St Aubin has got to be one of the best value wines in Burgundy. This is a full-bodied, generous and precise wine. Easily accessible, it is the perfect accompaniment for aperitifs or a simple cooked meat (charcuterie), poultry or fish dishes.

Fruity that expresses a beautiful aromatic complexity, and which presents a beautiful balance carried by a great freshness.

Deliciously rounded wine with a crisp and clean finish balanced nicely by gentle acidity.

Lovely complex nose, with notes of exotic fruits (lychee, mango) and white pepper. The mouth is full and very long. This is a wine with good freshness from lingering acidity balanced with a touch of residual sugar on the finish.

Spain is really upping its game with its delicious white wines and this high altitude cool refreshing Rueda is an excellent example. Vibrant aromas of white peach, citrus and grass. Fruity, fresh palate, really elegant.

A crisp unoaked White Rioja made from the Viura variety. Slightly lemony and beautiful with any seafood tapas.

Cortese shines here: lime, almond, crisp green apple, light herbal and grassy notes. Low alcohol, no oak, bone dry. Elegant, zesty, smart choice. It enchants with its lively freshness and aromas of white fruit and citrus, offering a refined sensory experience that reveals all the splendour of the Italian terroir.

Stellar producer, one of Italy's great family estates. Such intensity and focus. This is the 'baby version' but holds its own as a snappy, crisp ready to drink style.

Jamie Goode called Assyrtiko "Crete's answer to Chablis" and Wine & Spirits magazine have named it a 'best buy', awarding it 93 points. It's fragrant with wild aromas of meadow flower and yellow orchard fruit backed by a heavy dose of chalk minerality and green apple.

100% Marsanne from loess soils at Larnage that abut Hermitage. Vendome's name for plot is "Chapelle". Grapes are hand-harvested then destemmed, pressed, steel vat fermented until specific gravity 1040, then new 228-litre oak (steamed not toasted) cask fermented, raised 10 months, malo blocked, first year 2023, wide bottle, organic wine, 2,500 bottles produced. "Yellow robe; the nose has a walnut aroma up front, a peach, infused herbal tea backdrop, discreet cooked lemon. The palate opens with elegance, holds attractive gras, is a little locked away for now, but the quality of the gras - its relaxed nature - bodes well for the future. The length works well, is refined and sure. This is classy, serene. Decant it. 13°. 100% Marsanne. 2030-31 Oct 2024 ****(*) on Drink Rhone, John Livingstone-Learmonth "Pure Marsanne grown on loess next to the Hermitage Hill. Fermented in 500 litre new French oak, but this is steamed, not toasted. Bold pear and peach fruit with lovely density, showing richness but also freshness. Has a fine spicy dimension with beautiful weight and balance. Amazing texture to this wine". 95/100 Jamie Goode on wineanorak.com

A very special wine from ancient plants of two of the rarest and very best vines for Soualnes terroir, Grenache Gris and Carignan Gris. This really does have everything. It's floral, honeyed orchard and citrus fruits added to its sumptuousness, its layers of texture and bright but not too spiky acidity. Very long with great balance and so much interest. Divine stuff that is here in tiny quantities.

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented and aged 12 months in barrel (70%) and amphorae (30%) followed by a further six months in tank on lees. 94/100 Jane Anson "Really starting to get into its stride under the new direction of Jacques Lurton. I have always enjoyed this wine and long found it to be the one of all the Andre Lurton wines to live up to the potential of the terroir. This is full of flesh, lemongrass, lime, slate minerality, the most beautifully judged rich white peaches and powerful dried herbs. Rice and powerful, good stuff.."

50% Grenache Blanc, 40% Clairette (planted 1950) from 0.9 hectare on very stony alluvial soils at Sablet and 10% Roussanne on Gramiller at La Montagnette at Rasteau. The wine sees ferment in 80% steel vat, 20% old oak cask. Then bred for 6 months. 2,500 bottles produced. The nose is all freshly cut juicy pears and gorgeous white flowers - so pretty, utterly charming. More fruit and flowers to the palate's silky juice. This is medium-bodied, elegant and long Southern Rhone white wine with fine acid. Really jolly drinking and great with delicate fish or simply as the classiest aperitif.

The English sparkling wine that put English sparkling wine on the map. The first English fizz to exclusively use the traditional three champagne grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Lovely pale gold and gentle, fine bubbles. Toasty, spicy and complex aromas showing wonderful development after more than three years on lees in our cellar. The palate supports these complex aromas with honey, almond, pastry and baked apple flavours. Very fine and elegant with a great combination of intensity, delicacy and length.

Ruinart’s flagship wine embodies the purity of the Chardonnay grapes from which it is made, primarily with Premiers Crus from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.

