Domaine Guy Amiot is run today by 4th and 5th generation owner Thierry and Fabrice along with Thierry’s daughter Heloise. The Domaine was founded in the 1920s by Arsene and Flavie Amiot who ran successful businesses in Paris which allowed them to acquire land and buildings in Chassagne Montrachet where their children were raised. Their 2nd son, Pierre, trained as a winegrower and started producing wines from his parents’ vineyards. The Domaine now produces 26 different wines in what has turned out to be one of the worlds elite white wine growing regions. They are even lucky enough to have some vines in the Le Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard. The picture shows a 2022 vintage, but our stock is the superior 2019 vintage.

Beautifully vivacious and fruity on the nose. Mulberries, soft red fruits on the palate, with soft tannins
to give some pleasing structure to this very moreish light red wine. Organic.

Vanessa has just 3ha of red grapes. As far as we can ascertain they are the only red grapes in the appellation. The vines are around 35 years old and this particular cépage is made up of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon mainly grown on Schist. Ageing is in Concrete vat.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, showing very ripe red fruit with some firm structure. Already drinking beautifully (and will for some time yet); and as ever a very superior Bordeaux Rouge - winner of a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal 2018. We sold pallets and pallets of the 2016 vintage, but arguably the 2016 is even better: The cooler nights of 2018 brought a little more finesse to the reds - a trait that we much admire in Bordeaux. Drink now till 2026.

2016 was a hit and miss year in Bordeaux, but Chateau Guillot Clauzet really hit the spot with careful management and selection to create this succulent and opulent Pomerol. Ripe and plummy, overlaid with smokey leather and forest-floor aromas, this elegant wine has matured beautifully. No need to wait - this is ready to enjoy now - but will continue to develop game and spice notes over the coming years with proper storage. Try alongside venison, pheasant, or strong cheeses. Delicious.

    This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, where gravelly soils meet the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines thrive, producing grapes of remarkable depth and complexity. This classic Cru Bourgeois is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon selected from the best grapes and oldest vines on the property. Aged for 12-18 months in oak, it is generously fruited with good structure, supple tannins, and a well-balanced finish.

Classic Medoc from a family enterprise situated just north of Saint-Estèphe, achieving Cru Bourgeois status in 1993. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a touch of Cabernet franc and Malbec, this lovely Bordeaux blend strikes the perfect balance; fresh blackcurrant, berries and plum, with a leafiness and perfume that brings brightness to the palate.

Concentrated but with a refreshing lightness on the palate.

This is made from a grenache and syrah blend, from old vines, and aged in tank for a few months. Concentrated and rich with lashings of plum and cherry fruit and tapenade. Always a star performer from the southern Rhône Valley, especially in the 2015 vintage.

Château Saint-Jeans Villages wine from Plan de Dieu is made at 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah
and 5% Carignan. A very good Cotes du Rhone. Intense red fruits. Full-bodied, ample, silky
tannins. In the mouth, there is a very nice and tasty density. This wine is powerful with a
spicy and very aromatic and spicy finish. It could be a Châteauneuf. Great drinking right
now (2020) with a good 5 years ahead of it. 

Ciacci make wines across the Montalcino region of Tuscany. This Rosso wine is comprised of 85% Sangiovese blended with 15% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah planted to vineyards located at 240-360 meters above sea level, where galestro soils dominate. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in cement vats. Sour cherry, spices and violets dominate, underpinned by subtle herbaceous notes and good grip from fully ripe tannins. An authentic Tuscan wine of superior quality. 

A perfect blend of 4 grapes. The black fruit spiciness of Syrah, deep perfume from Petit Verdot,  plummy juiciness from Merlot, and deep power of Cabernet Franc. The palate begins fresh and fruity, evolving into riper flavours and rich black fruit notes, with elegant tannins and a fine, bright finish. Some whole bunch inclusion brings a brightness that lifts the wine. Moreish acidity and food-friendly tannic structure make this wine an epicure’s delight. Orgonic and Biodynamic.

