Systems, sourcing, and distribution excellence across the 67 Pall Mall group.
Last autumn/spring, I was invited on Tim Wildman MW's final James Busby Travel trip, serendipitously coinciding with the announcement of 67 Pall Mall Melbourne!
It was the experience of a lifetime, and I made an attempt to pass on a little of what I learned in our Members' newsletter. Thanks to Guy Woodward for the opportunity to proselytise.

As our entire global wine industry goes through a much needed (necessary) reboot, it’s not only the the foundations of geographic “places” that need to be evaluated, but every idea and idealogy that impacts the trade.
What needs to be rebooted? (Not a complete list of necessarily in this order nor all having requirement for regulatory consideration);
1) Focal points of elitism in AVA/Appelation Systems;
2) Marketing and authenticity in advertising ethics considerations (as the new consumer smells a rat faster than you can say “Reserve” of “Made in France” or “Napa”)
3) #subsidy considerations on the impact of supply imbalances internationally;
4) #Internationaltradepolicy and the concepts of “free and fair trade”
….among many other topics (please suggest in comments)

Alexandre de Lur Saluces may have hated his inclusion (indeed the existence) of the book Noble Rot, which told the story of the hostile takeover of one of Bordeaux’s most revered and ancient estates, but it did a huge amount to stir interest again in a wine appellation that has been in danger over the past century of being eclipsed by shinier names.
Few people did as much to shine a light on Sauternes as Lur Saluces, who died on July 24, 2023, at the age of 89. He was a passionate defender of this stubbornly masochistic style of winemaking, where the noble rot ensures grapes with tiny yields that have to be treated entirely by hand, and the vagaries of the weather mean entire vintages are regularly under threat.
From the time he took over from his uncle Bernard de Lur Saluces at Château dYquem in 1968, until his last moments at Château de Fargues in 2023, he did everything possible to uphold the importance of not only his own family estates but the appellation of Sauternes and Bordeaux itself.
For 36 years he was the director – always the epitome of elegance, with a perfect suit and tie that could give Michael Broadbent a run for his money – of Yquem, the 1855 classification’s only Premier Cru Supérieur, or First Growth Superior, that had been in his family since 1785. His son Philippe de Lur Saluces remembers how the Hungarian-born London importer Akos Forczek once boasted to him ‘Alexandre, we had a Suduiraut ‘28 yeserday, it was amazing!’. ‘My father simply replied, conspicuously unimpressed: ‘1928? Oh… ‘ with a clear emphasis on nineteen. He was one of the very few men who could seriously pull off this joke’.

Why Ventoux will become one of the great appellations of the Southern Rhône
Le Ventoux, a land of the future? Emmanuel Perrin
Boasting the coolest climate in the south of the Rhône Valley and preserved landscapes, the Ventoux vineyard is popular. In recent years, the establishment of ambitious winegrowers and the rise of white wines have been the talk of the town.
In the Ventoux appellation, in just 4 years, the production of white wines has increased by more than a third of its initial volumes. And more than 12% of this 5,500 hectare vineyard is already planted with white grape varieties. It must be said that the combination of limestone terroir and cool climate favors the production of a color that many vineyards in the southern zone envy in Ventoux. “Benefiting from this freshness and such thermal amplitudes, due to the proximity of Mont Ventoux, allows us to have more sparkling whites and with better acidity. In addition, our ampelographic richness, with the Grenache Blanc, Clairette but also Roussanne, Viognier, Vermentino, Bourboulenc, etc. grape varieties, constitutes a formidable toolbox for creating wide ranges in a territory that lends itself to it,” explains Frédéric. Chaudière, winemaker at Château Pesquié and president of the AOC Ventoux.
