Cathal McBride - Podere Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore, 2017 & Domaine du Colombier Bougros Grand Cru Chablis, 2021

"Specifically springing to mind from the Whelehans Wines portfolio is the iconic Super Tuscan Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore 2017. The second oldest estate in the unique landscape of Bolgheri, this is incredible intense but delectably finessed. While ripe for now, it will only improve in complexity over the next decade. " 

"For white, the Domaine du Colombier, Grand Cru Bougros, Chablis 2021 is a sublime example of how very lightly oaked Chardonnay can truly sing. With Flinty aromas, this is dashingly graceful and is a superb grand cru at a respectable price"
