Domaine Rolly-Gassmann
Rolly-Gassmann is a domaine like no other and has a unique style. It is located at Rorschwihr, a sleepy village on the northern rim of Haut-Rhin. The vineyards are located in Rorschwihr and the neighbouring Rodern and Bergheim. The wines are small masterpieces with very good definition. They all carry the signature of Rolly-Gassmann, a certain shameless, velvety sweetness. The fruit is rich and manages to balance the fruit with a vibrant acidity to form wines that melt on the palate.

Domaine des Escaravailles
Escaravailles rare top end white we are very lucky to see an allocation of. Even with a hot, short vintage Madeline has produced a very fine, elegant, juicy long and fine Rhone wine. Domaine des Escaravailles is a highly regarded family estate based in Rasteau, named after the Occitan word for the scarab beetle (the symbol on their labels). The Ferran family farms organically, with vineyards on the elevated hills around Rasteau. The altitude helps to provide cooler night time temperatures and breezes that help give the wines their elegance. 'La Galopine' comes from small parcels around the estate at around 400m altitude, on marl soils in the Combe de l’Eoune area. The grapes are hand harvested, sorted, and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in a combination of amphora, French oak barrels and demi-muids, giving texture while preserving freshness. There is currently no permitted white wine in the Rasteau appellation, so the white wines carry the Cotes du Rhone appellation instead. This is an injustuice that will be remedied soon, as the white wines of Rasteau can be sensational.

Champagne Joseph Perrier
A new cuvée for 2020 from our favourite Champagne House, and created by new MD Benjamin Fourmon who says, 'from the start I set out to create an extra-pure, sugar-free and very expressive champagne.

Reserve wines constitute 24% of the blend, Dosage 0 g/l. Disgorged '2020'.

Domaine Jean-Pierre Seve
Vines of average age 40 years. It is important to understand the subsoil and originality of the different parcels that make up the cuvée ‘Terroir’, seeking to be above all the full expression of Chardonnay. On the palate is developed the freshness of minerality peculiar to Pouilly-Fuissé.

Domaine Vendome
100% Viognier from Les Méjeans next to the winery on mix of kaolin white clay, argile calcaire and also decayed granite just above where the northern boundary of Crozes-Hermitage dips southward on the map, but the elevation remains high at 350m in between Gervans and Larnage, just a little to the north. Hand harvested in early morning, steel vat fermented at 18°C, raised 9 months, malo blocked. What a lovely wine from a unique, interesting terroir. A quite serious but relaxed and lovely, aromatic, floral, juicy but bright drinking Viognier with a gentle, gorgeous creaminess on the finish. Delicious as an apero or with semi hard goats cheese, peaches and charcuterie. A classy drop indeed.

Chateau Guiraud
CWM Rating: First Class! 53% Sémillon 47% Sauvignon Blanc This second dry white of the famous 1st growth Sauternes Chateau offers a good value proposition with good palate intensity, fresh wet stone minerality and a long pleasant finish. Notes of grapefruit, fresh grass, peach and apricot show the harmony between the citric fruit of Sauvignon and the ripe stone fruit of Semillon. A really good example of modern dry white Bordeaux; more textured and substantial than a straightforward Sauvignon Blanc, with Sémillon providing weight and creaminess and Sauvignon bringing citrus, aromatic lift and freshness.

Domaine Christian Bellang
Superbly elegant Meursault. Nothing thick or cloying to this wine. Brioche and vanilla on the nose and palate. Gentle layer of lemon hovering over events with a sliver of oak making up an incredibly structured wine. Lovely texture.

