Domaine Romarion
Beautifully clear with green reflections. Intense nose of apricot, vine peach and rose. Very aromatic and floral. Powerful and generous on the palate with a remarkable finish, persistent, fresh and fruity. The soil, composed of chalky ‘terres blanches’, is ideal for the Viognier grape. Control of yields via optimal management of nutrition and de-budding. It spends 4 months in stainless steel vats. Batonnage on the lees to accentuate the plumpness on the palate.

Esk Valley
This is a great addition to our New Zealand range - a refreshing, crisp and succulent Pinot Gris from the ever-ebullient winemaker Gordon Russell. Apricot on the nose, and a more subtle pear with a touch of citrus to wash it down when you start drinking. It's smooth and refreshing, while also being interesting enough to want to keep coming back.

Patrick Javillier
For many years, Patrick has isolated his generic vineyards that sit on limestone for this cuvée. From these 0.75 hectares, the domaine produces an unusually complex Bourgogne Blanc, in the mould of a Puligny-Montrachet. The nose is expressive, elegant and powerful with notes of white and yellow fruits, succulent flowers and touches of toast. On the palate, the wine displays fine balance and a lovely body with crisp acidity. The same aromas are found as on the nose. This is an expressive and fresh wine with a long finish.

Patrick Javillier
From the Puligny side of the generic land, this carries 35 percent new oak and has a defined, clear Puligny style, with tight fruit and a kernel of nuttiness. Neatly made, it has substance for a Bourgogne Blanc – indeed, it’s as good as a village Puligny at other addresses.

Patrick Javillier
From Patrick Javillier's website: Terroir: Orientated south-south east the soil cover is deep with some clay. The bottom of the parcel contains a lot of rock head. This lieu-dit is located on the Volnay hill, where the soil is generally known to be quite rich with clay and little stone. Tasting notes: On the nose this wine shows character with yellow fruit aromas -pear and apple -also found in the mouth: supple and very fresh, harmonious, pleasant and persistent. It is a classic Meursault and a great wine for ageing. Serving suggestion: If the wine is consumed young, serve with shellfish, cold terrines or potted meat and white meat; after 5 to 7 years, with foie gras, blue cheese and goat's cheese.

The Les Tillets has a finesse, powerful style and matures for 18 months in new and used oak barrels. The nose is expressive with aromas of white fruit blossom, yellow and white fruit and a slight spiciness with some toast. Round, lively in the mouth, with an aromatic freshness of citrus and yellow fruit, with some nutty aromas in the end. This is a very delicate wine with a long finish and an underlying robustness and its style can be... described as between a classic Meursault and a typical Puligny-Montrachet.

Domaine Fournillon
Les Fourneaux is a Premier Cru vineyard site on the eastern edge of Chablis. The vineyard is named for its warm microclimate (fourneaux means "furnace" in French), and the Chablis wines produced here have ripe, tropical flavours alongside their intense minerality.

Chateau Rieussec
Rieussec is one of the biggest estates of Sauternes with 227 acres of vines above the Garonne River in Bordeaux. This a wonderful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The estate began in the 18th century followed by several owners. It is now owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) as of 1984. Citrus lemon, then honey, peach and apricot, with hints of mineral salinity. Aged in older oak which adds some texture but not flavour. Impressive and a very good vitnage for dry white Bordeaux.

Domaine Delhome
"I knew our terroirs very well, and knew that we could exploit them to the full. With Romain’s experience of vinifications all around the world, I was happy to launch the domaine". Gérald Delhome "This is an interesting newcomer to the ranks in the northern sector of Crozes-Hermitage, with vineyards in the communes of Crozes itself, Larnage, Gervans and Erôme. There are almost 11.5 hectares of Crozes across 20 plots, Romain is the fifth generation; his great-grandfather Flavien Delhome had vineyards, while, on his mother’s side there were vineyards under her family in the shape of Severin Habrard, so there are two old roots at play here. Father Gérald took over the domaine in 1993, and concentrated on apricots and vines, the grape harvest sent to the Cave de Tain. Son Romain came on to the domaine in 2018; he had worked locally at Gigondas and in the Ventoux at Chêne Bleu, as well as in Virginia in the USA. The cellar was built in 2019. The domaine is HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) registered, a green credential, and the 2022 harvest will be officially organic. 100% Marsanne (1950s-late-1990s) from sandy-loess soils on Les Védias at Erôme & Gervans, hand harvested, whole bunch pressing, 3-4 day pre-fermentation maceration at 6°-8°C, vinification in steel vat until 1060-1050 specific gravity, then transferred to 3-10 year 228-litre oak casks, lees stirred at the end of fermentation, raised 9-10 months. 5,500 bottles produced". Wonderfully idiosyncratic. A lovely delicacy and intricacy, one is almost unsure the varietal is Marsanne, such is its elegance. The aftertaste is really delicious and where the wine really comes into its own - savoury, saline, nutty with a note of marzipan and, oddly, a touch of aromatic hops. Brilliant from the young star Romain!

