2014 Sneak Peak
Hello again everyone.
At Maison Ilan, we pride ourselves on doing things the "old fashioned’ way. Of course, as time marches on, things certainly can benefit from a bit of change here and there. With this in mind, Maison Ilan’s next official offer, for the 2014 vintage, will be offered on our eCommerce site. The site should be up in August, with a new home site to arrive shortly thereafter.This new eCommerce will not only allow everyone to view and purchase allocations; track orders/shipments; and get a more in-depth look beind the scenes of Maison Ilan. The site will additionally provide detail directly from us on each of the wines we have produced, as well as our latest impressions of them.
Allocations are something that we have been flexible about since our first vintage. It was our goal to allow clients to set their own allocations without worry of being dropped from the list or to lose their place, so to speak. 2014 will mark our SIXTH vintage release. With the upcoming changes taking place with our ordering process, there will be changes coming to the allocation system as well. Allocations will now be formed by a variety of factors, including but not limited to ordering history. Specific wines will have individual allocation formulas as well. As before, no one will be dropped from our list for not purchasing. Though we will modify your allocation to correspond to your personal drinking preferences.
These wines are currently in barrel and will remain in barrel until we believe them to be ready. It is our goal to not have wines leave their barrels before they are ready. As always, each of the wines leaving our cellar doors are first brought in as grapes. We feel it to be our responsibility to respect their evolution through a watchful eye rather than sheer guidance. There are many wineries in the World affording wine lovers quite a wide range of choices. It is an honor to have your support of our winery as we do things just a bit differently. We believe it to be important for those that are buying our wines to understand that we wish the best for our wines which then provides the best for our clients. Space is at a premium in Burgundy. This being said, we would rather buy more space to cellar our wines than rush a wine out of the door. Patience is a wine’s birthright that we fully believe in honoring.