Pale lemon yellow this Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh young wine. It offers aromas of mint, melon and pineapple with refreshing citrus notes of lime and grapefruit. The palate is soft and fruity with a medium body and a well balanced acidity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Santenay 1er Cru Le Beaurepaire is especially good, and the vintage would have appeared to have played to this site's strengths. Delivering musky aromas of orange oil, bergamot, nutmeg, peach and pear mingled with hints of freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a fleshy, enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and an open but precise profile." 94 pts

The Grands Vins produced by Maison Vincent Girardin are amongst the region's finest. The vineyard is located near the Saint Aubin village at the top of the Chevalier Montrachet and Le Montrachet Grands Cru vineyards, in the south of the Côte de Beaune. Vines are over 45 years of age, and the grapes are manually harvested then pressed using a pneumatic press for slow and gentle extraction of the juice before 15 months of ageing with natural yeasts. This is a wonderful wine of great poise and freshness with a long finish.

Way, way out of its class - no other Laguna matches this for complexity. Chablis-like in its bracing stony frame but layered with waves of white peach, ripe lime, tarragon, hints of chilli or ginger. A slightly eccentric but 100% gorgeous wine that really commands attention.

Steely, lime, peach, mineral, rounded, feminine exotic fruits and floral. Jancis "lively and still quite full, viscous... overlay of spicy minerality"

Bright gold in the glass with Creamy citron tart, honeysuckle and lemon curd on the nose with a hint of cardamom spice. Delicious flavours of creamy but crisp lemon tart especially mid-palate. An elegant well-balanced wine with a lingering tail of citrus zest

"Fresh, clean, cool-climate style Chardonnay. A mélange of citrus and tropical fruit with a creamy texture from some expert oak handling. Chablis with attitude."Matthew Stubbs MW

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.

Pale yellow colour, with floral and honey hints, it is fresh, balanced, fruity, and with fine bubbles from 14 months bottle ageing. Fun, frothy, delicious, not taking itself seriously, very moreish. Ideal as an aperitif and for accompanying seafood.

This excellent white Burgundy comes from the intermediate clay/limestone slopes in the commune of Montagny. Very complex aromas on the nose, with successive fruity, floral and mineral hints, with particular menthol and lemon overtones. A full-bodied and rich wine with amazing finesse and delicate aromas.

The Fargueirol estate is named after the area of land called Fargueirol in the northern sector of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, which is known to have some of the best terroir. The Revoltier family have 15ha of vines in this lieu dit and a further 15ha in other plots. They have just 1 hectare of white grape vines planted to Clairette, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc. The grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel vats at 15% without malolactic fermentation to retain freshness. The wine is bottled young and can be enjoyed in its youth or up to 5 years of age. Its pale yellow color opens with a bouquet of honey and acacia flowers, notes of apricot with aromas of peaches, anise and sweet spices. On the palate, flavors of gingerbread and a perfectly round and fresh palate take over.

An opulent Champagne with the perfect balance of freshness and generosity, from the smallest and arguably the best of the Grande Marques. The Brut Réserve NV is a radiant pale gold colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is characterised by complex pastry aromas, with an opulent combination of ripe apricot, mango, greengages, dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The palate begins with a silky-smooth sensation, developing into ripe fleshy apricot, melon and enticing plum pastry notes and delicate spice. There is perfect balance of freshness and generosity.

A pale gold colour with green highlights, this Pouilly Fumé will seduce you with its aromas of ripe citrus fruits, oranges and lemons. The balanced palate reveals a certain freshness and superb material. A must for lovers of Sauvignon wines from the Loire, the aromatic complexity of this wine will win you over for sure!!!

mature and complex NV

Powerful, fresh and rounded. Blend of 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir. Paired with scone. Aroma from apple, citrus, lime, lemon zest, almond, apricot and brioche.

The palate is opulent between tension and finesse whil leaving a fresh and mineral finish. Good and strong structure in mouth. Robert parker Notes : The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus is brilliant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids and a layered, textural mid-palate, it concludes with a saline finish.

Another cracking vintage of this fresh and aromatic - easy drinking - white from the Languedoc-Roussillon with delicate fruit and a bright finish. The Vermentino is concentrated and characterful with delicate aromatics.

A great entry level wine from the de Bortoli family, with whom we have been working since 1994. Very pleasant Chardonnay. Cream, butter, apricot. Gentle and mild. Low acidity

Brilliant straw yellow . Intensely fruity bouquet with notes of white peach and grapefruit combined with hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate it is intense and mineral.

Wonderful and characterful small estate Picpoul from a great and talented family. Our partners for many years.