92/100 "Impressively poised nose with lightly reductive lemons and white peaches, as well as freshly cut herbs. The palate has impressive concentration and quite intense notes of fresh, grassy lemons and stone. Great poise here. A blend of 59% semillon and 41% sauvignon blanc. Drink now." James Suckling

A soft greenish yellow coloured wine of an impeccable transparency. Wild and intense, with complex fruity layers and scent. Overtones of fruits such as grapefruit, mango, pineapple, along with a tint of honey. Velvety taste with high fineness. Long lasting with pleasant elegance.

Tolpuddle
You know the calibre of the winemaking behind Tolpuddle, but the complexity of the wine defies dissection, all the components on a unity ticket of one of Tasmania’s greatest vineyards and the lighest of touches on the long, lingering palate. 97 POINTS. James Halliday Always a very good chardonnay. Often among the New World’s best. This said, it is always a pungent, flinty reductive iteration, considerably different to the more generous norm in these parts. Medium-bodied and typically taut, reeling off truffle, leesy oatmeal and white peach notes across a tautly furled, almost gritty climax of praline and hazelnut accents. This will age exceptionally well. 96 POINTS. JamesSuckling.com

Weingut Max Ferd.Richter
“The winemakers at Richter believe that great wine comes from the vineyard, not the cellar. With this in mind they strive for precision in their daily viticultural work. The challenge of cultivating vines on the steep, slate slopes of Mosel is overcome by fastidious handwork, small crop sizes, all-natural fertilizers and sustainable farming practices. Additionally, all harvesting is done by hand. Vinification starts with gentle pressing and slow temperature controlled fermentation in traditional old oak barrels (fuders). This careful, deliberate process preserves the vineyard-grown quality of the grapes, develops the unique character of the single-vineyard cuvees, and to gives Richter wines exceptional longevity.” “Racy Kabinett driven by mature tartaric acid. Very typical aromatic structure of red berries, as well as nuances of grapefruit and slate stone.” – Winery Max Ferd. Richter

Weissburgunder is the German name for the Pinot Blanc grape variety and is enjoying a rennaissance. Not much planted in the Mosel valley so this one from Richter is a rarity. Fine notes of pear, gooseberry, some hay and classic slate minerals. Slim and elegant!

Fresh, delicately fragrant nose with nuances of apple blossom; a juicy wine with a clear mineral texture. Excellent balance between aromatic fruit sweetness and racy fruit sweetness. The Mülheimer Sonnenlay is located on the former Rundeberg of the Mosel, south of Mülheim. The name Sonnenlay is a combination of Sonne and Lay, the Mosel-Franconian word for slate. This would already narrow down the main characteristics of this vineyard; Located in a western orientation, the vineyards, some of which are extremely steep, have a skeletal slate soil that is enriched with sand, stones and clay due to the former course of the Moselle river. This soil combines typical slate minerality with elegant fruit.

JP & Benoit Droin
The Droins have been producing wines in Chablis for nearly 400 years (their history as vignerons goes back at least to 1620). Benoît represents the14th generation of Droins and is one of the most dynamic winemakers in the region. His father Jean-Paul put the domaine on the map but perhaps went too far down the road of new oak barrels. The domaine owns 13 hectares of vineyards and produces 14 different wines, including Petit Chablis, Chablis, 7 Premiers Crus and 5 Grands Crus. Benoît runs a more sophisticated operation from a large modern winery almost in the shadow of the grands crus. He has revised his pruning system and significantly reduced yields. In the cellar the principal change has been away from new oak.
