Olivier Tropet took over from his grandparents at Domaine Pique-Basse back in 2000 and since then has established the estate as one of the best in the up-and-coming Roaix region in the southern Rhône.

The vines here are over 40 years old so yields are small, but the quality of the fruit is exceptional, even more so in a stellar vintage like 2014. 

The domaine is organically farmed, so no herbicides or chemicals in the vineyard, the harvest is all done by hand and intervention in the winery is kept to a minimum. A beautifully balanced, complex wine with raspberry fruit, and notes of prunes, tobacco, spice and garrigue. It is silky smooth on the palate and passes the more-ishness test with flying colours. 80% Greanche, 10% Syrah, 10% Carignan.

A favourite with Decanter, and us!

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!

Full of vitality. One of our bestselling wines, and for good reason.

A perfect partner for lamb with roasted aubergines and peppers.

Beautiful balance between savoury, floral and opulent fruit aromas. Fairly full bodied and richly textured supported by a keen line of acidity.

Chenin is South Arica's signature white grape. Hugely versatile, it is able of making wines across the spectrum of very sweet all the way to dry.

Special Cuvée is the result of the delicate blending between harvest grapes and a majority of Reserve Wines in magnums, including some aged for more than 15 years in Bollinger’s cellars. In 1911, Bollinger’s British agent gave the idea for the name Special Cuvée - “special” written the English way, without an accent. He thought the French expression “Brut sans année” was no match for such a subtle champagne… More than a hundred years later, the name of Bollinger’s key figure champagne still symbolizes both its expertise and its history. A golden colour with a beautifully fine mousse. The nose is aromatic and complex with ripe fruit and spicy aromas. Roasted apples, apple compote and peaches burst on the palate. Brioche and notes of fresh walnut linger on the lasting finish. A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity.

Vila Nova Vinho Verde was awarded Best Vinho Verde of Portugal 2017. This refreshing blend of Loureiro, Avesso and Arinto is produced on the Lencastre family’s historic estate.

Serve ice cold.

Greco Di Tufo is one of the oldest grapes in the province of Avellino and was brought into the area of Tufo by the Greeks in the first century BC.

This is a delicious example of Greco Di Tufo. Notes of stone fruits dominate the aromas with peach and apricot, but there’s a delicious complexity that comes with hints of pear, almond, sage and a twist of minerality. The acidity cleanses the palate and keeps the wine refreshing and moreish, while the ripe fruit gives the wine a certain roundness and softness which balances perfectly. An excellent accompaniment to white meats, shellfish, seafood and vegetable soups.

One of the UK's only single estate English vodkas, Ramsbury Vodka is distilled, blended and bottled in a historic Wiltshire countryside belonging to the renowned Ramsbury Estate. An ancient aquifer influences the locally sourced wheat and water to create an enigmatic and refined edition.

Each bottle possesses a distinguished aesthetic and takes effort to note the provenance and variety of the wheat used. A very dignified affair.

Pinot noir from Beaujolais, as quirky as the vigneron himself. Jean-Paul Brun is quite a legend in Beuajolais. He works organically and avoids sulphite use, creating Beaujolais Villages wines, a stunning Chardonnay (also available from us) and this, his Pinot noir. The additional warmth and granitic soils of the 'Terres Dorees' give this Pinot a vibrancy and character all of its own. Retaining the elegance of Burgundy, yet with a little more of a wild side. Enjoy it for it's youthfulness and energy.

Made with Italian Juniper, Sicilian Blood Oranges & 6 other botanicals.

“Generous and magnificent. A truly excellent Amarone from a top producer.”

 They have presided over a quality-based evolution from an already strong base and this focus has been rewarded by multiple awards every year since 2001, culminating in the acclaimed prize in 2014 of Gambero Rosso “Red Wine of The Year” for their flagship Amarone Calcarole.

“Decadently rich and opulent, this is stunning Amarone with incredible weight and presence. Deeply aromatic, with ripe, dark berried fruit alongside sweet spice. The palate is rich and velvety, plump with an abundance of plum and raisin and sweet cherry compote, all supported by finely integrated oak. Sublimely structured yet maintaining freshness leading to a spectacularly long finish. Simply outstanding!”

From renowned winemaker Phillipe Bouzereau, comes this pristine and definitive expression of an extremely fine Chardonnay. Opulent and mouthwatering, with intense floral and citrus fruits combined with nutty, spicy nuances. Full bodied yet silky on the palate, this has an extraordinarily fine, long finish. The Monopole status indicates the relatively rare instance of this coming from a single plot in the Meursault region, outside of Cru status. Absolutely top class.

This Chardonnay opens with aromas of yellow pear, crème brûlée and hints of pineapple and oak. The aromas and flavours show tantalising notes of citrus, orange blossom and dried apricot. The Chardonnay from Los Carneros provides the bright acidity, citrus notes, and lean backbone of the wine, and the Chardonnay from the warmer growing regions contributes riper, fuller-bodied character. Vanilla aromatics from oak and floral perfume from the fruit precede ripe fruit flavors balanced with bright acidity and a rich mid-palate weight creating a multi-layered, complex wine with a lingering finish. Just everything you want from Napa Chardonnay, and all under £30.

Hailing from the southern Rhone, neighbouring Chateauneuf du Pape, comes this luscious and aromatic blend of Roussane, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc.

There’s a wonderful concentration of aromas together with a tense structure. Pale ruby in appearance, with aromas of raspberry, red cherry, dried herbs, pepper, and clove given weight by a tight tannic texture and a long, involved finish. Drink with grilled meat.

Excellent value white Burgundy from the commune of Rully, in the Maconnais. The more southerly climate of the Maconnais gives wines that are approachable in youth and with a fruit-driven core. Elevage in part new oak brings nuttiness and richness without overpowering the vibrancy of the fruit. True class from this renowned Burgundy producer.

After a temperature-controlled fermentation in oak barrels this age-worthy wine is matured for 12 months in large oak casks, with 20% of the wine resting in barriques. The result is a wine of exceptional quality and poise that will evolve for many years in bottle.

A composition of Terlano’s three most traditional white varieties, namely Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, this cuvée, which was one of the wines produced when the winery was founded, is an extremely complex wine. Pinot Bianco, as the main variety used in the cuvée, provides the freshness and a good acid structure, while Chardonnay delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon adds the fine aromatic character.
Green apple and white peach combine with fine nuances of lemon balm and mint to create the typical aroma of the classic Terlano. Lively yet mellow character. The multifaceted, well structured flavour derives from an interplay of freshness and minerality and also has a wonderfully persistent finish.

Lovers of white burgundy will find great pleasure here. From the high-altitude, rocky, vineyards of Mendoza in Argentina, comes this superb Chardonnay. Concentrated and intense on the nose, with citrus, pineapple and green apple aromas. Vanilla and buttered toast notes from ageing in French and American oak are balanced by a racy mineral character, bringing freshness to the palate. Showing great concentration and balance and a that finish is long and persistent.
