A wine plenty of fruit with well integrated structure. This full round wine is very long and charming.

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.

Outstanding Santenay Blanc from the growers with the oldest vines in the appellation.

"Some earthy savoury spice on the nose. Intriguing. Big and broad. Sumptuous cocoa powder like tannins. Fruit, complete, delicious. Acid and alcohol both in check. Will continue to age gracefully, but absolutely delicious now."

An elegant and refined white burgundy wine with delicate floral aromas and a beautifully balanced mineral finish. Pernand-Vergelesses is a small village nestled below the famous limestone Corton hill, known for the prestigious appellation of Corton-Charlemagne. Producing wonderfully mineral and fruit balanced wines, Pernand-Vergelesses offers great value and this old vines example from Vincent Girardin is simply lovely.

A lighter purple, this vineyard is never powerful. An elegant lifted strawberry note, medium bodied, graceful.

This Premier Cru wine originates from `Les Beaux Monts`, a lieu-dit where Dujac owns a 0.72-hectare parcel. The 2021 vintage displays delightful notes of red berries, plums, vine smoke, exotic spices, and bergamot. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a supple and sensual experience, featuring a fleshy core of perfumed fruit harmoniously framed by melting tannins.

Malconsorts is considered by many as equal in quality, and certainly as in-demand, as most grands crus, and you’ll be hard pushed to find a finer example than Dujac’s. The Domaine Dujac's Vosne-Romanée premier cru comes from one of the appellation's best known climats, Aux Malconsorts. The bouquet is expressive, complex and fresh, with aromas of red and black berries, spices and violet. In the mouth, the wine is delicate and smooth, the fruit is prominent but not overbearing, the tannins are silky and the overall balance perfect. The very persistent finish is remarkably pure and elegant. This great wine really requires fairly long cellaring before it can express its full complexity.

Le Finage, which means territory, is the name given to this wine from different Marsannay plots. The vines grow on several clay-limestone soils, producing a fully rounded wine, in which you will find energetic tannins, fruity aromas (raspberry), and spices. Consistency and freshness mark the finish of this perfect ambassador for the appellation. We recommend drinking this wine during its dynamic first 5 years, but it can be kept for longer. It may be necessary to decant certain vintages in their first few years. Depending on the vintage, we use 50% whole-bunch fermentation. The wine is aged for about 12 months in barrels (with 15% of new barrels) and 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Lovely minerality and creaminess combine in this classic white Burgundy.Great concentration for a Rully, with spicy oak influence.

To quote Allen Meadows; ‘the quality of these wines is nothing short of phenomenal compared to the usual quality of the respective appellations’. Claude Marechal makes his wines as naturally as possible, taking his inspiration from his late friend Henri Jayer who he trained with early in his career. In common with Jayer he makes wines above and beyond the expectations of his terroirs. His wines are pure and sleek with vibrant fruit and great potential to age. In the vineyard ripeness is the watchword and the vines are maintained in order to maximise phenolic maturity every vintage whatever the conditions. No chemical fertilisers are used and the harvest is hand picked each vintage, Claude says he is usually the last in each appellation to pick which shows on the ripe fruited nature of his wines. After harvest the bunches are sorted by hand and gently de-stemmed before vinification using natural yeasts. The fermenting must is pumped over twice daily and once alcoholic fermentation is finished the wines are placed into oak barrels where they mature for between 10 and 15 months. From tastings of back vintages at the domaine it is clear these are wines that are built to age well. Claude has not changed his prices for the 2021 vintage.

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.

Since the addition of the excellent Brochon vineyards in 2020, what was already a very good wine is now an excellent one, perhaps with a little more grip and structure than in the past, without losing that classic Leroux purity and accessibility. The nose is pure Gevrey; chalky red berry fruits, a floral touch and a twist of spice. The palate is juicy with waves of succulent red berry fruit and a refreshing limestone finish. Drink 2024-2032.

Remi Jeanniard is the 'real deal' and a treasure for the Burgundy lover. An under-the-radar producer making fantastic wines in the heart of Burgundy's greatest vineyards. And they are affordable. "Fruit compote on the nose. Big and juicy. Quite charming and floral at the same time. A lot of structure, creamy towards the finish.."

Expressive nose - cream, lees, baked lemons. Layered, phenolic grip on the palate. Youthful, fruity, and yeasty with bright acidity and a juicy finish. This estate gets better and better and I was impressed by the relative value owner and winemaker Chlotilde still offers.