Domaine Noël et Jean-Luc Raimbault
Exemplary Sancerre which we import directly from the Loire Valley ourselves. Linear, mineral driven, citrussy, with a slight herbal edge, and a tangy finish. Everything you could possibly want in a glass. The Raimbault family hail from Sury-en-Vaux, a village encircled by vineyards on the hillsides north-west of Sancerre. In the past they had been coopers, producing oak barrels for the winemakers that surrounded them, tending to their flock of goats, from which they made the local cheese (Crottin de Chavignol), as well as a small parcel of vines. Cheese made more money than wine then, but with the proceeds of their business, they slowly began to expand these holdings. In time, the brothers Noël and Jean-Luc began commercially vinifying their grapes, the domaine’s vineyards currently stretching to 13 hectares and planted to the traditional varieties of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. They have vines across the three major terroirs of Sancerre; Terres Blanche (clay-limestone Kimmeridgian marls), Caillotes (soil rich with Oxfordian limestone pebbles), and so-called Silex (soil rich in flint and chert nodules from the Cretaceous). Their viticulture is characterised by a growing sense of environmental responsibility, moving away from the use of chemical weedkillers, and trying to contain soil erosion through co-plantation and by encouraging local flora and hedgerows. They have been awarded HVE status in recognition of these systematic efforts. Raimbault produces two Pinot Noir bottlings and a Pinot Noir rosé, along with a single white Sancerre cuvee from a blend of the three terroirs. Balanced by these varying soil characters, this is a consummate, flinty and citrus edged Sancerre that was lauded by a Decanter panel tasting as the best value of the entire appellation! This is a wine that pairs extraordinarily well with the local goat’s cheese; it’s almost like it was the family heritage.

Domaine Alain Gras
Perhaps the best known vineyard in the Saint Romain appellation, this shows a little oak on the nose with very good concentration and flashes of citrus. The palate too shows some toastiness with a sweet frame and the whole is very juicy with good energy. Long and concentrated with a silky finish. Alain Gras is the reference point for St-Romain. This extremely steep village was considered part of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune until 1947. The vineyards are set back from the main Côte and mostly at higher elevation and have unquestionably improved in quality by the changes in climate and no longer struggle to reach full physiological maturity. The domaine covers 12 hectares with 8ha being planted with Chardonnay and 4ha to Pinot Noir. There are 42 separate parcels but Alain prefers to blend the grapes into one cuvée.

Dom Henri Prudhon
Very attractive nose of white orchard fruit, pears even a hint of quince and a floral note. The same on the palate but with a sweet citrus note giving added juiciness. Subtle red apple fruit, full, perfectly balanced oak. Youthful but approachable right away. Fresh and vibrant, this is delicious, and great value!

Domaine Gerard
Viognier (1984-85) from 1.1 hectare on Côte Châtillon at Condrieu, raised 50-60% 22 hl large oak barrel and 40-50% steel vat, malo completed. "fine yellow robe; the nose is very elegant, composed of peach, aniseed, white plum, has an excellent floating style, grace. This is top tack! It has much suavity of texture, with very assured persistence, is refined and gliding throughout. It’s real good Châtillon, bang on the money as it should be. It bears neat iron touches, has a pear-buttery flavour, and butter-floral late moments, a dab of petrol also. Much refinement here." Jonathan Livingstone-Learmonth

Lemon drops, peach and vanilla sweetness paired with a reductive note.

100% Chardonnay grown on limestone slopes in the best areas of the Macon. Made by the excellent Buxy cooperative, in stainless steel tanks then bottled after several months on lees. Floral and citrus notes, mouthwatering acidity and lovely long flavour. A superb introduction to White Burgundy this overdelivers for its price.

Dom. Claude Nouveau
Rich, exotic nose, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and fresh apricot characters. Bright acidity, concentrated fruit, lots of energy. Stephane Ponsard has wine in his blood. His father also has an estate in Santenay, but he and his wife now look after his father-in-law’s estate, Claude Nouveau. With a large vineyard holding in Santenay 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau, old vine plots in Maranges 1er Cru, and plenty of villages vines from both, Stephane has crafted hefty, rich, hedonistic wines in 2023.