The Producer; Circle of Life Red is neither defined by grape varietals, nor indeed a specific block within the vineyard, but instead encapsulates the myriad soils, aspects, altitudes and grape varieties found on this windswept, biodynamic farm. Grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the cellar by horses for hand-sorting. Bordeaux varietals are de-stemmed, whilst Rhone varietals are not de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with wild yeast in large, open-top wooden fermenters with foot-pressing or manual punch-downs, ageing for 20 months in the same vessels. The components are then blended and the wine ages further in large wooden foudre. No fining, just a light filtration. No additions other than sulphur. Vegan friendly, biodynamic wine.

A premium gin, Citadelle was originally developed in a Dunkirk distillery in the late 18th Century, and at the time Dunkirk was one of the earliest European ports for explorers of the Orient, who brought back herbs and spices from the Far East. The result is a fabulous gin made with 19 different botanicals including Moroccan Coriander, French Juniper, Mexican Orange Peel and Chinese Liquorice.

A classic Marlborough Sauvignon blanc, showing great vibrancy and a full aromatic profile. Bursting with gooseberry, passion fruit and elderflower, amongst fresh cut grass and lime. Bright and refreshing on the palate, with a mouthwatering finish that leaves you reaching for more!

Produced by the Giulio Cocchi Spumanti company, this is a classic vermouth which was first produced in 1891. It is based on a recipe with Moscato wine, sourced from Asti, near Turin.

A 'triple-sec' liqueur made from Oranges with an absolutely delicious flavour. An essential ingredient in the Margarita cocktail, but very good on its own or over ice. 70cl

A Nebbiolo rosé! A rarity indeed. This wine is absolutely perfect with BBQed red meats. It has a little more structure and tannins than your more usual pink wines and as such works really well with grilled steaks and lamb. I can really recommend this wine.

Coterie – a small group with shared tastes or interests - and a group we enjoy being part of with wines of this quality! Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region. These cuvees are selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg.

Quite a grown-up wine, this is a textural, gently muscular expression of Cabernet Franc with Malbec. A Loire-inspired combination that was new in this South African model, but certainly a wonderful discovery. One wonders why it isn't being done elsewhere, but perhaps this special terroir plays as much a part. Rich, deep, and plummy from the Malbec, with fresh, herbaceous character supplied by the Cab Franc. Barrel fermented for 20 months. Great with grilled meats, especially lamb and spiced meat dishes.

What a stunnnig combination, and a stunning wine! Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other here. Both varietals love the Coastal Region’s arid soils and Mediterranean climate due to their inherent tolerance to drought. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. The Chenin blanc comes from an old, low-yielding Franschhoek vineyard planted in 1962. This brings freshness and tightness to the blend, the old vines also bring Wildeberg’s hallmark texture. The Grenache Blanc is from vibrant, younger plantings Paarl, adding body and structure with this cultivars naturally exotic notes of jasmine and white spice. gentle oak influence - 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels - simply to allow a little oxygen to soften and broaden this wine. A nose of warm sand and crushed rocks, there climbs a note of jasmine flowers, following through onto the palate with a breadth of texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. This would be great with Pad Thai, dishes using fresh herbs and dairy or a chicken ceaser. Incredible value here.

GRENACHE NOIR 70%, CINSAULT 30% The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated near to Lake Thau, set in a formerly volcanic region just inland from the sea. This has a particular micro-climate – as the proximity of the water has a moderating affect on the typically Mediterranean temperatures, allowing optimal ripening whilst retaining fresh acidity. The grapes are harvested in the early morning, then the wine is vinified as a classic rosé de presse, with soft pressing and cold fermentation.

Distilled with nine botanicals, Cotswolds Dry Gin is a London Dry with an aromatic twist. Juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, local lavender, bay leaf, hand-peeled fresh lime and pink grapefruit zest, cardamom and black peppercorn are distilled in a copper pot still, resulting in a rich and robust, award-winning gin.

Cotswolds Distillery does not remove the essential oils in their gin as these create a rich flavour and mouthfeel. As a result, the gin forms a unique pearlescent cloud when ice or tonic is added, and it tastes delicious!

Pale Ale. Refreshing, hoppy, zest. Positively lacking in cow.

