90 years Carignan on blackschistous marl. Aged for 20 months in barrels. Outstanding wine. JanicsRobinson.com 18/20: "This tastes of wild strawberries and forest mushrooms, caraway and fennel seeds. There is a daub of farmyard, but only enough to bring tang and animal warmth. White pepper woven into the delicate sweetness of the fruit. Not attention-seeking, but if you don’t give this wine your whole attention, you’ve lost something priceless. This is a Carignan in a million. (TC)" Rosemary George (2016 Vintage) "Pure Carignan. The vines are over ninety years old, grown on black schist and the wine is aged for 20 months in old oak barrels. Quite a deep colour. An initial natural edge on both the nose and palate, which disappears with air. Fresh red fruit on the nose and on the palate, it is quite tannic and structured, with an initial dryness. However, the wine evolves in the glass and the ripe fruit comes to the fore, with an elegant finish. 12.5°. One of those wines that keeps you guessing.

Energy is a word used a lot by the finest Roussillon growers. We don't think there has been a finer example than this extraordinary wine from the freres Danjou. Syrah from the Roussillon coming in at 11.5% abv. ANOTHER extraordinary wine. Don't miss.

A blend of Genache Blanc, Gris and Noir, from ancient 90 year old vines, this is beautiful, racy, elegant wine that is softly textured and very ‘modern’ in its freshness and balance.

100% Carignan from 80 year old vines. Complex floral aromas. On the palate the fruits, such as raspberry and morello cherry, are crunchy and fresh. There is also a very strong stony/mineral feeling. The finish is long and pure. A vibrant wine.

100% Grenache from 120+ year old vines. Complex floral aromas. On the palate the fruits, such as raspberry and morello cherry, are crunchy and fresh. There is also a very strong stony/mineral feeling. The finish is long and pure. A vibrant wine.

"Fine perfume and white flowers on the nose, with a delicate crushed rock aspect. The palate has an adroit, linear build, with a crunchiness of fruit and a rigorous backbone of acidity. This is mineral-driven, with a lovely saline precision. Only eight barrels were made, two of which were new. " Domaine Jacques Prieur, owned by the Labruyère family, has perhaps the most exceptional holdings of any domaine in Burgundy. Organic, Biodynamic.

This is Fiona Leroy's first vintage in Burgundy and what a first showing this is. Fiona approaches winemaking from a 'common sense' standpoint, that means all vineyards are managed organically. Part of the approach chez Fiona Leroy involves manual work and no new oak barrels. These wines are only going to go up in price as people catch on. So enjoy it now at a sensible price.

Saint Veran Domaine de la Croix Senaillet is a truly magnificent example of Maconnais Chardonnay from one of the area’s leading producers. It is a fleshy wine with vibrant lemon notes, apple and floral aromas all would round a fresh mineral finish. It’s posh enough for special occasions but affordable enough for Wednesday nights. Since the early 1990’s, brothers Richard and Stéphane Martin have been farming this Domaine along strict organic principals. They have grown their holdings from 6 to 25 hectares in that time with the majority in the Davaye commune. Their wines offer tremendous value from a region that is seeing prices escalate. Their attention to detail and quality is quite something to behold and really shines through in their wines.

Simon Coulshaw makes natural wines: no cultured yeast, enzymes, chemical tannins or fining product and farming with respect to the environment, although the domaine isn't certified organic. 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan. Dark cherries and a sharp flash of cobbler's glue on the nose. Rich layers of mulberries and prune, coffee syrup, clove and burnt sugar, mushrooms and leaf mulch. You could not accuse this of simplicity, although it has more depth than length. A little brooding, a little heat, and slow to build. The tannins seem to be more spice than texture, vibrating more than gripping. If there is grip, it's in the orange pith and peel-oil on the finish. Intriguing wine... You could really climb into this. (TC) 16.5/20 jancisrobinson.com

Carignan 85% Grenache Noir 15% The old vine Carignan delivers bags of bramble and spice. Deep and rich in texture – a classic Languedoc wine in a refined style.

