysu00e9e, Vin de France, Rhu00f4ne, 2018 Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel, Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin, Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Rhu00f4ne, 2019 Chu00e2teau de Beaucastel, Hommage u00e0 Jacques Perrin, Chu00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, Rhu00f4ne, 2009 Chu00e2teau Palmer, Margaux 3u00e8me Grand Cru Cl u00e9, Bordeaux, 2011 Chu00e2teau Latour, Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Cl u00e9, Bordeaux, 2005 (not yet tasted) Chu00e2teau du2019Yquem, Y du2019Yquem, Bordeaux, 2020 (not yet tasted) Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses Extra Brut 2012, Champagne Philipponnat, Clos des Goisses Extra Brut LV 1996, Champagne Italy Alberelli di Giodo, Rosso, Etna 2019 Bibi Graetz, Bibi Graetz Colore, Toscana, 2019 Bibi Graetz, Testametta, Toscana, 2019 Caiarossa, Toscana, 2018 Castelgiacondo, Brunello di Montalcino, 2016 Castello di Fonterutoli, Concerto, Toscana, 2019 Castello di Fonterutoli, Siepi, Toscana, 2019 Fattoria Petrolo, Bu00f2ggina B, Toscana, Tuscany, Italy, 2019 Fattoria Petrolo, Bu00f2ggina C, Valdarno di Sopra Fattoria Petrolo, Galatrona, Valdarno di Sopra, 2019 Giovanni Rosso, Etna Rosso, Etna 2018 Luce della Vite, Luce, Toscana, 2018 Luce della Vite, Lucente, Toscana, 2018 Luce della Vite, Brunello di Montalcino,2016 M eto, M etino, Toscana, 2019 M eto, Toscana, 2018 Orma, Toscana, 2019 Ornellaia, Le Volte Dell'Ornellaia, Toscana 2019 Ornellaia, Le Serre Dell'Ornellaia, Bolgheri, 2018 Ornellaia, Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia, Toscana, 2019 Ornellaia, Bolgheri Superiore, 2018 Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino, 2016 Poggio Antico, Poggio Antico Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino, 2015 Podere Giodo, La Quinta, Toscana, 2019 Podere Giodo, Brunello di Montalcino, 2017 Solaia, Toscana, 2018 Tenuta Sette Ponti, Pasi di Orma, Bolgheri, 2019 South Africa Klein Constantia, Vin de Constance, Constantia, South Africa 2018 (released 1 September) Spain Divisa Nuestra Seu00f1ora de los u00c1ngeles de Tolou00f1o, Yjar, Rioja Alvesa, 2017 Uruguay Bodega Garzu00f3n, Balasto, Uruguay 2017 (not yet tasted) USA Beaulieu Vineyard, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Beaux Fru00e8res Vineyard, Beaux Fru00e8res, Willamette Valley, Oregon, 2019 (not yet tasted) Dalla Valle Vineyards, Maya, Napa Valley, 2018 Dao Family Estate, Soul of a Lion, Paso Robles, 2018 (not yet tasted) Inglenook, Rubicon, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Inglenook, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2018 Inglenook, Blancaneaux, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2019 Joseph Phelps, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2018 Joseph Phelps, Insignia, Napa Valley, 2018 Lu2019Aventure, Estate Cuvu00e9, Paso Robles Willow Creek, California, 2019 Lu2019Aventure, Optimus, Paso Robles, 2019 Lu2019Aventure, Cu00f4te u00e0 Cu00f4te, Paso Robles, California, 2019 Opus One, Napa Valley Oakville, 2018 Opus One, L'Overture, Napa Valley Oakville, NV Peter Michael, Les Pavots, Knights Valley Sonoma, 2019 (not yet tasted) Peter Michael, Au Paradis, Oakville, 2018 (not yet tasted) Promontory, Napa Valley, 2015 Quintessa, Napa Valley Rutherford, 2018 Vu00e9ritu00e9, La Joie, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) Vu00e9ritu00e9, La Muse, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) Vu00e9ritu00e9, Le Du00e9sir, Sonoma County, California, 2018 (not yet tasted) [/breakout] Tasting the September releases in Bordeaux A number of special pre-release tastings were held in Bordeaux in the run-up to September. Many of the wines below were tasted at Maison Joanne, under its new division, Joanne Rare Wines, dedicated solely to the new international offerings. Headed by general manager Jean-Quentin Prats, this is designed to be a u2018dedicated and handcrafted serviceu2019 for wines from other, non-Bordeaux regions around the world. u2018Weu2019re brand building and we want wineries to trust the nu00e9gociants to sell their wines,' Prats says. 'Also, if you work with Bordeaux nu00e9gociants you have access to a global network of clients and we can give transparency on where the wine goes.' Maison Joanne alone has more than 1,000 clients around the world, including 300 in mainland China. With the other nu00e9gociants, the Place counts more than 10,000 business-to-business clients and an unrivalled sales reach. The benefits of consolidated shipments for orders of multiple wines, and a trusted logistics process, has given extra clout to the system - particularly amid the recent uncertainty surrounding shipping due to Brexit, Covid and government restrictions. u2018We are trying more and more to establish September as a key moment for the release of great wines of the world,' says Prats. u2018More than ever our wish is to give comfortable access to large collections of fine wines to distributors around the world in the best conditions possibleu2019. Stand out wines include: Jim Barry, The Armagh Shiraz 2017 Bibi Graetz, Colore 2019 PoggioAntico 2016 M eto 2018 Promontory 2015 Cloudburst Chardonnay 2019 Klein Constantia, Vin de Constance 2018 And two of the new releases: Yjar 2017 Clos des Goisses, LV 1996 Yjar, the new wine by oenologist-winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, was definitely one of the wines of the tasting. Brand new to the Place, and the first Rioja, it is a 3.8-hectare single-vineyard cuvu00e9e from the foothills of the Sierra de Tolou00f1o in Rioja Alavesa, and made from a m al selection of Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Granegro and Rojal. The inaugural vintage will consist of just over 7,000 bottles, with a recommended retail price of approximately u20ac120. Philipponnat has also become the first Champagne house on the Place this year, and is releasing two acclaimed vintages of Clos des Goisses: the 2012 and 1996. The '96 is part of the house's strategy to release a 25-year-old wine each year, a policy that began three years ago with the 1992 and 1993 vintages. Given the limited production of fewer than 50,000 bottles annually from the 5.38-hectare vineyard, the move is not to 'fix a problem with sales' but to 'have more people looking after it', says Thomas Jorez, export director Champagne Philipponnat. 'We thought working with the Place would make a great partnership, to have the wines more finely distributed and spread more evenly around the world giving each bottle more visibility,' Jorez says. He says 'it's a complimentary way of working' and a 'next step', also emphasising that allocations with existing partners would remain. On the horizon for 2022 It's expected that Philipponnat's Clos des Goisses Juste Rosu00e9 and Les Cintres, a single-bottling made from a plot within the Clos des Goisses vineyard, will also enter the Place next year. There is also set to be a new Jim Barry wine, The James, which is a Cabernet/Malbec blend named in honour of the estate's founder. In some ways, the growing roster of labels sold via the Place is also being guided by a fine wine market that continues to broaden. Importers are looking to purchase wines from smaller regions or lesser-known producers while still using the system. 'We're looking for wines that are already known or wines from the categories where there is demand,' says Prats. Thirst for Italian wines has seen Sicily, Brunello di Montalcino and Piedmont find representation alongside SuperTuscans in recent years, for instance.