Domaine Alain Gras
Blended from various terroirs of the appellation across just over 3 hectares, the 2022 White Saint-Romain Les Cinq Climats is a pure delight of mastery and indulgence. It's an evocative white wine, with notes of ripe fruits complemented by a slightly exotic touch, draped in beautiful freshness and, most notably, a generous mouthfeel. Its rich and opulent character makes it simply irresistible. Alain Gras is the reference point for St-Romain. This extremely steep village was considered part of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune until 1947. The vineyards are set back from the main Côte and mostly at higher elevation and have unquestionably improved in quality by the changes in climate and no longer struggle to reach full physiological maturity.

Domaine Odyssee
Natural, organic Macabeu from a beautiful vineyard in Calce, Roussillon. Grown with great care and wildly fermented and aged in old oak barrels. Floral, racy and minerally with soft texture and generous apple and apricot fruit. Just lovely. Vincent Carreras has been working in wine industry for 13 years. For nine years he worked for a winery in the south of the Roussillon, Andy Cook’s Mas Cristine and Coume del Mas. Working in the vineyard, cellar and commercial activities - the whole shebang! For four years now he has been employed by a family winery based in Maury - Clos des Vins d'Amour. Who work 25 hectares organically in the west of Roussillon. Mostly in commercial activities, but also working in the cellar. Alongside this, in 2016, Vincent started a new project - Domaine Odyssée. The 3.5ha of vineyards are in Calce and Baixas, in a heart of Roussillon. The sites are small, but unquestionably some of the most beautiful we have seen. Vincent draws on the experiences mentioned above and his time in New Zealand (2011), Argentina (2012) and Bordeaux 2011 to help fully realise what he has there in his exceptional terroir. Vincent works organically, using no weedkillers, no chemical products. He works by hand and with organic fertilizer (he is in conversion right now). He harvests his parcels by himself with friends and family. In the cellar, Vincent’s philosophy is a minimum of intervention "To keep the fruit and the terroir.". The wines are extracted gently with just a little pump over. No filtration, no fining. The only preservative is a little dose of sulphites in very low quantities at bottling "It is important for me the stabilise the wine in respect of the future customers".

Dom. Denis Pere et Fille
Very true to the terroir that gave its name to the village of Pernand-Vergelesses Domaine Denis Père et Fils: The Winemaker Christophe Denis has been at the helm since 1992. A very reliable producer in the Côte de Beaune but it is daughter Marion who is setting new standards at the domaine.

Louis Latour
Chardonnay from the northern end of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, where white Marsannay is still relatively uncommon. It combines ripe fruit with the fresh mineral character typical of the appellation. Rounded and generous, showing flavours of acacia, lemon, green apple and melon. Subtle oak adds texture without dominating the fruit. The finish is fresh, saline and mineral with impressive length. The 2023 is an excellent vintage for this wine, offering more concentration than many previous releases while retaining the freshness and minerality expected from Marsannay Blanc. It is enjoyable now but should continue to develop over the next 3–5 years.

Domaine des Escaravailles
A blend of 30% each Marsanne and Roussanne, plus 20% Grenache Blanc and Clairette, the 2025 Cotes du Rhone Blanc La Ponce is floral and spicy, with marked pear and melon aromas. It's fruit-forward and medium to full-bodied, with a plush, silky texture and a long finish redolent of anise and white pepper. 'La Ponce' is one of Domaine des Escaravailles’ more refined white Rhône cuvées, made from high-altitude vineyards around Rasteau. The estate is known for its elevated sites, which help retain freshness in the warm Southern Rhône climate. La Ponce is French for pumice, a lightweight volcanic rock found in the vineyard. The wine comes from parcels around La Ponce at approximately 340m altitude, with limestone-rich clay soils. Fermentation is carried out mainly in stainless steel, with a portion in amphora, giving purity, texture and a subtle mineral characte

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
The nose reminds of the aromas in the vineyard during flowering. It expresses delicate flowers, some fruits, never overpowering, just like a very delicate perfume. The palate follows perfectly with a delicate structure, almost aerial and lingers on for a long time. Dry finish with the classic varietal tannic structure but also a certain roundness induced by the fruity flavour of the wine. The mouth feels like soft velvet and is already so easy to enjoy. This wine will go with seafood, salads, crab, fish dishes.
