Burgundy

This is one of the most sought after, cult Beaujolais and available on allocation only. Earthy, complex and limited - our allocation is 12 bottles only and that's it for 2024. 

Brother and sister, Mathieu and Camille Lapierre, are doing a tremendous job of keeping their fathers? vision alive. Again, volumes aren?t huge and it?s a juggling act to share the different cuvees around, but these are cracking Beaujolais.

From the hills just outside the AOC of Chablis and south of Auxerre there are two AOC’s: Saint-Bris, for Sauvignon and Bourgogne Côtes d’Auxerre for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The soils here are extremely rocky and rich in the same types of limestone found in nearby Chablis. 

This wine has a richer body and texture than most Chablis. The nose is fresh and intense, leading to a ripe and concentrated palate. Notes of grapefruit, spice, and stone fruit are complemented by the wine's generous length.

A beautiful expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir which is now six years young and has further aging potential on its side. The vineyards included in this wine are in Volnay and Pommard and the wine comes from a warm vintage, known for the full bodied style of wines produced in 2015. 

Flavours here are complex mushroomy, truffles, savoury but fresh, earthy but clean. A superb wine from the traditional classic home of Pinot Noir. 

If you're looking for a top wine for a special occasion, here it is.
This drinks beautifully now and can hold for a couple of years but we love it right now so why wait?

The Joseph Drouhin Morgon offers a deep colour in the glass and opens with aromas of black fruits such as blackberry and dark cherry, eveolving into liquorice and spice. The palate follows suit with real richness and density resulting in a wine that will age for five or six years plus from the vintage.

The Seguinot family has been in Chablis since at least 1590 and this estate is now managed by Daniel Seguinot and his daughters, Emilie and Laurence. It covers 20 hectares on a south west facing slope in this most northern region in Burgundy. 

Thee family makes four different wine styles from Chablis, ranging from Petit Chablis and  Chablis to the two Premier Cru, Fourchaume, and Homme Mort.

This wine offers very good value for money and highlights this classic traditional home of the much loved Chardonnay grape.

Lovely crisp structure and fleshy mouthfeel from a superb Chablis producer in a wine that reveals white fruit notes such as peach, and has a persistent mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation which is so typical of Chablis makes this a round and pure wine.

Chablis is the northernmost wine region in Burgundy, which produces only Chardonnay. The cooler climate gives these wines crispness, acidity and a flinty minerality.

Les Griottes is a perfect example of what makes good Beaujolais so popular. It's made from the youngest vines on the estate so it's all about fresh fruit flavours and juicy acidity. It is called Les Griottes because the bottom of the vineyard is lined with cherry, wild cherry and morello cherry (griotte) trees. 

It's a fruit driven Beaujolais with spicy intense cherry flavours, just like its name suggests.

This wine represents great value for money as it shows what good Beaujolais is about. 

Drink lightly chilled.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from five parcels in the lieux-dits of Les Chênes, En Perret, Le Monté, Escolles et Les Muses where mineral rich, argilo-calcareous soils are found. The wine matures in egg shaped concrete cuves fro around 12 to 16 months retaining the purity and developing lees-driven flavours and textures.

This wine shows fresh aromas of green apple, florals, mineral notes and a plethora of citrus nuances. The palate is medium bodied and mineral-driven with great precision, leading to a dry firm finish.

Produced in the Maconnais region of Burgundy, Macon-Villages is vinified with no oak contact to retain the elegant aromas and clean, fresh character that this region is prized for. The vineyard soils have a high percentage of chalk and limestone which impart nuanced minerality.

The Petit Chablis takes its roots in Portland soil which is essentially made up of limestone. This appellation is the fruitiest of the Chablis wines and results in a fresh and pleasurable wine.

Yellow colour with green reflection, lime notes, grapefruit, passion fruit.
A gourmet wine, energetic with good persistence to serve with oysters and seafood in general.