We are so proud to work with Stone Daisy Brewery. I used to travel to the Fonthill Estate to collect wine from our bonded warehouse. It is a beautiful place, and their spring water is the best I've tasted. When I discovered their brewery and tasted the beer I knew we had to introduce this incredible discovery to our customers.

Aromas of intense ripe damson and black cherry with a hint of spice. Ripe and generous on the palate, robust and full-flavoured with intense plum and sour cherry fruit, balanced by tangy, juicy acidity, leading to a moreish finish.

A classic Southern Rhône red; friendly and warming autumnal, leafy aromas and an ample, baked fruit palate. A delicious, uncomplicated, soft, fruity and very drinkable red.  Made predominantly from a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. Traditional Rhône-based viticulture is used, with part manual/part machine harvest. 

Redolent of roses and ripe-for-the-picking strawberries, the refreshing De Toren Délicate is an elegant red blend that combines red’s seductiveness with the undeniable drinkability of white. Medium-bodied and immeasurably gentle, it offers up an abundance of juicy fruit and velvety, smooth tannins that lead to a sophisticated finish. Delicious on its own as an apéritif, it’s also the perfect consort to the lingering pleasures of Spanish tapas or aplatter of the finest French charcuterie.

A blend of long-aged XO Grande Champagne Cognacs, Delamain Pale & Dry benefits from a lengthy two-year marriage period in cask after assemblage before being bottled, resulting in a beautifully smooth roundness and flavour integration on the palate.

Aniseed, figs, apricot, cherry and honeysuckle combine in a smooth and extremely elegant cognac. Nothing less than we'd expect from this house.

British-born, Indian-inspired Desi Daru's aptly-named No.1 Vodka has been lovingly made with English winter wheat and refined Himalayan water distilled seven times for ultimate purity. The result is a meeting of East and West; bold yet subtle, rich and clean in flavour.

Sweet and citrusy, this Mango-Flavoured Vodka mixes the rich sweetness of Indian Alphonso mangoes with notes of English wheat. It's no surprise it's been crowned World's Best Flavoured Vodka.

Rum exclusively from the pot still rums, aged twelve, and titrating the final 40 °

Soft nose, becoming powerful with aeration with dominant cooked fruit, blond tobacco and honey.

Aromas of great intensity and diversity on the palate: dry and stewed fruit, butterscotch, acacia honey, tan, tanned leather, sandalwood.

Undeniably one of the classics.

A historic vermouth brand, Dolin has been made to the same recipe in the Alpine hills around Chambéry since 1821, and was awarded the only Appellation d'Origine for vermouth in 1932. The style is on the lighter and drier side, being sugared to around 130g/l.Sprightly and clean, with aromas of almonds, orange peel and a touch of wax. Rich and clean, with Christmas-cake spices, and notes of roasted nuts, lemon and grapefruit.Clean and refreshing, with a touch of sweet spice.

A lovely wine combing the freshness of Sauvignon blanc, with a dash of floral aromatics from Viognier. A great alternative for fans of Picpoul.

Domaine de Cavalier is run by the brilliant team at Chateaux de Lascaux, where the current winemaking team is the 16th generation of the family to make wine in Pic st Loup. You might say they not what they are doing!

Certified organic and Biodynamic wine

From the St Guilhem le Désert region in the sunny Val de Montferrand. Comprised of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah, this wonderful southern French wine lives and breathes the Langueoc style. With a lush richness and an inviting character, some inclusion of whole-bunch Syrah adds a perfume and lightness to the palate. Medium-bodied and in no way overblown, there is a finesse and liveliness not often found in these grapes from this part of the world. Very 'alive' tasting. With 10 generations of organic winemaking under their belt, this family Chateau certainly know what they're doing!  ORGANIC.

Winemaker Andre Farjon has 50 hectares of vines that he started farming biodynamically in 2008 and are now certified organic. The grapes are sourced from clay and limestone slopes around the town of Uchaux, as well as the gravel and clay soils on the flatter areas around Cairanne, giving Farjon a range of terroirs with which to work.