Intense dried fruit aromas combine with forestal notes of anise and chlorophyll. Firm mouthfeel with a touch of tannin that gives body and texture. Enclosed by drystone walls on three sides and backing steeply onto the Montagne de Beaune, Clos des Monsnières offers a beautiful panorama of Pommard and the Côte. Quite shallow clay-limestone soils over ironstone gravel enable Chardonnay to ripen slowly.

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The nose of the the blended Morey premier cru from domaine parcels has pronounced and nuanced aromas of blackberry and raspberry fruit with a suggestion of spice and earth. There is a slight hint of reduction that should disappear at bottling, and the texture is pleasantly round and silky soft. The grapes come from a blend of lieux-dits that include Les Charrieres, Les Millandes, Les Ruchots, and Clos Sorbè; the total surface area is 0.82 hectares, all picked 27 - 28 September. Drinking Window: 2025-2045. (Nov 2022)"

Really delightful wine from a top vineyard site in Santenay village, made from very old vines. Santenay is a bit tucked away from the better known Burgundy villages and the wines are well worth checking out. We think Sam and Lenaic Legros make the best red Santenay of all the producers, picking late and making heady, dark and voluptuous wines that put a smile on your face. Top class Pinot Noir that lovers of good Burgundy will like but also people who like New World Pinots too.

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.

Jasper Morris MW87-90/100 Also quite a pale colour. The bouquet is a little more pronounced in fresh raspberry fruit, pleasing rather than massive. Very stylish, with a good fruit acid balance. A fine and balanced Savigny without rusticity. Drink 2024 - 2028 Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (January 2023)

Alain Geoffroy's estate produces this old vine premier cru from the Beauroy vineyard, accepted as one of the region's best. This is a very classic style, with aromas of white flowers, tinged with honey and lemon and a rich, rounded palate with those benchmark flinty notes.

Red Declicious apple come clothed in a berryish, fruity guise. The smooth, rounded palate also homes in on Red Delicious ripeness, layering rich fruit onto berry charm and citrus brightness. This wine is easy, generous, bold and fruity, with a dry finish. Anne Krebiehl MW 90/100

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.

Remi Jeanniard is a hands on grower working just over 7 hectares of vines in and around Morey-St Denis. When asked who helps him at harvest time, the answer is simple: he does. The vines are much older than average, with all of his Vieilles Vignes village bottlings being at least 50 years old. This gives a natural concentration to the wines which are both well structured and elegant. Remi is a firm believer that wines are made in the vineyard and this shows through in the pure, concentrated style of the wines and the cautious use of new oak. Remi practices partial whole bunch fermentation, keeping 20% of the stems for Villages wines, 30% for 1er Cru wines, and 50% for Grand Cru.

Benjamin was able to keep the lees after racking as they were so pure and continue to nourish the wine. Very pale in colour. There is plenty of energy here, lemon infused up front, just the right flesh behind, with a long, agile finish.

Refined and mellow mouth, full of honey and candied mirabelle aromas. Nice acidity, rich and complex, it has a characteristic hint of minerality.

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.

"Vivid purple. Ripe, slightly confected cherry. Ooof. Pretty good value. Gentle tannin, but still a good bit of grip. Pretty tasty for the price. Maybe 4-5 years ageability."

Clos Saint-Denis is a Grand Cru vineyard within the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. This small Grand Cru of 6.6ha in fact gave its name to the village of Morey-Saint-Denis in which it is located. The name is a reference to the martyred Saint-Denis de Vergy who founded the monastic order which first planted this vineyard between the 11th and 13th centuries. The rocky clay-limestone soil and sun-catching easterly exposure of Clos Saint-Denis produces Pinot Noirs which are relatively light in structure (the are not quite so firmly structured as its Grand Cru twin, Clos de la Roche, for example), but with finely nuanced aromatics and seductive Pinot fruit. The main landowners in Clos Saint-Denis are Domaine Dujac and Domaine Georges Lignier.

A delicious Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's lesser known but fantastic appellations - Maranges. The vines for this wine date back to 1945 and create a wine that is concentrated with a deep, rich colour and wonderful expressive fruit flavours. The grapes are allowed to ripen to maturity before harvest to obtain the softest possible tannins. Drinking superbly now and can also age for many years to come. Perfect with turkey, game and even beef. We have been working with the Legros brothers Sam and Lenaic since, well, for as long as we can remember, at least 25 years. Their vines are very old and seem to enjoy life on the upper slopes of Santenay and Maranges, protected from the worst excesses of the climate by limestone cliffs and woodland. They harvest late to offer ripeness and richness, a hedonistic style that is irresistible to us and many customers.
