2010 Château Raymond-Lafon, Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

20th April 2018

This is a highly sentimental recommendation this week because I can precisely attribute my eternal love of Sauternes to a half bottle of 1980 Raymond-Lafon. I first tasted this elixir, back in 1987, and it affected me so much I took to carrying around a half bottle of this wine wherever I went in order […]

2016 Garten Eden, Furmint, Michael Wenzel, Rust, Burglenland, Austria

13th April 2018

Author’s note – my first in nearly twelve years of writing for this epic publication. My editor, who kindly corrects errors, typos and general idiocy every week, has pointed out that some of the prices and stockists this week might be a little inaccurate. On the basis that Newcomer Wines is the shipper, agent and […]

2016 Burgundy Report En Primeur

I am breaking with tradition this year by publishing my 2016 Burgundy Report En Primeur in a series of daily posts as opposed to in one piece of work.

Over the course of the week (8^th – 12^th January) I will, as always, taste over 1000 wines, but as my traditional Report format requires designing and proofing, and this inevitably takes time, in years gone by I usually manage to publish it the week following the tastings.

This year, any delay in publishing my thoughts might mean that it will be too late for my Members to secure the wines which they wish to purchase. This is simply because the 2016 harvest is a very short one. I will therefore publish daily updates, merchant by merchant, each evening, with my lists of unmissable wines, focussing on my QP (Qualité Prix) favourites, in which I recognise my readers set great store.

I hope that this means that you can act swiftly and take advantage of my recommendations. This also means that I will not be selling my Burgundy Report as a standalone purchase (usually priced at £20 plus VAT).

If you join matthewjukes.com as a Member you can read my Burgundy Report, under the Members only Taste posts, and also download my 2018 Piemonte Report (published in February 2018), my 2017 Bordeaux En Primeur Report (published in April 2018) and my 2018/19 100 Best Australian Wines Report (published in May 2018) as well as every other post on my website.

Matthew has been a constant thread in our successful communication, not just on wine, but all things South Australian.

When I became Agent-General, I looked at all of the things that South Australia does well. There are many. But wine is the one I decided was the most appropriate to use as our ‘flagship’. Everyone loves wine. Everyone knows wine comes from nice places. We have the best wine in Australia – and the world. Matthew Jukes is the best advocate we have.

Not only is he an independent expert and an expert on wine – especially South Australian wine – he is also a brilliant communicator and an all-round good bloke. He features regularly as the star of our South Australia Club events and has become a key factor in its success. We love him.