The Côtes du Rhône La Devèze blends Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan to produce a rich, black cherry and plump plum core, with hot stone notes buried on the finish. Medium-full bodied and well balanced, it beguiles with underlying notes of aromatic scrubby herbs like lavender and rosemary. Full of vitality. One of our bestselling wines, and for good reason.

A perfect partner for lamb with roasted aubergines and peppers.

An outstanding syrah-dominant Rhône red, full-bodied and packed with spicy dark fruit. Aged in a mixture of foudres and large barrels, this is made by the talented Adrien Fabre in the little-known appellation of Saint-Maurice.

A Muscadet with depth and complexity. Flinty and lightly mineral with appley fruit and real texture and interest. With some fruit from old vines, adding concentration and mineral complexity to this fresh, savoury wine. A true French classic and makes a perfect match for fish and shellfish. Try with Crab & Chilli Linguine with a good squeeze of lemon.

Vineyards are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above Domaine de la Motte's Chablis classified plots and so achieve good ripeness. The soil is Portlandian, which is less chalky than Kimmeridgian, and typically produces wines which are less mineral and more fruity, well suited to earlier drinking. Having said that, Motte’s wine has real finesse with good fruit character – very much their house style. Cool-fermented in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is also in stainless steel and the wine is unoaked.

Fairly restrained on the nose, savoury herbs and citrus on the palate. Well balanced with a suggestion of "hot stone" minerality. Old school, lean, and steely.

 The nose of this 2022 White Burgundy offers up a bouquet of juicy white stone fruit and subtle, toasty oak. Succulent peach and nectarine flavours fill the palate, tempered by zesty citrus and rounded out with notes of melted butter and a sizzling, iodine finish. 

Domaine des Tourelles Red is from one of the oldest and most highly acclaimed wineries in the Bekaa Valley. Blended from old vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cinsault, this is a rich, fruity red with ripe plum and cherry fruit and silky tannins. Just made for lamb & aubergine dishes.

Founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun, this was the first commercial cellar in Lebanon producing wines. Artisan winemaking skills and traditions are applied to their handcrafted wines - this includes minimum intervention in the vineyards and cellar, use of indigenous natural yeasts, no fining or filtering, and only very small amounts of sulphur. Domaine des Tourelles is classified amongst the finest boutique wineries of the Middle East.

A fabulous example of White Burgundy at its best. Deep golden in colour. Complex palate of green apple, rich tropical fruit, citrus all wrapped in toasty, nutty, creaminess. Perfect with roast chicken.

Fine mineral aromas with stone fruit notes. On the palate there is a depth of flavour expected of a grand cru, supported by decent acidity and a mineral core. Very long finish. This is Chablis at its purest…sublime.

Viognier, Marsanne and Clairette blend. Rich and limpid, the almost exotic stone fruit flavours are restrained by precise notes of lime. The deftest touch of oak adds texture and weight without overwhelming any of the fruit characters, and the finish just keeps going and going. Truely a wonderful wine. Pair this with roast Chicken and be in foody heaven!

From vines grown on a combination of clay and limestone soils in th village of Verrains. Vinified with
indiginous yeast, exclusively in cocrete vat. The easiest of easy reds, silky enough to enjoy
by the pint glass! Bright red fruits and the gentlest of silky smooth tannin. Serve with the lightest chill to show it at its best. Perfect with lamb.

The Jaume family have been making wine in the Rhone since 1826. They still own the same vineyards and some of the vines are over 100 years old. This, their truly excellent Blanc de Viognier is testament to their achievements in making white Rhone wines of top quality at accesible prices. Organic.

Such a great value wine. Deliciously ripe fruit with flavours of prunes, a touch of herbiness and pepper spice, the tannins are smooth and supple and the finish is fresh - a characterful, well structured Merlot. Fresh and juicy - not the usual 'flabby and bland' Merlot you find at this price. Smooth, ripe and seriously good - this is a very easy and generous drink, sure to please the crowds. Try with steak in peppercorn sauce.

Textured and luxurious this is a sophisticated Cabernet Franc from Gard. There is a wild 'after the rain' woodland perfume, with menthol and truffley hints. The palate is incredibly long and layered with bramble fruit, earthy peppery layers and a touch of sweet prune on the finish.

