Enjoyed the article, but £50 for Coudoulet de Beaucastel 2016 raised an eyebrow (Nemo wines)? Even if well thought of that seemed a lot. Looking at the ‘wine review’ of this wine though, none of the UK merchants highlighted as sources of Coudoulet 2016 cost as much as £50 and Nemo didn’t get a mention. Several offered cases of 12 at £20 a bottle IB (£27 inc VAT), and you can buy single bottles at L&W for under £30 IB (I don’t work for Lay & Wheeler by the way). It seemed a little odd to mention a particularly expensive option when it can easily be bought for a lot less.
