From the finest slice of Puligny's large Folatieres 1er Cru, on the steepest sloped section of the vineyard where the soils are stony and pour and the exposure almost due south. You'll taste the sunshine here in richly... Read More
I believe the technical tasting note for this wine, as approved by all the most serious wine writers, is: Hubba Hubba. There’s this thing white Burgundy winemakers do where they let the wine sit in the barrel on what’s... Read More
One of the most wildly delicious and complex not dry wines we know of. You can call it sweet if you like and it will certainly do magic with an apricot upside-down cake. But we'll be drinking our bottles before dinner (or... Read More
A stunning white to enjoy with rich food – cassoulet, wild birds, lobster – or even a fresh chevre. It’s 50% Gros Manseng, 35% Petit Manseng and 15% Petit Courbu fermented in wood, although you’ll only... Read More

A really well-made Bordeaux bargain here in the form of a 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend aged in oak and steel. The aromas show brambly cherry/currant fruit with a touch of smoky oak spice. Classically structured on the... Read More
Topline: This is crazy delicious Pinot Noir and very fine red Burgundy that's seriously under-priced. Grab it before the market catches on. Caroline Fyot and Alexia Russo created this small estate in Mercurey in 2018 and make... Read More

A vibrant, juicy, Sauvignon – 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sauvignon Gris, the reddish-hued mutation of white Sauvignon. Nicely concentrated and ripe, this is all about energy from the bold aromas to driving flavors of lemon... Read More
Organic/Bio Cyriaque Rozier’s day job is making the outstanding Languedoc wines of Ch La Roque, but his weekend and evening passion are his small plots of vines near Pic Saint-Loup. Here he’s working with a plot of... Read More

One of the finest values in the shop, this is “the black wine” of Cahors at its most friendly and fun-loving. Around 85% Malbec and 15% Merlot given 18 months in concrete, it’s loaded with juicy black cherry,... Read More
An excellent take on old-fashioned Bordeaux, clean and fresh like a modern wine but also stylishly austere and restrained. The 30-50 year old Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%) vines are mainly on clay/limestone soils but with... Read More