Juicy lamb shanks, rich tomato based dishes laced with roasted garlic and pepper, marinated steak with mashed potato and green beans or savour it at the end of the meal over a good cheeseboard.

This is a blend of all the 'caillotes' (limestone pebbles) parcels of the domaine, the vines are 25yo on average, vinified in stainless steel and aged for at least a year. A really textural style of Sancerre that really showcases some terroir rather than just Sauvignon typicity. The winery's commitment to sustainable farming practices ensures that the grapes are grown in harmony with nature, resulting in wines that are a reflection of the land they come from. The winemaking process at Domaine Thomas is minimalistic, with a focus on letting the grapes speak for themselves. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with the wine then ageing on its lees to develop a rich minerality and depth of flavour. The resulting wines are elegant and expressive, with a bright acidity and a purity of fruit that is unparalleled.

The Dveri Pax estate belongs to the Benedictine Monastery of Admont and wine has been made here since 1139 A.D. The Pax wine is made from local grape Furmint, blended with Pinot Gris, with an enlivening splash of Riesling. Dry, crisp, brightly fruited and mineral, this could literally be the Holy Grail! So refreshing and moreish; a real customer favourite for its originality and personality.

Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez) is matured, separately in its own solera for 12 years. Once blended together, the resulting sherry is returned to a 45-cask solera for a further 3 years ageing. Dark mahogany in colour with green-amber edge. It offers vibrant notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, shoe polish, raisin and chocolate beer nuts, all very well integrated. On the palate it is smooth and rich at the beginning, full of prune and burned oranges peel flavours. Provocative spicy notes appear just before its nuttiness and terrific acidity cuts through the sweetness. With a truly unforgettable finish. 50 cl

A red with layers of spicy fruit and damson, that massively over delivers.

Ripe, appealing aromas of plums, blackberries, and cherry and a hint of milk chocolate. Rich and spicy on the palate with dark fruit, balancing acidity and soft tannins.

Bodegas Juan Gil own over 500 hectares of vineyards, between 700 and 850 metres altitude, in the northwest of Jumilla: old bush vine Monastrell planted in chalky soils, and Shiraz grown in sandy soils on younger, trellised vines. Vinification is carried out at the winery in the heart of the Juan Gil vineyard area. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, temperature controlled, and the juice maintains contact with the skins during this 10-day process.

Will match up with rich pasta dishes with salami or ham, or a premium, meat-rich, lasagna with layers of meatballs and slices of pepperami in the mix! Sunny weather? - perfect for barbecues too.

A very smart Syrah from one of our favourite South African producers, this is plush, polished and seriously appealing. Fresh and lifted berry fruit aromas make for a very inviting nose; full yet elegant, with bramble, cassis and black cherry. These flavours follow on the palate with a typical Syrah note of black pepper spice. Fine, ripe tannins with a long rich, finish. Astonshing value.

Ideal with spicy dishes, red meats and rich Mediterranean dishes.

Sustainable viticulture, wild ferment, and no nasties. Proper wine, sensibly priced.

Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. It is crafted the wild way – old vine fruit from Stellenbosch and Swartland, fermented with wild yeast found naturally on the grapes…not in a packet. This magical transformation takes at least six months.

This windswept Sauvignon Blanc is not concocted from over-croppped grapes, nor pumped up on clever winemaking additives. This authentic wine comes from cool, windswept, ocean-facing vineyards in Stellenbosch. These gems give up meagre yields and small berries, which are hand-harvested to ensure natural intensity and cutting acidity is preserved. Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics, Fynbos (which surrounds the vineyards), mineral notes, with hints of citrussy richness. This is a restrained Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with just a touch of green pepper and grass. Fabulous seaside Sauvignon.

Sustainable viticulture, wild ferment, no nasties, vegan. Proper wine, sensibly priced.

The lesser-known white grape of Burgundy, Aligote is a hidden gem that performs very similarly to Chardonnay in the glass, with rounded nutty tones, creamy notes and a fresh acidity. As classic Burgundy gets more expensive, Aligote offers brilliant value for money from the same terroirs. And terroir is what Burgundy is all about.
