Made using part appassimento method. Vibrant purple colour and a rich luscious nose full of sweet ripe dark cherry, plum, vanilla and christmas spice. Rich and velvety, with lots of juicy fruit. Very easy drinking. Great wine for roasted and grilled meats. Ideal with game dishes. Excellent with mature hard cheeses. 

Before picking, the ripe grapes are left on the vines for up to 15 days. The grapes begin to dry naturally on the vine (appassimento). The grapes are then carefully hand harvested before being pressed. After fermentation the wine is aged in oak for 3-4 months. This careful and prolonged winemaking delivers a wine of excellent quality and depth, yet at a snip of a price.

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 2015 vintage, but arguably the 2016 is even better: The cooler nights of 2016 brought a little more finesse to the reds - a trait that we much admire in Bordeaux. Drink now till 2023.

A full-bodied, richer style of Sancerre as the wine was partially aged in large, seasoned wood barrels. This slow exposure to air renders a wine with great sophistication. The vines are younger, at 15 years in age, and come from Sauvignon Blanc vines planted in 0.4 ha of south east facing, slopes of clay-limestone soil covered in Caillottes. Classic flinty minerality, enhanced by the barrel ageing, along with zesty citrus notes and inviting Sauvignon grassiness. Fresh, aromatic, and supremely rounded for a Sauvignon blanc, this is a world away from the pungent New-World style, and all the better for it.

A sublime Cru Bourgeois wine from this stellar vintage. This decadent wine comes from a historic estate in Listrac, dating to the 18th century. It offers ripe tannins and a bold, structured, core. Dark black plummy fruits alongside tones of licquorice and floral notes. Decanter's most improved cru Bourgeois Chateau since 2010. This impressive wine is starting to show well now but will continue to develop slowly for the next 10-15 years.

An elegant, intense and fruit driven Rioja, form the esteemed Roda estate.

Sela is Tempranillo dominated and completed with a little Graciano and Garnacha. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels leading to an elegant, medium-bodied wine with fresh and flavourful red fruits, hints of sweet spice with polished, silky tannins. Everything is very well intergrated and the finish is satisfyingly persistent. 2015 is the current vintage, and drinking wonderfully right now. If you can wait, this stunning wine will develop beautifully in bottle for a further 10 years.
A wine that combines freshness and maturity it's versatile enough to match with roast beef, or spicy Indian dishes.

Maison Joseph Perrier offers us a Blanc de blancs cuvée representing all the elegance and freshness of the magnificent terroir of the Côte des Blancs. The 'Cuvee Royale' was the cuvee supplied to King Edward VII and Queen Victoria.

This Brut Champagne has a beautiful aromatic richness and a ageing potential of several years.  There is a lively attacking style, yet it is ample and fresh, with citrus overtones. Sweet spicy flavours of cinnamon and vanilla with gourmet notes of biscuit, over a delicate lemony finish. Utter class, and literally fit for a King (and Queen!)
