Our 7th release of Ultramarine is coming soon and because of your continued support we are offering a guaranteed allocation on September 8th and 9th two days before the main release. We hope it can offer a respite, however small, in these stressful times.
The 2016 vintage reminds me quite a bit of 2012 but with a bit more polish. These are focused, serious wines which will benefit from some aging — try the blanc de noirs first if you can’t wait, or revisit the 2013s which are drinking superbly now. We have a bit more wine this vintage than in previous years so your allocation is a tiny bit larger.
In addition, we have a small number of 2012 blanc de blanc and blanc de noirs bottles to share. They are limited to one per customer and are not guaranteed. They are sold one a first come, first served basis.
We’ll have full notes and pricing in the release letter. Wishing you the best of health.
Did this go out today? I haven’t received anything. I’ve been a buyer for the last 3-4 years, but maybe it’s only to a certain group with an even longer history?
Same for me. I imagine that since '16 was the last year of the drought there’s less wine to go around than '15, and the cutoff for a guaranteed allocation is a little stricter.