It's here, the 'Coulsh-Rotie". Simon "The Coulsh'" Coulshaw's fabulous take on this iconic wine. "I put this glass of wine to my nose, and had I not been firmly anchored to a chair, would have taken five steps back. The aroma swept me off my feet. Indescribable. Wild. One Thousand and One Nights distilled into a glass. Heady and exotic and riddled with rose petals and spice and coiled with riddles and one sniff of this is poetry and myth and folklore and kitchen table and campfire and someone's cigarette stubbed out at 3 am in lonely finality. Garrigue-spiced aromatics spiral through rock, plant, seed, flower with dazzling complexity. One moment it's rose petals, so delicate you could brush a baby's lips with it; the next it's hot tar, underground angry, rocks shifting deep in the cracks of the earth. This is a velvety, cocoa-dusted, amped-up-then-restrained, dark-horse beauty. Vertical, dark, slub-silk fruit with overtones of tamari and dark chocolate, crushed coffee beans and sweet forest-floor earth. Long and the kind of wine that coils around you slowly, sinuously, sensuously. Worth every penny. You'd pay three times this for a Rhône of this stature".

Westwell's Ortega Rose is fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain freshness and purity. For this Rose we’ve co-fermented with ripe Regent to add notes of bright red crunchy fruit. It has a nose of wild strawberries and honeysuckle with flavours of redcurrants, bramble fruits and a twist of white pepper on the finish. Delicious on its own or with seafood, chargrilled fish, salads or light pasta dishes. Best served chilled (8-10C).

Pelegrim means Pilgrim in middle English (circa 12th century) and recognises the history of our forbearers that walked the Pilgrim’s Way above our vineyard for centuries on their final leg to Canterbury. This wine replicates this tradition in how the grapes are grown, selected and fermented. The Pelegrim NV is a traditional bottle-fermented sparkling wine that is made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay with reserve wines from previous vintages to give further complexity and a consistent extra dry non-vintage style. The wines are lees-aged in bottle for 36 months to give depth and biscuity aromas which only bottle-fermentation can deliver.

100% Mauzac from one parcel at 300 m on a plateau of Eocene molasse (marl, sandstone, schist, pebbles). In final year of conversion to organic certification, natural cover cropping.

A very special wine. Winemaker Vincent comes from the Loire Valley so knows about Chenin from there and time making wine in South Africa. Chenin originated in the Languedoc so bringing it back is exciting. The wine is fermented in egg shaped concrete fermenting tanks, which allows better movement of liquid during and after fermentation than in stainless steel. Some barrel ageing too for texture. Well balanced with a purity of fruit enhanced by its roundness and length.. Highy recommended.

Plots older than 90 years Carignan on black schistous marl. Aged for 20 months in barrels.Notes of blueberries and spices, concentrated palate, fine and taut.

A blend of Genache Blanc, Gris and Noir, from ancient 90 year old vines, this is beautiful, racy, elegant wine that is softly textured and very ‘modern’ in its freshness and balance.

This Roboul cuvée exudes fruit aromas in abundance with blackberries, blueberries, pomegranates and also garrigue notes. On the palate it's juicy, greedy, the material is fleshy and velvety. There is a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity and we end with a striking freshness! It's a marvelous entry!

Like a great Provence, but one from an actual great terroir and not just sandy soils In the words of one customer "“You’ll be pleased to know you weren’t wrong with that Rosé (Dom. des Soulanes Cuvee Rosé 2020 Cotes du Roussillon). It is one of the best I have ever tasted and I’ve tasted a few, many with a much bigger price tag. Actually I prefer it to Garrus (£100), d’Esclans (£30). How much more have you got?”"

A wonderful, natural Rose. Produced from very old vines of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvedre (40/40/20) on ancient schist soils In Faugeres. Deep in colour, and with good presence, but certainly not a heavy style. Bright, clear red fruits with some spice and nice interest. That wonderful mineral freshness rounds things off nicely. Very complete and drinking nicely (this is a style that always benefits from the extra year in bottle). .

We've known these wines and M. Brocard for decades and trust me this VV is the pick of the bunch, better than the 1er Crus and a steal compared to the Grands Crus. 70 year old vines with 25m deep roots! Saline, anise, razor-fine. Organic. Jancis Robinson MW OBE 17/20 "Just a whiff of this is enough to get the saliva really flowing. Lovely stuff. Juicy oyster shells with a good combo of fruit and acidity. Great stuff. Long and edgy. Quite forward but no one could object to this. Very Good Value"

From vineyards that share the same Corton hillsides as many Grand Cru, this Pernand-Vergelesses epitomizes the great value still to be had from village-level Burgundy. The wine begins with aromas of high-toned cherry blossoms and raspberry preserves offset by hues of forest floor. The palate features a balance of savory red fruit, wild herbs, and tannins integrated with a vibrant and persistent acidity. Bottled unfiltered.
